Great Holiday Gifts for People Who Love Golden Retrievers

We all love using this hashtag (sometimes truthfully, sometimes ironically), and what’s a better symbol of being truly blessed than a Golden with a yummy treat? While we’d never suggest giving a dog an actual doughnut, we can't help but smile at this image. It's just #awesomesauce.

Typical Golden — too many toys to hold at one time! This coaster is humorous but also handy, as it’s absorbent with neoprene backing. We can't imagine any Golden Retriever lover who wouldn't be thrilled to find one or two of these coasters in their stocking. And there are other products with this image, too, like magnets and greeting cards.

You can chalk it up to our practical side if you want, but we think these dog breed chalkboards — and the Golden Retriever one, in particular — would be a good fit in any dog lover's home. Just think: The board can function strictly as a decoration, or it can be a message center that serves as a reminder that Buffy's vet appointment is coming up.
