Which of these dog mom gifts do you think would make her holiday extra special? Let me know your favourite in the comments!
Hi, I’m Jenny, the owner and content creator of First Time Dog Mom. As the proud owner of Ellie, my senior Golden Retriever, I share the insights and tips I’ve learned through my own experiences as a dog mom. With a lifelong love of animals, I hope to be a helpful resource for others navigating the joys and challenges of pet parenthood.
These are some great gift ideas, especially since we’ve entered the fourth quarter of 2022 with all the holidays coming up. My parents aren’t dog owners, but they sure are dog lovers. I often see them spending hours every day on their phones looking at dogs. The Thoughts of Dog Calendar and stainless steel mug would probably be my pick for my parents. Have you given gifts on this list to people you know? How were their reactions?
Hi Kevin,
I have given the Thoughts of Dog Calendar to my Mom as well as a co-worker, last Christmas. They both loved the gift. I plan on giving it again this year, and I may even purchase one for myself. I love page-a-day calendars, and Thoughts of Dog is a pretty cute and funny one. I think your parents will definitely like it as well.
Take care,
Jenny.
These gifts are perfect for those ladies out there who are dog lovers. These would be perfect for a coworker or friend when you want to get them something that is meaningful but not overly emotional. Who could ever dislike a gift that represents the love they have for their pet? I particularly think that the socks would be a funny and witty gift to give a lady at my work.
Hi AL,
I agree, for any dog parent or dog lover, getting them a gift that represents the love they have for their dog is always a great idea. The socks are a great choice, they’re funny, cute and practical!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Jenny.
Great post. It is so hard these days to figure out holiday gifts for people. If you know someone has a pet then that is a great angle to take. I like how you added a lot of options. Is there a suggestion that you like the most? What do you find people generally get excited about?
Hi Jamie,
It really depends on the person you are shopping for, however, all of the suggestions listed here can work for any dog mom. The travel mug is always useful, and I really like the Willow Tree figurine, because it has a sentimental thought behind it.
Thanks for stopping by.
Jenny.
We are a family of dog lovers and have a very inquisitive and friendly pug. With Christmas just around the corner, this is a great list of suggestions for this pug loving family. I agree it’s important to offer a gift of something that is practical but also fun! The suggestions you have offered here are terrific. The Beanie hat in particular looks ideal for my partner. But the “How Dog Moms Tell Time” is ideal for us! We are huge coffee and red wine drinkers (well not that much wine, but regularly!). Thank you for that BRILLIANT suggestion!
Hi Trevor,
I am so glad you enjoyed this list of Christmas gifts. I’m sure your partner will enjoy the beanie hat, and the wine and coffee rack is funny but very practical.
Thanks for stopping by, and happy shopping.
Jenny.
