Shar-Pei Lover Gift Ideas

Shar-pei puppies are known for their loose skin.

A reliable way to please loyal shar-pei lovers is to give them presents related to their favorite dog breed. For those who actually own a shar-pei, the best gifts may be items the dog can actually use. Other enthusiasts of the breed often enjoy decorations or household items with pictures of the floppy-skinned dogs on them.

Shar-Pei Pictures

Many shar-pei lovers enjoy filling their living area or work spaces with pictures of a shar-pei. While a photo book or coffee table book is the most straightforward approach, shar-pei imagery is readily available in a wide variety of forms. A shar-pei calendar is both decorative and useful. Screen printing shops and some online suppliers can also apply shar-pei photographs to clothing, mugs, mouse pads and a wide variety of other object to create customized gifts.

Decorations

Some gift shops and online suppliers sell decorative shar-pei figurines that dog lovers can use to decorate a mantel or end table, or as a centerpiece or bookend. Statuettes are also available of shar-peis wearing Halloween costumes or in a variety of cute poses. Shar-pei lovers who celebrate Christmas may enjoy a gift of a Christmas tree ornament with a picture of a shar-pei on it, or in the shape of a small shar-pei figurine.

Stuffed Animals

The characteristic loose skin and layered folds of fur on a shar-pei puppy make stuffed toy shar-peis truly adorable. If a shar-pei lover is unable to keep a shar-pei due to cost, living conditions or because she is still too young, one way you can console her is by giving her a stuffed shar-pei to serve as a lovable substitute until such time as circumstances change. Look for stuffed shar-peis at toy stores or online suppliers.

Dog Accessories

You can help your favorite shar-pei lover pamper his favorite shar-pei by giving dog care items or accessories. A dog sweater can help dogs in cold climates stay warm on walks. Dog beds, personalized feeding bowls, leashes, collar tags or toys make practical gifts, especially for new shar pei owners. If you plan to buy an accessory for the dog to wear, such as a sweater or collar, check with the owner first to make sure the gift is in the right size.
