Love them, love their dog

We’ve all got that one friend (or two) who’s obsessed with their pet. If you’re dry on ideas about what to gift them on an upcoming occasion such as their birthday, may we suggest gifting their pet in proxy? (They’ll probably prefer it anyways if they normally talk more about their fur baby than themselves.) 

From portraited items to stylish pet furniture, here’s a comprehensive list of gift ideas for the crazy cat lady or pooch lover in your life.
