Gift pick No. 38: Janice Jordan felt dog ornaments

Most dog owners think their pooch is the absolute cutest, but then they haven’t met Janice Jordan’s dogs. The artist crafts tiny felt canines wrapped in dapper wintry scarves and offering the most beguiling, hopeful gazes.

What’s irresistible, beyond the oh-so-obedient sitting position and the fetching stick or candy cane clutched in the dogs’ mouths? How about fur coats that really do convey the personalities of different breeds (mixed or otherwise). The felt has been manipulated with such precision that each little ornament really does look like a tiny dog in the palm of your hand.

Jordan’s pack has made its temporary bed at Freehand Gallery in Los Angeles. Each sells for $32.
