FAQs
If giving gifts to pet lovers this holiday season, they are likely to appreciate something that relates to their beloved companion animals. This opens up many possibilities, but narrowing down to the right choice can be a challenge. If you are drawing a blank, here are some pet-themed gifts for the animal lover on your list to help you spark some ideas.
1. Punny, Pet-Themed T-Shirts
Even non-pet lovers are likely to get the joke behind the Boxer Rocky T-shirt from The Mountain. It depicts a dog of the boxer breed posing with a pair of boxing gloves. This present might also go over well with movie fans, and if you have someone on your list who fits into both categories, you may have just found the perfect gift for that person.
2. Exercise Hip Pack for Dog Walking
Caring for a pet is deeply rewarding, but it can also be challenging. If you can give pet lovers on your list a gift that helps make their lives easier, they are sure to appreciate it.
For the dog lover on your list who is also a nature or fitness enthusiast, consider the RC Pet Horizon Human Hip Pack. It is made of water-resistant fabric and has pouches to hold water bottles and pockets to hold poop bags so your loved one can take a dog on long walks or runs. There is a buckle to attach to a dog's leash which can release quickly and safely in case of emergencies.
3. "Hair of the Dog" Mug
A great gift for the dog lover on your list who likes to relax with a beverage at the end of the day. This set from Pearhead includes a glass mug that says "hair of the dog" and a dog toy shaped like a mug of beer. If you don't get the reference, an old folk remedy for a hangover was "hair of the dog that bit you," i.e., a little sip of whatever drink you had the night before.
4. Photo Tree Ornament
This Santa's Little Helper tree ornament is a frame for a photograph of your loved one's beloved pet. The recipient can choose a favorite 3-inch by 3-inch photo of a dog or cat. Alternatively, if you happen to have a photo of the pet, you can insert it yourself before gifting. In either case, this gift ensures that pets remain part of your family's holiday celebration for many years to come.
5. Crazy Dog/Crazy Dog Mom T-Shirt Set
This is a matching T-shirt set for both dog and pet parent. The canine T-shirt says "Crazy Dog," while the human T-shirt says, "Crazy Dog Mom." This is sure to elicit a good laugh from the recipient, your family, and passersby who see the pair wearing their shirts together. There is also a "Crazy Dog Dad" set available.
6. Grumpy Cat Mug
Grumpy Cat, aka Tardar Sauce, became an internet sensation when a member of her owner's family posted a picture of her on Reddit in 2012. A form of feline dwarfism and a pronounced underbite gave her a perpetually frowny-looking expression, perfect for memes expressing humorously negative thoughts.
Even following Tardar Sauce's death in 2019 at the age of 7, Grumpy Cat images are still making people smile. This Petrageous Grumpy Cat mug bearing her likeness makes a great gift for cat lovers, Grumpy Cat fans, and people who need a little extra motivation in the morning. It's not just for decoration; it is microwave- and dishwasher-safe and complies with FDA regulations for human consumption.
7. Knit Shih Tzu Tree Ornament
This Shih Tzu tree ornament from Chilly Dog is made with hand-knitted wool. The effect is one of surprising realism. Anyone who loves small dogs would be happy to receive this exquisite little ornament on the tree and treasure it as a keepsake for many years to come.
8. Breed-Specific Gift Box
People who really love their pets often want to share that love with the world. This Dog Breed Gift Box from Imagine This makes it easy for dog lovers in your life to brag about their favorite breed or breeds. In addition to signs, magnets, and decals, this set includes a human T-shirt that says "Property of a spoiled rotten" and then whichever breed you choose.
9. Pet Stocking
When you give this gift, you make it easier for your family to include pets in the celebration. This is an 18" pet stocking from Huxley and Kent that bears the festive saying: "Hairy, Merry, & Bright." There is a built-in photo frame so you can show Santa who's a good boy or girl.
10. Pearhead Holiday Socks
Pearhead offers a line of socks for humans depicting dogs in cute holiday poses. For example, one style features cartoon corgis wearing reindeer antlers and coming out of gift boxes to say hello and happy holidays! These cute, cozy socks are machine washable and made of breathable cotton.
11. Sandicast Tree Ornaments of Dogs in Miniature
Sandicast offers a line of hand-painted, realistic-looking tree ornaments featuring dogs of all breeds with holiday-themed accoutrements. There are ornaments depicting many different breeds available, including a corgi carrying a stocking, a Labrador retriever wearing a scarf, and a dachshund wearing a Santa hat. The attention to detail brings each of these heartwarming pieces to life.
Holidays are a time to celebrate family. Showing loved ones that you appreciate their four-legged, furry family members means so much.
