Not all heroes wear capes. Some arrive bearing a beautifully packaged, NZ-made gift box for someone’s beloved fur baby.
If you’ve ever stood in a shop trying to figure out what to give someone who is, let’s be honest, slightly more invested in their pet than in most human relationships — this guide is for you.
For Birthdays: The Dog or Cat Who Deserves the World
Our Pawsome Celebrations (dog) and Happy Purr-day (cat) birthday boxes are specifically curated for the occasion — beautifully presented, packed with NZ-made treats and foods, and guaranteed to produce the kind of reaction you’ll want to film. And as the name Happy Purr-day (or any day!) suggests, you really don’t need to wait for an actual birthday. Please note: our birthday boxes are designed for adult cats and dogs. If your pet is still very young, check with your vet before introducing new treats.
For the Multi-Pet Household: The Signature Box
For the home with both whiskers and a wagging tail, the Wagg & Purr Signature Box is the ultimate sharing gift. A taster of NZ-made treats and foods for cats and dogs together — bare possum treats for both, cherry nuggets, a bone broth meal-topper to share, a little catnip wine and dog beer, and a toy each — all wrapped together in eco-friendly Kraft tissue. It’s the gift that makes sure nobody in the household gets left out, and it’s perfect for the friend whose family just happens to have four legs and fur.
For Christmas: The Gift That Shows You Really Thought About It
The Grand Wagg or Grand Purr makes an extraordinary Christmas gift — premium NZ-made treats and foods, a few handpicked extras from around the world, beautifully presented, and impossible to regift.
For New Pet Arrivals: The Welcome Gift That Starts Everything Right
Someone in your life just got an adult rescue dog or cat? A Wagg & Purr box is the most thoughtful welcome gift you can give. If the new arrival is still a puppy or kitten, hold off on the treats and consider a gift card so they can order when their pet is ready.
For Mother’s Day: Because Pet Mums Deserve Recognition
Fur baby mums are real mums. They get up at 2am for toilet runs. They cancel plans when their pet is anxious. A Wagg & Purr box on Mother’s Day says: I see you, and I’ve curated something genuinely special for the pet you love as much as your own children.
For ‘Just Because’: The Best Reason of All
Honestly, ‘just because’ is our favourite gifting occasion. No birthday required. No Christmas countdown needed. Just a Tuesday afternoon when you thought your dog absolutely deserves something wonderful today — and you were right.
For the Friend Whose Pet You’ve Never Met (But Feel Like You Have)
You know the ones. The friend whose Instagram is 90% one very photogenic animal. A Wagg & Purr box for their beloved fur baby is the most on-the-nose, absolutely spot-on gift you could possibly give them. They will literally cry.
