A pup-themed book


There’s no shortage of gift-worthy books for the dog lover who loves to read. Titles that would make excellent stocking stuffers include educational reads like The Forever Dog, illustrated guides like Doggie Language, heartwarming true stories like Finding Gobi, and fiction novels like A Dog’s Purpose



 

Shower steamers


Dog parenting isn’t always easy. Between making sure the furkiddo’s needs are met and handling other responsibilities, a pet parent can feel exhausted by the end of the day. Treat them to a home spa experience with shower steamers! A set of Cleverfy Shower Steamers contains six tablets with scents such as lavender, peppermint, and watermelon to melt the stress away.



 

Fur-baby fridge magnets


A refrigerator isn’t complete without magnets—not only are they good for posting shopping lists and reminders, but they also add personality to a common household appliance. Dog lovers will surely get a kick out of the toonish Pearhead Pet Dog Butt Magnets. Or for the ultimate cute factor, check out the Fox Run Sleeping Dog Refrigerator Magnets.



Pearhead Pet Paw Ink Pad

Paw print kits


Photos and videos of someone's furbaby are wonderful, but there’s something special about a unique keepsake. Any dog parent would be delighted to find a paw print kit in their stocking this Christmas. The Pearhead Pet Paw Print Clean-Touch Ink Pad lets them create an ink print of their pup’s paw without the mess, while the Pearhead Pet DIY Pawprints Ornament Kit captures paw prints in clay.

Custom dog portrait necklaces


For an extra thoughtful present, get your giftee a necklace with a portrait of their dog. You just need to send their pup’s photo to the seller, who will then engrave it onto a disc pendant. The MignonandMignon Personalized Pet Necklace is available in gold, silver, and rose gold. It also comes in a nice box so it’s ready for gifting!



Dog-themed tote bags

Tote bags


Help your pup loving friend show the world how much they adore dogs while they’re running errands with a dog-themed tote bag. There are a lot of cute designs out there, including Tribe Socks Personalized Dog Tote Bag. For the dog mom or dad who brings Fido with them everywhere, check out the black or white Mobile Dog Gear Dogssentials Tote Travel Bag for everything they need on the go.

Evercare and Scotch-Brite Lint Brushes

Lint brushes


All dog parents have to deal with dog hair, so they’ll appreciate getting a lint brush in their Christmas stocking. Unlike lint rollers, lint brushes last longer, don’t have to be refilled, and don’t leave a residue. Help the dog lover in your life get out of a hairy situation with the Evercare Magik Brush or Scotch-Brite Lint Brush!

Custom phone grips


Let your giftee show off their pup with an adorable custom phone grip that’s guaranteed to get them compliments wherever they go. The ColorfulPlaygroundCo Custom Pet Grip has received rave reviews from numerous pet parents for its good quality. Since this item is made to order, there is a two-week processing time, so be sure to order early!



Nail decals


For the dog mom who loves a good manicure as much as they love their pup, dog nail stickers make a furbulous fashion statement. Designs range from general paw prints to breed-specific styles. And if you want to make your giftee howl with laughter, you can even find decals of dogs doing their business!



Pet House Candles

Odor-eliminating candles


Dogs are pawsome, but they sure can stink up the house. Candles that are designed to eliminate pet odors should do the trick and get a house smelling great again. The Pet House Candle and Pet’s Favorite Hand-Poured Candle are non-toxic, pet-friendly, and have been vouched for by satisfied dog parents. Both brands also come in several soothing scents, including Caramel Latte, Vanilla Creme Brulee, Clean Laundry, and Forest Pine.
