Homemade Dog Gifts
Make homemade dog gifts any time of year!
Do you have a dog loving friend or family member who considers that nothing is too good for the furry friends in their life?
Come and review our ideas and instructions for creating simple and inexpensive gifts to make them and their pooches happy!
Go green by using recyclable containers and items that would otherwise be thrown away!
GIFT BASKETS
Baskets abound in thrift shops. For a very low price, you can find practically any type of basket to match the items you want to put in it.
The first thing you will need to do is consider the occasion. Are you offering a present for a pooch's birthday?
See here for specific dog birthday gift basket ideas.
Are you wanting to give a present to a dog lover? You could put together dog treat gift baskets containing delicious baked treats that you have either made yourself or bought from a gourmet canine bakery.
Of course, you are not limited to treats. Anything that will fit in the basket can be placed in there, as shown by the dog sweater and yarn basket above!
Instead of a basket, take an old cookie, fruitcake or nut tin and stuff it full of yummy doggie treats as seen in the photo at left.
For some extra touches:- Print out pages with instructions from this website or another online source, or hand write them.
- Decorate the basket or tin with ribbons and other notions, wrapping paper, drawings, paints, feathers - you name it.
PERSONALIZED GIFTS
One thing that many people enjoy is receiving a present that they have not seen in a store or at a craft fair and would not be able to buy.
For instance, a very simple way to create a custom gift is to add the name of that special dog to an item that you have made, or else to touch up a store bought item.
Folks who adore their dog(s) may appreciate receiving homemade dog gifts in the form of bows, sweaters, dog socks or leg warmers and really any dog item you can make yourself where it is easy to add the dog's name.
If you enjoy working with wood or metal, you could get fancier and create a dog house, a crate or dog box, some tailor-made doggie stairs or a ramp. These would truly be gifts that keep on giving!
