The best stocking stuffers for a cowboy are small, practical and built to be used. Nothing here needs batteries or an explanation.
For the pocket
A simple folding knife is the stocking stuffer that never goes out of style. The Opinel No. 08 has a beechwood handle and a carbon steel blade.
A Zippo in brushed chrome is windproof and refillable, and it lights a campfire on a breezy night.
Weatherproof notebooks hold cattle counts, fence notes and lists that have to survive a wet shirt pocket.
For the boots
Good boots deserve care. A leather conditioner and cleaner works on boots, bags and tack.
A set of horsehair brushes and daubers cleans and buffs them before a night out.
For cold mornings
A rib-knit watch cap is the standard for early chores.
And a dozen cotton paisley bandanas means one for every stocking, with a few left for the truck.
