Dog lovers are easy to buy for in one way: they love their dog more than almost anything. Ask to see a photo and you'll get forty, plus a video of the zoomies. The best gifts for dog lovers start right there.
Ideas they'll love
- A key ring of their dog: an acrylic photo key ring (£12) with their dog's photo and name. It ends up on the lead hook, the car keys and every walk.
- A glass block for the mantelpiece: a large crystal glass block (£54) with the dog's best portrait and their name underneath.
- A canvas for the wall: the photo of them mid gallop on the beach, as a photo canvas from £39.
- A treat box or a new toy: good for the dog, and therefore for the owner.
Then add the video
Here's the part that gets the reaction. Every TimeFrame keepsake comes with a video. Choose 20 to 30 seconds of their dog being their dog: the head tilt, the tail going, the excited spin at the door. When they point their phone at the photo, it plays.
For a puppy, it's a way to keep those tiny, chaotic early weeks. For an older dog, it's a way to keep them exactly as they are now.
How to get a good photo of a dog
- Get down to their level instead of looking down on them
- Use daylight, outside or by a window
- Hold a treat just above the camera for that alert, ears up look
- Take lots of photos: one of them will be the one
