This holiday season, we’ve found the gifts that feel great to get and even better to give. Shop Well-Received, our collection of editor-approved holiday gift guides, here.
The best holiday gift for your loved one with a pet is something relating to their pet. You likely already figured this out, as having a pet is a major part of, if not their whole personality. I say this because that’s very much me: My life revolves around two 11-lb. Chihuahuas that I would do anything for, and the gifts I’m most excited to receive are those that are either for them or about them. (Their sweater collection is way better than my own, I must admit.) So, I’ve curated some of the most delightful products on the market right now for the dog owner, cat owner, or simply animal lover on your shopping list.

Little animals can get cold easily, so a sweater is a must. But don’t overlook their heads, either: This balaclava — a collaboration between Maxbone and Free People — will keep their faces warm (and you delighted) all winter long.

I have this Little Beast carrier from a past collaboration, but am considering doubling up with the harlequin-print style from its latest drop with Lisa Says Gah. It’s padded all over, so super comfy for the pup and your shoulder; it has tons of pockets to store treats, collapsible water bowls, and whatever else you may need for an outing. The matching poop bag is a nice touch.
Shop Little Beast.
Little Beast x Lisa Says Gah Cirque Carrier, $, available at Little Beast
Ralph Lauren offers some of the best customization in the fashion space: On most of its core pieces — the polos, the crewnecks, the caps — you can change the logo from the classic pony to a range of dog breeds. Add an extra special touch by monogramming the back with their pet’s name.

Pets can embrace the coquette aesthetic, too. The best part of this specific bow-adorned sweater from Anthropologie is that the retailer sells a skirt in the same style (available in sizes XS through 3X and on sale!), so your loved one and their furry loved one can match. A gift that keeps on giving.
