7 gifts for dog lovers we're drooling over

Do you have a gazillion dog pictures on your phone? I do, and I'm not ashamed to admit it. Though I can't afford my own pet, I frequently dog-sit my parent's labrador retriever, so I spend a lot of time in the company of canines. She's a great dog with a wonderful temperament, and I treat her like a Queen. If you adore dogs like I do, you're in good company. I went ahead and assembled a list of gift ideas for dog lovers, so let's jump in and get our fur wet.

Welsh Corgi iPhone Case

Popular with the Queen of England, the Welsh Corgi is an adorable dog breed. I mean, what's not to love? With their stubby legs and bat-like ears, they're more like walking teddy bears than four-legged canines. But you know what's even better than one Welsh Corgi? A pile of them.

This iPhone case is adorable because the cartoonish image shows a gaggle of Corgi dogs. For some reason, I have the urge to dive into the dog pile as if they're a pile of leaves. Don't you just want to nuzzle all of them? This case not only will warm your heart, it'll also protect your phone.

Dog Baking Molds

I'm a lousy baker, as I always mess up the measurements, but these molds are too cool to pass up. If you're looking to make some pawesome treats (see what I did there), this baking tool is the perfect thing for you. Delight your friends, furry or otherwise, with dog-themed cookies. You can literally throw your friend a bone.

These silicone molds are easy to clean too. Just run it through the dishwasher or wash it by hand with warm soapy water. Who said baking had to be messy? There's no reason to overcomplicate matters.

Dog Shaped USB Charger

Do your electronic devices always run out of juice? In this day and age, it's impossible to get things done without a phone or computer. Maybe I'm being a little dramatic, but a spare USB charger could save your life.

This dog shaped USB charger makes an excellent desk decoration, but I highly recommend keeping one at your place of work. It could help you out when you're in a tight spot.

I can't tell you how many times I've left work with a dead phone and gotten stuck in the underbelly of Boston's confusing subway system I rely on public transit, so when a bus or train gets canceled, I need to call an Uber or find an alternative mode of transportation. In other words, my phone needs plenty of charge.

Zen Dogs

I can't speak for all dogs, but my parent's labrador retriever really grounds me. The tension seems to melt from my body whenever I stroke her fur or take her for a long walk through the woods. I'm not trying to get super philosophical here, but animals seem to be in touch with their inner self.

This book contains photographs of dogs in their most relaxed state. The pictures are stunning, as they really capture tranquil beauty. I've only seen a few images from this book, and every single one of them made me smile.

Dachshund Dog Creamer

This ceramic creamer will delight unsuspecting house guests. With Thanksgiving only a few weeks away, I recommend using it to hold your gravy. I guarantee it will be the talk of the table. I mean, come on. It's shaped like a Dachshung dog.

Surprisingly, the creamer's more robust than it appears. It looks delicate, but it's both dishwasher and microwave safe. I don't recommend tossing it across the room or anything, but it's more durable than I would've given it credit for.

Boxer Blueprint

This piece of art is interesting because it provides a plethora of information on various breeds. Did you know that Boxers are descendants of Tibetan fighting dogs? Me neither!

The blueprint might be on the more expensive end, but it makes for a memorable gift. If your friend loves a specific dog breed, I recommend surprising them with this unique work of art. Maybe they'll learn a thing or two about their own beloved pooch!

Dog Organizer

Do you have a messy work space? Well, you probably need this dog shaped organizer then. It'll hold your pencils, tacks, and paper clips. It's add some personality to your work station, if that's what you're looking for. But it really is a senisble gift too.

This dog organizer comes with a bag of paper clips and a rubber band. It also available in red. However, the picture on the Amazon page is a little decieving. The organizer is a lot smaller than you think it is.
