Hello December. Loving my phone box Advent Calendar!
It’s that time of year when gifting is on our mind. Just thought we would share some of our favourite things as Christmas gifts or stocking stuffer suggestions. They are all dog related but not just for dogs – but also for humans who love dogs!
Something you WANT – Something you NEED – Something to WEAR – Something to READ (Want or Need is very subjective, depending on who you ask!)
Pu-La’s pet food and water bowls are inspired by nature and reimagined for the modern home. They have been designed to be an accompaniment to human dinnerware and glassware. Beautifully hand-blown, this makes each of them completely unique and offers a refined alternative to your typical pet bowl.
They come in two styles (clear and opaque) and three sizes (small, medium and large).
Is this a WANT or NEED?
DogsDogsCatsDogs‘s Teenies or anything, actually. Alice’s teeny tiny, watercolour portraits are 7x7cm in size – they come mounted & framed in a lovely, teeny, black frame, or sit them on a miniature easel. They’re available to order through her online shop.
This is a WANT!
Raven Imagery (Dog Photographer) – Creative dog photographer based in London, offering private commission across the UK and beyond. Andrew captures the most special moments.
We have our own favourites, of course.
And it isn’t just for Christmas, it would be a treasured gift for any dog lover.
You can also have the photos in an album keepsake. I wished I knew Andrew back when Darcy was a pup. I would have created a Puppy Album.
This is definitely a WANT!
Wondercoat‘s QUALITY. STYLE. FUNCTION. Wondercoat specialise in performance harnesses and coats for small dogs.
To celebrate this festive season they have released a limited edition metallic gold version of their classic harness with solid brass hardware. The perfect Christmas gift for any small dog, not just for sausage dogs.
Both Darcy and George wore them.
Made to order on request. £80. Matching lead and poo bag holder also available by special order.
This is both a WANT, NEED and WEAR!
We love dressing up at Christmas and a fancy bowtie always makes it festive. Our favourites from The Distinguished Dog Company come in resplendent velvets and sequins in red or gold and of course, there’s always a tartan.

Dogviar – What is Christmas without treats? Caviar dog treats for the most discerning canine. For when you’re tucking in caviar, pooch will have their Dog-viar.
A complementary pet food for puppies and dogs made with Pure Sturgeon Caviar Oil. Each 40g tin contains minimum 100 treats FREE FROM ARTIFICIAL COLOURS, FLAVOURS AND PRESERVATIVES. Contains 4% pure sturgeon Caviar Oil, 96% complete pet food.
Defo a WANT! Fab stocking stuffer, don’t you think? And while at it, they also supply human caviar! LOL! Mum wants some of those!
W’izs healthy, low calorie and plant-based selection of goodies for dogs! These colourful small tins have got to be perfect stocking fillers!!!
Another WANT!!!
Anya Hindmarch’s Dog Poo Bag Charm – This adorable, handy poo bag charm is designed to hold your doggy essentials so you don’t have to. The charm can be clipped onto a coat or bag for ease of access. Insert your own poo bags from the base of the dog.
It comes in Regenerated ECONYL® in Black, Taupe and Green. H: 9cm, W: 14cm, D: 6cm
Ah-ha! This is both a WANT and NEED! Also check out their other doggy accessories!
Now there is something EVERY dog owner will NEED. In fact, what the Earth NEEDS.
Project Harmless dog poo bags are made from a water-reactive, non-toxic and microplastics free material. As we all know, plastics has been highlighted as one of the biggest problems our environment faces. And as a dog owner living in the city, we see dog poo bins filled to the rim with poo bags.
This will be one of the most useful gift for any dog owner could ever have, while we all do our bit to save the planet.
And for Christmas there’s a seasonal poop bag holder.
Something for us to think about … a definite NEED!
And last but not least …
Go Plaay’s Darcy Dog! The luxury makers have a collection of wooden toys that make fabulous nursery keepsakes or a mantelpiece ornament. But this one has got to be for dog lovers! Measuring just H10cm W4cm L10cm with soft touch tail and ears – she sits nicely in the palm of your hand or nestled in small hands or a warm pocket. This way Darcy continues her life adventures.
Crafted with love and in memory of Miss Darcy. And may her adventures continue with you.
We hope you get what you wish for this Christmas. But we also hope you’ll enjoy giving something special to those you love this time of year.
