While we want to believe that our pets genuinely appreciate and understand the act of gift giving, the truth is that the gift of good design in this arena is (mostly) for the owners. But the nice thing about the holiday season is allowing for a little suspension of disbelief—Mrs. Whiskers will definitely appreciate the effort you put forth into making sure her things look as good as yours.

Please retire the L.L. Bean tote bag your dachshund loves for travel and upgrade to something a little fancier.

Dog paw prints are adorable in theory, but less so when they’re decorating your brand new rug. Wipe those mitts!

Cats either love to be brushed or would rather do anything but—maybe this simple wooden “rake” will convert the fussiest customers.

You can never have enough leashes!

Matte black, stainless steel, and equipped with rubber on the bottom so as to eliminate mess during feeding time.

The restroom options for a cat are hardly ever visually appealing, but this cabinet is a nice start.

Cram Muffy into this pet carrier and tuck her under the seat in front of you as you jet off to Palm Springs for the winter.

Make sure your dog understands the complicated backstory of the authenticity of San Marzano tomatoes before allowing them to engage with this gift.

A bowl so elegant that you might mistake it for an appropriate vessel for olive pits on your charcuterie board.

How else will Pickles learn to appreciate the clean lines and simple elegance of Japandi design?

A modular home (sort of) for your cat! Finally!

Dog hair on the car seat? Terrible. Dog hair on this car seat that’s specifically meant for your dog to travel in comfort? Manageable!
