Buying Gifts for Dog Lovers - Christmas Guide
For some people dogs are not just pets, they are members of the family, perhaps even their spoilt children. The bond a person has with their dog can be just as strong as they have with another human being. In fact, dogs do not talk back, they give great hugs and they are always happy to see you, so there is a lot of love and it is natural for a large portion of their world to revolve around their dog.
If your friend or family member has a lot of affection for their dog then you are probably already used to hair everywhere and drool on your lap. That is just a dogs way of showing you how much they love you...or how much they would love a bit of your digestive biscuit!
There are two types of gifts for dog lovers. Something that captures their bond with their furry friend, or something functional that will enhance the life they enjoy with their furry friend.
Here are 10 ideas that they might just love!
Perfect for hanging up those waterproof coats, dog leads, harnesses and collars. We have a section in our house that is basically the dog corner. The addition of different dog breeds ads a lovely quality to an already stylish and rustic coat rack. There are so many bits and bobs one acquires as a dog owner and this is a great place to store many of them.
This four hook coat rack is a funny variation of the storage gift. I don’t know any dog lover that wouldn’t find this amusing and practical at the same time!
There are lots of necessary items that dog owners require. Storing food is one of those essentials and people approach it in different ways. Lesser and Pavey have developed a really aesthetically pleasing range of tins for dog food storage and this one come complete with a serving spoon to measuring out dinner time is a breeze. It is a functional gift but it has a lovely style to it and it is one of those areas you are unlikely to splash out in when there is food, treats, poo bags and more essential items racking up the bills!
Whether your friend owns Jack Russels, Staffies, Cocker Spaniels, or Labradors this is a lovely pressie. It is a nod to their dog and is also an artistic and homely feel set of mugs. The ideal companion to an autumnal brew.
One step further than a pressie for you mate who owns dogs is a gift for the doggies themselves. This combines both in the perfect pressie. Perhaps, you walk your dogs with your friends or just know that an endless supply of treats is rule 101 for dog ownership. This tin filled with their favourite treats makes a deliciously thoughtful Christmas gift.
Evans Lichfield do a great range of cushions featuring numerous breeds. The imagery is sharp and the cushions are made to the finest quality. Whether you want to add a little furry festivity to their home or give them a gift of their favourite breed to keep their sofa company all year round, these make excellent quality gifts.
Burgon & Ball do a mug in ‘The Rabble’ range that matches their treat tin. A lovely, fun design, that makes an ideal gift. If you have a dog owner friend or family member, the chances are they like a hot drink after a ramble with the dogs through the woods in the winter.
The final item in ‘the Rabble’ range from Burgon and Ball. It makes a great gift on its own or in combination with the others. Brightly coloured coasters with a great design capturing the fun and batty name of human kinds best friend. A set of 4 lovely coasters with an anti-scratch cork backing.
A truly thoughtful gift for any dog lovers who enjoy long muddy walks outdoors in all weathers. This bootjack will allow them to return and brush off their boots and then remove them without any fuss. We all make do with banging our boots, balancing on dry areas, and discarding the boots at the back door...but what if there was another way?
Our collection would not be complete without a little Wrendale. This dog treats tin comes with its own scoop so you could fill it full of bones or fat-free tidbits. You could also put in wrapped treats for human and hound so it doubles up as a pressie for both. Wrendale items are always well received and they are guaranteed to be good quality.
Hopefully your friend or family member will be thrilled that you have got them something that panders to their biggest love. We have lots of other dog items in store so feel free to browse our quirky range for inspiration.
