Most of my friends love watching Fixer Upper, in fact, we frequently discuss our favorite parts of the latest renovations and daydream about fixing up a house in that signature modern farmhouse style! (Though, wasn’t Season 3 great how Joanna really branched out to create some spectacular designs based on different aesthetics? You could still tell she designed them, but she really ran with the clients’ unique styles!)
So this brings me to today’s post… a gift guide for the Fixer Upper fan! I’ve been working for a while, curating sixteen perfect items for this list, and I’m quite happy with all of the amazing things I found! Any Fixer Upper fan would be thrilled with a gift from this list.
Fixer Upper Fan Gift Guide
Let’s start in the kitchen… shall we?
1. Cutting board
You may have noticed that almost every Fixer Upper kitchen styling includes a gorgeous wooden cutting board. I have one very similar to this, and I love that I can use it for cutting as well as a serving piece for casual gatherings! A friend who is just putting together a kitchen of her own needs a piece like this.
2. Cake stand
Every modern farmhouse needs a great cake stand! This one is classic and beautiful. The one I have looks just like this, and I use it for everything from cakes to fruit to seasonal vignettes!
3. Hanging boxes
I’ve been trying to track these wooden herb boxes down since I saw a pin featuring them years ago. They are just too cute! Can’t you see them stuffed with potted herbs (or even artificial greenery)? Because every room needs something green & growing!
4. Egg basket
This egg basket is a farmhouse classic. While it would look great in a kitchen, I could also see it gracing other parts of the house, too!
5. Mug rack
Your friend probably has enough mugs (my personal collection is overflowing), so why not help a gal out with this stunning wall-mounted mug rack? I love the clean lines and its classic simplicity. Very farmhouse chic.
6. Burlap runner
Moving into the dining room, a burlap runner is a must-have for the modern farmhouse. This one is a fairly good price, but I have several that I purchased from the dollar section of Target for $3. I use them on my dining room table, breakfast nook table, mantle, and for parties! Grab one for yourself and one for a friend!
7. Wooden tool box
I have several friends who would love this wooden tool box. With five sections, it could be used to house silverware at a party, greenery for an everyday centerpiece, or crayons/craft supplies for a kids’ worktable! I love how it’s already distressed and comes in such a pretty shade of blue.
8. Chalkboard storage boxes
Speaking of storage, I think these little crates are so cute! They could easily be the main gift, but you could also use them as the “gift box” for another gift (perhaps a cookbook or a mason jar of wildflowers).
9. Wire basket
Continuing with the storage theme, these wire baskets would look great on some built-ins in the living room! They look like the perfect size for corralling small books, CDs, or toys. Again, this would make a fun, non-traditional gift bag.
10. Metal tray
This tray is so fun! Can’t you just see it on a coffee table, filled with a pitcher of lemonade and some tall glasses? Or you could place a few potted plants or some old books wrapped with twine inside it. Everything looks better when grouped inside a tray!
11. Tin letter
This letter (which comes in most of the alphabet… click “size” to see which ones are available), would be such a fun inclusion to a gallery wall! Help a friend celebrate a new last name or a new home with this cute statement piece.
12. Vintage letter box
Even if this mailbox isn’t needed for incoming mail on the front porch, it would be really adorable by the front door for storing outgoing mail or cards to deliver to friends! I like the little embossed bird, of course.
13. Ceramic birds
And, speaking of birds, these white ceramic birds would look sweet nestled on a bookshelf or incorporated into a spring place setting. (I can just picture one placed on each person’s cloth napkin, laid casually over the center of their plate!)
14. Boxwood wreath
Every modern farmhouse needs a beautiful boxwood wreath! If this one is out of your price range, don’t fret! I’ll be posting a tutorial soon on how to make one yourself for next to nothing!
15. Mason jar soap dispenser
Filled with some sweet-smelling hand soap, this classy soap dispenser would make a lovely housewarming gift.
16. Black lantern
I get compliments all the time on my lanterns on my porch, so I’ve thought about picking up a few of these lanterns as gifts (and to replace my current porch ones… they’re getting a little old)! They really help the front porch say, “welcome!” in true Joanna Gaines fashion.
Feel free to pin this for future reference (I keep a secret board just for gift ideas)!
