As proud cat parents, we make sure to provide a series of gifts suitable for all kinds of purring

Choosing the perfect gift for a friend or family member can be difficult unless they are very enthusiastic about something, whether it's technology, games, or everything related to coffee.

If someone on your Christmas shopping list believes in the philosophy of cats rule and dogs drooling (sorry, dog party people), then you have come to the right place, because we have found some serious gift ideas.

Few things inspire the happiness of cat parents more than cat-themed gifts, which means there are many options to choose from, whether you want to dress them, decorate their home, or want to eat.

Needless to say, most cat owners will also be ecstatic about any gifts that make their furry friends happy, so all kinds of kitten gifts will definitely be popular, from more practical gifts (such as a comfortable bed) To interesting toys and accessories.

As a proud cat parent, we make sure to provide a series of gifts that can meet various needs and budgets, evaluate the quality and fun factors of each item, and give extra points in terms of practicality and personalization.

We also commissioned our own feline tester Babushka to provide a test gift specially designed for cats. As a notoriously unpleasant kitten, you can rest assured that before listing this list, any featured items will be Stretch out two paws.

Nothing can compare to packages full of goodies delivered directly to your door every month. For those who have been looking for new toys and snacks for their cats (and themselves), Gus & Bella The box is a good choice. You can choose to buy a disposable box or sign up for a monthly subscription (can be cancelled at any time), each with a unique theme and full of items that help connect the cat with its owner. Surprise, surprise, and the December box are all about the most wonderful time of the year, Christmas, it did not disappoint. Inside, you will find many snacks designed to fill your cat with a festive atmosphere, including cat bites Christmas tree toys-our testers quickly smelled-fluffy blankets, high-quality cat food and dental snacks. Humans also have many delicious things, such as cat-shaped felt tree decorations, cat-themed Christmas cards and biscuits and creamy popcorn.

Celebrate the most important family members in your family with this personalized stocking, which can be hung up and ready to be opened on Christmas morning. There are 15 pet illustrations to choose from, including Russian blue and tabby cats, and personalization couldn't be easier-you just need to select the images that are most similar to your feline friends and enter their names. The stockings themselves are made of sturdy canvas material with two red hanging loops, which can be pulled together to be hung on the mantelpiece. It is also large in size and has enough space for your cat to enjoy festive treats, from catnip toys to dreamies.

Cats like to relax and nap. As professional recliners, they are known to live in the most inconvenient places for comfort, from your laptop to a pile of newly folded clothes. If you know a cat who needs a comfortable shelter, consider this very stylish pet bed, which will surely please cats and their design-conscious owners. This bed was created in collaboration with Insta’s most popular interior brand Poodle & Blonde. It is designed to look like a miniature sofa (you can even buy its live version-£449, Made.com), covered with The brand's "bellissima curve" print is decorated with two-tone terracotta wavy lines on a neutral base. We also like it very much, just like a real sofa, it has golden brass legs and raised sides to make sure your kitten feels safe. Our tester may be particularly picky about the bed, but to our delight, she immediately lived on her brand new sofa, and since then, it has become her favorite place to take a nap. It's more expensive than most cat beds, that's for sure, but considering that the cost of getting rid of the territorial war with pets is very small.

Best: Suitable for adventurous indoor cats

If, like our testers, your feline friend is an indoor cat, as long as there is time to be outdoors, they will become escape artists, which may be exactly what you need. Whether you are taking them for a short walk or strolling in the garden, the braces allow your cat to explore the world in a safer way and give you peace of mind. We especially like this one from Supakit because it is made of soft leather and is designed to fit your cat's body for extra comfort. The quality is amazing and we like that only one buckle can be fastened, which means it is easy to put on and take off. The harness is also available in a variety of colors and three sizes, with four fully adjustable shoulder straps to ensure that it fits any size kitten. Designed for use with belts, you can use your own belt, but if not, you can choose to add matching leather (30 pounds, Supakit.co) or stretchable leather (29 pounds, Supakit.co) to your order.

Best: Suitable for people who drink tea and coffee

This cup from British ceramic designer Emma Bridgewater did not disappoint. It is beautifully hand-painted, colorful cats chase small green butterflies, and we like the thick design, which makes it perfect for everything from coffee and hot chocolate to cups of soup. Although we found this half-pint size to be just right, the good news is that for those who like larger cups, it can also be purchased in a larger pint version. It also gets extra personalization points from us, because you can choose to paint a name or statement of up to 27 characters on the front.

Best: Suitable for sweet tooth lovers

Do your recipients who are obsessed with cats like sweets? Then we found the hospitality. Founded by Jamie Laing of Made in Chelsea in 2012, Candy Kittens makes cat head-shaped "gummy candies". It can be said that we have been completely obsessed with them because they not only look cute, but also taste delicious. Although we are the most My favorite flavor is "cherry", but we recommend giving selected ones to those who haven't tried it yet-seriously, where did they go? ——Just like this box, there are five bags of candy kitty fan favorites—sour watermelon, wild strawberry, cherry flavor, tropical mango and Eden. The best part? All candies of this brand are vegan, except Eaton College, because the formula uses beeswax-however, they are still suitable for vegetarians.

What is better than a family game night? Of course, you can play cat-themed games in it. A hungry hippo and pinball mix and match, the box unfolds, revealing a rainbow arena with a huge cat head in the center. When playing the game, you only need to grab four balls and a magnetic cat's claw, and then frantically eject them from the cat's mouth to the opponent's side of the board. To win, you need to place all eight balls on the other side, or remove each ball that represents the cat’s nose or teeth. Very addictive and highly competitive, we like that you can play in tournament mode with at least two players or in groups, and it is suitable for 4 year olds, which means the whole family can participate.

Whether they are in school, need a new place to write a diary or like to jot down things to do, a good notebook is a daily necessity, but it doesn't mean they must be boring. We like this weird leopard print design. It was created by Dutch illustrator Bodil Jane. It has 96 pages, which means there is enough space for notes or drawings. There are many ways to make it more personalized-you can choose paperback or hardcover, lined paper, plain paper or dotted paper, and you can even customize the front text to add the recipient's name or special quotation.

The famous artist Andy Warhol didn’t know enough about cats—in fact, he owned 25 cats in the 1950s and 1960s, all of which were named Sam, only Except for one Hester. It was during this period that Warhol created a series of ink cat portraits, including this portrait called "Pink Sam", which we think is a valuable gift for any art lover. It is very suitable to add a touch of bright color to your decoration. It is printed on high-quality graphic paper and comes with thick window frames and frames of your choice, including black stained ash, natural oak, gray ash, black and white satin — -All of them are made of responsibly sourced wood. All kinds of not to love?

Get ready to win the "Best Performance Award" as a gift with this luxurious pajama. Provided by British designer and illustrator Karen Mabon, this set is cut from organic cotton, presents a soft lavender hue, and is decorated with luxurious prints, showing various cats competing with each other in a series of colorful rosettes . The button-down top has long sleeves, white piping and Peter Pan collar, while the straight-leg pants have convenient pockets and a drawstring waist for more comfort. We also like that pajamas come in many sizes, from XS (UK6-8) to 5XL (UK24-26). Although they are almost too fashionable to wear on the bed, they have become our favorite pair of jams.

If the person you are buying for has a cat who doesn't like to hug, then this comfortable cushion will be a great alternative to a sofa. It was designed in collaboration with London-based artist illustrator James Daw. It features his "Big Cat Does Not Cry" pattern, which includes two wild cats, which are leaning against a pink, crimson, and bright green front panel, while the back is covered Dressed in dark green velvet with matching tassels. It is 45 cm long and is ideal for adding texture to any room. It can be placed on a sofa, bed or armchair for many years.

Best: For happy pet owners

Pet parents like to take photos of their cats most, but it can be a challenge to try to take a photo that is not blurry or that only captures the tip of their tail. Fortunately, we have found a way to help you get the photos you need. This accessory is perfect for attracting your cat’s attention. It can be easily clipped to your phone and has fluffy colored pompoms (pink, white or purple to choose from) that seductively bounce from flexible wires. Moreover, it does work. Our test cat became interested in it as soon as she opened the phone holder and encouraged her to look directly at the camera to ensure that she could take pictures worthy of Insta every time.

Biscuiteers is famous for its hand-iced biscuits. These biscuits come in various shapes and sizes for any occasion, and this "cool cat" option is a great gift for gourmets and cat lovers. Packed in a souvenir metal tin with cute illustrations of kittens playing with a ball of yarn, there are 11 lemon biscuits inside, including five cats, a bottle of milk and a pet bowl. In addition to being a very delicious snack, we also like that canned food can be reused to store everything from grills and bobs to cat food.

Not only are each item of outstanding quality, but they encourage you to spend some time with your feline friends, whether it's through play, relaxing on the couch or eating delicious food together.
