Christmas gifts for pet lovers
The best Christmas gifts for dog and cat lovers are about their own pet: a custom portrait, a video starring their animal, a paw print keepsake, or a treat box for the pet. If you're short on time, a digital gift can be scheduled to arrive on Christmas morning.

The ideas
- 1.
A custom video starring their pet
See this videoSend 5 to 10 photos of their pet and we make a short video of them in a snowy holiday scene with your message on the closing card. It arrives by email on the day you choose, with a private page to watch, download and share. Made with AI, checked by a person, and remade free if it doesn't look like their pet.
- 2.
A custom pet portrait
A painted or illustrated portrait of their pet. Order early: most painted portraits take two to four weeks.
- 3.
An ornament with their pet's name
A personalized ornament they'll hang every year. Engraved wood and ceramic both hold up well.
- 4.
A subscription treat box
A monthly box of treats and toys for the pet. Good for owners who already have everything.
- 5.
A photo book of the year
Pull the best pet photos from their phone, or ask a family member, and print a small book of the year.
- 6.
A cozy matching set
A blanket or sweater for the owner and a matching bandana for the dog. Silly, warm, very photographable.
- 7.
A donation in the pet's name
A gift to a local shelter or rescue in their pet's name, with a printed card to open on the day.
- 8.
A professional pet photo session
A gift card for a local pet photographer. Book it for spring when the light is better.
How to pick
If they talk about their pet constantly, get something with that specific pet in it. Generic paw-print mugs are the gifts that end up in a cupboard. If Christmas is close, choose something digital or local, since most custom physical gifts need weeks.
How it works
- 1
Pick a template and check out
Birthday, holiday card, dance, action scene or a gentle memorial. All we need up front is your pet's name.
- 2
Add 5 to 10 photos
Right after checkout. Phone photos are fine: a few of their face, a couple of their whole body.
