A Custom Made Horse Gift Basket
|
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.
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
- a coffee mug -(see below)
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.
- 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)
Holiday or Thank You Gift.
