Looking for a gift for someone who spends all their spare time honing their shooting skills, riding horses or just romping about the sublime Suffolk and Cambs’ countryside head-to-toe in tweed? Say hello to Muddy Footprints, a Suffolk-based biz run by Yasmin, who cleverly turns unwanted used cartridges and pheasant feathers into the most beautiful bespoke gifts as well as stocking country clothing, rural-themed homewares and dog and horse gifts on her website and Etsy shop.

From coasters and clocks to personalised pictures and even shot glasses, you’ll be amazed at how beautiful used cartridges and feathers can be when they’re turned into gorgeous gifts and homewares. Plus, with the chance to personalise many of the items you’ll not find gifts like these anywhere else. In fact, we loved these unique countryside gifts so much we included Muddy Footprints’ coasters and keyrings in our goody bags for our Muddy Award winners 2024 and they went down a storm.

There’s also a huge range of gorgeous Wrendale products on the Muddy Footprints site – cute animal-adorned oven gloves and tea towels that would look perfect hanging on an Aga – as well as funny signs, stag bottle openers and cool cartridge-shaped flasks. When it comes to clothing you can deck out your wardrobe ready for riding or shooting season with gilets, jodhpurs, quilted jackets and checked shirts.

So, if you want to bring out the big guns this Christmas or birthday for a shooting fan, horsey type or tweed enthusiast hop on over to the Muddy Footprints website or look out for Yasmin at local country fairs and bag a unique gift that they’ll love.
