You can tell a lot about a person by the gift they give their dog
It’s Christmas morning. The lights are twinkling, the presents are stacked, and if you’re anything like us — your dog’s gift is front and centre, wrapped in festive paper with a handwritten tag that reads “To the goodest boy.”
But what if your dog’s Christmas gift says just as much about you as it does about them?
Whether you're all about practicality or go all-out with bows and baubles, we’ve matched the most common dog gift-giving styles with the personalities behind them — and included a few fitting ideas along the way.
1. The Practical Dog Christmas Gifter
You’re organised, thoughtful, and your dog’s life is a well-oiled machine. You’ve always got spare poo bags, your treat cupboard is alphabetised, and you buy gifts that are actually useful.
You tend to go for gifts that solve problems, last long, and serve a purpose — like calming dog beds, natural chews or durable toys.
2. The Dog Christmas Gift Spoiler
You’ve had your dog’s gifts sorted since November and probably bought more for them than anyone else. You love wrapping, bows, handwritten tags — the whole lot. Their tail starts wagging before they even sniff what’s inside.
You tend to go for big festive boxes filled with toys and treats, ideally already gift-ready and full of variety like our dog Christmas boxes.
3. The All-Natural Christmas Dog Mum (or Dad)
You read ingredient lists. You care about what goes into your dog’s bowl. You’re not into gimmicks — just clean, honest, natural goodness that supports your dog’s wellbeing.
You tend to go for single-ingredient treats, grain-free snacks, and sustainably sourced chews like our all natural Christmas dog treat bundle.
4. The Dog Christmas Cake Devotee
You don’t just celebrate your dog’s birthday — you throw full-blown parties. You’ve iced a dog cake, taken photos with hats, and probably have a dog-friendly baking mix or two on standby.
You tend to go for anything festive and baked. Dog cakes, iced woofins, and pup-friendly cupcakes are your go-to so checkout our Dog Christmas Treats collection
5. The Christmas Pawparazzi
Your dog’s Christmas look was planned back in October. You’ve got matching pyjamas, festive props, and maybe even a custom ornament with their face on it. Your camera roll is 95% dog.
You tend to go for personalised gifts, colour-coordinated accessories and photo-worthy surprises, head over to our full Christmas gifts for dogs collection.
6. The Last-Minute Legend
You had every intention of being organised this year… and then life happened. Now it’s a few days before Christmas and you’re looking for something fast but thoughtful.
You tend to go for ready-made gift bundles or anything you can wrap quickly that still looks like it took some planning.
So… which one are you?
Maybe you’re a mix of two. Maybe you’ve been all of them over the years. However you gift, one thing’s for sure — your dog is lucky to have you.
And while they may not understand Christmas the way we do, they definitely understand the love behind every chew, squeak and snack.
