We asked women in the outdoor retail industry to give us Christmas present ideas for the outdoor woman. After all, they are in the industry to provide and market gear and apparel made for women and designed to be used by women, as well as for men (in some cases). Also, we wanted to know what they had on their personal Christmas lists, just in case Santa got around to reading this instructive article.
If you were to pick 2 stocking stuffers for the outdoor/shooting woman, what would you choose from your lineup and why?

If you were to pick 2 stocking stuffers for the outdoor woman, what would you choose from your lineup and why?
The Equalizer Kitty Key Fob is my first choice. It comes in 4 pretty colors and and attaches to your key ring so you will never leave home without it. When walking to my car, I can slip my fingers into the eyeholes and have the pointy ears ready, giving me an extra feeling of security. MSRP: $7
My second choice is eye protection. I love the Pink Cougar frames (MSRP $14)because they are so lightweight you hardly notice they are on. For daily wear, I love my Wiley-X Lacey sunglasses (MSRP $95). They look fantastic and I love that I can wear them on and off the range.

And what about you? What do you want from Santa this year?
I want the gift of time — to spend with my family and also to get to the shooting range!!!
If you were to pick 2 stocking stuffers for the outdoor/shooting woman, what would you choose from your lineup and why?
One of the things that I use most as an outdoorswoman is my lens cleaner. It seems like whenever I go anywhere my safety glasses get dirty, so I always clean them when I put them on and again when I put them away. I recommend buying 2 so you can keep 1 in your bag and 1 clipped to your belt when you’re on the range shooting or out in the field hunting. MSRP: $10
OK, what should EVERY outdoor/shooting woman have that she can find at your online shop?
Every gun girl should have a holster for her concealed carry gun. No matter if you are at the grocery store, or on the hunt, you should have your concealed carry gun with you. The Comp-Tac FLATLINE makes a great holster for a woman because it comes with 3 sets of clips — 1 for IWB carry, 1 for OWB carry and offset clips for better fit. Holsters are like shoes — you should have 1 for every outfit! MSRP: $75
And the big one … what would be a really NICE gift from Santa to that extra good outdoorsy/gun loving woman? From your lineup, of course?
If you have a very special woman who has been extra good this year, you should set her up with a complete competition/concealed carry kit, which a The International, Twin Mag Pouch, and Kydex Reinforced Contour Belt – all for just $191.50! Your shooter will have everything she will need for competition, plinking at the range or to carry all her gear while on the hunt.
Do you offer gift certificates?
Yes! Comp-Tac offers gift certificates from $25 to $200.

And what about you? What do you want from Santa this year?
I would love a Browning Citori shotgun. I don’t have anything good for bird hunting or shooting trap and skeet, so I would love to add this gun to my collection.
If you were to pick 2 stocking stuffers for the outdoor woman, what would you choose from your lineup and why?
Our Girls with Guns iPhone 4 & 5 cases, because what better way to show that you’re a GWG than with an accessory that you carry with you everywhere?? MSRP: $24.99
Our Girls with Guns Headband 6-pack, because they are slim (perfect for a stocking stuffer) and they add just a little GWG flair to any outfit. Plus, they’re great for keeping your hair out of your face during a hunt or a day on the range! MRSP: $14.99
OK, what should EVERY outdoor woman have that she can find at your online shop?

What every GWG wants for Christmas … a brand new hunting rifle, equipped with a scope and accessorized for a true GWG!
If you were to pick 2 stocking stuffers for the outdoor woman, what would you choose from your lineup and why?
Shock Eater Recoil Pad – it’s a new product I am very excited about! It’s a proprietary technology that is more effective than other pads or gels at absorbing energy and dispersing recoil. It won’t affect length of pull and will fit into most manufacturers’ shooting vests or shirt pockets. MSRP: $27.95
GunGoddess shooting glasses – this is a 4-lens kit with a decorated frame (pink zebra, teal zebra, purple zebra and tan leopard) that includes a matching hard-shell case and microfiber pouch. ANSI 87.1 rated lenses in amber, clear, smoke or yellow to suit different lighting conditions, adjustable arms adapt to a broad range of facial sizes and a frame design that allows air flow to prevent fogging! MSRP: $39.95
OK, what should EVERY outdoor woman have that she can find at your online shop?
Haley Vines padded shooting shirt – available in olive green or true timber pattern. My favorite shooting shirt! It’s super soft and comfy, moisture-wicking, magnetic pocket on sleeve, thumb hole at cuff line & padded right shoulder and pocket for additional recoil insert (the Shock Eater fits perfectly). MSRP: $50
And the big one … what would be a really NICE gift from Santa to that extra good outdoorsy type of woman? From your lineup, of course?
From The Gun Collection by Natalie Foster
Jewelry, of course! So much to choose from, these pieces look so elegant and they always attract attention! A sterling silver or gold-plated shotgun, AR-15, AK-47, handgun or revolver created by Natalie Foster, of Girls Guide to Guns. MSRP: $89
Do you offer gift certificates?
Yes, certificates are available in a number of design themes, can be purchased for any amount, can include a personal message and they are emailed instantly to any email address the buyer enters. They can be printed out and given as a gift, or they can be emailed directly to the recipient. They are transferable, and will never expire!
When’s your last shopping day?
For domestic ground shipments, December 17 will be the safest cut-off. After that, we’d need to use an expedited ship method. We can ship on December 23 and still get it there the next day. But buyers run the risk of not finding what they want, because inventory will be depleted. So I suggest trying to get the shopping done earlier in the month, when lots of inventory is available, and without spending an arm and a leg on shipping!

And what about you? What do you want from Santa this year?
Santa actually came early for me this year! I just got a brand new Beretta 1301 semi-auto shotgun and a Colt Competition rifle! Just had a chance to shoot them for the first time and I am in love! So, I think I am done 🙂 … but if Santa could swing it, a few more hours in the day would be awesome!
