Gifts for Whippet Lovers This Christmas
Whippet lovers don’t need big or extravagant presents. They adore the little things, the thoughtful, heartfelt touches that celebrate the dog who curls up on their lap every night, hogs the softest blanket in the house, and delivers the world’s gentlest snout kisses.
We’ve curated a collection of beautiful and meaningful gifts for people who can’t imagine life without a long-nose companion. Whether you’re shopping for a friend, a family member, or simply treating yourself, this guide is filled with ideas that bring a touch of whippet charm into everyday life.
Whippet Mugs
Because every whippet parent deserves a mug that quietly (or loudly) says:
“Yes, I am obsessed.”
Two favourites in our home are:
John Julian Stoneware Gift boxed Simple Mug with Hound
A beautifully crafted mug with a subtle hound motif that feels elegant and timeless.Emma Bridgewater Whippet Mug
A beloved design from her dog collection now extremely hard to find, but occasionally spotted on Etsy or eBay for the determined treasure hunter.
Elegant Whippet Wall Art
If you follow us on Instagram, you’ll know I cannot resist discovering new whippet artwork.
Minimalist silhouettes, soft-line sketches, or delicate watercolour portraits make stunning additions to any gallery wall. That unmistakable sighthound outline adds beauty and personality without overwhelming the space.
A favourite prints:
Each creates pieces that capture the grace, playfulness, and quiet charm of the breed.
Whippet-themed Home Décor
We love filling our home with whippet-themed décor, from large, eye-catching statement pieces to tiny treasures that bring joy every time we walk past them. These items blend seamlessly into stylish interiors while still celebrating the elegance of the breed.
We’re a little obsessed (okay… very obsessed) with the magical world of Polly Fern, especially her whimsical coasters, ceramic whippets, and sculptural vases that feel like small works of art.
And then there’s Lorraine Corrigan and her incredible papier-mâché sighthounds, each one full of character, craftsmanship, and soul. Together, these pieces make a home feel warm, meaningful, and joyfully whippet-filled.
Favourite pieces to look for:

Personalised Whippet Gifts
Anything personalised instantly feels more special, especially when it involves a beloved whippet. These are the gifts that spark emotional reactions, the ones people cherish for years.
A custom print or painting captures your dog’s unique expression, elegance, and personality in a way no standard décor ever could.
IOW or Nowhere create wonderfully fun, character-filled prints that transform your pet into playful, charming art.
Bibinky’s Etsy shop offers hand-painted or hand-drawn pieces that feel intimate, thoughtful, and completely one of a kind.
Two perfect options depending on whether you want something modern, or whimsical and hand-rendered.
And one of the most meaningful gifts I’ve ever received was from Gabriel: a ring-carving kit from Workbench London.
You carve and shape your own ring, guided through the process but the real magic comes from their pet imprint kit, which allows you to press your whippet’s paw pad or nose into the wax. The final cast ring carries that imprint forever. It’s personal, emotional, and utterly unforgettable.
Stocking Fillers
For the whippet lover in your life, stocking fillers can be both charming and practical. Think beautifully illustrated Polly Fern Coasters featuring elegant hound silhouettes, perfect for adding a touch of artistic whimsy to any coffee table. Add the ever-popular Trendy Whippet Socks, a cosy and playful nod to their favourite breed. These small but thoughtful gifts bring a delightful mix of style, personality, and whippet-themed joy to any festive stocking.

A Whippet-Filled Closing Note
Whippet lovers are a special breed themselves; sentimental, devoted, and head-over-heels for their elegant, mischievous companions. The perfect gift doesn’t need to be extravagant; it simply needs to feel personal. Whether it’s a handmade ornament, a custom portrait, or something as meaningful as a paw-imprinted ring, the best presents are the ones that help us celebrate the dogs who make our lives softer, sillier, and infinitely more beautiful.
Wishing you all a VERY Merry Christmas x
