For £20 there are many gift options that will make a cat lover purr with delight. Here are our top 10. They're gifts ideas that we love and which have proved to be popular in our bricks and mortar shop in York, where customers were able to see and touch what they were purchasing. They are listed in no particular order:
1. Starry Night Cat Pendant £20
New for Autumn / Winter 2026, this silver plated teardrop pendant is inspired by Van Gogh's Starry Night. The neutral tone of the cat will allow any recipient to see it instantly as "their cat".
2. 2027 Page a Day Gallery Calendar £20
Our top calendar every year and here's why. The pictures are super-professional and they are BIG. Our smaller desk calendar hits a price point and does the same job, but it isn't as nice as this one. Comes in a sturdy acetate container which stands easily on a flat surface.
3. Tuxedo Cat Supersoft Slippers £15
Fleece-lined and with non-slip soles, these cat motif slippers are both pretty and practical. Always in demand, the warm red colour of our 2025/26 design has taken the popularity of these slippers to new heights.
4. Blue Kitty Rucksack £18
Our customers love a good, practical bag that keeps hands free. This rucksack delivers on that score whilst also managing to be stylish and reasonably priced. The same motif also comes on a mini cross body bag, new for Autumn / Winter 2026.
5. Fair Trade Hand Warmers £20
If you're looking for something Fair Trade and sustainable then these 100% wool Crafty Cat handwarmers might fit the bill? Made under Fair Trade conditions in Nepal. Matching accessories are available, including a cardigan and a bobble hat.
6. Cat Motif Poncho £20
With British weather plus the impacts of climate change, a poncho is becoming an increasingly attractive "stay-dry" option. Ideal for days when it is too windy for an umbrella and great at keeping rucksacks dry. This one is made of strong, waterproof rip-stop nylon and folds up when not in use. Best of all, it features a cute repeating feline design.
7. Cat and Blossom Umbrella £20
Stand out from the crowd on wet days with this pretty Cats & Blossom design by Alex Clark. Another pretty and practical idea.
8. Kitty Light Bulb £16
Appearances can be deceptive. This "light bulb" is actually a fully functioning light. It gives off an atmospheric pink glow from its quirky cat motif filament and can be moved around easily to where light is required. Rechargeable via USB.
9. Calico Cat Cushion £20
These "squishmallow" cushions are loved by our York shop customers and come in a variety of cat colours, including Black Cat Cushion, Ginger Cat Cushion, Black & White Cat Cushion and Grey Cat Cushion.
10. The Original Lucky Cat £20
Our home city of York is a "City of Cats". Wherever you go in the city centre you are likely to see a lifesize stone cat staring at you. To celebrate York's cat-friendly status, The Cat Gallery designed the Original Lucky Cat as a special souvenir of York, one which might, with the power of positive thinking, bring its owner good fortune. The success of our Original Lucky Cat means they now frequent all parts of the world and have become a collectable in their own right. We have pictured the Black Cat (with a head start in the good luck stakes) but many more designs are available, which you can explore in our Lucky Cats Collection. Cats are supplied boxed, as shown. They also come with your choice of collar and personalisable charm, which you choose after putting the cat in your basket.
