Homemade gift baskets for the dog lovers in your life show your friends and family that you care about them and their canine buddy.
We dog lovers are a special breed, aren’t we? Pardon the pun ~ I can’t resist. We love to dress up our dogs, give them toys, and collect wonderful items about our delightful pups!
I know because I do too! I have several dogs myself! It’s so much fun to give them toys and treats! My hubby tells me I treat them like people and spoil them like kids. I say no, they already think they’re people, I don’t want to tell them they’re not!
I love giving the dog lovers I know specially themed gifts too, because I know how they feel about their Precious Pups! Want to get in on the act? It’s FUN! I’ll show you!
What Can We Use As a Gift Basket?
While a basket would work great for a dog lover’s gift basket, use your imagination and use a unique container for doggie gifts. Consider the size of the gifts (and the dog) and see if any of these tips will work. Can you think of more?
- Unique dog dishes & feeding bowls
- A dog carrier, stuffed with your pre-wrapped gifts
- A tote bag, printed in a dog theme; or with a printed picture of the dog lover’s pooch, filled with your pre-wrapped gifts
- A small or medium dog bed would look so cute with all your pre-wrapped gifts on top; especially dressed up with a large pull bow!

Doggie Party Favors Are Cute Gifts
Having a party for your pup? Why not fix up some Puppy Dog Party Favors as shown here, for your invited pets…er, guests…or both!
The doggy party favors could include a tennis ball or rawhide chew toy, some doggy snacks and/or a collar, etc.
The dog lover’s favors could include cookies, candy and perhaps a dog-themed gift like a key ring or small photo frame to show off a photo of their dog at the party.

Don’t Forget The Dog Toys!
Dogs love toys and dog lovers love to watch their dogs play with toys. How do I know? My dog Toby had three toy boxes. He seriously loves his toys too. Now if only I had taught him to pick UP his toys when he’s done playing with them! Be sure to pick up a couple of toys for the doggy recipient for lots of smiles from both the dog lover and their dog!

Dog Beds Make Great Dog or Dog Lover Gift Baskets
Dog beds are fun to work with for gift ‘baskets’ for a dog and/or a dog lover. For example, include the usual suspects – dog treats, dog toys, a collar and/or leash, a doggy t-shirt or booties and maybe some grooming supplies like nice dog shampoo and a brush and/or doggie toothpaste and a toothbrush.
THEN, include a dog lover mug, dog lover pillow, a dog movie or two, a dog book or two, a dog blanket, a dog lover t-shirt, etc. The special dog lover in your life will adore you for your thoughtfulness!
