12/1/2016

Wanna give your cowgirl something unique this holiday season? Well, yeeeeehaw cowboy! You're in luck 'cause here's a western gift guide for the horse lover in your life. Read on for some creative gift ideas you'll want to tip your cowboy hat to ...

1. A Pair of Cowgirl Boots

Forget the mistletoe! You're a cowboy guaranteed to get kissed when she unwraps these! Gifting cowgirl boots is a shoe in for holiday gift giving success. I recommend selecting a colored pair or boots with uniquely tooled leather! Red, teal, corral even yellow cowgirl boots are super fun, sassy and make a statement when entering a room. I personally own pair of Dan Post boots - not only are they fashionable - they are tremendously comfortable! Need some inspiration? Check out my Pinterest board called Cowgirl Boots - Wanted!

Amazon has plenty of Cowgirl Boots to choose from!

2. Comission A Portrait of Your Cowgirl's Horse

You'll avoid the naughty list for an entire year with this beyond thoughtful horse gift! Commission an equine artist to paint her pony. and hang that canvas over the fireplace with a bow while she's nestled in her bed so it's the first thing she sees in the morning. Get some ideas by perusing the artwork of a friend of mine from Arizona! Check out his beautiful horse artwork here: http://www.pelokeart.com/

Want to melt that cowgirl heart like snow? Her heart will go pitter patter over a personalized equine photography session with her own horse. Heck, why not offer to be in the photos too! That sure should make her spurs jingle! A great example of this thoughtful gift for your horse lover is Melanie Elise Photography. Melanie offers affordable 15 to 30 minute mini-sessions.
