It is hard to believe that Christmas is almost here! I have been knitting around the clock to get holiday orders out to cozy, happy customers, and I am happy to say that I completed my final custom knit Christmas order this morning. While typing is still keeping my hands busy, it is nice to pry my fingers away from the knitting needles for a few hours, though I will be picking them up again soon to get started on the dozens of 2016 orders that have already been placed. That being said, I would like to thank everyone who supported All You Need is Pug this year, whether by shopping in our Etsy shop, stopping at our booth at local events, or sharing our adventures with us on social media, your involvement means so much! This was an incredible year for the business. I quit my day job to pursue this unique, fulfilling dream full-time, and thanks to family, friends, loyal customers, and social media followers, All You Need is Pug is thriving and I hope to see it continue to grow in 2016. You are all so wonderful, and this small business would not exist without you!

Before I head off to get some of my own shopping and wrapping done, I do want to note that there is still time to do some of your holiday shopping with us! While you may have missed out on ordering custom knits for the dog lovers in your life this holiday season, never fear! We have you covered with several Ready to Ship gifts still available. Visit our Etsy shop to place orders for pug mugs, totes, t-shirts, and greeting cards. Place US orders with Priority Shipping by midnight on December 18 to receive them in time for Christmas Eve. Be sure to select the shipping upgrade at checkout, because standard shipping likely won’t arrive in time now that we are so close to the holiday.

And with that, I leave you to enjoy all of the holiday traditions and festivities that await you! From the All You Need is Pug family to yours, happy holidays and a beautiful, blissful new year!

If you want a gift that will impress your co-workers year-round, we’ve got two adorable options for you! For the coffee loving co-worker who simply can’t start the day without a cup of joe, our pug mugs will bring a bit of extra delight to every sip. If your co-workers enjoy decorating their office space, add a bit of fun and whimsy to their decor with our A Very Pugly 2016 wall calendar.

Teenagers and children can be tough to buy for, especially as they develop their own sense of style. Our knit hat line is sure to offer something that will impress people of all ages, and our Fox Hat is a particular favorite among fashionable teens and little ones.

Need a gift for that awesome dog dad? Add a sense of adventure to his holiday gift with a cozy handmade Aviator Helmet Set. Each set comes with a matching pair of hats, one for your cool dude, and the other for his dog. The dog hat can be custom made to fit dogs of most breeds. Need a gift just for your special guy? Order a solo Aviator Helmet for him to enjoy all winter long!

Every girl would love a personal assistant as a holiday gift, but since those can be rather pricey, try a pug tote bag instead! Each tote is printed with one of our beautiful pug designs and is the perfect size for helping your loved one to carry everything from library books and groceries to kids’ toys and little daily necessities. While these adorable totes may not be quite as helpful as a personal assistant, they are wonderful for helping busy gals to stay organized on the go.

As most of our customers know, our shop is all about pampering your pup with clothing that is both cozy and fashionable. Our large line of custom, handmade dog hats and dog neck warmers make gorgeous gifts not only for your own pets, but for the ardent dog lovers in your life. We custom create dog clothing for dogs of almost any shape or size, so every four-legged-friend on your holiday list can receive something special that has been made to fit his or her unique measurements.

Looking to grab gifts that will suit absolutely anyone on your holiday list? We offer pug holiday greeting cards and handmade pug ornaments that will make people of all ages smile! Each greeting card is customizable so that you can add an extra personal touch by having your own message written inside, and our ornaments come as singles or in sets, giving you options to accommodate everyone you love.

We hope that our suggestions have helped you check a few people off of your holiday list, and that you enjoy the wonderful season that lies ahead.
