The 12 Days of John Deere Christmas

Christmas is just around the corner. Why does it seem to sneak up on us every year? Well there is still time to get your favorite John Deere Christmas gifts. Here are 12 John Deere Collectible to make your Christmas bright.

John Deere Ornaments – Ornaments are a great gift to pull out each year and remember that special someone who gave it to you. They are especially nice when the year is featured. There are a variety of ornaments to choose from such as the dated Pewter ornament featuring a different tractor each year. You can also find ornaments that look like miniature John Deere tractors. There are ceramic ornaments that feature the John Deere trademarks from over the year. There are beautiful glass balls and bells in green and yellow that features the John Deere logo.

Speaking of adorning your tree with John Deere you may be interested in something for the top. There are John Deere Christmas Tree Toppers shaped like a real John Deere Tractor with a light in them that shines an attractive green glow.

There are Light sets shaped like the real John Deere Tractor Toys with a light inside to make them glow. These can adorn your tree, Christmas pine garland and you can even use them year round as camping or party lights.

So many holiday cards are mailed each year. Why not make your stick out from the rest by sending John Deere Christmas cards. The cards feature Santa of course riding a John Deere Tractor with a special greeting on the inside.

Once you have your tree covered in John Deere don’t forget about what’s under the tree. Yes, there is even John Deere gift wrap. I think it is so beautiful to wrap all my gifts in the same color John Deere gift wrap that even matches all the decorations on my tree. The receiver of your gift will think you went the extra mile by wrapping it in their favorite green and yellow John Deere Trademark.

And the John Deere stockings were hung by the chimney with care. What little boy or girl wouldn’t love to wake up on Christmas morning to a real John Deere stocking filled with their favorite John Deere Toys. Stockings come in the traditional green and yellow or pink and white for all farm girls.

Now that you have inside your home all decked out in John Deere it’s time for Santa driving a John Deere snowman to be seen in your yard. Blow up John Deere lawn decorations will make you the envy of the neighborhood.

John Deere Collectibles – Christmas is the season to give those one-of-a-kind gifts to the ones you love. Your selection could include a large neon John Deere sign, wallets, and jewelry, Precious Moments figurines, John Deere Cookbooks, coffee mugs, calendars, tool boxes and so much more.

Toys are an ever popular gift for the little ones at Christmas time. You can find everything from 1:16 scale replicas, to the 1:64 miniature versions. John Deere remote control tractors. Educational preschool toys and John Deere Ride-on toys such as bicycles, trikes and battery operated tractor and gator toys.

Hats are a long standing basic gift and there are literally dozens of John Deere Hats to choose from. They range in size from infant to adult and everywhere in between and come in all colors such as black, camouflage, and pink but by far the most popular is green.

John Deere Clothing is another great gift option for people of all ages and sizes. John Deere Hoodies are probably the most popular item for clothing but t-shirts and jackets come close behind. Just like the hats they come in all colors and sizes from infant to 3XL. Adults go for the Classic green, black and grey. While little boys and girls love a John Deere hoodie with a tractor on it.

Pets, of course you can forget Fido at Christmas. John Deere has a full line of pet items including collars, leashes, t-shirts, hats, pull/tug toys and more. Again, the color selection is the tried and true John Deere green and yellow plus girls rule with pink.

So this year when you think of the 12 Days of Christmas…think of making them John Deere Days.
