Whether you’re a doting pet parent or searching for the perfect gift for your friend’s furry sidekick, our holiday gift guide for the pet-obsessed is jam-packed with paws-itively perfect gift ideas that are sure to leave tails wagging.

Celebrating Our Furry MVPets

Nearly 70% of all U.S. households own a pet. Studies show that pet ownership is connected to better mental health, and about half of pet owners say their furry friends are just as much part of their family as human members. Pets are an integral part of family dynamics and overall life satisfaction.

That’s why a partnership between Mixbook and PetSmart makes so much doggone sense. “It’s clear that pet parents want a beautiful and personalized way to celebrate their unique family, of all shapes and sizes,” says Leslie Albertson, Sr. Director of Brand Marketing here at Mixbook. “...what better way then to partner with PetSmart to develop a fun and distinctive collection to deliver on that.”

We won’t keep you in the doghouse any longer. Explore some of our favorites from the collection below.

Gift Ideas for New Pet Owners

Becoming a new pet owner is full of excitement and challenges. But pets also grow fast, and milestones can fly past. Why not document the early days of a pet’s adjustment to family life? Mixbook offers two great photo book options for new pet owners.

Our Welcome Home Pet Book by PetSmart (also available in a cat version) is the perfect tool for capturing the excitement and emotions of bringing home a new pet. Consider adding pictures of the first meeting, the car ride home, and the initial exploration of their new home. Document their first meal, first toy, or first visit to the vet. You can also add some personalized captions that include the pet’s name, date of adoption, and short anecdotes of those first few days.

For slightly seasoned pet owners, our Everyday Pet Book by PetSmart (also available in a cat and multi-species version)  is designed to celebrate the everyday moments that make life with a new pet special. Consider it a visual diary of a pet’s first year or more. Include seasonal pictures, holiday celebrations, and daily routines to capture your pet’s personality and quirky habits.

Perfect Gifts for Pet Owners Who Have Everything

When it comes to pet owners with a more contemporary style, look no further than the ever-so-sleek Contemporary Dog Coffee Table Book by PetSmart (also available in a cat version), designed to capture the emotional connection between a pet owner and their cat or dog. Its modern design makes it suitable for display on a coffee table or bookshelf, serving as a conversation starter and an ongoing reminder of a special bond.

Plus, we’ve also just launched matching calendars in this collection for the organized pet lover in your life. Match photos of a pet to the seasons and include any special dates, including the pet’s birthday, adoption day, or other significant pet-related events.

Pet Photo Gifts for Kids

A pet-themed photo gift can become a timeless treasure for kids with a special bond with their four-legged or feathered pals. Our Illustrated Pet Year In Review Book by PetSmart (also available in a cat version) is designed with kids in mind. The book can be personalized with the child’s and pet’s name, creating a customized storybook that helps them relive all the fun moments they’ve shared together throughout the year.

Our Everyday Pet Calendar by PetSmart (available in a cat version) is another kid-friendly option. With some fun personalization, this calendar promises to brighten a kid’s day, every day! Fill each month with heartwarming pet photos that help remind a child about all the moments they’ve shared with their partner in crime.

Honoring Our Furry Loved Ones

The most difficult thing about having a pet is the goodbye. While giving the gift of remembrance can be emotionally challenging, it holds immeasurable value and offers sincere comfort.

Our Pet Remembrance Book by PetSmart (also available in a cat version) is a unique gift option that can help provide pet owners struggling with loss a sense of closure. It honors a pet’s memories and creates a lasting legacy with an elegant and thoughtful design. By focusing on the happy times, pet owners can ease the pain of loss and process their grief at their own pace.
