Top Gifts for Dog Lovers (That'll Actually Make Them Howl)

Both of the faces behind Laughing Sisters are dog-mad! Natalie has two tiny dogs: Poppy the ladylike Yorkie x Papillon and Lily the very naughty smooth-coat Chihuahua. Steph has Roman the crazy Vizsla x Weimaraner, so we know how much you love your canine companions, even when they’re driving you mad!

Dog owners receive the most cliched gifts of all. A little bit tacky can be funny, after all, dog-obsessed people generally embrace being dog-mad! BUT, if you’re looking for funny gifts for dog owners, you don’t want to give a predictably boring present. We’ve put together a list of dog-mum gifts that match the energy of the pets they love, whilst being witty, usable and unique! Laughing Sisters gift ideas don’t aim for polite smiles, we go for all-out howls of laughter. Plus, we are dog owners ourselves, so by supporting our small business, you’ll be keeping our beloved pups in toys and snacks, rather than putting in towards Jeff Bezos’ next yacht!

Quick Tips for Choosing a Great Gift for Dog Lovers

You’re here with Laughing Sisters so you know how important humour is in gift giving! Always try to pair hilarious with heartfelt, make it personal and thoughtful whilst keeping it uplifting. Aim for something they won’t already own (seriously, their dog-themed mug cupboard is full). If you want to go all out, why not include a hand-written note, or better yet, a note from the dog! We know it sounds mad, but they’ll love it!
