We can’t think of a better addition to our homes than something with our pets’ faces on it. Whether it’s a custom ceramic vase, a set of personalized coasters, or abstract wall art, we get as excited about seeing our pets as they do about seeing us. That’s why we’ve rounded up our favorite pet-inspired items, including the embroidered crewneck, monogrammed harness, and hand-crafted candlesticks that simply justifies a splurge moment. Below, the best customizable pet products for holiday gifting.

Btw, our editors (and their pets) picked out these products. They’re always in stock at the time we publish, but there’s a chance they’ll sell out. If you do buy through our links, we may earn a commission. (We’ve got a lot of toys to buy over here, you know?)

necklace in colorful beads

Getting guests to call your pet by their name has never been easier. With Laēlap’s beaded one-of-a-kind necklace, you can forgo the ubiquitous starter nylon collar and get straight to the good stuff. Made with freshwater pearls, Austrian crystals, and Czech beads, all of Laēlap’s materials as sustainably sourced, so they’re safe for the planet and your pup. Note: these custom necklaces are not a replacement for collars and should be worn with a harness while walking your dog.

dog coasters

Ever wanted the opportunity to collaborate with iconic fashion brand Edie Parker? Well, now’s your chance! The Edie Parker design team works with you to create the custom piece of your dreams. Starting with mockups, you will be able to choose colors and fonts to create a completely personalized set of coaster, vanity tray, or any of their other offerings.

The white glove custom process allows for about a five-to-six week of lead time.

the dog bowls in yellow and black

Make your pet’s bowl truly their own with Mr. Dog’s personalized bowls. Laser cut to your specifications, these bowls stand the test of time — including frequent washing and sun exposure. They’re ergonomically designed, non-toxic, and water tight so they’ll keep you, your pup, and your hardwood floors in good spirits.

You can expect about a week turn around on these custom bowls, which makes them ideal for the last minute gifter who always pulls off a thoughtful present.

Picture this: It’s a cozy fall night, you’re at home, curled up with your pup under a blanket watching Hocus Pocus 2, and you’re wondering how to complete the seasonal ambiance. You reach for a candle, but not the Black Flame Candle — a tapered candle sticking out of a candle holder designed in the likeness of your pet. Name a more perfect evening; we’ll wait.

FYI: Each litter of custom ceramics has about a six-to-eight week yield time before they’re ready to be taken home.

checkered blue and white sweater

We’ve all seen those people matching with their pets. We know them. We love them. We envy them. Now, we are them! Illustrator and designer Andrea Cáceres recently dropped a limited edition line of customizable dog and human sweater vests that we’re all too excited about. At checkout, you can add your pet’s instagram or submit their photograph to receive a one-of-a-kind knit in your pup’s likeness.

After confirming your approval of the artwork, you can expect about a three-week wait to receive your sweater. It’ll give you and your pup something to look forward to, and you can rest assured that it was carefully crafted by hand.

bottle with custom label

Begun by self proclaimed “animal loving hippies,” Chris and Breanna Hamilton, Rancho Rossa Vineyards donates proceeds from their winery to multiple animal-centric nonprofits. Now, they’re giving back to the pet lover community in a new way: by designing labels with custom pet portraits for six and 12 packs of wine.

The turnaround time for the personalized printed labels is about four to six weeks, so better order them now ahead of your holiday dinner parties.
