But what if you’d rather make your own?
If you fancy something a bit more DIY, then simply get a cardboard box or wicker hamper, lots of shredded paper, and fill with a selection of dog-friendly delights. Here’s some ideas of what to pop in.
Toys:
Make sure when getting a toy for your own or a friend’s dog that it’s suitable. So that means making sure the size matches the dog, and that it’s safe! Especially with puppies, be sure to not get them anything too tough that could damage their teeth. Choosing the right toy can be challenging so why not check out which type of toy is best for your dog?
You can also make your own toy which fur sure will be appreciated by your pawsome pal. Like our DIY Denim Dog Toy, which can give your pooch hours of supervised fun.
Treats:
Adding some tasty treats to a Christmas hamper is always a good idea. If the pooch has any diet or skin issues though be sure to avoid getting them treats that could make them poorly. Also, make sure they are suitable for the age and size of your doggo. Or alternatively you can make treats yourself! Check out our recipes for Gingerbread Bone Treats and Doggy Candy Canes.
Blankets:
Does your pooch love a cosy snuggle? Then they might love a new blanket for the cold winter evenings. With so many designs, colours and styles available, your pup will be stylish and comfortable.
And if you have a bit more space in your hamper, and some spare comfy fabric, then why not give our DIY, no-sew dog bed a go.
Grooming:
A new brush or shampoo can be a lovely addition to any hamper. Just make sure that both suit the pooch you’re purchasing for, as some dogs have more sensitive skin or coats that need a specific type of brush.
So, if you’re looking for a Christmas gift for the top dog in your life, then a Christmas hamper might be the way to go. Whether you want to go for ready-made or DIY, your pooch pal is sure to love their festive treats.
