How to pick the perfect dog mom gift

  • Match her personality. Wine lover, coffee person, gardener, rescue advocate, or the one who finds her calm on the couch with her dog? There's a gift for her and her favorite things.
  • Think about where she'll use it. Tees for every day, joggers, a tunic or a half-zip for cold mornings and walks, a sleep shirt for slow weekends, a hat and tumbler for errands, and a journal for the nightstand.
  • Check the fit. Women's tees run more fitted and the Signature tee runs small, so size up if unsure. The V-neck is relaxed, the Heart & Soul hoodie is cropped, the tunic, half-zip and Wine & My Dog hoodie are roomy unisex cuts, and the sleep shirt comes in paired sizes (SM/MD, LG/XL, 2XL/3XL).
  • Pick a forgiving color. Grey, cream, and heather hide dog hair best. Choose based on her dog's coat color. We're serious.
  • Bundle a small gift. Pair a $29.99 tee with the $14.99 journal or the $11.99 tumbler for a thoughtful gift under $50.
