The Clock Lady Custom Clocks: This happens to be a favorite of mine and I would love to have a clock that features Oscar instead of traditional numbers. This is because when someone would ask me the time, I could say that it’s half past Oscar! These custom clocks are designed from a photograph and are available in three sizes: 12″, 16″ and 20″. This has to be one of the most unique dog lover gifts out there! Prices vary depend on clock size. ( The Clock Lady)

They contain essential oils that happen to be a natural odor absorber – they just don’t mask the smell. You can use them around pet beds, couches and other places your pets like to hang out. They’re safe to use and have a multitude of uses. I use mine in my linen closet, and a friend sprinkled it onto the carpet before vacuuming it up. Each sachet sells for $2, so be sure to stock up!

NameThatCookie Cutter: I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I’m really getting the hang of making homemade dog treats. As such, I’m always on the lookout for cool new cookie cutters. And when I happened upon NameThatCookie on Etsy, I knew I had to have them! Available in a range of dog breeds and shapes, these handmade cookie cutters are personalized and made with a heavy duty ABS material. You’ll need to wash them by hand to keep them looking and working awesomely, but it’ll be worth it. Prices vary, but the dachshund featured here retails for $16.40 for one cookie cutter.

Toadbriar Iconic Dog Prints: Etsy has a whack of awesomeness, especially when it comes to gifts for dog lovers. Artist Kim Parkhurst takes pooches and dons them as a series of iconic characters. The two I’ve featured here are “A Hound Insane – Bowie Greyhound” and “Whippet Good.” But Kim also has a series of dog and cat prints inspired by the TV show “Downton Abbey” – only hers are titled “Houndton Tabby.” It’ll be hard to choose just one – you may have to order the whole set. Prints start at about $24 – not too shabby for really cool prints. ( Toadbriar)
