New for Christmas 2026, because your cat deserves only the most en vogue gifts, is the VIP Christmas Luxury Gift Box.

Every pampered kitty needs their own designer clutch, which is why the most beautiful accessories of the French luxury fashion houses have inspired The Catnip Queens new limited-edition box, set to become a highly coveted collector's item. Prices start from £28.

Featuring a new calming spritz, alongside the enviable clutch, the box sets are the ultimate way to reward your feline friend after a year of being fabulous. The boxes even come in their very own dustbag to keep your kittys designer paw-candy looking pristine.

The new Royal Ritual Spray is packed with organic catnip and Valerian to help create a peaceful atmosphere as part of your cats wind-down or bedtime regime!

But what about a few little stocking fillers too, we hear you say! Well check out these simply pawesome ideas below!

For the newly cat-obsessed friend

They got a kitten in the spring, and now every conversation somehow loops back to litter trays. They don't need another toy shaped vaguely like a mouse they need one their cat will still be interested in come February.

The Royal Catch — £12.75

Our best-seller, and for a straightforward reason: it's organic catnip and silvervine in a fish-shaped design that plays to actual feline hunting instinct, not just a novelty shape. 34 reviews in, it's the toy we recommend when someone asks "what should I actually buy?" It's also refillable with our Royal Elixir spray, so it isn't a one-Christmas toy.

For the rescue-cat parent

This is the friend whose cat came with a story a shelter cat, a nervous rescue, one who took eight months to sit on the sofa without flinching. A gift here should say you noticed the effort, not just the cat.

The Catnip Queen's Royal Calm Collection £39.00

Our Cat Anxiety Relief collection pairs organic catnip and silvervine toys with our Royal Elixir spray, designed for redirecting anxious behaviours, easing new-environment stress, and generally giving a nervous cat something calming to focus on. And every purchase across the site, gift or otherwise, sends 1% of revenue to Feline Care (registered charity 1144830) so buying for a rescue cat quietly supports a few more.

For the minimalist who still spoils their cat.

Some cat owners run a beautifully edited flat and one plastic novelty toy shaped like a prawn. If your friend falls firmly into "no clutter, thank you" territory, buy something that looks intentional on a shelf.

The Designer Clutch — £13.50

Plush, structured, and crucially — it doesn't look like a cat toy at first glance, which matters more to some owners than to their cats. Organic catnip with silvervine, refillable rather than 

replaceable, so it earns its place rather than ending up in a bin in January.

For the one who says they don't want anything

They always say this. They never mean it. Go bigger for this one, because a shared gift for a beloved cat tends to land better than a gift card that implies you didn't think about it.

The Royal Heist — £47.00

Three catnip toys plus a full-size Royal Elixir spray, presented as a proper collection rather than a bundle discount dressed up. This is the "I actually thought about this" option the one you give when a card alone would feel thin.

For the cat with more toys than personality traits

Realistically, most cats already own eleven toys and are devoted to exactly one of them. If you're buying for a cat who's seen it all, the spray matters more than another toy.

The Royal Elixir Catnip & Silvervine Spray — £13.25

This is the quiet workhorse of the range: a spritz revives every toy the cat has stopped noticing, refreshes a neglected scratching post, and for the roughly 30% of cats who don't respond to catnip at all it's blended with silvervine, which works through a different biochemical pathway entirely. Worth knowing before you buy catnip-only for a cat who's simply never responded to it.

For the stocking, not the tree

Not every cat-lover gift needs a bow. Sometimes it's the £10-and-under thing that goes in a stocking without anyone overthinking it.

A single Royal Elixir spray, or one of the smaller toys from our Cat Toys collection, does the job without turning into a production.

One honest note before you order

We're not going to invent a countdown clock or tell you stock is disappearing it isn't, and manufactured urgency is exactly the kind of gift-guide nonsense we're trying to avoid here. Just don't leave it until the 23rd; give courier networks their fair chance over the Christmas rush like everyone else.

If you're still not sure what to get, the honest answer is: buy the toy, not the mug. The cat will thank you. The owner will notice.

Free UK delivery on every order. 1% of every sale goes to Feline Care, a registered charity supporting cats in need.
