Looking for a unique gift to welcome a new pup into your home? Or maybe you’re like me and like to give new puppy shower gifts. In the last year I’ve had three friends get new puppies. The most recent was just a couple of weeks ago when our good friends Lee and Brenda welcomed Mochachino, a Boxer, into their lives.

Well, that meant it was time for me to hit the stores and find her just the right gift. Here’s the ones that caught my eye from:
Puppy Love Doggy Bag: Cute canvas tote stuffed with a soft fleece toy, chew toys (selected according to dog’s breed and size), a bandana, and personalized with the dog’s name. Comes in pink or blue, but both are trimmed with a boa. (The furry kind not the constrictor.) $28.95.
AKC Puppy Pack: Has all the things you’d buy for a real baby, just puppy-tized! Soft blanket, puppy shirt, bathrobe, plush lamb toy. (None of my friends would ever dress their dogs, so this wouldn’t work, but I did think it was cute.) $49.99
Doggles Beauty Gift Pack: Babies need baths, so do puppies. Check out the soap varieties: chamomile aloe with olive oil, naturally clear, lavender mint with oatmeal and noni, and mango butter with shea butter. Now throw in a rubber ducky and bath mitt and that’s a set I’d almost want to give to myself rather than a puppy! $24.99
Pink Puppy Teething Blankie (they also have them in blue for boys): It’s a soft snugly blanket for pup to feel secure on but comes with an attached bone to help ease teething discomfort. $12.99
Snuggle Bear Blanket: A fleecy safe spot for pup to rest her cuddly head. Comes in pink or blue. $4.99
Plush Snuggle Bunny Toy in Pink or Blue: Babies would adore these and so would puppies! $3.49
Curly Plush Pacifier Dog Toy: Choose pink or blue. $3.29
Love Puppy Basket: A snuggle bear blanket from Zanies and a plush squeaky heart toy delivered in a mini-hat box covered in polka dots. Puppy won’t be the only cute thing in the house when this gift arrives! $14.89
