Stocking Stuffers for Dog Lovers

Christmas stockings are a favorite holiday item for dog lovers. Why? It’s the one time a year when we get to slide our hands into something that isn’t a poop bag, a time when we can pick up a gift left by Saint Nick and not our Saint Bernard. 

Do you have a dog lover on your list, but aren’t sure what to get them this holiday season? We’ve rounded up some gift ideas that are fun, practical, and affordable, with most under $20. Check out these 12 stocking stuffers for people who love dogs!

Ran out of dog treats? Missed a grooming appointment? Everybody forgets things once in a while. Help busy dog moms and dog dads remember everything with a memo pad like the Eccolo World Traveler Dog Lover's Pad. Ideal for use at home or on the go, this pad has 100 sheets with adorable dog illustrations.

Socks make great stocking stuffers! They’re useful and they come in wacky designs. Brighten your giftee’s day with a set of cute dog socks like the Jeasona Multicolored Dog Socks. These vibrant crew socks come in packs of five, with each pair featuring a different breed. It would be hard for anyone not to smile once they have these on!

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. 

Dog parenting isn’t always easy. Between making sure the furkiddo’s needs are met and handling other responsibilities, a dog 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.

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 the 3-D Simply Sophisticated Dog Butt Refrigerator Magnets. Or for the ultimate cute factor, check out the Fox Run Sleeping Dog Refrigerator Magnets.

Photos and videos of one’s furbaby are wonderful, but there’s something special about a tangible 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.

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!

Let your giftee show the world how much they love dogs while they’re grocery shopping or 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. 

All dog parents need 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 your giftee get out of a hairy situation with the Evercare Magik Brush or Scotch-Brite Lint Brush.

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!

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!

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.

Let your favorite dog lover express their deep love for their furry friend with these pawsomely unique and fun stocking stuffers! For more gift ideas for the animal enthusiast in your life, check out Best Gift Ideas for Dog Lovers and Unique Gift Ideas for Animal Lovers.
