I bought myself a bunch of presents last week. We’ve got a new rescue dog coming home soon, and in celebration of this (and just my general love of Labradors), I decided to have a bit of a gift party. Oops!
In the name of justifying my purchases, I thought I’d share them with you as they aren’t only cool presents to myself, they would also make awesome gifts for any other Labrador lovers. Like your family members, your best buddies, or, let’s face it, yourself.

Labrador Notepads
I don’t know about you, but I use notepads constantly. I have one for my daily tasks, another for dog training notes, and a third for jotting down crochet patterns. It’s a thing! As a firm believer in the usefulness of notepads, I couldn’t not include a couple in this list. They’re useful for everyone!
Hearts and Labradors
I am a real fan of the design on this one(paid link). The pages feel good quality in your fingers, and when I started using it this week it took the ink well and didn’t do that splatty thing some notepads are prone to.
(paid link)Lots of Labs
I like the look of this notepad(paid link) better in person than the one we’ve just looked at, it’s just more fun! Plus, it’s got Labradors of every color so perfect for any owner!
(paid link)Labrador Earrings
I’m very picky about my earrings, and even harder to please when choosing gifts for friends! The pressure to get it right when you’re going to expect them to walk around with something so obviously on display is hard to ignore, isn’t it. But if your buddy is anything like me, they’ll really love these.
Stud
I looked at two potential pairs, firstly this set of studs(paid link). I liked the look of them, but they were pretty pricey so I kept searching and settled on this dangly pair.
Labrador earrings
I was really pleasantly surprised by these earrings. I liked them, but I was worried they would be a little childish in design from the images on Amazon(paid link). But they are actually really lovely, a cute nod to gorgeous Labradors that honestly I didn’t find juvenile at all and look great on.
(paid link)Oven Mitts
We all use oven mitts(paid link), although admittedly some more than others. But they are always such a safe bet as a present, because they are practical, low pressure on the pattern front, and they wear out so we all could do with an extra pair or two kicking around.
(paid link)This pair look lovely in terms of the graphics, but they look and feel a bit… shiny? Is that a thing? They don’t feel like the rest of my oven gloves do, they are slippery to the touch. These mitts do the job, but be warned they don’t look as high end in person as they do in the pictures.
Labrador Scarf
I am so in love with this scarf(paid link), it looks and feels good quality, and the print is more subtle than I’d thought it would be. So you’re sharing your Labrador love, but not rubbing it in people’s faces!
(paid link)Black Lab Cushion
I loved the simple look of this (paid link)when I saw it online, and I am really pleased with it. In fact, I’ve moved it from the living room to my home office so that I can keep it with me during the day! I didn’t use a pillow pad, because I am a keen crocheter so I always have a huge amount of stuffing around! It filled really nicely, it’s comfy on my study chair and the simple design has a great impact.
(paid link)Dog Hair Glitter
This pillow cover is a very different style. It’s bold and fun(paid link), and the print quality is pretty good too. Perfect for the friend who likes a bit of a joke in their soft furnishings!

(paid link)The Labrador Handbook
Anyone that shares their life with a Labrador will benefit from this book(paid link). And yes, I’m biased, but it’s a really good read. From choosing the right puppy to raising your dog throughout their life, it’s packed with great advice.
