G&G Staffers’ Fieldshop Holiday Wish List

Curated by David DiBenedetto
SVP & Editor in Chief, Garden & Gun

“Any day in the field is a good one. But it’s always more enjoyable when my gear has a story to tell—a story about being made with care and Southern craftsmanship. It’s quality you can feel in the heft and balance of a pocket knife or the perfect tone of a duck call.”

“Entertaining friends is one of life’s great joys and I find that when I have beautiful tools at my fingertips, the hosting is all the more easy. As the old adage goes, the right tool for the right job makes all the difference. For example, a beautifully crafted platter with hand-hewn serving ware can turn a salad into a showstopper.”

“There’s a reason the old adage, “Look good, feel good. Feel good, do good,” has stood the test of time. It makes sense. But that doesn’t mean you dress to the nines every day. It means being intentional about how you accessorize, be it with a bespoke bracelet or a stunning scarf. I like pieces that add an element of surprise and elevate a day.”

“Southerners have a deep love for storytelling, and I’m drawn to art that embodies that spirit—beautiful pieces with rich histories. Whether I’m curating my home collection or selecting gifts for friends, I always seek out items like these that carry a meaningful story.”

“Exploring the South isn’t just a big part of my job, it’s one of my favorite activities, and I spend a lot of the year on the road for G&G events. With all that time on the go, it’s good to have beautiful luggage for the journey. As for gifting, a great dopp kit or a watch case make lovely gifts as well. “

“Samuel Johnson famously said, “When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life.” That’s how I feel about cocktails (with wine and beer not far behind). The accoutrement and experience should sparkle, as though you’ve scored an invite to one of Nick and Nora’s glam Thin Man cocktail parties. I typically play bartender on friend getaways, too, so I especially love products that make toting bottles a cinch, or mixing up an old-fashioned or a mojito easy without having to haul a bunch of ingredients.”

“My favorite gifts to give and get are made with natural materials and hues, or just make exploring the outdoors a little easier. Pro shark tooth hunting tip: Ditch the polarized sunglasses, which block the fossils’ sheen, and wear a wide-brimmed hat instead. One of the beauties below would be perfect.”

“I remember learning early on that the right tools make all the difference in the kitchen—whether it’s a hand-forged knife or a beautiful cast iron skillet, they elevate the entire cooking experience. These gifts are the building blocks for great meals and memories.”

“I’ve always believed that the most alluring question in the English language is, ‘What book are you reading?’ To help people understand the power of this provocative sentence, I read all genres and am as happy diving into a Grisham thriller as I am poring over a collection of essays. Make the bibliophile in your life especially happy by giving them not only a new read but chic bookends to keep their (likely overflowing) collection in order.”

“I’m a huge homebody. I spend much of the time outside during the day—walking my dog, seeing what’s blooming in Hampton Park, puttering around the garden—but I recharge in the evening at home. My favorite place to host is around the couch with a comfy pillow, plush blanket, and a few bowls of snacks. I’m actually in the process of moving, so I’ve been looking for a lot of inspiration in books like Haskell Harris’s House Romantic and Bohemian Soul. I gravitate toward things that feel handmade and playful, and I love those cream and blue mugs and ceramics with those really pretty, purposeful brushstrokes. Plus, anything that brings the outdoors in, like a bird bingo or flower frog, makes me happy since it brings life and color to a cozy inside spot.”
