1 Mini Dog Lamp , £12.99 £12.99
Adorable 7cm light
Fun light shaped like a cute dog and packed with personality! Simply push the button on the back of his head to turn on the warm LED. The neck and legs are completely poseable – just bend him into shape and he can sit, lie down, or even pretend to pee on your potted plant! Perfect for a bedside table or desk, this fun light comes in a trendy shade of baby blue and will bring a touch of style to any room. Labradorable!
2 Cat-Opoly – Classic Game made Purrfect , £29.99 £29.99
A purr-fect present
All the excitement of the famous board game with a witty twist, a feline frenzy of fun! Rather than properties in Monopoly, collect cat breeds, from a Manx to a Siamese and the more expensive Persian (very Park Lane), with each cat card filled with fun facts. Choose your favourite playing piece, from a ball of yarn to a sardine tin and set off, collecting litter boxes and trading them in for fish bones (of course). But try to avoid the cat-astrophe squares – you might be fined for chasing mice or have to pay dog tax to get past the bulldog. Definitely don’t fall in the water and be out for three turns – nobody likes a soggy moggie! The perfect gift to leave any cat lover feline good!

Fast-paced fun for all ages. Paw-sitively perfect!
