1. A "Sorry, I can't. I have plans with my dog" T-shirt for dog owners who are tired of explaining that they can't go out because they have to go home and snuggle their pup. I mean, c'mon, people!!!

2. A 360-degree rotating Furbo dog camera so they can keep an eye on their cutie pie when they're not home with them. This camera has treat-tossing abilities, which might be a huge help if their dog is feeling anxious and needs some interaction until their long-awaited return.
Promising review: "Furbo is a lifesaver! My pup used to bark when I was at work, driving my neighbors [wild]. But now, I get barking alerts and can talk to and calm down my dog with treats. It has made her really happy and I'm glad the neighbors don't have to deal with her barking anymore. No more noise complaints! I got the annual subscription because I knew we would like all the notifications and I knew we were going to need it. Really happy with this purchase!" —Alina

3. Some doggy cake mix to help them celebrate the day their baby was born and spoil them rotten — even if they handpicked the day because they're a rescue.
Promising review: "This was a huge hit since both of our chocolate Labs LIVE for peanut butter. Instead of the yogurt icing, I melted some actual peanut butter in the microwave and used that as icing instead. Chuckie could barely wait for it to bake!" —aim1030

Totally Bamboo is a family-owned biz in San Marcos, California.

5. A dog sling carrier for pet parents who refuse to go anywhere without their fur child. Now they don't have to leave their best buddy behind when going on adventures! They can simply pop 'em in the sling and be on their way.
I purchased this dog sling carrier in 2020 when I was preparing for a cross-country move with my older pup. The adjustable strap is *chef's kiss* amazinggg and prevents the dog from sitting too low on your waist. There's also a safety hook to keep your pet secure and an adjustable neck strap to keep them comfy.
Promising review: "My 8-pound Yorkipoo is getting old and can no longer keep up with me on our long hikes. After purchasing this carrier, she now gets to ride in style after about a mile of walking. It's easy to set her inside it and it hooks securely to her harness to keep her from accidentally falling out. She seems very comfortable while in the carrier and she gets to look around and sniff the air while I get some exercise." —doughnut42
Shipping info: Free expedited Prime shipping available for Prime members, and non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Christmas (see Amazon's full shipping information here).
Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in three sizes and 14 colors).
6. Or a three-wheel pet stroller when their dog is a bit too heavy for a sling or just not a big fan of walking. They'll be able to stick their nose out and enjoy the fresh air while their owner does all the hard work — now that's true love.
Promising review: "This stroller is perfect! My dog has cataracts and I wanted her to walk with me. But since she won’t be able to see the sidewalk or other dogs, I was afraid to take her if I wasn’t going to carry her the whole time. This stroller came with a soft blanket pad, shade cover, and the best part, a zipper front covering. It allows her to get air and enjoy a luxury ride. ☺️ She loves her stroller!" —sunniedey119

7. A leakproof, portable dog water bottle so they can keep their pet hydrated on the go. It's perfect for long days at the park and road trips! The water spout is also a mini dish for them to drink from so they'll never go thirsty.
Promising reviews: "I saw this on a TikTok video and checked on Amazon and ordered it. My toy poodle loves it and drank out of it with no hesitation. With the heat wave we are having in California right now, I want to be sure she is well hydrated. Before I leave the house I fill the holder with ice and water, and I am set. Easy to clean and no spilled water in the car. Easy to throw in my purse and have it when we are out walking around." —Amazon Customer
"This water bottle is truly a godsend! I cannot imagine using any other travel water bottle for my pups! It is slim, fits perfectly in a bottle slot in my travel bag; it is lightweight and has a loop to put around my wrist when I walk with my pups. It is extremely convenient on car rides, when my pup is thirsty and needs a quick pick-me-up! I especially love the fact that it sucks the water back in, so that I am not wasting unused water." —LV4NMLS

As for my dogs — they are not a fan of this product. They are upset that they are no longer being fed double meals because we couldn't remember if we fed them or not. Worth the $10!" —Megan

It's great for recording basic phrases like "outside" or "play" so they can learn to associate the words with each button.
See it in action on TikTok!
These buzzers are super easy to use. Simply tap the red button on the side, record your sound (up to seven seconds long!) tap it again, and play it back. Done!
Promising review: "We're using these to give my dog a voice. I've recorded 'potty outside,' 'water please,' and 'treat' into these buttons and put them around the house for her to use. Now, when she needs to use the restroom, she says 'potty outside.' When she comes back in, she goes straight to 'treat' and asks for her reward. When her bowl is empty, she lets me know by pushing 'water, please.' She is a 9-pound Chihuahua with arthritis in her front paw and has no problems pushing the buttons down to make them speak. Great purchase. I want to buy more and add more phrases. (Phrases like 'play,' 'car ride,' 'bedtime,' and 'cuddles!') I am 100% happy!" —Tye Rannosaurus
