Hunting christmas presents for a male

[FemelleReynard]

Hello all,

So I have my boyfriends birthday and obviously Christmas coming up in December so I'm on the look out for presents. Briefly, he's a 25 year old who's a whipper in so very into hunting/country sports. Can anyone suggest any presents within this theme?

I was going to get him some nice hunting breeches but he's inherited several pairs so that's out. Last year I got him waterproof over breeches which proved very useful. He's pretty much sorted hunting kit wise so no need for boots/shirts etc.

I like the idea of a useful present that will last so any ideas please let me know, I'm at a bit of a loss currently.

New hip flask? With pouch to go onto the saddle?

Hip flask with his initials engraved on to it?
Antique stock pin?
Hunting painting or print?
A puppy (if he has the time for one)?
Taxidermy such as a fox's mask or stag head?

hip flask or saddle flask in nice leather case

I've been trying to get my OH a bespoke waistcoat for the hunt ball with a hunting theme print. That said I haven't found one yet - but it is still a good idea! if you find one PM me!

Mmmm....... what about some of those heated feet/pocket inserts to keep him warm on a nippy day???

I would say a hunting print, sounds good. Tbh Whips are pretty regulated in what they can wear and shouldn't really have a hip flask. I'm guessing he's a professional whip??

If so how about seeing when his holiday is, and booking a few days away, this will be in the summer, so also depends how long term you are?? Other than that good socks, boots etc that can be worn in kennels.

Yes as JumpinBeckeyJane says, he's a professional whip so can't really have hipflask when working, but I like the idea of the hunting print, his house is pretty plain so could benefit from a nice print. Also like the idea of the heated pocket inserts, they could be very useful, especially as we're due a cold winter.

Thanks for all of the suggestions.

How about one of those stock pins made from the hair of one of his favorite steeds? Quite smart and a little sentimental

Also some photos of him whipping and favourite hound would help brighten up the house, some hunts also do a hunt map which are very smart.

Also a pair of Sock Solutions socks, totally fab!!!

What about a really decent bottle of malt?

 

[Happy Hunter]

Oh yes - a map of his favorite spot?? http://atlas-and-i.com/product-category/bespoke-commissions/#sthash.b5N0E91k.dpbs

Thank you, you've all made some great suggestions and been so helpful. I'm thinking definitely a bottle of malt, some kind of picture of either his favourite hound or a map of the country and then some sort of thermal socks or pocket warmer things.

Thank you again!!!

The sock solution socks are pretty warm!! And not to think which is useful under boots
