Holiday Gift Guide 2025

As we head into the festive season, I wanted to share something a little special — a Gift Guide that shines a light on some of my favourite local and independent businesses.

These are wonderful small brands and makers who not only create thoughtful gifts for dogs and dog lovers, but also offer beautiful products and services that make everyday life that bit brighter.

Whether you’re looking to spoil your dog, treat a friend, or simply support your local community, I hope this guide gives you some inspiration.

Supporting local means giving twice, once to your loved one, and once to the small business owner who puts their heart into what they do.

*Please check last order dates on each websites to make sure you get them in time for Christmas!
