Paw-Some Cat Gift Baskets
From delicious treats to pampering products, here are 10 cat gift baskets to shower your feline overlord with!
1. Paws-itively crafted with Love
Making the gift yourself is one of the best ways to show your feline appreciation.
Luckily, it’s not hard to DIY a cat gift basket. And, you’ll end up with something as good as store-bought but more heartfelt.
As you can see in the picture, you can craft balls, chaser toys, catnip-filled toys, and plush toys. Materials you can use include yarn, felt, sisal rope, and catnip.
You can also use different colors of these materials. Although I recommend keeping the basket’s beige/white palette for an elegant, homey feel.
2. Purr-fectly Toasty
Keeping the meow-ster cozy is a great theme for a cat gift basket, especially if chilly days are rolling in.
In this case, a knitted sweater and a soft throw blanket are the ideal combo.
Choose an adorable, kitty-inspired pattern (paws, nose whiskers, tiger stripes) for extra cuteness.
Throw in a heating pad for those colder nights. Also, pick a basket with knit detailing to tie it to the theme.
3. Fluffy Comfort
This cat gift basket brings serious fluff to the table.
It doubles as a plush cat bed and comes with a heating pad for extra coziness. You can also include a few fleece toys and a fluffy cat cushion.
Boost the softness feel by choosing items in light neutrals or pastel shades.

4. Feline Feast
Cat food is a meow-some gift not just for the cat, but also their human (we all know who the real owners are!) who you’ll help save some money.
Go for good quality dry food with a high nutritional value. Include a food puzzle to mentally stimulate the cat and encourage its natural foraging behavior.
I would also throw in a cat grass kit. It looks nice and helps with indoor grazing habits.
Don’t forget to check with the cat’s owner for any problematic ingredients that you should avoid in the cat food.
5. Point-to-Claw
Get ready for hours of fun with this activity-loaded basket!
It includes a laser pointer, which is irresistible to any cat. The red dot is like magic when it comes to playtime and physical exercise.
There’s also a scratching pole. It’ll give the cat something else to ruin besides furniture while keeping its claws healthy.
If you don’t have a basket to hold these items, a plain cardboard box will work like a charm. Felines inexplicably love those boxes, so it’ll even be an extra gift.
6. Fur-ever Colorful
A cute and easy idea for a cat gift basket is, of course, a colorful one. You can find cat toys and accessories in just about every shade, so recreating this assortment should be a breeze.
If you want to boost the chances of that little munchkin loving your presents, you need to pick the right colors.
Cats see blue, yellow, and green most clearly. So, items in these shades appear the brightest and are more likely to grab their attention.

7. A Meow-gical Treatment
This is one of my all-time favorite vibes for a cat gift basket – pampering time!
Give that little ball of fur a lustrous coat with a bottle of coconut oil. Add a balm butter stick to keep those precious paws soft and sleek.
You can get as many products as your budget allows, but make sure they’re lick-safe.
This basket also features a majestic cat cape to complete the lush experience.
You can get more creative and mimic the vintage-suitcase-turned-gift-basket idea. It’ll look stunning.
8. Sham-paw and More
While on the pampering side of presents, how about “spa day” for a cat gift basket theme?
You can include a waterless cat shampoo, a paw cleaner, and ear cleaner finger wipes. You can also add grooming gloves, a brush, and a nail clipper.
Wrap your basket up with a fluffy kitty bath gown and a soft towel for extra cuteness and practicality.
9. The Pawsh Life
Cats are royal – that’s just a fact. So they deserve to be treated as such.
Your gift basket can capture this sentiment.
Offer your feline friend a cushioned velvet bed. A jar of gourmet treats will round up the luxury experience and earn you paw-nus points!
The wicker basket along with the golden bows complement the elegant vibes.
10. Happy Meow-loween!
If you’re giving away the cat gift basket around Halloween time, then you have to do a spooky theme. I mean, just look at that scary witch!
Grab cat toys in any Halloween or spooky reference you can think of. Do the same with cat costumes, caps, and accessories.
Bats, pumpkins, skeletons, ghosts, vampires, spiders – they’ll all look litter-ally adorable.
You can also add Halloween-inspired treats, whether homemade or store-bought. Load your items in a straw or pumpkin basket for style points.
