We help dog lovers celebrate their pups with customized gift sets and unique plush toys. It’s
our goal to make dog gift-giving fun, easy, and affordable!
Hi! We’re Allison and Mariana - dog moms, stuffed animal enthusiasts, and co-founders of Gift Spawt.
In 2016, our two cockapoos – both named Riley – became Valentines through Instagram.
Since we lived in different countries, it wasn’t possible to arrange an actual playdate. But we were
able to send gifts and care packages to help our dogs celebrate birthdays, holidays, and special
occasions together.
These small gestures not only made our dogs unbelievably happy, they also gave us the
opportunity to form a friendship.
About one year later, we decided to combine our passion for pups and plush dog toys into an Instagram account called Dogs with Stuffed Animals (@dogswithstuffedanimals).
Through this community, we connected with so many wonderful pet parents all over the world.
Like us, they were obsessed with their dogs (but really, who isn't?) and included them in every holiday and special occasion - Barkdays, Halloween, Christmas, Valentine's Day, and weddings.
They also had fun exchanging pawmail with dog friends for birthdays, holidays, cheer-ups, or just because.
We loved seeing all of the pawsitive vibes within this online community, but realized that there wasn’t an easy or convenient way to send gifts to Insta furiends.
That's when we thought, “What if friends could send each other gifts using just an Instagram username?”
In an effort to simplify the gift-giving process and spread more puppy love, we created Gift Spawt - A one-stop-shop for sending dog gifts, stuffed toys, and personalized care packages.
At Gift Spawt, we believe that dogs should be celebrated each and every day. We LOVE hearing our customer’s stories and seeing how our gifts have made your dog feel happy, excited, and adored.
