The holiday season is upon us, and you may soon find yourself searching for just the perfect gift to give a loved one. Read on to find our top 10 gifts to consider for those who managed to stay off the naughty list!
1. GatorZ Eyewear
GatorZ Eyewear is for anyone with an adventurous spirit. Made here in the U.S., they feature an easily adjustable aluminum frame and nosepiece for a customized fit—simply follow the included directions on how to adjust, and they’ll go on like Cinderella's slipper. The frame thins just around the temple area, making them comfortable to wear under muffs or a ballcap all day without causing a headache. Choose from a wide array of frame styles; the two most popular are the Magnums, or my personal favorite Wraptor frames (pictured). Further customize your specs with an array of assorted color variations and lens options including mirrored, polarized, ballistic rated or a mix of all three! (gatorz.com)
2. 5.11 Louise Shirt Jacket
Each passing day brings us cooler temperatures, but in many places it’s not quite cool enough to break out the heavy winter coat. The Louise Shirt Jacket is the perfect median between a light spring jacket and a heavy down parka. A brushed cotton exterior is complemented by a super-soft and cozy Sherpa lining. Slits on either side of the bottom of the jacket provide extra ventilation should you find yourself getting a tad too warm. A conveniently placed front pocket is ideal for your phone, driver's license or any other small accessory you want to keep close. The cuffs of the sleeves feature a snap closure, allowing easy access to roll them up if needed. These same snap closures can be found down the front of the jacket as well, especially handy if you happen to be wearing gloves. (511tactical.com)
3. Hornady Treklite Lock Box XXL
The Treklite Lock Box XXL was born for air travel—built with not one, but two TSA-approved locks. We have all seen how luggage gets tossed around, so this 12.2" x 10.1" x 3.3" case is constructed from tough-as-nails polycarbonate material with a rubber overmold. Large enough to fit two full-size pistols or a PPK alongside your passport and stack of cash for when you want to channel your inner James Bond, this lockbox awaits your next adventure at home or abroad.

4. Versacarry Multitool OWB Holster
Short on pocket space? Holsters aren’t just for guns anymore with Versacarry’s Multitool OWB Holster. This holster, made from the same fine bison leather as many of the holsters this company offers, slides right onto any 1.5" wide belt. Helping to keep your EDC gear organized and easily accessible, this holster has three slots to accommodate your flashlight, multitool and pen. Your multitool is kept secure with a retention strap similar to the one used in the Trooper OWB holster, while the light pouch can accept lights with a 1" diameter. Upgrade options are available should you wish to add the Versacarry light and pen combo to your order. (Versacarry.com)
5. Taurus GX4XL
The GX4XL from Taurus is a striker-fired 9mm, featuring a thoughtfully crafted ergonomic polymer grip. The stainless-steel frame insert sits snugly inside its polymer exterior; atop the frame, you will find a nitride-coated carbon steel slide. The GX4XL is available in two different options: the standard configuration for those of us who favor irons; or for those who have hopped on the optics bandwagon, there is the T.O.R.O. (Taurus Optic Ready Option) variant. When purchasing the GX4XL you can choose from receiving either an 11- and 13-round magazine, or for more restrictive states there is also the option to order the GX4XL with two 10-round magazines.

6. Bushnell CelluCORE 20 Solar Trail Camera
The CelluCORE 20 Solar Trail Camera boasts crystal-clear 20 MP images. It has a detachable solar panel so it can better retain battery. By ensuring the solar panel gets between 4-6 hours of sun a day, you should have a full charge ready to snap up to 70+ images each day. The Dual-Sim setup allows the camera to automatically connect to AT&T or Verizon, whichever carrier has the strongest signal in your location. This trail cam is also equipped with top-of-the-line infrared LEDs allowing you to catch footage of anything that goes bump in the night. (bushnell.com)
7. Remington Bucket O’ Bullets

Whether you're just old enough to start shooting or you have been shooting for decades, there is always something magical about unwrapping a bucket of around 1,400 rounds of .22 just begging to be slung downrange with your favorite plinker.

8. Caldwell E-Max Shadows
These electronic earplugs are rechargeable and have Bluetooth capability, allowing you to link them to your phone and take a phone call without having to remove them and sacrifice your hearing. These earbuds ship with multiple-sized tips, allowing you to get a proper fit and optimal decibel reduction. Additionally, these are great to wear not only at the range but at other loud events such as concerts, air shows, monster truck rallies and more! (Caldwellshooting.com)
9. Birchwood Casey Sharpshooter Stand and Target Kit
Perfect for grabbing on the way out the door for an impromptu range trip, this combo from Birchwood Casey contains everything you need for a fun day on the range. The target stand itself consists of a metal frame, similar to those you see during election season, along with a corrugated plastic backer. Also included are a wide array of Shoot-N-C targets, ranging from IPSC-style silhouettes and standard bullseyes, to targets geared towards zeroing in your gun and pasters to mark your shots. We suggest buying one to use, and another to keep in the trunk of your car just in case you get to the range and find yourself in need of a target setup. (birchwoodcasey.com)
10. ThermaSeat D-Wedge Supreme Compact
Popular amongst turkey hunters and anyone looking for comfort on the go, the D-Wedge provides a comfortable place to rest and lean back upon. Convenient carry straps allow you to toss it over your shoulders for hands-free transport as you stalk wild game or watch your child’s soccer game. The cushions on the compact D-Wedge are between 2-4” thick and measure approximately 15" x 14". If you would prefer a slightly larger cushion, the D-Wedge Supreme Full-size cushion measures slightly larger at approximately 18" x 17".
