You've made your list, you've checked it twice, and now it's time to actually start shopping. Why not start with an easy group to check off that lengthy list? Like the pet lovers in your life, perhaps. We're not just talking cats and dogs, either, since it's 2022! As we all know by now, there's more to life than just two types of four-legged friends.
Unless, of course, you live in a major city. In that case, you're generally restricted to cats and dogs, or maybe something cute but illegal like a hedgehog. Anyway. Whether or not your fave willingly refers to their pets as "fur babies," the fact of the matter is, they love them. So. Much.
So why not buy them gifts that show that? After all, everyone does scarves and candles. But you…you know better. You know that the friend with the TikTok llama obsession wants anything that reflects that. Or the proud dog mom who loves a wine night is just looking for a way to combine the two, even if she'd never admit it.
Without further ado, here are 20 essential gifts that pet lovers will absolutely wag their tails for this year.
Let's just get this one out of the way: Bird people, even though they're bird people, deserve practical novelty gifts too.
While we're on the subject of less-conventional pets, this stretchy, fish-printed tee shows the aquarium enthusiast in your life that having as scaly buddy is something to be proud of.
Nothing is funnier than a cross pet that's reluctantly agreed to wear a unicorn horn for photos. Give the gift of that moment to someone this year. Please. For me. I need to see the photos.
For a more traditional gift, there's always this darling French Bulldog ornament. Lovingly designed by artist Joanna Buchanan, it shows off just how much someone's Frenchie runs their home. (A lot. It's a lot.)
Wine and cats go together like peanut butter and jelly. And I'm allowed to say that, since I have one.
Bunny hop over to your bestie with this twinkling necklace that honors her floppy-eared friend.
Imagine a perfect pooch snuggled into these warm and festive jammies. Now make it a reality.
For the friend still laughing until they cry about the screaming goats in one of the latest Marvel movies: A Funko that celebrates them in all their glory.
Handknit from lambswool, this dog toy set looks good enough to eat.
Not to be all "cats and wine" again, but this subtle stopper is purrfect for pushing paws on the evening's entertainment.
This reinforced tote is a bestseller from Roverlund for a reason: It allows someone to take a dog (or cat!) out in the world in safety and style.

Topped with a real jingle bell necklace, this 13" cuddly Christmas llama completes any tablescape.
Mornings kick off to a cuter start with this sweet ceramic mug from Pinky Up. If you get it for a little pet lover in your life, it also seems like it might make a great dish for ice cream.
This soft and cozy pullover from Chaser is made to cuddle up in. Let's just hope it doesn't make any domestic kitties jealous.
This ever-so-glam leash from Moschino infuses every walk with head-turning style.
I mean, an adorable Labrador puppy that doubles as a beverage display? That says it all.
Soft, supportive, and versatile, this reversible sling is way more fun to wear than a carrier is to hold.
The Lentek Pet Chime is a "portable wireless electronic pet doorbell" designed to help dog owners accomplish the Holy Grail of training: Teaching the dog a calm and consistent way to announce when it's time to go outside. Yes, folks, it can be done.
Created to ensure "sublime slumber any time of day" for dogs up to 30 lbs., this luxury bed from Roverlund will make you his or her new favorite. Forever, probably.
