Everyone has that person on their list who talks about their pets like their kids, shares every cute photo and plans their weekends around their dog. Good news: they’re one of the easiest people to shop for.
Here are 12 gift ideas for the pet lovers in your life.
1. A Custom Pet Portrait
A painting or illustration of their pet is a gift they’ll keep forever. Many artists can work from a favorite photo.
2. A Personalized Ornament
An ornament with their pet’s name or photo makes a sweet addition to the Christmas tree year after year.
3. A Pet Photo Calendar
Gather a year’s worth of their best pet photos and turn them into a calendar. It’s a gift they’ll smile at every single month.
4. A Cozy Throw Blanket
A soft, washable blanket for the couch is a gift for both of them. Look for one that hides fur or can go straight in the washer.
5. A Pet Camera
For the pet parent who worries while they’re at work, a camera that lets them check in (and sometimes toss a treat) is a big hit.
6. An Engraved ID Tag
A sturdy, stylish ID tag is practical and personal. Add their pet’s name and a phone number.
7. A Subscription Box
Monthly boxes of toys and treats are fun for the pet and fun for the owner to open. Many let you choose based on size or chewing style.
8. A Mug or Tumbler With Their Pet’s Face
It’s a little silly and they’ll love it. Their morning coffee just got a lot cuter.
9. A Paw Print Keepsake Kit
Clay or ink kits let them capture their pet’s paw print. It’s especially meaningful for families with older pets.
10. A Professional Grooming Session
A gift card to a local groomer gives their pet a spa day and gives them a break from bath time.
11. A Pet-Themed Book
A heartwarming memoir, a funny cartoon collection or a practical training guide all make great gifts for animal lovers.
12. A Donation in Their Pet’s Name
For the person who has everything, a donation to a local shelter or rescue in their pet’s honor is a gift that helps animals still waiting for a home.
Don’t forget the pet
Tuck a small toy or a bag of treats in with your gift. Nothing makes a pet parent happier than seeing their furry family member get spoiled too.
