This gift guide is for the one family member who contributes absolutely nothing to the household finances, sheds on every available surface, and still acts like they own the place. That's right, the pet. They have no concept of capitalism or the Gregorian calendar, and they would be infinitely more thrilled with the box than the gift that comes inside it.

But that is not the point. The point is that they are the true main character of the household, and the ritual of spoiling them is a sacred, non-negotiable tradition. We have found the gifts that are worthy of their magnificent, and deeply judgmental, presence.

Review: "We bought this toy to try and wear out our new kitten and keep him from getting bored and attacking our old cat. What we did not expect was the new kitten AND the dog playing together with the fun red dot!!! It tires them BOTH out and we have peace in our house again!" - Bethanystar

    Gray tabby cat inside a holiday-themed pet house with a toy mouse hanging, perfect for crazy pet person gifts.

    Promising review: "We buy houses like this for our cats whenever they come out around the holidays. The cats love sitting in them and scratching them to pieces. Most cardboard houses fly apart in no time. These were a little pricier than what we usually get, but they were also well-constructed. For cardboard, I don't think you could get much more durable. The cats love it." — Ccolo

    Gray cat sitting on wooden floor near wall-mounted pet toy with three balls, perfect gift for crazy pet person enthusiasts.

    Review: "My cat is a pretty picky girl. She has very few toys she likes & very rarely has any interest in catnip. I saw the reviews on this & decided to try it out. I couldn’t even get it on the wall before she started trying to rub on it! She’s been sitting in front of it for 10 minutes now since I put it up. I think it’s safe to say she’s a happy girl & definitely approves of this toy!" - Christy C.

    Two pet birds perched inside a cage with a colorful woven toy shaped like a Christmas tree for crazy pet people gifts.

    Promising review: "A lot of the time, our birdies get pretty shy when you put a new toy in the cage. Not this time! Our blue boy Skye was playing with this tree right away. He loves climbing, hanging on the side of the tree, playing with the little baubles hanging off the side, and especially exploring the star with his beak. Such a cute Christmas tree! We started out just wanting to put something festive in the cage, and it's turning into their favorite toy." — J. Starns

    White clay pet paw print ornaments with red ribbon and personalized name on black stove, perfect for crazy pet person gifts.

    Promising review: "This kit is great and includes everything you need, so you don't have to look for any rolling pins or anything! The clay is air-drying. No mixing or baking needed. So that part is awesome. It wasn't messy at all! I also read some other kits that stick to the paw. This clay doesn't stick at all, which made my dogs so happy! The consistency is more like a moldable plastic or super-light feeling Play Doh. The BEST thing about this kit is that I could put names on the ornament with the stencil! I have a few dogs, so without it, it would just be a blur of paws." — Nellie

    Let's call this what it really is: a tribute. A glorious, slightly unhinged offering to the tiny, furry god who lives in your house rent-free. Your cat is not going to send a thank you card. Your dog will not post a glowing review on social media. This is a one-way transaction of pure, unadulterated devotion. Every item on this list is a physical manifestation of your love, a silent apology for that one time you were five minutes late with their dinner.

    The Tiny, Adorable Apex Predator Living In Your House Can Now Hone Its Hunting Skills On Something Other Than Your Unsuspecting Ankles With This Fluttering Interactive Cat Toy

    Six curious cats gathered around an interactive toy on a wooden floor, perfect for crazy pet person gifts.

    Review: "I have 9 cats and constantly buying new and innovative toys for them. This is by far the best yet. They have not stopped playing with it for 3 hrs and because it goes in circles they each get a turn to bat at and catch the butterfly. That many paws and claws and it’s holding up great and it came with a second butterfly for when the 1st one gets worn out. It doesn’t even have to be on to catch their attention and play with it. I will definitely buy a 2nd one." - ShopAholic

    Dog dressed in festive holiday pajamas near a Christmas tree, perfect gift idea for crazy pet person holiday celebrations.

    Promising review: "Love these snowman PJs for my 4-year-old, 21-pound Cavalier King Charles Spaniel! I ordered her a size large and they are a perfect fit! The fabric has a nice stretch to it, so these pajamas easy to put on and take off. She can move about comfortably and carries on as if she’s not wearing anything but the fur on her back! These PJs are made of a nice, soft material which is lightweight. The stitching is secure, so I think they will wash up nicely, but I will hang dry to prevent any shrinkage, just to be safe. My kiddos get such joy from seeing our sweet fur baby wearing pajamas! — Patricia

    Review: "Really loved things that paw print kit. User friendly, but if your pet is squirmy, you may need to try it a few times. Nice keepsake to have or even frame. There was enough ink for my 4 cats and 2 dogs. For the price, this purchase was definitely worth buying." - Destiny Almanzan

    The beautiful thing about shopping for your pet is that there are no wrong answers, only more opportunities for them to be a glorious little weirdo. They might ignore the state-of-the-art, motion-activated laser and become completely obsessed with the crinkly paper it was wrapped in. And that's okay. You're buying a front-row ticket to the most chaotic, unpredictable, and ultimately heartwarming show on earth: your pet's brain. Now, on to the next act.

    Light-colored cat wearing a red sweater with blue and white patterns on wooden floor for crazy pet person gifts.

    Promising review: "I got the medium red for my cat, who is between 12-15 pounds. It fits very well and he actually seems to enjoy it, as it keeps him warm when there's a chill. The design is lovely and the sight of my cat in a sweater that he likes gives me joy in these strange and sometimes difficult times. So, very much recommended! The front of the sweater is open for two legs at once, and there is a small hole on the top for a leash." — Elkenien

    Small tan and white dog lying on tiled floor with a toy ball, perfect gift for crazy pet person enthusiasts.

    Review: "My 8 month old pup really enjoyed this smart ball. Kept him busy for 2 hrs+. He really enjoyed this ball. He was trying to figure out how it was moving on ots own. The protective cover is a plus. 2 different mode, red which is faster and blue which a much calmer movement. My pup prefers the red. I would recommend to others. My baby slept like a baby from all the exercise he got from chasing this awesome ball." - macattack02
