Make a Horse Gift Basket for Your Horse Lover for that personal touch.

A Custom Made Horse Gift Basket
-
Design It Yourself!

A fine horse gift basket of your own making - a bushel of pleasure.

How about a gift of your own creation? A custom-made gift basket for your horse lover is one idea.
Gift baskets have likely been around about as long as gifts themselves. Great fun to put together and great fun to receive.

The Three Components

the container - get one locally, who wants to pay shipping and handling on a bucket?
the goodies - get them locally or over the net, or through us (hint, hint)
the horse gift wrap - we will leave this up to you.

If you'd like to share your own thoughts on what would make a great gift basket for a horse lover you'll find an invitation to do so at the bottom of this page.

The Container

feed bucket
galvanized pail
wicker basket
muck bucket (for lots of goodies or big stuff - no pun intended)
plastic storage bin (not too exciting but very useful)
tool box (with a lift out tote tray)
tote box
a saddlebag (or pair), pommel-bag or cantle pack

The tote bag pictured on the left might serve as an approriate container. You can order one from our the Household Items Section of our Gift Shop. These 100% cotton canvas tote bags have plenty of room to carry all sorts of equine-related goodies.. They include a bottom gusset and extra long handles for easy carrying.

The Goodies

Lead ropes (cotton is best)
Halters (nylon or rope)- several for the owner of a herd ( leather halter for show)
Grooming supplies (you can buy a kit but this might be more fun - a tote box will give added value for this type of gift)
Farrier & Hoof Care Items (picks, brushes, knives, trimmers)
Items ranging from apparel to coffee mugs featuring equine designs that you select or have created yourself. Take a look at the Gift Shop Designs page to see how to go about it.
An Equine First Aid Kit ; big container for the barn (here is where the tool boxes might come in handy), small one for the trail; a very practical gift.
Treats (a horse gift for the horse of course, apple-oat biscuits are generally well appreciated!)
Books, videos, a couple of horse magazines
Items for the trail; emergency kits, snacks, maps, compass, saddlebags (reading material for an extended trail riding vacation)
Items for show and eventing
Riding Gear/Helmet/Hat
Outerwear/Rainwear
T-Shirts/Sweat Shirts
Spurs (not recommended for the beginning rider)

Here's another idea for a gift "basket" from our Gift Shop.
Our large coffee mug featuring our ranch logo is primarily intended for coffee of course.
But it also makes a fine pen and pencil holder or filled with candy or other goodies makes a nice
Holiday or Thank You Gift.
The logo clearly identifies the owner as a "Horse Lover". Also available is a smaller mug (actually better for coffee). Click here for more information on the mug.

Tip: Clear cellophane gift wrap might work best here.

Whatever you choose to do, get a container of one sort or another and have some fun creating your very own horse gift basket!
