A Christmas gift for a dog owner that is about their dog
Most Christmas gift guides for dog owners are about things for the dog: a stocking, a toy, treats. This is a gift for the owner, about the dog: a book of 28 pages about its habits.
Under the tree, or in the inbox on Christmas morning
You buy the gift for €36.99 and choose how it arrives. Print the card and put it under the tree, or we email it at eight in the morning on 25 December. The owner opens the link, answers seven questions about their dog and has the digital book about ten minutes later.
The hardcover with shipping is included. It is printed after the owner has made the book, so it arrives after Christmas, not on the day.
Why the owner makes it
The owner knows what the book is made of: where the dog really sleeps, what it took off the table last year, the sound it comes running for. They make it when there is time, over the holidays or later. The gift is valid for a year.
Or make it yourself before Christmas
If you know the dog well, make the book yourself for €6.99 and give the private link. The hardcover is €29.99 on top, shipping included, and can go to the owner's address. The hardcover usually arrives about two weeks after the order, and in any case within thirty days, so for a printed book by 25 December, order it by 25 November.
The Christmas chapter
One of the seven questions asks what the dog gets away with. The example under it is the Christmas ham. If there is a Christmas story about the dog, that is where it goes.
Example: Max's book
Max, a Kooikerhondje, stands next to the bed at quarter to seven and breathes on whichever face is nearest until someone gets up. His book shows what the owner gets. Max is an example, not a customer.
Questions
Will the hardcover arrive before Christmas?
Not with the gift: the owner makes the book first, and it is printed after that. If you make the book yourself, the hardcover usually arrives about two weeks after the order and in any case within thirty days, so order it by 25 November.
Can the email arrive on Christmas Eve instead?
Yes. You choose the day, today or up to a year ahead. The email arrives at eight in the morning.
Can I give it to someone whose dog has died?
Yes. The book is then written in the past tense.
Is it only for dog owners?
No. The owner can make the book about a cat, a rabbit or another animal.
Or make the book about their dog yourself.
