Here's our top pet-themed present ideas for dog/cat lovers
Looking for the paw-fect pet present to gift your dog and cat enthusiasts this year? We've got you covered with our top pet-themed gifts of the season.
With the festive season just around the corner, excitement is in the air for all the sparkle and warmth that comes with the holidays. It's also time to start thinking about perfect gifts for all the special people (and pets) in your life. Finding that special present can be tricky, so we're here to help you find the most paw-some gifts possible for the pet-lovers in your life. Check out our list below for our favourite bit and bobs that will leave every dog and cat lover wagging their tails and purring, and which Tilly & Ted meal we think matches each vibe.
1. Lucy and Lola
After being inspired to draw pet portraits throughout lockdown, Lucy launched Lucy and Lola shop in 2021 to expand her business, named after herself and her adorable Dachshund, Lola. This fun and unique brand creates personalised pet portraits to be embroidered or printed onto sweatshirts, jumpers, tote bags, and more. These super cute designs make a lovely present for any pet lover who wants to celebrate their very own dogs and cats.
If Lucy and Lola is what you'll be shopping, we recommend complementing their stylish apparel with a helping of our flavourful Chicken Dinner. Their impeccable fashion and personalisation match the delicious yet nutritious combo of this meal paw-fectly.
2. RSPCA
For the dog and cat enthusiasts in your life who are committed to a difference to animal welfare, we recommend checking out what gifts and apparel you can find in the RSPCA's very own shop. You can find a variety of pet-themed clothing items, small gifts, and personalised items, where the profit goes towards helping this fantastic charity continue their amazing work. All clothing items are also produced by Teemill, a company who keeps sustainability at their forefront by using natural materials and renewable energy to create their products. Sounds like a win-win to us!
If RSCPA is what you'll be shopping, we recommend pairing the sustainable and varied gifts with a serving of our yummy Salmon Traybake. This unique and superfood-packed flavour profile goes down a treat when you know your making a difference.
3. The Big Cat Sanctuary
The Big Cat Sanctuary is exactly what it says on the tin: A Big Cat Sanctuary in Kent that is dedicated to preserving the welfare of different big cat species across the planet. They do not open to the public like a regular zoo, but offer different experiences and opportunities, such as adopt-a-cat, memberships, and overnight stays in luxury lodges. These can all make fantastic gifts for those cat-lovers who enjoy something different for a present, and who also care about animal welfare and preservation. If you want a non-physical gift, this could be the idea for you.
If The Big Cat Sanctuary is what you'll be shopping, you have to serve up our Chicken Mousse meal whilst your pup serves in these adorable outfits. This meal is full of energising zing and personality, just like Cocopup's cosy styles and creations.
4. Personalised Pet Portraits
For a truly unique and personal gift, out top recommendation is a hand-made personalised pet portrait of your giftee's very own dog or cat. Their are so many talented and local artists who you can commission to create something beautiful that your friends and family will treasure for years to come. By shopping small as well, you can support budding artists and growing creatives to keep doing what they do. Try searching on Etsy, browsing local art fairs, or looking through our specially selected links below, to find the perfect artist to create your masterpiece.
If a personalised pet portrait is what you'll be shopping, our creative and yummy Turkey Pâté with Chicken and Squash is the perfect companion to their artistic flair. Their pet can pose next to their very own portrait at dinner time, whilst enjoying a scrummy meal that's just as cool.

If My Posh Paws is what you'll be shopping, you simply must enjoy their personalised items alongside our classic Lamb Kebab meal. There's nothing better than enjoying this delicious delight whilst knowing your present is truly unique and one-of-a-kind.
