Dachshund Gifts: Holiday Gift Guide for Every Coat and Color

Shopping for a dachshund person is easy right up until you try to buy something that looks like their dachshund. Because a dachshund person does not have "a dachshund." They have a long haired chocolate dapple named Waffles who hates the mail carrier, and a generic red wiener dog is simply not him.

Dachshunds come in three coat types (smooth, long haired and wirehaired) and more colors than a paint store: red, black and tan, chocolate, cream, dapple, piebald, brindle and wild boar. Customers at our market booth tell us all the time that they can never find their doxie. So we made them.

Here are our favorite dachshund gifts for the holidays, sorted by price, coat type and how much the dog is involved in the decision (very involved, frankly).

1. Dachshund Gifts $10 and Under

Stocking stuffers, Secret Santa, the dog sitter, the coworker whose desk is a doxie shrine. Everything in this section is $10 or less.

Dachshund luggage tags ($10): Faux leather tags in more than 20 coat and color combinations, each with a collar charm that says what the dog is thinking. Attach one to a suitcase, gym bag, backpack or dog bag. A few favorites:

• Black and Silver Dapple Dachshund | Hooligan
• Long Haired Piebald Dachshund | Mentally, I'm a Guard Dog
• English Cream Long Haired Dachshund | I'm Just a Baby
• Brindle Dachshund | Menace
• Chocolate and Tan Dachshund | Chaos Potato
• Red Wirehaired Dachshund | CEO of Everything

Dachshund fridge magnets ($9.50): High-gloss aluminum with a ceramic magnet so strong it holds a stack of vet bills without flinching. These are the thing people grab three of at our market booth.

Short Dogg Syndrome collar charm and matching keychain ($9.99): For the dog who has never once been told he is small, and the human who agrees.

Waterproof dachshund stickers ($2.75 to $5): For water bottles, laptops and the back of the car. Try Welcome to the Wiener's Circle, the Isabella dapple with pro-level side-eye or You're All Wieners. Tuck one in a holiday card. It beats the family newsletter every time.

Best for: stocking stuffers, gift exchanges, dog sitters, groomers, dog park friends and anyone you need several small gifts for.

2. Find Their Exact Dachshund: Gifts by Coat Type and Color

3. Custom Dachshund Gifts Featuring Their Actual Dog

If their doxie has a one-of-a-kind dapple pattern, one ear that flips inside out or a gray muzzle that has earned every hair, put their actual dog on the gift.

We make custom pet photo gifts in our Portland studio, including luggage tags, fridge magnets, metal bookmarks, keychains, ornaments, badge reels, coasters and notepad portfolios.

We strongly suggest adding our Custom Pet Art Upgrade. We can clean up blurry or cluttered photos, fix cropped ears (dachshund ears are a lot of ear) and turn your pup into an original design. We keep the artwork on file, so you can use it on any custom gift now or later.

Best for: dachshund moms and dads, rescue doxie families, memorial gifts and the person who has every dachshund thing ever made except one of their dachshund.

Custom Dachshund Dad Gifts

Dachshund dads are hard to shop for. He says he doesn't need anything. He also carries the dog up the stairs and calls it "the boy." Put the boy on something he'll actually use:

• Custom pet photo bottle opener: credit card size, lives in his wallet, shows up at every barbecue.
• Custom pet photo hat pin: for his ball cap, so strangers can ask about the dog (he's hoping they will).
• Custom golf hat clip with golf ball markers: his doxie marks the ball on every green. The dog would prefer to steal it.

4. Gifts for the Dachshund (Yes, the Dog)

The dachshund does not understand Christmas. This has never stopped anyone.

Our Pup Lids trucker hats made for dogs come in six sizes and actually stay on. A dachshund in a trucker hat is the most important thing that will happen on your street this year. Add a funny collar charm so the dog can finally tell the public how they feel.
