Do you struggle to know what to get your father/brother/boyfriend/husband for Christmas? I feel your pain. Speaking personally, my father and both my brothers shoot, which means that if I have no inspiration at all, I can always fall back on this. Lots of sporting brands have excellent products outside of shooting equipment, if that all seems a bit daunting, and we've collected a few of our favourites together here, with a good mix of shooting accessories and clothing from countryside brands.
Countryside Christmas Gifts for Men
The Trafalgar - ankle boots from Fairfax & Favor - £235
Fairfax and Favor have a reputation for making high-quality footware that bridges the gap between town and country, and these stylish brown leather ankle boots are a great example. They're smart enough for city life when paired with jeans or some chinos, but the water resistant membrane and rendered-rubber commando sole mean that they'll serve just as well for a Boxing Day stroll in the countryside.
AimCam Pro 2 - glasses-mounted action camera - from £200
The AimCam Pro 2 combines the best features of an action camera with the best features of shooting glasses. A Sony micro camera mounted on the frame of the glasses captures perfect video and can be mounted over either eye, allowing the wearer to record line-of-sight video. As well as helping the user to create fun, exciting video footage, it can be useful in working out why those pheasants keep flying on. The accompanying app even allows you to livestream the video to your smartphone. The glasses have interchangable high-impact lenses for protection from stray particles and UV rays.
Pajala Shirt - checked flannel shirt from Härkila - £74.99
Every shooting man likes a flannel shirt - they're warm, soft and comfortable, and look great in the shooting field and down the pub. This 100% cotten brushed flannel version from Scandinavian outdoors outfitters Härkila improves on the classic flannel shirt with micro-suede reinforced collars, elbows and cuffs, for added durability and protection from the elements. We think it looks great too!
Leather shooting gloves from Cordings - £95
Made in England, these shooting gloves are perfect for a day on the peg. Lined in silk for warmth and comfort, the traditional turn back detail on the index finger means you can keep them on and still shoot with aplomb. They are available in green or brown. GunsOnPegs users can enjoy a 15% discount across the collections using the code GOP15 at checkout online.*

Komodo Pro - bullet proof sunglasses for shooting and fishing - £185
Are these the best ever sporting sunglasses? The solar powered sensor in the frame reacts to the light conditions and reduces glare, making them ideal for shooting and fishing plus a host of other sports. No more fiddling with different lenses required. They can also be adapted for those who need prescription glasses. Oh yeah, and they're bullet proof.
