HiChen Woven Cotton Rope Storage Basket
Practical and cute
Who says that a storage basket has to be boring? HiChen certainly doesn’t think so. Just look at their thick and sturdy cotton rope storage basket. Yes, it’s shaped like a cat, but we believe the design is tasteful enough to be placed anywhere, from the playroom to the living room. Aside from laundry and blanket storage, this basket works well for toys and even a comfy spot for your kitty. While it’s pretty durable, the basket has a soft texture, so it will be a peaceful nap destination. All you need to provide is the cushion.
Pros:
- Has multiple uses
- Easy to spot-clean with baking soda
- Ears act as handles for easy carrying
- Unobtrusive design makes it great to use in common areas like the living room
Cons:
- Wish it came in a bigger size
GoLine Kitty Night Light
Purr-fect glow
Not all night lights need to be plugged in, and if you have a child, they’d probably prefer it as close to their bedside as possible. GoLine’s kitty night light does just that. While you can keep it plugged in via a USB cord, the night light last for 12 hours on a full charge. Plus, it can change colors with a simple tap and even offers a very calming breathing mode.
Pros:
- Soft silicone is safe for kids
- A nice size and easy to place anywhere
- Great gift for fans of the kawaii aesthetic
- Excellent value
Cons:
- Might be too bright for some people
Iwaiting Outdoor Cat Wind Chimes
Soothing sounds
Wind chimes may not be the first thing you think of when looking for a cat-themed gift, but after listening to the melodies these make, you’ll see why it’s a worthy option. Iwaiting’s wind chimes emit a beautifully calming sound when the breeze blows. They’re made from durable aluminum, so they’re perfect for hanging on your porch, patio, or garden. And if you or someone you know has recently lost their furry friend, it would make an ideal memorial. Durability-wise, the chain is strong enough to handle moderate gusts, and the chimes won’t rust over time. Overall, these chimes offer both form and function that should last no matter the weather.
Pros:
- Comes in a nice giftable box
- The bells add a nice sound to the wind chimes
- Perfect memorial gift
- Tasteful design
Cons:
- Might need to re-string the ties after strong winds
Sviuse Cat Throw Blanket
Cozy cat cuddles
Let’s face it — many cat-themed blankets are gaudy and probably won’t easily match your existing decor. That’s why we like Sviuse’s throw blanket. We particularly like their kawaii patterned blanket. Its simple yet whimsical black-and-white design blends anywhere you throw it, from the bedroom to the living room. Moreover, the polyester sherpa texture is soft to the touch and will keep you warm when the temperature drops. Even better, it’s machine washable and shrink-proof.
Pros:
- Warm but not too warm
- Nice size for lounging
- Image matches description
- Super soft
- Well made — doesn’t feel cheap
Cons:
- To thin to be used alone in extreme cold
Outus Stationery Set
Nice necessities
Whether you work from home or in a cubicle, Outus’ stationery set is sure to spruce up any doldrum office. From gel ink pens to cat shaped-sticky notes, everything comes in an array of colorful designs and patterns. Even the paper clips are shaped like cats. And while we appreciate how practical this set is, we also like that it comes with a whopping 45 stickers — all cats, of course. Their cute cartoonish expressions are sure to brighten your day.
Pros:
- It doesn’t look too gaudy or kitschy
- A useful gift for office workers
- Can be used to mark pages in books, notebooks, or planners, as well as for decoration on cards
Cons:
- Pens skip at first but smooth out after use
