Top 12 Western Gift
Ideas:
Christmas is just around the corner and it is always fun to find that unique
and special gift for your favorite cowboy or cowgirl and don’t forget your
equine partner! Here’s a list of some of my favorite western gifts. I hope
Santa will use this list when he does his shopping for me! And, yes, Santa, I
(Jo) have been a very, very good girl this year!
1. Western Rugs –
Priced $39 & up – lots of colors and patterns – for home, office or horse
trailer.
2. American Ranch Faux Leather & Fleece Throws
- $50 – washable, softest feel ever – perfect for the recliner,
couch or
living quarter horse trailer.
3. Boots – Can’t have too many pairs of
boots! Work or dress, exotic or casual. Two must haves – Ariat Terrains –
the
leather lace up shoe that is so comfortable with lots of support for walking
and standing; and the warm, dry,
lightweight, comfortable, Muck boot, for
chores and winter weather! Buckaroos were the most popular style of
boot sold
at the Extreme Cowboy Race along with square toed boots.
4. Western Apparel – Shirts, blouses,
jeans, belts, socks, vests, jackets, sweatshirts, wild rags and gloves! For
the authentic cowboy western look – tapestry vests, bib and collarless WahMaker shirts for cowboys and mutton
sleeve blouses, vests and split riding
skirts for the cowgirls. Always dress your western best and what cowgirl or
cowboy doesn’t like new duds!
5. Western Art – Deck the walls with a
new piece of western art. Liven up the bunkhouse for your holiday
entertaining
with a new look and a new picture on the wall will make a dramatic change.
Drape a little greenery
over it for a festive holiday look while you are
decorating.
6. Hats & Hat Cans – Time to treat your
self to a new western felt hat. Let Mike & Dewayne custom shape it
to fit your
face. Colors range this year from silver belly to brown to black. Ribbon trim
is really in! Dewayne just
loves his new Bison hat from Resistol – yes, it’s
made from Buffalo fur! Want a custom hat made? Let us put you
in touch with
The Hat Doctor, Rex Fleming, Warrensburg, MO and he will build it for you.
Another perfect gift is
a hat can to store your good hats to protect and
retain the shape. Hat cans run $40 and come in all colors – you
can even paint
or decorate the hat can if you are creative!
7. Leather Jackets – It is leather
weather! Leather works for dress or casual wear. Leather vests are always a
popular gift. Lambskin sports jackets with ostrich trim are the hot item for
men. Men’s suede fringe jackets are
a must have this year. Ladies have many
styles to choose from – suede or smooth leather in tan and black with
many
different trims – plus leather vests and shawls for that special event.
8. Unique Western Jewelry – Win that
cowgirl’s heart with a beautiful turquoise necklace, bracelet, and earrings.
Montana Silversmith has a great collection this year as well. Cowboys, you
can’t go wrong with a piece of jewelry!
9. Western Dishware – Update that holiday
table with a new set of western dishware. There are many new patterns
to
choose from – Brands (tan with brown brands), Iron Star (in blue and rust)
,White Equine Elegance (in white) or
the new Vintage Collection from Montana
Silversmith; Andiron from Triple Creek; and Rust Star & Barbwire from
M&F.
Have the dishes? Now it’s time to add the silverware, glassware and companion
pieces. Don’t forget the
cowhide table runners or placemats to show off your
new dishware. Or how about a cowhide wine holder or
western vase to add
pizzazz to your table.
10. Purses, Wallets, Billfolds, Cell Phone Holders,
Checkbook or Bible Covers – Any nice quality leather
product is not
only a functional, but a stylish gift that reminds you of the western
lifestyle each time you use it.
11. Chinks – Now we know why all the real
cowboys wear them – they are comfortable, protect your legs, keep
you warm,
help keep you in the saddle and they look good! Saddle Barn’s tooling is
outstanding and the leather
is soft. I’m definitely putting a pair of chinks
on my Christmas list.
12. Gift Certificates – Totally confused and
don’t know what to get that hard to find person – go for a gift
certificate
and let them pick out the gift that will fit their needs – makes everyone
happy and it is easy!

Cody Bruner Benefit Rodeo Sat., Dec. 15th in Topeka
Unfortunately, during the URA Finals rodeo in November, Cody Bruner, bull

Expocentre has donated the arena for a benefit rodeo on December 15th at 7 pm.
Slack will be held that morning. Tickets will be sold at the door with all
proceeds going to the Brunner family to help cover funeral expenses. Tickets
will be either $5.00 or $6.00 per adult and half that amount for children.

Christmas festivities and come out to support this benefit rodeo.
