Best Gifts For Your Barn Bestie!

Barn Bestie - Holiday Gifts They'll Love!

The holiday season is upon us and we are all receiving some serious retail therapy right now. The barn bestie can be a tough one sometimes - especially if they seem to have one of everything!  We've got your back, after brainstorming the staff and local customers we've put together a list that should help you find a gift that's both thoughtful and creative.

Tack Trunk Emergency Kit
Mishaps occur all the time and never when it's convenient. Putting together a little first aid kit for your friends tack trunk could come in handy for both of you - and not just for the band aids! You'll need a small sealable plastic container to start. We suggest filling it with things like a pocket pack of tissues, a spare hairnet, Tide stain sticks, band aids for blisters, small tube of triple AB ointment, alcohol wipes, hand sanitizer, lip balm, small towel, facial sunscreen, hand lotion and top it off with their favorite candy. 

Photo Album
One of my all time favorite gifts from a barn buddy in my youth was a photo album she customized for each of her friends. This is definitely for the crafty set as it requires a glue gun. My friend started with an inexpensive photo album, cut out cardboard to make it a bit sturdier. She then cut out a key hole in the card board. Covered the cardboard in a fun quilted fabric and trimmed the edge with some eyelet lace. She then took the fabric covered cardboard (making sure to cut out the keyhole) and glued it to the photo album leaving a pocket above the key hole. She then added a picture of me and my horse to the keyhole and a picture of she and I with the junior barn crew to the first page to get it started. She finished the album with two pieces of ribbon to tie it closed. I'm not crafty at all, this has been a treasured gift for many years.
