Brits are currently spending £millions each year on their pets, with online retailer the Personalised Gifts Shop seeing a huge increase in the number of shoppers buying gifts for their beloved animals.
The online gift company ships hundreds of pet gifts every month, with a huge increase in the number of shoppers buying for their cats and dogs over the last two years.
To meet the demand, the company now includes a comprehensive range of dog and cat feeding bowls, blankets and beds. Other items in the pet gift collection include cat and dog collars, engraved pet signs and decorations, and pet carry bags.
“The gift markets seems to have gone into overdrive in recent years,” comments Personalised Gifts Shop’s founder Jane Gokgoz. “We Brits do love our pets and the pet gifts is one area where we’ve seen a significant increase.”
She continues: “Shoppers aren’t just buying for their cats and dogs at Christmas. They’re also celebrating other significant dates like birthdays and Easter and are buying new items to replace old, worn out versions, such as food bowls and pet blankets. Choosing a personalised gift does make is special, and if a shopper is giving the present to a pet owner, it shows they’ve gone the extra mile to buy a gift that will mean something to them.”
Jane says that she expects the market for pet presents to continue to boom over the coming years. “Reports from last year predicted that the UK pet industry will be worth over £2 billion by 2023 suggesting that over half of pet owners bought pet accessories.”
