Isabelle, Baby & Ruby’s picks

  1. Carhartt Knit Cuff LED Light Beanie

    • A game changer for dark winter dog walks – I’ve gifted this to friends and fam in past years, everyone always loves it.

  2. Birkenstock Boston Shearling Suede Clogs

    • Because apparently it’s frowned upon to do late night potty walks in your slippers (eye roll emoji).

  3. Cool Poo Bags - The Thank You Bag

    • All I want for Christmas is to stop running out of poop bags whenever my dog poops in my neighbor’s yard.

  4. Felt+Fat Large Pet Set

    • When your dog’s food looks as good as Maev does, it needs a pretty bowl to go with it.

  5. Fable Dog Bed

    • I got this dog bed recently and I kid you not, I’m trying to figure out a way to get a pillow for myself made of this same memory foam. Not to mention it looks good in my living room, which is always a plus.

  6. Dog Songs: Poems by Mary Oliver

    • My sister gave me this last Christmas and it’s one of my favorites. It’s unexpected but so meaningful.


Jama & Ernie’s picks

  1. Blinds

    • Let’s just say Ernie has very strong feelings about the delivery guy, and as a result... new blinds have become a necessity. If you know a dog parent who’s renting, this might just be the perfect (practical) gift for them.

  2. Dog mom phone case

    • Incase your screen saver doesn’t get the point across, your phone case makes it loud and clear: You’re a proud dog mom.

  3. Running Shoe: Fresh Foam X 1080v14

    • For the dog parent that spends a lot of time on their feet! Whether we’re running, walking, or at a park, Ernie and I love spending time outside. A versatile, all-day running shoe is 👩‍🍳💋

  4. Furei Charm Collar

    • Like a charm necklace but for your dog. It’s the ultimate accessory, hellooooo

  5. Custom dog bowl

    • Because presentation is everything, especially for mealtime.

  6. Lauda Cardi Cirque Sweater x Lisa Says Gah Matching Sweaters (Little Beast)

    • Matching sweaters with your dog? Need I say more?

  7. Ribbed Throw

    • For the dog and dog parent that are always cold. You can never have too many blankets!


Katie, George & Winnie’s picks

  1. Little Beast x Dusen Dusen Dog Parka

    • George doesn’t spend much time in the cold, but whenever temps drop below 60* he likes to layer - this striped parka is exactly George’s mix of preppy yet unique.

  2. Aime Leon Dore x New Balance x George Earflip Hat or Vest

    • George and Winnie often participate in NIL deals. This was one of their latest collabs. 

  3. FieldBar On The Go Cooler

    • This is an on the go cooler that perfectly fits a bag or two of Maev, plus maybe a couple of Topo Chicos or even a bottle of wine. George and Win love a day trip, and hate to be too far away from lunch. Unlike most coolers, this one is easy to carry on one shoulder while carrying George on the other, and holding a leash at the same time. 


Maddy & Pete’s picks

  1. Custom LL Bean Boat & Tote 

    • A custom designed do-it-all tote that is for your dog / dog’s stuff / occasionally your stuff when you also want to rep your dog.

  2. Brown Trout Dog Collar

    • Look good and donate to a great cause at the same time

  3. Ruffland Hands-Free Leash 

    • I run every day with Pete. This is our go-to leash. It’s great for having your dog help pull you up the hill. 

  4. Kiehls Dog Shampoo

    • Pete has a mostly-white coat which means that we find ourselves needing to hose off probably more than most. I always use Kiehls Cuddly Coat Shampoo. Smells great and makes him so soft. 

  5. Car wash subscription to your local / preferred spot 

    • My dog sheds…


Javier & Maia’s picks

  1. Monster K9 Ultra-Durable Chew Ring

    • Maia’s favorite pastime is destroying every dog toy at home (and at Maev HQ); this chew ring is one of very few toys that has withstood the test of time 

  2. West Paw Qwizl

    • A perfect vehicle for treats, jerky, peanut butter, and general chewing entertainment

  3. Cowboy Magic Detangler & Shine

    • A great product for long-haired dogs, it makes brushing Maia’s coat so much easier, and keeps it smelling fresh

  4. Unifury Personalized Dog Mug

    • Corny gifts and good gifts are not mutually exclusive

  5. Frisco Shark Dog Life Jacket

    • Hilarious but helpful for high-depth hydraulic high jinks


Angelyn & Lana’s picks

  1. Cat Haus Carousel

    • Lana thinks we are made of money. I’ll do whatever it takes to deter her from scratching the rugs—thank god this one is cute.

  2. 1-2 feet of string

    • Maybe it’s ribbon from a gift or twine that wrapped the pie box, it’s essentially a free toy. Lana likes to play with it and loves the extra attention when she accidentally eats it…………

  3. Meowijuana Meowy Js

    • A little something to take the edge off. 

  4. Cardboard box

    • Any size here will do. Why not spoil your cat with a new “house”?

  5. Furminator Undercoat deShedding Tool

    • This brush really gets into the undercoat to collect loose cat hair that would otherwise be on all over the floor and furniture. Now I can just vacuum the apartment once a day instead of two 🥴 

  6. Bolognese

    • ??? Lana wrote this one in herself, but what can I say? She has developed a love for meat sauce. Good girl.

    • Keep your dog occupied when you have visitors or they’re feeling anxious, spread peanut butter and freeze it for an extra tough challenge 

  4. Ghia Aperitif

    • Non-alcholic aperitif as delicious as the real deal, need I say more? You won’t hate taking your dog out for their early morning walk with this as your drink of choice 

  5. Funny Fuzzy dog bed

    • The ultimate relaxation station for your Dog!!!

  6. Fishwife - Anchovies in EVOO

Michael & Dresden’s picks

    • Someone gave this to me as a gift – it’s framed on the wall of our house next to the rest of the family. She artist captures the dog’s expression so well.

  2. Orvis Backseat Cover

    • Dresden loves walking/hiking and loves water even more. This has really protected the car.

  3. “Hello My Name Is” Nametag

    • Dresden is a person so she needs a nametag, not a dog tag.
