Boo the Dog Gifts: For the Fan, the Pomeranian, the Stocking

Three kinds of people come here for Boo the Dog gifts: the Boo fan, who wants the dog on a shelf; the Pomeranian owner, who has a small dog with a big coat and the grooming bill to match; and the person filling a stocking for either of them. Everything here is either licensed Boo merchandise or a product we have already vetted on another page of this site, which means the links go where they say and nothing is a knockoff.

If the gift is specifically a plush, go to the Boo the Dog plush guide, which lists every Gund design. This page picks the best few of those and adds the rest.

Boo the Dog gifts for the fan

1. The classic 9-inch Gund Boo. The one gift that has worked every year since 2012. It is the design that actually looks like him, it is still sold new, and a fan who already owns one usually wants the one in an outfit next. The classic Gund Boo plush.

2. Boo: The Life of the World’s Cutest Dog. The 2011 photo book, published in ten languages, and the thing to give someone who followed the Facebook page in its first year. The first Boo book.

3. The Buddy plush. Boo’s older brother, as a Gund plush, and the only way to put the two of them on the same shelf. The fan who knows who Buddy was will understand the gift immediately. Buddy, Boo’s best friend, as a plush.

4. Boo slippers, child size. Licensed, ridiculous, and the one gift on this list that gets worn rather than shelved. For the small fan in the house. Boo the Dog child-size slippers.

5. The Dancing Boo. An animated 9.5-inch plush that moves. It is the gift for the person who already has the plush, the book, and the slippers. Dancing Boo animated plush.

Gifts for the Pomeranian owner

Boo’s famous haircut was a medical decision, and a Pomeranian in a short clip needs two things a full-coated one does not: a gentle brush and a layer. These are the picks from the winter clothes page and the teddy-bear page, chosen there for the coat, and they make better gifts than anything with a paw print on it.

6. A soft pin brush. The daily tool for a Pomeranian coat, gentle enough for a clipped one. A slicker is the wrong gift for a toy breed; this is the right one. The Hertzko soft pin brush.

7. The fleece turtleneck three-pack. The layer a clipped Pomeranian ends up wearing most days from November to March, and the gift that gets used rather than photographed. Three because one is always in the wash. Fitwarm’s fleece turtleneck three-pack.

8. The hooded winter coat. For the Pomeranian owner somewhere cold. Padded, leash hole at the back, sizes small enough for a Pom. Vecomfy’s hooded winter dog coat.

9. Pawz rubber boots. Boo’s actual boots, and the gift that comes with a story: a dozen thin rubber balloons the dog can feel the ground through, which is why he wore them without the usual drama. Pawz rubber dog boots.

10. The ugly Christmas sweater. Because every Pomeranian owner is going to be asked for the holiday photo, and a reindeer knit is the one holiday gift the dog gets wear out of after the photo. The KYEESE ugly Christmas sweater. The rest of the holiday options are on the Christmas page.

For the stocking

11. Itty Bitty Boo minis. Five inches, numbered, sold in costumes. Any of them fits a stocking, and the Easter bunny, ladybug, and strawberry are the three we would pick for a stocking.

12. Reindeer antlers. A headband, so nothing to size and nothing to measure, and the stocking stuffer that produces the photo everyone asks for. BWOGUE’s reindeer antler headband.

13. Plaid Christmas bandanas. For the household whose dog has already vetoed the antlers. A two-pack covers two dogs, or next year. Small plaid Christmas bandanas, two-pack.

14. Paw wax. Rubbed into the pads before a salted walk, it is the stocking stuffer for the dog that will not keep boots on, and the one gift here the dog never notices. Musher’s Secret paw wax.

What is not on this list

Generic “Pomeranian mom” mugs and shirts, because this site has no way to vet them and most are drop-shipped. Any Boo plush that is not Gund, because it is a knockoff. And anything that implies Boo owned it: apart from the Pawz, he did not own a single product in the second and third sections. They are what we would buy today for a dog with his coat, from the fan site that has followed him since his early days. If you are new to the dog himself, his bio is the place to start, and if the gift is for someone who just loves the look, the teddy bear dog page explains where it came from.
