Wanted to go a little out of the box this year with the dogs gift guide. This year, I noticed American Eagle launched an entire dog collection, which I most definitely took advantage of for our own dogs (don’t tell Chloe or Mason!), and wanted to include some gift ideas that weren’t limited to toys they would just destroy. So, I expanded my search beyond Bark Box & Amazon and included a few pieces from Pottery Barn– because sometimes our pooches deserve to be as boujee as we are. Here are my top picks for the holiday 2020 season:

1. Interactive puzzle game
2. Hide-A-Squirrel game (Chloe has this and LOVES IT)
3. Harry Barker Spa Set (Pamper your pup!)
4. 3-in-1 Personalized Pet Bed
5. Wicker Dog Toy Storage basket
6. Faux Fur Puff Ball (an extra fluffy bed for the dogs who love ALL. OF. THE. COZY.)
7. Mason Stoneware Pet Treat Canister
8. Couch dog bed (I really think a brand new dog bed is a great holiday gift for your pup, especially if they’re in the market for a new one– also wanted to include a few at different price points)
9. Cup of Bark Roast Coffee
10. Squid
11. “Sloffee” Break Dog Toy (have to get this for Mason & Chloe)
12. Dog Treat Launcher
13. Llama in Pajamas dog toy
14. Sherpa Camo Hoodie (planning to get this for Mason!)
15. Leopard Sherpa Hoodie (and I may just have to get this one for Chloe!)

Aside from the kids gift guides, I think the gifts for your pets is my second most favorite gift guide to put together. I mean, how could we ever forget our pets?! Last year unfortunately I did not include too many options for cats. Why? Because I often find my cat is near impossible to shop for. He’d rather a paper clip over a fancy swimming salmon any day. But many of you reached out in need of some next-level cat toy ideas that will wow your cat for maybe more than a mere minute. So here we are. Enjoy 😉

1. Interactive swimming fish in pool toy: Great for the cat who thinks he/she is a beast & can conquer all prey–also great if your cat isn’t afraid of water.
2. Windmill cat toy: Supposed to tease your cat with silly toys/lights and eventually they will get the hint they need to take a swat at it.
3. Self rotating ball with feather: Are you getting the hint that cats might really love the interactive toys? Do you just love those ones you can set it and forget it? Just turn this on and go.
4. Rolling ball tower: A classic that many cats including my own actually likes. If it passes the Louis test, it’s certified good.
5. Cat tunnel with included toys & accessories: Louis LOVED his when he was a kitten & if we still had it, I’m sure he would be using it. Unfortunately ours got destroyed during a cross country move, so he may be in the market for a new one.
6. Life-like swimming fish: You thought I was kidding about that robotic swimming salmon didn’t you?
