Love dogs and want the world to know it? Here are our picks of Christmas presents for dog lovers this year. As this is the season for giving, we selected a few items that also give back to support animal welfare and rescue groups.
All women t-shirts are a regular fit and feature a scoop neck, capped sleeves and curved tails. They're also preshrunk to minimise shrinkage.
If you love "twinning", similar designs are available for men! Available in 6 sizes (from XS to 2XL).
A portion of proceeds goes towards Gumtree Greys who rescue and rehabilitate Greyhounds across Australia.
