Christmas gifts for dog lovers they’ll actually use

Personalized gifts (the ones that get the biggest reaction)

1. A custom mug with their dog’s photo

   Their dog’s face, front and center, every single morning. Upload a favorite photo and we print it on a ceramic mug for $28 USD with free US shipping. It’s the easy win for a dog mom, dog dad, coworker or Secret Santa. Make one here.

2. A photo ornament of the dog

   A tiny portrait for the tree. Especially sweet for a first Christmas with a new puppy or rescue.

3. A custom pet portrait

   Illustrated, painted or watercolor portraits make a great splurge. Order early, since hand-drawn portraits can take a few weeks.

4. A photo calendar of the year’s best dog moments

   Pull twelve favorite shots from their social media and they’ll smile every month.

Cozy and practical gifts

1. A washable, dog-friendly throw blanket

   Because the dog is on the couch whether anyone likes it or not.

2. A hands-free leash or a good treat pouch

   Walk upgrades every dog owner appreciates. Choose one with a phone pocket and poop-bag dispenser.

3. A lint roller set or pet-hair vacuum attachment

   Not glamorous, but every dog parent will use it daily.

4. A pet camera with a treat tosser

   For the dog lover who checks on their pup from work six times a day.

Gifts the dog will love too

1. A puzzle feeder or snuffle mat

   Mental exercise for the dog, a calmer evening for the human.

2. A homemade dog-treat baking kit

   Pair a bone-shaped cookie cutter with a simple recipe. Many dog treats use cooked egg; see can dogs eat eggs?

3. A matching holiday bandana for dog and owner

   Perfect for the Christmas card photo.

Meaningful gifts

1. A donation to a local shelter in their dog’s name

   Add a handwritten card. It’s a great fit for the person who has everything.

2. A memorial keepsake for someone who lost a dog this year

   The holidays can be hard after a loss. A photo mug or framed print of their dog shows you remember. Our Rainbow Bridge poem guide has gentle words for a card.
