Ultimate NZ Christmas Gift Guide for Dogs and Cats
Christmas in New Zealand is all about sunshine, family time and festive treats—and for us pet parents, that includes spoiling our furry companions too. Whether your dog’s been a good boy or your cat’s been delightfully cheeky, they deserve something extra special under the tree this year. That’s why we’ve put together the ultimate gift guide packed with purr-fect surprises and tail-wagging favourites. At Petdirect, We Get Pet, and we’re here to make festive gifting easy, joyful and full of pawsitive vibes.
Festive Toys That Spark Joy
You can’t go wrong with fun and festive toys. They’re a brilliant way to keep your cat or dog mentally stimulated and physically active over the holidays (especially when the human treats come out). This year, stock up on toys designed for Christmas play, including festive themed plush toys, squeakers and teaser toys from our Christmas collection for all day entertainment.
Interactive options like smart pet tech toys, puzzle feeders or battery-powered chasers are great for curious cats and clever pups. For plush lovers, browse our range of dog plush toys or mouse-shaped cat toys with crinkles and catnip—a winning combo for feline friends.
Yummy Christmas Treats For Good Pets
Christmas calories don’t count when it comes to your pet’s happiness! Treat your pup to natural dog treats or surprise your cat with irresistible feline treats like freeze-dried morsels and flavour-packed bites. For gift box ideas, Put together a mini “paw-liday hamper” with a variety of treats and chews suited to their dietary needs or preferences.
Our festive treat range for dogs and cats is packed with delicious favourites and seasonal flavours that make feel good gifting easy.
Snuggly Bedding & Cosy Comforts
If your pet’s bed has seen more naps than Santa’s sleigh sees snow, it might be time for an upgrade. Choose from our range of cosy dog bedding or dreamy cat beds perfect for lazy summer holiday snoozes. Think memory foam mats, calming donut beds, and cooling options for warmer weather.
For crate-trained pups, a new bed or even a fresh crate mat can make them feel safe and festive. And if your cat has been eyeing the Christmas tree like it’s a climbing post—why not gift them a new scratching post or tree of their very own?
Paw-some Tech & Smart Essentials
Christmas is a time for magical surprises—and what’s more magical than modern pet tech? From smart water fountains that encourage hydration to automatic feeders that serve Christmas dinner on time, there’s something clever for every lifestyle.
Keep an eye on furry antics with pet cameras or upgrade their entryway with a smart cat or dog door. These tech tools are not only practical, they’re also perfect for peace of mind over the busy summer break.
Affordable & Fun Stocking Stuffers
Looking for something small but thoughtful? Explore our huge range of stocking stuffers—from festive headbands and tasty bites to travel toys and treats under $20. They make great surprises for your pet or thoughtful gifts for fellow pet parents. Top picks under the tree often include toys, feeding bowls or even calming essentials for holiday nerves.
