A puppy on the tree, where a real one would only cause trouble. This is the dog from Legami's Oh-Oh-Ohrnaments — a range of plush decorations made to do the job of a bauble without any of the risk that comes with hanging glass at tail height.
He's around 9cm and 24 grams, the heaviest of the characters we've taken in, with a stretchy 95% polyester and 5% elastane outer over soft polyester fibre and a ribbon loop stitched in. Solid enough in the hand to feel properly made rather than flimsy.
Animal decorations are the ones people buy for someone specific rather than for the tree in general, and the dog is reliably the first to go. It's the standard answer to the friend who talks about their dog more than their family, and a dog-shaped ornament is a far better bet than another mug with a paw print on it.
Worth knowing: if the household actually contains a dog, a plush ornament is the sensible choice anyway — nothing to break, nothing sharp if it ends up on the floor. Come and see which characters we've got at 22 Burgate in Canterbury, or order online for UK delivery.

FAQ
Is it safe if we have a dog in the house?
It's shatterproof, so nothing breaks if it's knocked off the tree. It is not a dog toy though — it's a decoration, and it shouldn't be chewed. Hang it higher up if your dog is the investigating type.
How big is it?
Roughly 9cm in each direction, so about the size of a satsuma and bigger than most photographs suggest.
Will it survive a fall?
Yes. Soft all the way through, with nothing to chip or crack.
Can I collect the whole range?
There are several Oh-Oh-Ohrnaments characters. We carry a selection and it changes through the season, so it's worth asking what's in.
Does it make a good gift?
It's the easy present for a dog owner — small, personal and not another mug.
Care
- Surface clean only — do not machine wash
- Keep away from open flames and lit candles
- Store flat or loosely boxed so the plush doesn't crush
- Decorative item, not a toy — and not a pet toy
