2. Personalized Glassware, Clothing, Blankets, and More
I don’t know a single dog parent who wouldn’t be thrilled to receive a cute hat or mug with their dogs name and face on it. Etsy, Shutterfly, and Chewy are great places to personalize household and clothing items with pictures, drawings and names of pets! These gifts are reasonably priced and sure to bring joy to any pet parents Christmas morning.

8. Cuddle Clone
Cuddle Clone creates custom stuffed animals that are identical to your furry friend. The price is high, but the attention to detail and high quality materials used make them worth it. These are also incredible gifts for people who recently had a dog cross the rainbow bridge.
The Furbo dog camera has been popular for years, and for good reason. With so many people raising puppies during the pandemic, leaving them home alone now that the world has reopened can be scary. The Furbo dog camera allows you to keep an eye on your dog when you aren’t home, toss them treats, and even talk to them to put both of your minds at ease.
10. Automatic Feeder
An automatic dog food feeder is great for people who work late and worry about being home to feed their dog on time. The Pawple automatic feeder allows you to store up to 20 cups of kibble and program the exact amount of food to feed and precise mealtimes.

Know someone who’s a fan of wall art? What better portrait to hang on your wall than one of your pet? Custom pet portraits are a great holiday gift for any pet parent in your life.
13. Tattoo
Treat your friend or family member to a tattoo in honor of their furry friend this holiday season. Purchase a gift certificate from a local tattoo artist and allow them to choose the artwork themselves. This is an awesome gift idea that they will truly have forever.
14. Travel Bag
If you know someone who loves traveling with their dog, a doggy travel bag is a great gift. This bag has plenty of storage options for food, toys, and other supplies that will be needed when traveling with your dog. Even better if you can get it personalized!
Dog owners know the struggle of the fur, everywhere. The Bissel Pet Hair Eraser vacuum does a fantastic job of picking up dog hair in the carpet, on hardwood, and even on furniture. If you know a pet parent who is in the market for a new vacuum, this is the perfect gift idea.
