Canvas Prints
A great way to personalize a gift while documenting great horses and cowboys is with custom canvases. You can turn any photo into canvas and given them as gifts. Create custom art work for any room in your house or even take them to your office.
Front pocket wallet
Training horses and time spent in the saddle can easily result in the loss of a wallet if it hangs out of a back pocket. Save the saddle from scratches and the time spent searching for a lost wallet and opt for a front pocket wallet.
Necessities
Take inventory and search for ideas from what you find needs replaced. This may include shirts, jeans or the following:
Depending on your family dynamic, you might be the one in control of your husband’s wardrobe (as well as the laundry). Are you finding more an more holes in undergarments?

Think he’d look amazing in something or have you been trying to convince him to try something other than white? Now’s your chance.

At least he’ll have a package to open on Christmas morning and it will serve as a reminder of gifts and blessings from the entire year.
