Have a friend who thinks their dog is curvy russian mature sex videosa star?
Well, your friend is right. All dogs were born to be celebrities. (If they don't want to be one, don't make them, though.) And this holiday season, you can get in on the ground floor of the fabled dog influencer journey by giving them a gift they'll actually use.
Operating a pet account that's actually successful (never mind profitable) requires a lot of work, quite a bit of luck, and maybe an agent, but aspiring stars will also need some supplies to get started. Want to help them with the basics? Consider a pretty backdrop or a pet selfie tool to set up their first few shots. More interested in something sort of unhinged but extremely memorable? Have we got the bright fuchsia dog bed for you.

Original image has been replaced. Credit: Mashable This absolutely unhinged dog bowl from a website called "Glamour Mutt" is a perfect fit for anyone who wants their dog to be French royalty. Is it a little expensive for a dog bowl? Yes. But French royalty would have spent more on their dog bowls, so this is actually a good deal.
Price: $39.99 on Glamour Mutt
4. Trendy dog toys

Our personal favorite is this thing called Monsieur Acorn, which appears to be a French acorn. (Pairs well with the fleur-de-lis bowl!)

Price: $99.95 on Amazon

7. Fuchsia velvet dog bed
Original image has been replaced. Credit: Mashable OK, yes, this glamorous fuchsia velvet dog bed costs $291. But we had to have at least one item on this list that's completely off the rails. Plus it's from a dog-themed retailer called Bitch New York, so how could you go wrong?

8. Bubble pet carrier
Original image has been replaced. Credit: Mashable This bubble carrier is marketed for cats, but it could fit a small dog just as easily. We'd suggest using it for travel shots. You know, like, a person is facing away from the camera, looking back, with a weird little dog peering out from the bubble. Gorgeous!
Price: $37.99 on Amazon
9. Felt letter board
Original image has been replaced. Credit: Mashable A changeable felt letter board is the perfect surface for displaying incredibly corny dog puns alongside a famous pooch. Here's one idea: "Welcome to my paw-fice." Or how about "Thanks 'fur' the perfect gift!"
Price: $27.27
10. Pool float for dogs
Original image has been replaced. Credit: Mashable Influencers love pool floats. This one is puncture-resistant and has a soft upper layer to make it a little more comfortable for pups. Plus it's an adorable paw shape, which will really pop on the grid. It also flips over and turns into a drink holder for some reason? Whatever, we love versatility.
Price: $29.99 on Amazon
11. "My dog is Instafamous" T-shirt

12. Tropical backdrop
Original image has been replaced. Credit: Mashable OK, this is not for dogs specifically, but wouldn't dogs look cute in front of this? Wearing Margaritaville outfits? With sunglasses on? And the photo has the caption "vacation mood?" It's just a suggestion.
Price: $7.99 at Party City
13. Starbucks gift card
You could do a Cheesecake Factory gift card, but it wouldn't make as much sense. Credit: Corbis via Getty Images You might think a Starbucks gift card is the most boring gift imaginable, and you are right. But hear us out: It's also perfect for a dog/human influencer team. Why? Your human friend can pump their bodies with caffeine to fuel their high-intensity IG shoots, and their dog can get a puppuccino, which looks great in photos and vids. Win-win!
