Gifts For Dog Moms

April 17, 2020

For many women, the dream of motherhood looks a little different than what you’d find on an average parenting website: instead of baby cribs and onesies, some women imagine their babies a little furrier – and ideally with four legs. And then there are moms with the boundless energy needed to parent both human and canine babies at the same time.

Fortunately, there are plenty of lovely and thoughtful gifts out there for dog moms, whether you’re buying a thoughtful gift for someone who also has a human child, or an inexpensive “thinking of you” gift for your dog-obsessed friend. Sea Bags makes nearly all their products out of recycled sails, giving their products a casual but upscale feel. And while many women will appreciate the clean styling and usefulness of a simple, durable tote, pet moms especially will love a Sea Bags tote embroidered with a custom appliqué of their dog. Pre-designed totes are available of a few popular dog breeds, like black labs, Bernese mountain dogs, and golden retrievers, but designers can create a one-of-a-kind appliquéd tote using colors and cuts personalized to her dog. Rope handles give all the totes a semi-nautical feel, and you can add in an interior pocket or top clasp (recommended for moms whose dogs may be anxious to check if there are any treats in the bag.) Turn-around time can take up to three weeks, so order as early as possible. Pajamas make a great gift under normal circumstances, but they’re especially relevant in the current climate as many people are finding they can wear pajamas for the better part of the day. Fortunately, there’s no reason her pup can’t relax in comfort, too, thanks to matching doggy pajamas sets from Lazy One. You can buy matching loungewear for just Mom and her furbaby, or get the whole family in on it with matching sleep pants, shirts, onesies, and slippers for everyone else in the home in a variety of woodsy patterns. Doggy pajamas come in sizing for dogs with backs up to 25 inches long from neck to tail, but bandanas are also available for dogs who don’t fit standard sizing (or who don’t need an extra layer of warmth.) If she doesn’t have photos of her dog plastered around the house, you can bet she at least has a phone or Google Drive folder full of years worth of adorable dog photos. Fortunately, it’s easy to turn her favorite dog photos into printed canvases for hanging at home. For dog moms who love color and modernity, consider buying a pet portrait from Canvas Pop. It has an easy-to-use online interface so you can immediately see what your canvas will look like, though you can request changes if it doesn’t look quite like what you imagined. Dog moms with a sense of humor will almost certainly love seeing their dogs as kings, duchesses, astronauts, and more with a Renaissance-style portrait from Crown & Paw. There are dozens of designs available, so it’s easy to find one that fits any dog’s personality.  The engraved pet necklaces from Etsy seller Mignon and Mignon are simple and elegant – and perfect for dog moms, since they include an etching of her pup. They come in one of three finishes and are tasteful enough for everyday wear. Buyers order via Etsy, then email the seller a photo of the dog’s face. L.A.-based Mignon and Mignon will etch the pup’s adorable mug on the small pendants, which measure about 3/4 of an inch wide. Creating and shipping the necklaces only takes a few days, so if you’re aiming to receive it by Mother’s Day, you should have plenty of time so long as you order before May 3rd (but rush shipping is available.) You can add additional pets (or people) on to necklaces for moms with more than one pooch. If she’s a dog mom and a coffee drinker, make her a custom pet coffee mug from Gossby. One side has your choice of short phrases (“World’s Best Dog Mom” and “Fur Mama” are options) and the other side shows dogs and their owners, personalized to the recipient. You can customize the number of people and dogs, plus dog and human features like hair color, tail length, clothing and more. Hundreds of different combinations are available, including multiple color combos for each breed. Mugs are dishwasher and microwave safe.
