Personalized Dog Gifts
Everyone loves something personalized, but if something is personalized with his or her dog’s photo, it’s even better! Seriously, some of the best personalized dog gifts contain the gift receiver’s dog’s photo. You can pretty much count on tears of emotion and joy as she unwraps her present.
Plus, with the availability of photos on social media, it’s super easy to find the right photo. Just lift your dog-loving friend’s dog photo off Facebook, Twitter or wherever and print on a pillow, shirt, mug, blanket, Christmas ornament, smartphone case or tote bag. If you really want to create a huge impact, choose 12 different dog photos to create a personalized dog calendar!
Best places to create personalized gifts for dog lovers:
- Zazzle
- Café Press
Hint: For large projects, such as blankets, pillows, phone cases and mugs, increase photo pixels in Photoshop. If you don’t have access, ask a Photoshop software friend to edit photos for you. Oh, and this friend must keep it a secret too!
Donations
Every dollar counts, and this is the perfect time to donate to your dog lover’s favorite animal charity. While it’s tempting to donate to large organizations, small local rescue groups are in desperate need for funds too. Take a moment and investigate your friend’s social media feed. You’ll likely notice likes, shares and retweets from local animal rescues. You could also ask for recommendations from someone close to your dog-loving friend.
