17 Stocking Stuffers for Pets—Because They’re a Part of the Family Too, Gosh Dangit!
Christmas is approaching, and while Santa may be checking his naughty or nice list, you don’t even need to bother. You know your beautiful pet is the Nicest of the Nice, and they deserve all the riches in the world. Or, at the very least, some pet-appropriate stocking stuffers. Just because our furry friends don’t live by our Gregorian calendar and don’t know what day it is ever (which, in my opinion, is objectively a better way to live), doesn’t mean we can’t shower them with holiday spirit!
Everyone knows it’s better to give than to receive, and I would argue this is never more true than when you are presenting your pet with a costume or themed toy that has literally no meaning to them but is the cutest thing imaginable to you. There has never been a more seasonally acceptable time than right now to shower your fluffy friend with an embarrassment of squeaky riches, and I’d encourage you to really lean in.This really is, in my opinion, the best experience gift-giving has to offer. You don’t have to agonize over the recipient’s interests and passions to find the perfect meaningful gift for them—because the recipient, just this once, literally has no idea what’s going on.
So take the opportunity to hop on the Christmas Cheer Train and shower your best friend with some charmingly seasonal goodies. It’s an absolute win-win: Your dog gets something that smells a little different than everything else he has already smelled, and you get to Instagram a photo where he looks like Santa. And, when you think about it, isn’t that what Christmas is all about?
