Fine-crafted Western leather articles make good gifts.
Whether your gift-giving is meant to broadcast your recent trip out West, to mark an anniversary of a honeymoon in the Western states or, simply, to reanimate a friend's childhood cowboy fantasies, you can choose from a large selection of Western leather gifts. And "Western" need not mean that the leather is rough, rugged or coarse. Most gifts are made with soft, supple leather, and many are works of art.
Accessories
A Western leather accessory might be what you are looking for--unless your friend or family member is a biker or into authentic Western apparel, and would rather get a gift of a leather jacket, chaps or even leather pants. Although belts, leather suspenders, handbags, wallets and purses are the traditional leather items, you can find a special accessory, such as a cell phone holder, a handbag with matching briefcase, a leather guest book or photo album and a Western day-planner.
Household accessories made of Western leather include leather pillows, leather furniture and lamps, together with a large assortment of Western leather decorations, from leather wall murals to leather sculptures. You need not worry if these accessories will fit into room styles and color schemes for they function as accents. As such, they stand on their own and can add interest to any room.

Unusual Gifts
If you are looking for an unusual Western leather gift, try a leather picture frame, a hand-tooled hall mirror framed in cowhide, mini cowhide coasters or even a leather-covered pitcher and glasses. These come in many styles, from oddly shaped coasters and pitchers to multi-textured mirror frames.
A conversation piece is a cowboy boot vase made with the tops of boots hugging a glass vase. You choose the style of cowboy boot and its color. Or try leather toilet seat covers, either made of cowhide or constructed of oak and hand-tooled leather with designs or animal brands of your choice. If your gift is for a child, you can choose a leather scrapbook with the child's favorite animal in mind, or even a child's director's chair or a handmade leather pillow.

Horse-Themed Gifts
For sons, daughters and spouses who are lucky enough to own their own horse, horse-themed Western leather gifts are the obvious gift-giving choice. If money is no obstacle, the prize gift would be a custom-built saddle.
Tack shops do sell brand-name saddles, and any one of these made of Western leather would make a welcome gift. However, since a saddle is a major investment, a custom-built saddle gives a horse the maximum in comfort, for it is built specifically for that particular horse.
Western saddlebags also might be a good gift, hand-tooled in the design you select.
Tack shop saddles can be found at horseworldwide.com. Custom-built saddles are available through horseloversheadquarters.com.
