Christmas shopping – whether you love it or hate it, most of us
have to
buy at least one present at Christmas. Fortunately, with access
to the
internet, finding the right gift for a horse lover couldn’t be
easier and,
with a little careful planning, it doesn’t have to break the
bank!
The key to successful gift buying is to really know what your
friend
or family member would like. It sounds like a cliché – but it
really is the
thought that counts, a well chosen present that reflects the
interests and style of
the
recipient is worth 100 gift vouchers! If you know someone who
loves horses, but don’t know what
practical gift to buy them, the answer is to buy them a
horse-themed gift. This could be anything
from a
horsey mug at under £10 to a bronze sculpture of a horse at over
£100.
For
ladies, a carefully chosen horse gift should reflect their sense
of style
as well
as their love of horses. A handbag or shoulder bag on an
equestrian theme is a useful as well as elegant present. Choose
the
right colour to match the latest trend in checks and tweeds and
it will
even look good with their favourite old Barbour jacket! You can
never
go wrong with jewellery, and a bracelet or necklace on a horse
theme is certainly different to anything you’ll find on
the high street, but just as contemporary and stylish.
It doesn’t have to be anything as obvious as a horse’s head,
modern
equestrian pieces, such as a
snaffle bracelet or horse shoe
earrings are a much more subtle indication of the wearer’s love
of horses.
For men, cufflinks are available in the shapes of riding caps
and boots
as well
as
horse and jockey shapes. If he’s not the type to wear
cufflinks, but likes the odd tipple
(and
who doesn’t – especially at Christmas!), why not get him a horse
head bottle stopper, shot
glass
or bottle opener?
Children are generally much easier to buy for. Anything in pink
will delight
a pony-loving girl. But buying clothes means you have to worry
about
sizes and how quickly they will be outgrown. So why not go for a
pink
“
Pony Fund” money pot and encourage her to start saving! Boys
can
be more difficult, but money pots also come in brown or blue. To
amuse the whole family, buy a Whinny Coo Clock, - the wacky
horse
automatically appears on the hour - every hour! It gallops
through
the door to the sound of thundering hooves and finishes with a
neigh - all surprisingly realistic! It’s sure to delight the
kids and
drive Mum and Dad mad!
Finally, don’t forget the wrapping paper. A single colour, good
quality paper
in
traditional Christmas colours with a contrasting ribbon will
make your gifts
look
fabulous. So now you’ve got horsey gifts all wrapped up and you
didn’t
even
have to leave the comfort of your own home!
