Aside
from the rustic and wild days out shooting, the vigorous repairs or the
ferrying around of some seriously high end shotguns LGS is secretly a bit of an
Aladdin's cave for the country squire. It is often easy to overlook an
accessory when it comes to shooting; there is such focus on the gun, the game,
what you’ll need to wear or the type of cartridges you’ll need. But hidden within our cartridge treasure trove are
some excellent stocking fillers...
We
have a lovely selection of hip flasks: on a brisk winter’s afternoon as the
dappled sunlight melts last night’s frost and the icy wind prickles its way
through thick tweeds, a spot of homebrewed sloe gin whilst out on the go is the
perfect winter warmer. Pair this with some jolly and jazzy House of Cheviot socks
to lift everyone’s spirits and an Alan Paine pheasant tie and one couldn’t be
more fitted to the country life. Spaniels basking by crackling fires and the
delicate aroma of mince pies warming in the AGA also spring to mind.
We
also have many other chic and unique gift ideas such as cufflinks, letter openers and bottle
openers along with a vast array of shooting accessories. This is the perfect time of year to stock up and adorn oneself with glorified goodies and as Marc Jacobs once said: “Any
opportunity to adorn oneself is human, and accessories are an easy way to do
it”!
