4. Edible Dog

How about an edible dog made out of Oreos or similar cookies? This one looks like it would be a lot of fun for kids to make, and then they could give them as gifts to Grandma, etc. (If they don’t eat them first!)

6. Dog Bed

This is a Christmas gift your dog will love! A nice soft dog bed. The dog beds you can purchase are so expensive. And this one is a lot cuter anyway. If you can sew, this does not look too hard to make.
