Last Minute Gift Ideas For Pet Lovers At Christmas

The vast majority of people who have pets love their pets. But most of us also know that one person who really loves their pet. It’s the type of love that many people often attribute to being reserved for parents and their human children, but their furry children are just as important! 

If you’re really wracking your brain, trying to come up with that  perfect gift  for the person on your list who really loves their furry friend,  Paw & Glory  is here with assistance for you! We’ve got a list of  great petgift ideas  that will hopefully help you find the most “wow” worthy gift out there.

Gifts Specifically for Cat Lovers

When people think of  pet lovers,  most of them immediately picture  dog lovers.  They’re by far the most visible of the pet owners out there since many people don’t walk their cats out in public spaces (although some do!). That’s why we wanted to start with some  gift ideas  for cat lovers, as they often get left out of the picture.

The obvious choice is to buy them a gift that has cats on it. There are plenty of options in today’s gift market, especially only, so you can really customize it to be unique for the person that you’re gifting to. Wallets, shoes, notebooks, pens—anything can be made with a cat on it. At Paw and Glory we know this to be true but have taken customisation to the next level with our  custom pet portraits.

If the person you are buying for would rather you give a gift to their cat than to them. These selfless individuals enjoy seeing their cat comfortable and happy, and that means much more to them than getting the gift themselves. 

If that sounds like the cat lover on your list, there are definitely ways to buy gifts that honour that desire. For instance, both cats and their owners love warm,  comfortable blankets.  Why not get them  one with their cat on it? Everyone wins, and the snuggles will multiply. We think that’s one of the best parts of having a pet anyway. Our  custom pet blankets  are high quality and the perfect excuse to cosy up with your cat on Boxing Day. 

Gifts For Dog Lovers

For whatever reason, there are far more gifts for dog lovers out there than there are gifts for any other type of  pet owner.  That may be due to the fact that there are simply more dog owners out there than cat owners or that dog owners just tend to be more visible and vocal. Whatever the reason, if you’re looking for a  unique gift  for that dog lover in your life… look no further!

One of our favourite gift ideas, which is particularly good for the dog mums on your shopping list, is a  custom pet phone case.  If you’re shopping more for a “dog dad,” there are also plenty of options including a mug, throw or pet portrait.

Gifts For “Non-Traditional” Pet Owners

If you’re shopping for someone that isn’t a cat or a dog lover, you may be worried that you’ll never be able to find the  perfect, customized gift.  But never fear… we promised to help, and we’ve got ideas!

The first place to start is by looking at the type of pet they have. There are plenty of different non-traditional pets, like chinchillas, birds, fish, and even turtles! In fact, rabbits are nearly as popular as cats and dogs now. Take some time to learn a little bit about what the pet is and what its needs are. For instance, did you know that you can  actually take a rabbit for a walk?  What you learn may surprise you, and it will definitely help you get a better idea of the gift category you should be looking into. 

For the non-traditional pet owners on your list, we love the idea of  creating a custom phone case.  Many of these pet owners can’t show their pet off the same way that dog and cat owners can, and having a  phone case  with their photo on it gives them a way to showcase how much they love their pet without having to take them out of their home environment. Pet owners love to brag, and this is the perfect way for them to do it without them needing to be so obvious about it.

Just because their pet is “non-traditional” doesn’t mean that they don’t also like the more  traditional gifts  out there, too. No matter what their pet is,  custom pet portraits  are the  perfect gift  for any pet owner and lover. When you go out of your way to have a  personalized pet portrait  created, whether that is for their favourite fluffy puppy or their brilliantly coloured macaw, you’re really giving them a gift that lasts for a lifetime. 

We’re also big fans of  customized coffee mugs  for any pet owner. Coffee mugs can be used with nearly any beverage, hot or cold, so those who don’t drink caffeine don’t have to miss out. Just find a clear picture of their pet, taken from the front, and upload it to our site.  Choose from one of our many styles,  and we’ll do the rest of the work. 

We recommend giving the mug to them in a gift basket that you’ve put together yourself, with local coffees and teas or even hot chocolate mixes. It makes for a great visual, it’s fun to give, and they’ll appreciate all the thought you put into it.

Paw and Glory  would love to help, which is why we offer custom pet portraits that can be created with any species of pet in mind. From turtles to cats and even chinchillas, we can make a piece of artwork that they’ll cherish for years to come.
