Funny Christmas Gifts for Dog Lovers (Pug, Dachshund and Dinner-Table Dogs)
Dog people are easy to shop for in one way: they love their dog, and they like seeing it on things. The hard part is finding something funnier than a paw-print mug. The gifts below show dogs doing what dogs do around the holidays: squeezing into stockings, begging under the table and supervising the menorah.
All of these use the same retro illustrated style. They're printed to order, so give yourself time (order-by dates are at the bottom).
For pug lovers
A Christmas stocking with a pug squeezed into a striped stocking of its own: "Fits In The Stocking. Mostly." It has a red and black buffalo plaid cuff. It's a fun one to hang for the family dog, or to give to the pug owner who has everything.
The same pug on a round ceramic ornament with a gold hanging string. It's a small gift that comes back out every December.
The pug on an 11 oz ceramic mug. If you want a matching set, pair it with the stocking or the ornament.
The same pug on a Comfort Colors tee with a relaxed fit, for the pug owner who wants to wear the joke to the holiday party.
The pug on a crewneck sweatshirt, a warmer option for Christmas morning.
For the dog who works the dinner table
A dog peeking out from under a checkered tablecloth, waiting for someone to drop a piece of turkey. It's a Thanksgiving tee, printed on a Comfort Colors 1717 garment-dyed tee, for anyone whose dog never misses a family dinner. To wear it on Thanksgiving, order early (see below).
For dachshund lovers who celebrate Hanukkah
A dachshund next to a blue and silver menorah, with a simple "Happy Hanukkah." It's sweet rather than jokey, which makes it a safe pick for a relative or a teacher.
Picking the right gift
- Not sure of their size? The stocking, ornament and mug have no sizes to guess.
- Under $20: the pug ornament and the pug mug, before shipping.
- For the whole household: the stocking, hung up for the dog.
- Shirts and sweatshirts: Comfort Colors tees run close to true to size with a relaxed fit. Size up for a looser fit. The size picker on each product page shows every size.
When to order
Everything here is printed after you order it. That takes 2–7 business days, plus carrier shipping time. Order-by suggestions (not guarantees): about November 9 for Thanksgiving (Thursday, November 26), about November 16 for the first night of Hanukkah (Friday, December 4), and about December 7 for Christmas (Friday, December 25). Carriers get slower in December, so earlier is better.
