When shopping for that special cat lover in your life, you can’t go wrong buying your friend, family member, co-worker, or significant other an item that reminds them of their four-footed furry friend! The following are some great themed gift items you might consider when shopping for the purrfect gift:
Practical Presents
Who does not like to receive their favorite food or a tasty treat to celebrate any special occasion? Felines, like their owners, also appreciate something yummy for snacks between meals or better yet, a case of their favorite flavor of food. Other practical gifts are those that provide hours of play and entertainment for it and its owner. One such fun item is a scratching post. You can find scratching posts in many different colors, styles and sizes. Not only will the cat thank you, but so will the owner’s couch! More practical items include, jewelry, watches, handbags, sweaters, books, videos or DVDs, mailboxes, wind chimes, door knockers, door mats or beautiful handmade items like a fluffy pillow and blanket to share for naps!
Cultural Cats
Throughout centuries, felines have been worshipped and revered in just as many cultures. Perhaps the most noted in history is the relationship between them and Egyptians. They were honored as graceful and poised, were often mummified as their human owners! As in ancient Egypt, what better way to show love and admiration than owning a pair of earrings, necklace, or scarf featuring the cat-head goddess Bast? For those who are a little more difficult to shop for, a personalized themed pin makes a very thoughtful gift!
If that someone special enjoys Asian art pieces, a scroll decorated with Japanese brushwork kittens makes an alluring gift. If you’re looking for a gift to make a bolder statement, consider a gift bearing jaguars and ocelots, which are prevalent in Mayan and Aztec art pieces.
Fluffy Feline Friends
You may find yourself shopping for a cat lover with limited living space, or who is allergic. Don’t worry because you can still find an appropriate themed gift! One very popular gift idea is a soft and cuddly stuffed replica of the real pet. You can select one from many different colors, shapes and sizes depending on the breed.
Cat-Inspired Houseware
For those that don’t actually own one but adores them, then themed houseware items are the perfect gift! Gift items for the bathroom include cat printed towels, soap dispensers, toothbrush holders, tissue box covers, night lights, and bath mats. For other rooms in the home, you can shop from a wide selection of popular three dimensional wall art pieces, clocks, patterned prints or add a personal touch by framing a favorite photo.
Knowing the gift recipient’s personality and preferences will help when selecting the purrfect gift. Just keep in mind when you’re shopping that there are plenty of great cat themed gift options!
