Welcome to The Occam Gift Guide!
A curated list of all my favourite small businesses to shop from this Christmas or next time you need a cute gift idea!
Kicking off with one of my favourite jewellery brands The Workbench. Their ring making kit gives you the opportunity to be a jewellery designer at home. This year they launched a special pet imprint kit as seen above! This would make a fantastic and unique gift for a loved one or an activity to do as a family or a couple!
Kirstie who is one half of The Workbench has a very sweet whippet called Fennel and she's kindly offered you 15% off with the code OCCAM15 at checkout!
This Christmas you could commission Kitty to draw your dog. Kitty is an incredibly talented artist and her level of skill is insane! Just look at Gizmo above! Kitty's website sells original drawings and celebration cards too!
Kitty and her whippet Marge have very kindly gifted Occam followers 15% off with code OCCAM at checkout.
Rachael Claire - Certified Dog Behaviourist, Separation anxiety Specialism
This might be the most practical and thoughtful gift on this list?! Racheal Claire specialises in separation anxiety - I don't know many sighthounds without it! But imagine starting the New Year with a plan to help both you and your dog enjoy life better!
Rachael is an accredited behaviourist who works predominantly online so this is a perfect gift for anyone anywhere. Rachael just launched an online course to help those suffering with separation anxiety and is very kindly giving Occam followers £30 off the first month, making it just £17!
Brindle & Whyte - Sighthound Collars
I get a lot of questions about sighthound collars and these are the best in the business. They wash well (fox poo IYKYK) and withstand the test of time. I've had Seymour's for maybe 5 years and he wears in everyday!
Anya at Brindle & Whyte has very kindly gifted you 10% off collars and leads on her website - use OCCAMCHRISTMAS at checkout (offer ends 28th December)
Scouts Honour - Merit Badges For Dogs
Scouts Honour's merit badges make the perfect stocking filler as there's something for everyone! Having recently launched a line for felines there's something for your Cats on Christmas day too!
Claire the founder has very kindly gifted Occam readers 15% off using code Occam15 at checkout.

Brooke and her whippet Ralf make these special pet tags, each one is completely unique as they are hand carved. Brooke can carve anything you like on the front, including little illustrations.
Unfortunately we're too late to get one of these in time for Christmas as they are only available once a month but you can buy a gift card for one!
There's no end to Polly's talents, she makes ceramics, lampshades, wallpaper, cushions! You name it Polly does it! She's got two whippets named Cedric & Edgar and so coincidentally whippet's feature highly in her work.
Polly makes a batch of ceramic tree decorations once a year, including whippet ones! Of course they sold out immediately but the ceramics above are still available for someone lucky in your life!
Maybe there's whippet in your family that doesn't have an Occam coat yet? Or someone is struggling to know what to get you for Christmas? What about an Occam gift card?
I am planning a new batch of Fluffy Sheep's to ship in January, imagine that to look forward to when it's gloomy and cold outside!
