Dogs and puppies are the most searched for item on TradeMe in the lead up to Christmas, and that's brought a warning from the website's spokesman.

Daniel Bridges says people should think carefully before giving a dog or cat as a gift - make sure the recipients really want one, and that they're well equipped to look after it.

Other than animals New Zealanders seem to be going back to basics this year.

Trampolines, tents, barbeques and bikes are in the top 10 searches, along with iphones and Lego.

New fads to hit the top 10 are Twilight stuff and Pandora jewellery.

Over two million people browsed TradeMe last week, up from 1.6 million this time last year.
