If you’re a procrastinator like me, there’s a good chance you still have some Christmas shopping to finish up.
While some people like to give you a list of what they want, others are simply just harder to shop for. I’m going to give you the perfect guide on what to get someone who loves country music, or just has good taste.
Trucker Hats
Now men wearing hats have always been a thing, but it became trendy for women the last couple of years. Just about anyone of any age would love a hat.
Lucky for you, the Whiskey Riff Shop has several hats to choose from. Some of my favorites will always be the “More Fiddle” or “More Steel” sayings, but the newest one at the top of the list is the “Make Country Songs Sad Again”
Two Step Inn
If you have a country music fan or a dedicated concertgoer in your life, concert tickets are an easy choice. With countless tours and festivals already announced—and undoubtedly more on the way—one that really caught my eye is the Two Step Inn festival in Georgetown, Texas. I attended this festival last year, and while it felt like a typical music festival overall, this year’s lineup has me seriously considering another trip to Texas.
Vinyl
I consider myself a bit of a vinyl connoisseur. About 75% of my collection is made up of thrifted country music classics, while the other 25% consists of new albums that truly deserve the spotlight. I usually try to buy records directly from the artist, but when their stock sells out, I turn to other sources.
Recently, I came across a site called The Sound of Vinyl, and they seem to have an impressive selection of country music albums.
Ammunition Whiskey
As long as the person receiving your gifts is 21+, then they’re sure to love Ammunition Whiskey. Online they have three different whiskey variations and two wines. I have all the whiskeys and personally I think that the Ammunition Straight Bourbon Whiskey is the star.
They just announced Kelly Reilly also known as Beth Dutton in Yellowstone as their spokesperson so I’m looking forward to seeing what is to come from them.

Field and Stream Magazine
One of my favorite headlines from 2024 was “Field & Stream Magazine Returns To Print For The First Time In Four Years After Being Bought By Eric Church & Morgan Wallen.” There is something about print over digital copies of just about anything, and if you’re familiar with Field and Stream then this remains even more true. These are the perfect coffee table book to display as these are sure to be collectible in the future.
Tecovas Boots
In my view, Tecovas makes some of the sleekest-looking boots for both men and women. These aren’t what I’d classify as work boots—they’re the kind of high-quality, stylish boots you wear for a night out. Plus, they won’t break the bank. And no, they’re not on this list just because western fashion happens to be trendy right now. Tecovas is a timeless brand with excellent craftsmanship that anyone can appreciate. I know I will not be receiving them this year, but I would die for a pair.
*Pro tip: If you visit a store in person, then you can get your new boots branded there as well.
