Looking for a gift for the pet lover in your life? Check out these creative, playful gifts that are perfect for both dogs and cats.
Around here we are allll about our cat, Thomas!
If you’re new here, Thomas is basically our second child. So it’s only natural for us to spoil him like crazy for Christmas, too.
Let’s just say Christmas is as exciting for him as it is for Gwen since his favorite thing in the entire world is to attack the Christmas tree every 5 seconds (see photo above).
Since we realize not everyone is just a cat lover, we put together a gift guide for pets that covers a little of everything (sans reptiles, sorry!). I literally want to use this color block food bowl for myself, haha!…
Also, if you love your parents who happen to be plant lovers, check out our Mother’s Day Gift Guide: Gifts & DIY’s For Plant Lovers, best for mom with a green thumb.
We’ve rounded up all our favorite cat and dog toys, accessories, and beyond!
