Christmas Gift Guide By Dog Lovers for Dog Lovers

No effort is too small when it comes to helping out the community. This ideology is one we have always stood by, and one that is important now more than ever.

Over the last few months, small businesses have been hit the hardest. They’re not out of the woods yet, and the road ahead set to be challenging. So this Christmas we’re suppawting our small, independent businesses.

We’ve been working closely with dog owners to pull together a few of the items at the top of our own wish list. They are sure to bring a great big woofing smile at Christmas.

Cartoon Pet Portrait

Light up someone’s Christmas with a custom watercolour pet portrait from estubbingsillustration. Perfect for capturing the essence of any pet, from dogs and cats to rabbits and reptiles, on lush 300gsm watercolour paper. Select your pet count and size, then send over reference photos—making sure to showcase those unique markings and poses! Fancy a name banner? Just ask. A heartwarming, personalised gift that’s bound to fetch smiles!

ALL dog lovers will be able to relate to this quirky coaster from ArrowGiftCoLtd! Have more than one dog to account for? No problem customise ‘dog’ to ‘dogs’ in your basket.

Dog Mama Pom Pom Beanie

The fabulous Etsy shop, WoodysWardrobeUK, crafts stunning collars and leads, alongside a delightful array of items for dog parents, including hats, jumpers, and hoodies! We’re totally smitten with their beanie – it’s just the ticket for keeping cosy on those brisk dog walks.

Personalised Pet Photo Playing Cards

The seasonal period is a great time to sit down to a game of cards. If it’s got your dog’s face on it, then there’s no better deck to play with! We love a cosy game of cards and would be delighted with some of these!

Double-Sided Personalised Dog ID Tag

We love a hand-stamped dog tag, especially when they can sprinkle a sense of our dog’s personality. These ones from Waggy Pooch are adorable. They create dog and cat tags, handmade dog collars and leashes with the active dog in mind. All products are even tried and tested by their own 4 dogs and cats. Made by dog-lovers for dog-lovers!

There are so many things to take with you while exploring with your pup. This gorgeous bag is completely personalised to match your beautiful dog! If you cant see a version of your dog breed on the pre-made list, there is a drop down option to select a bespoke colour or drawing of your pooch.
