Handmade holiday: The ULTIMATE holiday gift guide for your pet 

This post contains affiliate links to cool stuff!


Shopping online is more popular because of the Covid-19 pandemic, just like shopping locally has become more crucial. Many local family-owned businesses have created online stores to offer their products to the community safely. But what if you can't find what you're looking for locally? Should you search on Amazon? Nope! There's another way!

Etsy is an online shopping platform that supports small, independent sellers and creators. On Etsy you can find unique, handmade, and one of a kind products. This Christmas if you must shop online, support independent sellers by shopping Etsy. You'll even find something for your pets! I searched Etsy for the most fun and unique Christmas gifts for cats and dogs. 

Check out the ULTIMATE Etsy gift guide for your pet below- click the bolded text to link to the product! Christmas is coming so place your orders soon otherwise Santa Paws won't arrive in time!
