Welcome to the 2025 holiday edition of our Annual Gift Guide - carefully curated for the style-conscious pet owner seeking premium, purposeful, and beautifully designed presents.
This year, we’ve selected five standout gifts, ranging from affordable stocking-stuffers to a truly treat-worthy splurge for your fluffy bestie.
1. The Sweet Gift: ST ARGO x Hotel Indigo Gingerbread Treats
Start with something delightful and unexpected: our exclusive seasonal gingerbread dog treats. These are crafted with whole ingredients (pear, apple, cinnamon, oat & chia seeds) in small batches, designed to feel like a refined little edible present rather than a generic dog biscuit.
Gifting tip: Place a pack of these gingerbread treats beside a Christmas bandana (see item 2) for a smart “look + snack” duo.
Where to Purchase: Online at: www.st-argo.com or at your stay at Hotel Indigo.
2. Cheeky Style Accessory: The Reversible Bandanas
Next, elevate your pet’s wardrobe with the ST ARGO reversible bandana.
On one side says 'Naughty', but simply flip if your pooch is playing 'Nice'.
Santa needs to know.
Why it stands out:
Functional: reversible means twice the wear.
Fashion-forward: worthy of the design-led pet lifestyle.
High Quality: Double lined and made from 100% cotton for breathability and a luxurious hand-feel.
3. Colour-Story Gift Sets: Ruby Red & Bottle Green Ranges
For gift-giving with impact, our Ruby Red and Bottle Green collections bring together accessories and treats into coordinated gifting sets. Think: a bottle-green collar, matching leash, a pack of gingerbread treats, all packaged in luxurious christmas-green wrapping with a velvet green ribbon.
Why this is elegant:
Colour-story creates a luxury feel - think J.Crew Christmas.
Gift tip: Position these sets as ideal for clients, friends or loved ones who already have several pet-accessories and deserve something curated and special. These are holiday-worthy, “wow” gifts without going overboard.
4. The Premium Present: Barney Bed
For the gift recipient who really wants to go above and beyond, consider the luxurious Barney Bed - an orthopaedic dog bed that meshes comfort and high-end aesthetics. Plush materials, thoughtful tailoring, and design-conscious finishes mean this is more furniture-piece than basic dog bed.
Why this is the “investment gift”:
High-quality craftsmanship
Long-lived: this bed will serve for years, making it a meaningful gift rather than impulse buy.
Visual impact: placed in living spaces, it signals intentional design for the whole home (including the pet).
Gift tip: Suggest pairing the Barney Bed with the bottle-green or ruby-red bandana from our range, so the pet has matching bedding and a bandana for an integrated look.
5. The Personal Gift: Personalised ID Tag
Finally, for the pet owner who embraces their dog's individuality, why not gift them with a Christmas ID tag?
Why include this:
Festive, functional and fun
Gift tip: Choose an ID tag that matches the colour palette of your Christmas theme this year: e.g., a vibrant bottle-green or bright ruby-accented float.
Buying Guide & Gift-Curation Tips
Layer your options: Combine one smaller gift (gingerbread treats + bandana) with a mid (colour-story set) or high-end piece (Barney Bed) depending on budget.
Match aesthetics: Ensure colour-stories align. If selecting the bottle-green range, keep other accessories consistent; avoid clashing bold prints.
Personalise with presentation: Consider a minimalist gift wrap (monochrome, brown paper with string) to elevate the experience.
