Murphy’s Official Holiday Gift Guide
From your Chief Fun Officer at Captured Moments 🎾
Hi frens!
Murphy here — Chief Fun Officer, Professional Ball Chaser, Blanket Dragger, and Full-Time Mama’s Boy (don’t tell Dad). I’ve been working very hard (napping, sniffing boxes, doing quality-control squeaks) to bring you the ultimate list of gifts your pup is guaranteed to love.
These are my Top 3 Murphy-Approved Favorites — tested, reviewed, and slobbered on personally by me.
(You're welcome.)
1️⃣ The Nubby Squeaky Ball of Pure Joy
#1 Forever. No notes.
If you only buy one thing from this list, this is it. This nubby ball is my life. My passion. My reason for waking Mama up at 6:12 a.m. (and she is NOT a morning person).
It squeaks. It bounces. It has tiny bumps that make it extra fun to chomp. Mama keeps backups in the house because I am a responsible dog who plans ahead… and also because I tend to lose one under the couch approximately every 36 hours.
2️⃣ BarkBox Subscription
(The Monthly Box of “GOOD BOY, MURPHY!”)
Listen. BarkBox is like Christmas but EVERY. SINGLE. MONTH.
Sometimes there are balls. Sometimes there are toys shaped like snacks that I chase around like a genius. Every BarkBox comes with cookies, so I immediately activate my Very Good Manners™ to secure them as quickly as possible.
But honestly? If a box shows up with a ball inside, the serotonin boost I get could power the entire Emerald Coast.

3️⃣ Hide & Seek Plush Toys
These are SO. MUCH. FUN.
The small toys inside the big toy? Those are my JAM. I yank them out dramatically and scatter them across the house for maximum enrichment… and human inconvenience.
A Final Woof from Your CFO
If you’re shopping for a pup this season, pick anything from my list and trust me — tails will wag, zoomies will occur, snuggles will be delivered.
And Mama says I have to add this part:
Some of these links are affiliate links — which means if you shop through them, it helps fund my nubby-ball addiction at no extra cost to you.
(I think that’s a win-win.)
Thanks for reading my guide! Now… who wants to play fetch?
Love & slobbery squeaks,
Murphy
