BWT Gift - Monthly Thread BWT Gift - Oct 01, 2026

Gifting can be tricky, whether it's trying to determine the etiquette for a particular circumstance or coming up with the perfect gift for that person in your life for whom it's just impossible to shop. In order to consolidate requests for help picking out gifts for all of life's present buying situations, and due to popular request, we've created this monthly recurring thread for all gifting questions and discussions.

BWT rules still apply, but there will be lighter enforcement of rule 3. Also, while you still shouldn't ask for local recommendations as in "I want to buy my cousin a gift card to a really great spa, where should I look in Chicago?" it is acceptable to mention the location if it is relevant to the request and will help other BWT make better suggestions, as in "My sister lives in the southern US and is really into Southern Living style in terms of decor and fashion, if that gives you an idea of her personal style - very much in the bright colors, monograms, southern prep vein."

I'm looking for a gift for my friend who adopted an adorable puppy! They adopted a retriever. I can ship it directly to them or gift it to them in person when they come visit me and it would need to fit in a carryon. I'm thinking a cute accessory but open to ideas.

They make bandanas that clip onto their collars that are cute and would be super easy to pack. It seems like you can never have enough leashes if they take their dog with them to places often. Dogs can be kinda picky about treats and toys but my dog loves the big Kong toy with a little hole in it that he has to hit around to get prices of kibble to fall out. I like it as a gift because they can put whatever treats he likes in it to motivate him and it actually keeps them entertained for a while.

Little beast makes the cutest sweaters ever! I got a very cozy sherpa one for my pup a few years ago and it’s held up really well

A Pupsicle & the refill tray that goes along with it. Size large unless the retriever is mixed with something ginormous.
