THOUGHTFUL AND UNIQUE IDEAS THAT WILL MAKE SHOPPING EASY
Do you have someone special on your gift list that loves dogs? Finding the best gifts for dog lovers can be a bit overwhelming, there are so many products out there it’s hard to know where to start!
This week I sorted through the piles of websites and gift ideas to find thoughtful and unique gift ideas that will bring joy to your dog-loving friend. Take a look below and find the perfect gift that matches your friend’s personality!
HOW TO FIND THE BEST GIFTS FOR DOG LOVERS
Before you start looking at gift ideas, you want to spend some time thinking about your dog-loving friend’s likes, dislikes, and preferences. Here is a great list of questions to help you narrow down which of the many gifts for dog lovers your friend will like the most:
- What dog breed do they like?
- Are they a “big dog” person or a “small dog” person?
- Do they spend time outside with their dog?
- What kind of clothing do they commonly wear? (this is important – your fashionably-dressed friend probably won’t be too excited to get dog t-shirt, right?)
- Is their dog a puppy? A senior?
- What are your friend’s interests? (Hiking? Drinking Coffee? Traveling?)
- Are they involved in dog rescue or do they enjoy philanthropic work?
You want to find gifts that match your friend’s personality.
The best-case scenario is when you look at a gift idea and you just know it’s the perfect gift. As I said in my article about The Best Gifts for Dogs, trust your gut response to different gift ideas. If you aren’t sure if your friend will like it, there is a good chance it will be a waste of money.
Take a look below to see some thoughtful and unique gifts for dog owners that will make your shopping a breeze!
