Christmas Gifts for Dog Lovers: The 2026 Guide

Buying for someone who loves their dog more than most people? The easy gifts (a mug, a sweatshirt with a paw print) are the ones they already own. This guide is organized by the kind of person you are buying for, and it mixes things for the human with things for the dog. Everything here is from Bonne et Filou, the New York dog treat and accessory house, and L’Atelier, our custom dog portraits on canvas.

Christmas timing for canvases: order by December 1, 2026 for delivery by Christmas in the contiguous US. Every canvas is made to order, so this date comes earlier than for our treats.

For the one who has everything: their own dog, on the wall

The gift nobody can buy for themselves without feeling a little silly is a portrait of their own dog. At L’Atelier, that dog goes into an original scene: a glasshouse with a brass daybed, a Paris pastry shop, a lavender road in Provence, a marble staircase. It is a painting-style portrait printed on canvas, and it hangs in the living room rather than the hallway.

A few scenes that make good Christmas gifts:

• L’Orangerie: a dog stretched out on a brass daybed among palms. Panoramic, made for the wall above a sofa.
• La Pâtisserie: a dog behind the counter of a Paris pastry shop. A natural fit for anyone who loves Paris.
• Le Chalet: a dog in a deck chair on a mountain chalet sun deck, skis against the timber. The most wintry scene in the collection.
• L’Heure du Thé: a dog at a tea table in a Paris salon, with a tower of macarons.

How it works: choose a scene, send at least 2 photos of the dog, and we place them into it. You see a proof within 24 to 48 hours and can ask for as many changes as you like. The canvas is printed in the USA, framed or frameless, and ships free to the contiguous US.

You will need photos of their dog. If the gift is a surprise, a partner, a sibling or their own social media usually has what you need. Our guide to dog photos explains what works.

For the one who counts down to Christmas

The dog treats advent calendar is our Versailles inspired box with 24 windows and a handmade treat behind each one: dog truffles, bones and macarons, made in small batches from human-grade ingredients. Preorders ship from November 2026. Order it early: it is the gift the dog opens every morning.

For the one who spoils their dog at the table

• The Christmas treats box: 18 handmade holiday treats, from snowflakes to little trees, for under the tree.
• Dog macarons: our signature treat, a hard macaron made for a long chew, with no artificial coloring or preservatives.
• The macaron gift box: 18 dog macarons in a box that looks like it came from a Paris pâtisserie.

For the one who walks in style

A leather collar or a leather leash, made in the USA by leather smiths, is the kind of thing a dog wears every day for years. For winter walks, the shearling grip and rope leash keeps the human’s hand warm too.

For the one who wants a gift that keeps arriving

The Dog Macaron Club sends boxes of macarons through the year, so the gift keeps arriving long after the tree comes down.

For a stocking

Plush macaron toys, a squeaky wine bottle or a red heel that is finally allowed to be chewed.
