The holiday season is approaching and time is running short to come up with a great gift for your loved ones. If you know someone who is a dedicated pet parent, here are my top 5 gifts for the pet obsessed that could help procure the perfect present.

1. A Custom Pet Art Portrait

Pet Art

Toping my list, of course, is a custom hand-drawn portrait created by yours truly. Made to your specifications, pet portraits are creative, one-of-a-kind keepsakes that have deep, sentimental meaning and will be treasured for years to come. They are a perfect way to immortalize the special animal in one’s life.

Alternatively, Pet Art offers gift voucher packages for pet portraits. Shipped to you in a ‘ready to gift’ decorative pet-themed set, they are the stress-free solution! If you’d like your recipient to be the one taking part in the creative process, or just don’t want to be handling delicate artwork, this option is for you.

2. Subscription Pet Boxes

Pet Boxes

Subscription loot boxes are currently all the rage. As this service becomes more popular, a wider variety of specialty boxes are becoming available. There are currently tons of pet specific boxes out there. Most of these boxes focus on providing high-quality pet products and exclusive accessories not available in stores. 

As a pet parent to many different animals, I’ve had great experiences using subscription pet boxes. Here are a few I’d like to highlight:

  • Bark Box 
    Creative new themes every month, Bark Box brings a new world of toys, treats and doggie joy. 
  • Cat Lady Box
    Be proud to be a cat lady! A monthly subscription featuring exclusive items for cats AND their person.  ‘
  • Happy Bunny Club 
    A UK based team focused on making the world brighter for bunnies. They source the best toys & treats, taking extra care to make to make sure all items are bunny safe.

Pet Expo

Many areas have fantastic pet events happening year-round. Most are pet-friendly and tickets are often inexpensive, making it a great option for the whole family. These events typically have exotic petting zoos, pet fashion shows, vendors offering special deals on high-end products, and various live entertainment. 

For pet events near you, it’s best to research your local area. Here are my recommendations for Ontario:

 

4. Pet Magazine Subscription

Another subscription option that lets the gifts keep coming every month! For hardcore pet enthusiasts, a magazine subscription can provide the latest news and trends regarding their pet, along with entertaining stories and specialized offers. A wide variety of pet magazines are available, but here are my top picks:

 

5. Pet Related Classes & Venues
