We all have that friend who is absolutely obsessed with their dog (or perhaps you are that dog-obsessed friend, in which case, welcome to the club!). Dog lovers are truly a different breed, so finding the perfect gift for them or their pup can be difficult—after all, they probably already have the basic things they need like a crate, food, leash, and more.

That said, finding pet-related gifts they *actually* want to display in their home can be tricky, since most dog-related gifts are usually garish or ugly (sorry, but someone had to say it). The good news? We’ve scoured the internet to find the best gifts for dog lovers and their pups. From a DIY dog treat maker and custom stockings to a chic carrier and coffee for a cause, we’ve got you covered. Here, we’ve rounded up the best holiday gifts for dog lovers and their four-legged friends.
