Christmas Gift Guide for Pet Lovers

We’ve talked a lot in recent articles about the many Christmas goodies for pets that we have in our Santa's Grotto. From Christmas clothing for dogs to festive toys for cats, we have everything you could possibly need to make your cat’s or dog’s Christmas the best ever. But what about the pet loving humans in the family? Well we have plenty for them too! If you haven’t seen our beautiful range of homewares, then now is the time to take a look - you will find an array of stylish home accessories that will make brilliant gifts for pet owners. Here we present some of our favourite things that we think your animal loving family and friends might just love to open on Christmas morning.   Our Top Animal & Pet Themed Gifts for Animal Lovers Lords & Labradors Homewares Collection The L&L Homewares collection features five dog-breed-inspired prints across a range of different accessories including mugs, tote bags, tea towels and aprons. You can choose from Cuddlesome Cockapoos, Silly sausages, Fabulous Frenchies, Loveable Labradors and Perfect Pugs. If you know someone with one of these breeds, then they are sure to love this range. Treat them to one or two items or why not go all out and gift them the full range of five items in your chosen design. These aren’t just great for dog owners either, but for anyone who just has a thing about a particular breed of dog!   Animal Print Scatter Cushion Everyone loves a scatter cushion or two and now you can choose one with your favourite dog breed or animal on it. We have scatter cushions that are handmade here in our workshop, or a wonderful range by The Labrador Company. Our range features a number of different Sophie Allport designer fabrics, each one decorated with illustrations of animals including hares, stags and ducks. If you’re looking for a dog print cushion, then the range from The Labrador Company might be more your thing. There are three prints to choose from; Dachshund, Spaniel or Labrador, and three colours: black, blue or brown. The prints are oh-so-stylish too. Silhouettes of the respective breeds sit on a biscuit coloured background. A perfect Christmas gift idea for dog loving family members and friends.   Animal Themed Dining Chair Cushion Part of the Lords & Labradors homewares range, our sets of two dining chair cushions are designed in designer Sophie Allport fabrics. Choose from Highland Stag, Hare, Runner Duck and Labrador designs. Each one is trimmed in a luxury velvet and have two ties to secure your dining chair.   Dog Print Foot Stool Do you know someone who works hard and deserves to put their feet up at the end of the day? Why not gift them a beautiful footstool complete with a dog silhouette print? If you know someone with a Dachshund, Labrador or Spaniel (or someone who just loves those breeds!) then these footstools are a great gift idea.  They are beautifully made and furnished with solid wooden feet.   Room Fragrance A small, yet thoughtful gift. We have a variety of room fragrance options including candles, reed diffusers and room sprays. The Relax collection by Heaven Scent is a lovely gift idea. The products are made of premium-quality ingredients and come in eco conscious packaging. Who wouldn’t love the gift of tranquillity for Christmas?!  We also stock a range of candles by Wildwash. These are designed especially for pet owners and are formulated to help prevent pet odours and other smells. You can choose from candles in a tin or ones in a glass jar and there are three beautiful fragrances to choose from including a calming fragrance especially for nervous pets. ​ Animal Themed Mugs Everyone loves a nice mug and we have a brilliant range that feature all kinds of animals. There are dog print mugs from Sweet William so you can choose your relative or friend a gift with their favourite breed. Alternatively, the Sophie Allport range of mugs feature beautiful illustration designs of wild animals such as the Highland Stag or Hare.     Pet Themed Notebooks & Stationery Do you have a stationary addict friend or relative? We have some lovely notebooks by Fenella Smith that are ideal for dog lovers and owners. Fenella Smith’s designs feature adorable dog illustrations. Her notebooks would make a lovely Christmas present for anyone who likes to be able to jot notes or keep a journal or diary.   Animal Shaped Clocks These clocks by The Labrador Company are simply stunning. Each one comes in the shape of a different animal. Not only are there a range of different dog breeds to choose from such as Poodle, King Charles Spaniel and Dachshund, but there are a number of other animals to pick too; a sitting cat, a dressage rider, and a show jumper! So, if you have a pug owner in the family, a Labrador lover or know a horse rider, then there is a clock that would make the best gift for them. Each clock is a black silhouette version of the animal depicted and features a wagging tail. A classic design that will look great in a range of interiors from traditional to contemporary styles.   Dog Shaped Keyring Are you looking for a small token gift for a pet or animal lover? How about one of our dog shaped keyrings? We have keyrings in the shape of dogs by Sweet William and The Labrador Company.  Both collections are adorable and are sure to raise a smile on Christmas morning. We have keyrings in the shape of Pugs, Spaniels, Schnauzers, Labradors, French Bulldogs, Westies, Cockapoos, Dachshunds and Jack Russells. A lovely thoughtful present, these would make a great gift idea for a teacher this Christmas!   We hope our selection of gift ideas for pet lovers has inspired you.
