If you had asked me a few years if I was a dog lover, I would have said “no way!” However, since having had Liberty the Labrador for over three years now, I am obsessed. I love dogs. I love my dog, I love dogs that I see in the street, I adore the dog videos on social media and I can honestly say that I am one hundred per cent a dog lover. And that does change your whole perspective on life, I can tell you. Even on the gifts you receive. So with December fast approaching, I thought this was the perfect time to put together a gift guide for the dog lovers in your life.
Personalised Dog Book – Where’s Your Dog
This would be a great present for the kids big or small in your life. A personalised book based on the ‘Where’s Wally’ theme but instead of finding a person, you are looking for your dog. It takes minutes to personalise and there are over 300 dog breeds to choose from. You choose the breed and colour and add the name and you create an online book which will give the recipient lots of fun trying to find their dog.
You can create these amazing books on Yappy which is the home of a huge range of personalised items for you and your dog. The Where’s My Dog books cost from £24.99 plus postage.
A Dozen Dapper Chocolate Dogs
I know that our hungry hounds can’t eat chocolate but their owners definitely can and need a boost after all those long walks. So, how about A Dozen Dapper Chocolate Dogs. I discovered these gems from Hotel Chocolat recently when I was looking for a gift for our dog walker. Apparently, they taste as good as they look.
These are from Hotel Chocolat priced £8.50.
Dog Art
If you are looking for something a little bit different, Mr&MrsPaw is the perfect place to find an arty gift for dog lovers. You can take any photo of a dog and upload it to create a piece of artwork depicting the dog in a variety of different costumes from a character from Star Wars or Harry Potter to a doctor or a prince.
This is a genius idea and something that dog lovers can cherish and will make them smile every time they look at it. With a range of gift ideas, you can choose to create a canvas, phone cases, mugs or throw pillow, there is something for every budget and you can have lots of fun creating it too.
Doormats
Every dog owner needs a decent doormat with all of those wintery walks they have to do. Kadomino have a brilliant range of personalised doormats that would be the perfect welcome for any dog owner. You can personalise with the number, breed and name of dog and the result is a super cute doormat which is practical as well as looks great. They are usually £49.95 but at time of posting they are on sale at £34.95.
3D Photo Engraved Block
Every dog owner loves photos of their dogs, so why not turn one of those photos into a 3D Engraved Photo Block. This not only looks amazing but it is a perfect way to display precious photos. From DforDog.com, this is one of many gift ideas that would be perfect for dog lovers. The 3D Photo Engraved Block costs £30.
