2 Pet beds and bedding: Face it, a pet's bed is part of home decor. You might as well find one that looks reasonably good as a gift. Choose one with a holiday theme for an added festive feel.

For a classic or rustic look, PetSmart.com's exclusive Pendleton collection includes beds in autumn colors or rainbow stripes. The company also has combination gift sets that come with a dog bed, cozy blanket and bone toy for about $20.

Petplay.com will donate 20 percent of any pet bed purchased in November to support Movember and the fight against prostate cancer. That includes beds adorned with bright yellow mustaches.

Oprah chose as one of her Favorite Things of 2016 the Charles Fradin Home Customizable Pet Blanket. It's a 60-by-54, micro-fleece printed with an original hand-drawn image of said pet, for $395. Head to Amazon.

3 For humans: Gift your animal-loving human a paw pendant, or head to one of the sites that will customize using a pet's actual paw, including 4pawsforever.org. At Uncommongoods.com, there's a woman who will make you a pendant from a mold of your pet's nose. Look for other customizables there, including pet portraits and pillows that look like your dog.

There are kits available for your pet lover to make a paw print mold to turn into a tree ornament or garden stone.

How about a throw? PetSmart has a red one selling strong emblazoned with: "I Just Want to Drink Wine & Pet My Dog." $29.99. At Originalterritory.com, there's a 30-by-40 fleece that reads: "Naps are Better with a Dog." $19.99.

Friendshipcollar.com if just that: A matching collar for pet and bracelet for the human. In a range of designs. $25 and $35.
