Just 9 brilliant Christmas gift ideas for the good boys and girls in your life.

 

Family is important, and arguably, the most important part of any family is the pet.

Grandma? Yeah, she’s alright. Your brother is nice enough too.

But… your dog.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Speaking of dogs, we really don’t deserve them. Post continues below video.

The idea of buying your pet a gift this Christmas may seem… ridiculous, because it is, but it’s also GENIUS because there’s nothing greater than a happy pet. Bringing them joy brings you joy.

Plus, a present will mean your dog will get excited and maybe give you extra cuddles. If you have a cat, they might also give you an inkling that they’re happy. Maybe.

If you do want extra fluffy cuddles this December 25, here are a few of the best gifts for your furry best pal.

Big W Kiddo Dog Christmas Stocking, $6.

Every purchase from Rufus & Coco's I Give A Wag toy range donates to the Australian Pet Welfare Foundation to support their mission of ending unnecessary euthanasia in Australian pounds, so you and your best mate can play knowing you're helping other animals.

There's a selection of toys to use for tug-of-war, throwing and fetching, and of course, cuddles when they're knackered at the end of the day. Plus, they're cute!

Other cool toy options include Purina's limited edition Star Wars releases ($14.99), which includes a very cute Chewbacca for dogs and a BB-8 cat toy that vibrates and moves, meaning your cat is definitely going to chase after it.

Oh, and how about a champagne bottle for your boujee (or boozy) best mate ($24.95)?

For the boujee, pampered doggos in your life, this pack contains dry dog wash, mini dog wash, mini kennel spray and a chic black wash cloth.

This is basically the dog equivalent of a fancy face mask and body scrub, all kept together in a cute lil cosmetics bag (until now we didn't think dogs needed cosmetics bags, but now we think they all must).

Merry Christmas, ya (no longer) filthy animal.
