Sausage dogs are taking the quirky world by storm!

I may earn a little commission from some of the links (if any) mentioned in this post at no extra cost to you.

Most people have a preference, they are either a cat person or a dog person. I am scared of dogs so I am a cat person by default, but, there is something about a funny-looking sausage dog that I just can’t resist, and whenever I see one, whether it be real or as a product, I can’t help myself from smiling.

This is a fun ‘theme’ to research and no doubt I’ll be adding to this post as I explore more funky websites. However, on Amazon alone, I have found masses of these adorable little pooches in an array of forms, from classy to crazy, they are there in abundance, and they look amazing.

I think a little bit of colour is needed on this post now don’t you? If you’re looking for a special gift for a special lady, this is stunning. Quirky and fun, the colours are out of this world, such a beautiful design. Very unusual and totally kooky with the top hat. A statement piece to be adored for years to come. This would make the plainest of outfits pop, a definite must-have for any sausage dog super fan.

This cast iron sausage dog toilet / kitchen roll holder is the bees knees. I would personally use it as a kitchen roll holder because it is so handy to have one and I don’t have one yet…on the wish list now for definite! It would stop the bottom of the roll getting soggy too I’d imagine and it just looks cool without being over the top.

And how about these funky sausage dogs nail files?! This particular listing is for one nail file, but I adore them, so colourful and pretty, I love the purple / blue one. Is anyone having a sausage dog themed wedding? These would make quirky little favours, it’s an unusual idea that’s for sure!

Speaking of weddings, the happy couple will of course need somewhere to keep their precious rings safe when they’re not wearing them. I love my stag ring holder, but how gorgeous is this sausage dog one?! It lends itself so well to this type of product. It’s stylish and is very elegant, it can sit quite comfortably in any environment as there’s no flamboyance here, it is subtle in it’s quirkiness.

I have noticed that sausage dogs are gaining momentum in the gift world at the moment, and they are starting to show up on everything! I have seen them on mugs, on jewellery, you name it they are there right in the thick of it, giving unicorns, llamas and flamingos a good run for their money! But can you get any more quirky than this…sausage dogs in your cocktails? yes please! I mean, who wants boring old cubes when you can have sausage-shaped dogs?! These would be fab for a fun sausage dog themed birthday party, young or old! I’m sure children would love using them as moulds for clay too.

Sticking with the party boys and girls theme, this is the type of gift I like to give. Practical and quirky! It is probably up there in the top 10 gifts you can give to men over and over again without it being weird. I have found some funky bottle openers in my day and Mr Quirky has been given quite a few as stocking fillers over the years, but I have never seen one shaped in this way before. The only thing that would make this sausage dog bottle opener more quirky would be if it was rainbow-coloured! This is one of my favourite things I’ve found so far.

This is a little bit of a cheeky addition to this post, but as you may know I do have my own online quirky gift shop too, and sausage dogs have started to find their way on to our little shop. I won’t be adding loads of links to my shop in this blog don’t worry, but there are some themes I just can’t go by without showing you what I have too. Sausage dogs is one of those themes and these salt and pepper sets are just awesome.

If I was to invest in a salt and pepper set, this sausage hot dog and mustard set would be my number one choice. It’s so funky and cute, and such a cool talking piece on the dinner table if you had guests! They would make fab new home or engagement gifts. Something fun but practical.

As sausage dogs, or dachshunds as they are sometimes called, gain popularity in the gift industry, I am bound to find more funky bits and bobs to add here so stay tuned!
