Wrapping paper can be a hassle and when you are facing needing to wrap a bunch of gifts (such as for your 20 horsey friends at the barn) you might not be looking forward to wrapping all of those gifts. Sometimes, though, wrapping paper isn't needed when you give a gift that is its own gift-wrap. Here are 6 gift ideas for the horse lover that will make a pretty presentation without the need of gift wrap.
A great, little gift for barn friends, co-workers, your horse trainer, or other equestrian professional, an accessory bag can be filled with candy, horse treats, hair ties, or other small items to make a creative gift that wraps itself. No gift wrap needed - just tie a ribbon around it to add a gift tag and you're done.
2. Tote Bag
A stylish tote bag is not only handy to have, but it can fit larger gifts inside it than the accessory pouch can. Put a fleece throw, hoodie, throw pillow, or a combination of smaller items inside easily for a fun gift that is itself a unique presentation.
3. Metal Enamel Bowl with Lids
These enamel bowls come in three different sizes. Buy one or one of each and stack them for a three-tiered gift topped with a bright red bow on top. Fill each bowl with something different such as cookies, candies, horse socks, horse treats, rolled-up horse tee shirt, or anything else your mind can think of that might fit inside. The plastic lid will help maintain freshness on baked goods too.
Pictured above is a country floral horse patterned enamel bowl filled with a matching equestrian neck gaiter and holiday candy for a sweet, finishing touch.
4. Wine Tote
A bottle of wine is a popular gift among fellow equestrians. A wine bottle can be a challenge to wrap, however. An easy solution is a fun horse lover themed wine tote from The Painting Pony. The wine tote will cover the bottle so it's a surprise what's inside with a fun pattern on the tote. Tie a ribbon around the handle and it's instantly festive as a gift.
Travel Tumblers from The Painting Pony are stainless steel and keep your drinks hot for hours. But you can also fill them with fun goodies and use them as an attractive container to give as a gift for things such as horse cookies, a fun pair of socks, lip balms and other fun items. The lid of the tumbler will keep things secure and you can easily add a bow on top with tape to make it more festive. No gift wrap required!
Who doesn't enjoy a cute coffee mug as a gift?! Whether you prefer coffee or tea, a horse themed mug is always a good idea for the equestrian. When you use a small bag and fill it with something sweet, you can put it inside the mug to make a cute presentation to leave on your horse friend's tack trunk at the barn as a cute gift. No need for gift wrap - just add a ribbon or bow!
