Sometimes the whole joke is the hat. A bright pink dragonfruit sitting on a patient dog's head does everything a full costume would do for a party photograph, at a fraction of the fuss and with none of the wrestling that comes with getting four legs into a suit. It goes on in a second, and it comes off just as fast, which is the honest measure of a good novelty piece.

Because it covers only the head, nothing presses on the chest or restricts the shoulders, and a dog can move about entirely normally while wearing it. That makes it a reasonable choice for animals who have already refused anything with sleeves. The shape is unmistakably dragonfruit, in the pink and green the fruit is known for, and it is bright enough to read clearly in a photograph taken across a room.

• Dragonfruit-shaped novelty hat

Two things worth knowing. It is listed in one size only, with no measurements published, so message us with the size of your pet before ordering and we will tell you honestly whether we think it will sit properly. And a hat is a photograph, not an evening. Most animals shake a headpiece off in short order. Supervised wear only, and never leave it on unattended.

Who it's for: Owners who want a quick, cheap and genuinely funny photograph, especially of a pet who has already rejected proper costumes.
