Christmas Gifts for Chicken Lovers: 10 Ideas From Our Farm
If you have a chicken lover on your Christmas list, you already know the problem: they do not want another candle. They want something with chickens on it, preferably something with THEIR chickens on it, or at least something that proves you understand the flock comes first.
We raise Ayam Cemani chickens here on our family farm in Headland, Alabama, and every gift below is something we make to order in our own shop. Order by December 8th for Christmas delivery.
1. The front-door statement: a personalized chicken doormat. Eight hens, standing at attention, with your family name across it. Our Personalized Chicken Doormat takes two lines of your own words — "Welcome to the Coop" up top, your family name down below — printed on real coir that actually scrapes boots.
2. The tree needs a wine hen. Our Wine Hen Acrylic Christmas Ornament is a black hen raising her glass, framed in leafy greens. She is here to bless your tree with good judgment, and she makes a fine gift for the chicken keeper who also appreciates a good pour.
3. Ornaments for the whole flock. If the wine hen is not their style, our Jeweled Christmas Tree Glass Ornament and Winter Trees Glass Ornament bring the sparkle, and the Personalized Photo Acrylic Ornament puts their own photo and three lines of text on a clear circle ornament.
4. A gift for the dog that guards the coop. The Personalized Paw Print Dog Bowl takes the dog's name in stainless steel. Every farm dog earns one.
5. Something for the kitchen. Our Personalized Glass Cutting Board carries a funny Thanksgiving pumpkin-pie-chasing-turkeys design with your own text. It is the rare cutting board that starts a conversation before dinner does.
6. Their photo, big on the wall. The Personalized Photo Canvas Print turns a phone picture — a grandbaby, the dog, the whole family, the best catch — into a 16 by 20 gallery-wrapped canvas, ready to hang the minute it lands on the porch.
7. A case for the phone that takes all the flock pictures. Our iPhone Chicken Case and Samsung Chicken Case carry a vintage roosters, hens and chicks farmyard scene. Clear for iPhone, tough for Samsung.
8. Cozy, with chicks on it. The Little Chicks Throw Blanket (also in blue and pink) is soft, machine-washable, and covered in little chicks. Couch, bed, or chicken coop viewing chair — we do not judge.
9. The egg dealer's tote. Know someone who sells eggs at the farm stand? The Personalized Egg Dealer Tote Bag takes their own custom text and carries the goods in style.
10. The gift that says you get it. Not sure which one? A personalized gift — anything with their name, their flock, or their photo on it — beats a generic gift every time, because it proves you were paying attention. That is the whole point of this farm shop.
Order by December 8th for Christmas delivery, and Merry Christmas from our flock to yours.
