2017 Christmas Gift Guides - Stocking Fillers!

I think this is my favourite section in the gift guide series, there are so many lovely bits and bobs out there that would make brilliant gifts without breaking the bank, as they're all so affordable!

Here are our favourites!

1. Red Nosed Dachshund Garland from Tabby Rabbit - £7.00
This is so adorable I'm totally planning on ordering the rainbow version after Christmas so I can have it up all year round!

2. Dachshund Poop Bag holder from The Cosy Canine Company - £12.95*

3. Tartan x Denim Stars Bowtie from Boots & Bones - £6.00
Ellie at Boots & Bones has just started releasing bows that coordinate with her gorgeous collars, I absolutely love red tartan for the Christmas period, Lily & Sev wear the size small and they're brilliant, not too big or bulky for smaller dogs unlike some we've bought from other places.

4. Dachshund Through The Snow mug from Matalan - £2
Can't find a direct link to this online, but I bought mine in store, actually thats a lie, I bought 3! This makes the perfect gift especially as it's so cheap!

5. Smooth Haired Dachshund bauble from Devoted To Dachshunds - £15.95*

Every year I treat L&S to a festive tweed bowtie and this years' is my favourite by far! Such a gorgeous colour perfect for any occasion not just Christmas

7. Dachshund Luggage Tag from Devoted to Dachshunds - £3.00
I use a luggage tag on Sev's show crate to hold all my emergency info so obviously had to have a daxi one! I also picked up two more as they will make perfect presents for two of my dachshund mad friends!

8. Dachshund and Chill Pins from Duke Loves Fergie - £6.00*
These are just ridiculously adorable, and I actually think are far too cute to gift, so I totally plan on hoarding them all myself! Especially love the Custard Cream pin - so adorable!

9. Enamel Dog Decorations from Accessorize - £6.00
Couldn't pass these up to mention on here, they make the perfect small present for any daxi fan, especially love the Dach wearing reindeer antlers!

10. Sausage Dog Christmas socks from Accessorize - £3.50
Because who doesn't love socks at Christmas?! Especially when they have glittery dachshunds on them!

2017 Christmas Gift Guides - Festive Food & Treats

As always, I like to start my gift guides with our picks of this years' Festive food and treats, and this year there seems to be more options than ever!

Will start with our Advent Calendars, the two i've picked up this year are from Lily's Kitchen, we buy these every year, not only do the dogs love them but they are always so beautifully illustrated.

Another thing I picked up from Lily's Kitchen is their new Christmas Biscuit Collection, these are possibly the  most luxurious dog biscuits ever! The tin is beautifully illustrated (I will definitely be hoarding it! This would make the ultimate gift for any friend with a dog; so, so lovely!

And as always I bought the gang a packet of the Lily's Kitchen Cracker treats each, these are a Christmas staple in our house!

Another firm festive favourite is the Pooch and Mutt Christmas Dinner Dog treats, another must have in our house at Christmas!

A new addition to our Christmas treat hoard this year is from Forthglade and are their new Grain Free Christmas treats, I always try and buy grain free for our gang so was super pleased to find these!

And now onto our Festive food picks! Always like to treat the dogs to a special dinner on Christmas day and this year there seems to be so many options!
Firstly we have another purchase from Forthglade, this time being their Turkey, Cranberry & Parsnip grain free tray; Ava loves the Forthglade Turkey trays so i'm sure she'll love this!

I also picked a couple of bits from Wainwrights, both items are Grain Free too, Ava has tried the wet trays before and liked them to I bought the Turkey with Cranberry and Sage tin and the Duck with Parsnip and Thyme tray.

And lastly we picked up another of our festive essentials from Lily's Kitchen, the Three Bird Feast for Dogs.

And lastly we have our Raw pick! This year Benyfit have brought out a Turkey Christmas dinner complete! Super excited about this because Lily and Sev are raw fed and it means they won't miss out! 

 So, will you be treating your dogs to any Christmas treats this year?
Look out for our second instalment which will be up soon!
