More Great Information on Supplies Tacks:
Handmade Christmas Gifts Your Family Will Love by David Barnes
There are many types of gifts to give for Christmas to your family, but the greatest gift you can give is one that you have made yourself. It is a gift that will be cherished for years to come because you loved them enough to give the gift of your talents and time. Even if your not the most creative, or already have a developed hobby that you can do easily, you can still make a handmade gift if you start early enough to learn how to do it. Children can make wonderful crafts that anyone will love in the family. There is no limit on the different types of gifts you can make, and knowing the different choices are easy once you know how to theme it.
Anyone in the family that loves the comfy soft side of rest and relation will find useful gifts of the material type. Handmade pillows and quilts make great and useful gifts. If they love themed subjects, such as lighthouses, dogs, food or even steam engines, you can embroider or cross stitch interesting designs onto pillows for the couch or bed. Quilts can be a real heirloom because they can be any patch work design, or tailored to fit the interest of a family member. Young girls can put away a quilt for the hope chest with a wedding ring or flower design for their future home or apartment. Younger children whether boy or girl can be immediately enthralled with a homemade train set or wooden blocks. Little girls love to play house and a handy mom or dad might want to consider buying a precut dollhouse and assembling it before Christmas day. Later the girl in your life might love to go along with you to the hobby store to theme her home with the furniture and other necessities, such as curtains and little people.
Other types of gifts for the different family members need to include parents and grandparents. Depending on the age of the children they can make some sure fire popular gifts that will please mom. Dad can help a child by providing guidance and the supplies on a themed gift for mom and vice versa. A mom can certainly use any of the pampered gifts that a child could make. For example, a gift basket of mom's favorite interests would be appropriate, such as candles and scented gift sachets for her clothing drawers, or even a collection of wrapped flavored coffees would make her smile too. A lot of moms like new recipes hand written or typed, and a child can paint and decorate a lovely recipe box that will make a busy mom very happy. Dads also appreciate hand made gifts, and mom and child can theme a gift for them too around their work or hobbies. Creating a personalized book on the computer for a dad that likes sports such as golf is a real keepsake for dad. Ideas and patterns can be used for dad to have his own homemade wooden jewelry chest from the child he loves. Wooden engraving sets can be found at hobby or discount stores such as K Mart. Lovingly engraving their initials or a pattern of their profession makes a nice gift to give from a child.
Grandparents are some of the easiest family members to make a gift for at Christmas time. If they live away they certainly appreciate any gift that they can display to show off, but even close by grand parents still cherish those gifts too. A family collaboration on homemade gifts can be items such as photo frames engraved and a new picture tucked inside, or children can make grand parents jewelry with craft products. Lovely pieces made with beads for grandmothers necklace or bracelet, and for a grand father handmade tie tacks, cuff links, or lapel pin will make him feel very dressed up for the holidays or anytime. Grand parents always love it when a scrap book is made by grand children, and they never get tired of admiring it either.
What ever gift you decide to make for your loved ones this Christmas season you will not go wrong in making it, even if there are a few blips when it is finished. The holidays are a time for giving the gift of love, and also for making a lot of precious memories and keepsakes that will be passed down from one generation to the next. Take the time to make a new tradition of giving hand made gifts not only this Christmas but for the years to come - you won't regret it.

Tack cleaning supplies?
I recently got my own horse back in February of this year, and I got my tack for her in march. I haven't cleaned my saddle or bridle since I got them, but I know I should have been... I didn't really notice anything too worn out about my saddle or bridle until today, when I was changing my bit. I've been around horses and riding my entire life but I must admit I know nothing about cleaning tack.
I'm sure I would be able to get something at a normal horse supplies/tack store, but I don't know what to look for. Also, can you use just a sponge or washcloth or would it come with a special cloth?
I feel stupid for asking this because I feel like I should know, but don't.. lol
Ah yes, the saddle is just an All Purpose english saddle, in case that makes a difference.
Thanks in advance 
LOL don't feel stupid. I was like that when I got my first horse and it wasn't that long ago. Prior to that I'd never really owned my own tack, and although I had helped clean tack and stuff I had to go through this whole learning process too.
Here's what I found I needed, really.
Leather Cleaner
Leather Conditioner
A pack of wash cloths (my favourite are terry cloth "bar cloths" which you can buy 12 in a pack for $4)
A sponge
An old toothbrush
A small bucket for water
A sponge or washcloth left at the barn for every-day cleaning of the bit -- also good for washing out horse noses. Another cloth for occasional light cleaning and conditioning of leather (like if we got rained on).
For a real proper cleaning, a sponge or cloth for the leather cleaner and a quart-sized bucket for water. I sometimes need to use an old soft toothbrush to get into the crevices like where the D-rings sit on our english saddles. I like to use Lexol Leather Cleaner, but we also have some fancy Passier brand leather cleaner that came with a saddle. They work the same, as far as I can tell. I use the same cloth, after rinsing it really good, to then apply conditioner. Again, Lexol Conditioner. Then a new, clean, dry cloth for wiping the excess conditioner off and "buffing" everything up. I had to use a separate cloth for silver cleaner for our western silver.
If you're doing it at home, make sure to protect your stuff by laying down an old towel or something. Some leather (especially the less expensive stuff) will leach dye when being cleaned.
