What to Get Your Dog for Christmas

To many, their dog is their most valued and important member of their family. However, as much as we may love our puppers, buying gifts for them can be quite difficult. Especially if your dog is like mine and does not like playing with toys! Here are a few ideas for gifts you can buy your pupper!

What to Get Your Dog for Christmas

In This Article:

We don't deserve dogs and they certainly deserve the world. Here are a few ideas of things you can get your dog to show your appreciation and love to them!

A new outfit 

Sometimes my dog forgets how to walk when we put clothes on him, but he very much appreciates his sweaters in the winter. He's a wee little 12 pounds, so he needs all the warmth he can get when going on his walks in the snow!


Recently, I found a red UGG sweater for my dog that was super discounted and I paid about $15 for it! The dog pictured above is not my pupper, but he or she is totally rocking their groovy Hawaiian shirt!

A new toy

My dog refuses to play with toys. If you throw a ball to him or around him, he gives you a very hard glare and it almost says "I hope you plan to pick that up because I sure as heck ain't getting it."

From my experience working in an animal hospital, and working as a dogsitter for various families, I have found that it is best to stay away from soft toys that can be chewed up and eaten. These toys are very hazardous as eating the material is not good for your dog!

I prefer to buy sturdy toys like tennis balls, bones and things that will not be easily destroyed. If you are looking for a subscription box to buy for your pupper, I really like Bark Box because they specifically supply toys that are on the sturdier side to prevent any accidental snacks.

A new blanket or bed

As much as your pupper may love sharing your bed with you, it is important for them to have their own special place. Additionally, my dog loves snuggling up under a blanket, so this Christmas I'm getting him a new special fuzzy blanket just for him to snuggle under this winter to stay warm and cozy. Only the best for a King!

Special treats or a new collar

I recently bought my dog a collar that has a bow tie on it and I have to say it breaks my heart every single time he wears it because it's just so cute!

If you want to get a new collar for your pup I definitely recommend a bow tie and then if you have any weddings or family parties, your pup can look nice and fancy too!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
