41 gifts for pets and the people who love them

ets can be a little like toddlers in that they’re known to play with (or in) the box the present comes in. But that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be indulged at the holidays with really great stuff. Cashmere sweater? French-style pet macarons? Nothing’s too good for the other pea in your quarantine pod. They haven’t left your side. Ever. So it’s time to lay on the holiday love. On a tight budget this year? Lots of folks are this year, so we have fun ideas for as little as $3.99.

Whether your heart belongs to a gentle giant of a dog or a tiny fluffball kitten, celebrate the interspecies bond you share with a token of your gratitude for their unconditional love. Oh, and we have really fun picks for the other pet lovers in your life too. If these gifts don’t strike your fancy, check out our roundups of gifts for her, gifts for him, practical gifts, Amazon 5-star gifts, top-rated Nordstrom gifts and gifts for everyone else.
