5 great gifts for your dog, plus 5 less expensive gifts for your family

'Tis better to give than receive, especially when it comes to spoiling our beloved four-legged companions during the holiday season! Giving gifts to human loved ones is also something that happens.

Here are five paw-esome luxury gifts that your pup will love! And also some presents for your family, because I guess you're obligated to get stuff for them too.

1.

Cashmere sweater by Stylin' Canine® ($175)


The weather outside is frightful, but this stylish sweater is so delightful. Available in a range of colours with optional rhinestone decorations, it's the ideal gift for your fashionable furry friend. But whatever you do, don't tell mom it's made of real cashmere. She'll flip. Say it's fleece or something.

"Lightly-used" thrift store hat ($4)


Show your father that you care about his existence with the hat of a recently deceased person! Stop by your local secondhand store, pick out un beau chapeau, and tell your dad it's "vintage". He'll take your word for it!

2.

Organic Kobe beef jerky treats ($225)


Treat your pooch like a king with these gourmet goodies from Organic Pup Boutique® . Made from all natural Kobe beef and infused with truffle oil, your culinary canine will be riding the taste train all the way to Yum City.

Some honey you put in a fancy jar to look "artisanal" ($6)


Fool your mom into thinking you spent $40 on her by buying regular grocery store honey and squeezing it into a fancy looking jar. This one takes some elbow grease, but your mom's worth it!

3.

Professional doggy photo shoot ($350)


Let's face it, your pup is a star and deserves to be photographed like one! A simple two-hour session with a professional photographer and make-up artist will yield snaps worthy of the pages of Vogue. Watch out Tyra Banks! Here comes Tyra Barks!

Framed photo from aforementioned photoshoot ($11)


Nothing warms the cockles of a grandparent's heart quite like a picture of their beloved grandchild. Well, this isn't quite that, but it's not nothing. For the low cost of one frame, your parents can share in the joy of your pet ownership with their very own pic from your fur baby's photo session.

4.

Swarovski® crystal dog collar ($450)

Your rascal will look regal in this shiny, shimmering collar! Replete with rows of handset crystals, this blinged-out neckpiece will be all the talk at doggy daycare.

Bracelet made from your dog's previous collar ($9)


Just because your pup upgraded his duds doesn't mean his previous duds are worthless. Pull that old collar out of the trash and use your crafting skills to make a DIY bracelet worthy of your mother's wrist.

5.

Weeklong stay at the Chien De La Mer Pet Resort & Spa ($1800)


Pamper your pet from head to paw with a 7-day getaway at the country's #1 luxury resort for non-humans. Included in the 5-star accommodations are daily hot stone massages, mud shampoo baths, and meals by Michelin-rated Executive Chef Alain Gagnier.

A donation in your parents' names to the puppy fund (N/A)


Just be sure to get the tax receipt. That dog vacation isn't gonna pay for itself, people!
