If you’re looking for Christmas gifts for the person in your life who loves everything dog, here are some items we stumbled across while Christmas shopping:
1. Puppy Calendar
You can choose a calendar based on your favourite breed, or introduce a new breed every month. If you want your shopping dollars to go to a good cause while you’re at it, consider buying a calendar from a rescue shelter or humane society, such as the BCSPCA Calendar
2. Dog Lover Playing Cards or Jigsaw puzzle
If you know someone who wants to decompress with a few games over the holidays, a new deck of cards is the perfect gift. Double the fun with a set of dog or cat lover cards; it’ll be impossible to lose no matter which cards are in your hand during the game. If cards aren’t your game, a puzzle is a great snowy day activity for a group, and who wouldn’t want to see the cute finished product?
3. Dog Lover Bowls or Mugs
Even if you’re not a morning person, it will be hard not to smile when you’re eating cereal from a big bowl with dogs on the side. Not into cereal? Morning coffee will taste much better when you’re drinking it from a mug with your favourite breed. Or take the mug to work; drinking coffee throughout the day in a mug that reminds you of your pet is the next best thing to being with your pet all day.
4. Yarn for the Dog Loving Knitter
Help your dog person make something special for their pet by getting them set up with pet-perfect chunky yarn and knitting needles. Whether their dog is the sweater wearing type or prefers to rest on a plush rug, this gift combines a fun hobby with a passion for pets.
5. Puppy Treats
Let’s face it; if you have a friend who loves their pet, then getting a gift for the pet will likely be appreciated just as much as anything you could give your friend for themselves. Interactive toys that the person can use to play along with their pet would fit the bill, as would chew toys that will give the pet-person some quiet time while pup is focused on their chewy activity.
