Do you know a groomer? Maybe they’re your sibling, or maybe a friend, or maybe you’re an astronomically generous client during the holidays. Sometimes it can be difficult to figure out what to gift them. Worry no more! I’m here to help! We’re going to go over the ten best gifts for groomers, ranging from grooming accessories to life essentials! (and don’t worry, links are included!)
- Hair Resistant Leggings
These are something relatively new but their immaturity does not equate their effectiveness. There are a few brands out there, varying in prices from $40 to $99! I have not yet had the chance to try these babies out, but they have rave reviews.
- Wide blades
Another newbie – these come in many different sizes. When grooming you typically need regular blades and snap on combs! Luckily there are wide blade versions of both! I will list below which ones you need!
The most common blades that can be used stand alone and would be used frequently are; #4, #5, and #7 blades. If you’re a go big or go home kinda person, you could always get a 30 blade and snap on combs OR you could get the 30 blade and snap on combs together! This can be a little more pricey but hey, I’m not judgin’. The blades linked above are all the lower price version of each blade or comb set and are linked from both AGS and Zolitta. I have heard great things from both! (not one complaint honestly.)
- A Massage
I feel like this one is pretty self explanatory 😉 We are on our feet all day and constantly working our body! What better gift than the gift of relaxation!
- Gift Cards
With this one – the opportunities are endless! Need some direction? Here are a few ideas that any groomer would enjoy!
- Amazon
- Food (bonus points if they deliver)
- Dinner
- Grooming accessories (more info about these at the bottom!)
- Ryan’s Pet Supplies
- Grocery Store
- Liquor store (am i joking? maybe… maybe not…)
- Products
This section is about to be a detailed one! I’m gonna list quite a few products so hang on tight!
- iGroom Magic Boost Scissoring spray
- iGroom Deshedding and Detangling Shampoo
- Show Season Speed Dry
- Artero MattX
- Les Pooch Degrease
- Brush or Comb
My absolute favorite and number one recommendation brush-wise is going to be Chris Christensen Big G Large Slicker. I’ve also heard good things about this funky drying brush. I’ve heard it’s great for those dogs that don’t tolerate facial drying. As for combs – you can’t go wrong with any from Utsumi.
- Food or coffee
This one doesn’t require too much explanation either. I know the holidays are crazy so sometimes it’s nice to be surprised with a snack or some coffee. It really just is another level of happiness when someone was thinking about you enough to stop for a gift on their way to you!
- Shears
So with shears, there is a wide range in pricing. Some are quite cheap (with reason) and some can be over $300. What I’m going to do is list a couple sites that have great shears. Practically anything from the sites below will be worth it!

- Apparel
Things like aprons and smocks are wonderful as well! Great ones can be purchased through LadyBird and Max and Molly! I’ve also heard a lot of good things from groomers in regards to Crocs as well! Last but not least in the apparel zone – hair ties! You know, scrunchies or pony tail holders? I can never have enough of these!
- Dog Accessorizing
This one is one of my favorites, really. In my mind, accessories are anything from bowties, neck ties, bandanas, bows, nail polishing, hair feathers, really anything that adds a little flare to your groom. Personally I love getting bows from Bardel Bows, I’ve heard lots of good things in regards to DMK Bowtique as well! DMK has some really cute nail wraps too! I love anything color from Opawz. If the groomer you know is a creative one, I’m certain they’d love anything from these sellers!
Hopefully this list helped you figure out how to find the best gift for the groomer you know! Maybe not, maybe you’re a groomer that wants to get the good stuff this year 😉 Go ahead and share. Maybe you’ll finally get those shears you’ve been waiting for.
