Hey!

Shop early and be sure to double check the retailers’ websites for shipping information to ensure that your gift will arrive in time for the 25th!
1. An initial heart pin that's even cuter (and much nicer) than carving your names into a tree.
Get it from BonbiForest on Etsy for $13.20 (available in gold or silver).
2. Custom stickers resembling anyone you want, whether it's your partner, their pet, or their favorite celebrity.
Just upload a well-lit image!

Each sloth can be personalized with up to eight characters.
Get it from EEJewellery on Etsy for $28.31+ (available in two finishes).
4. A Pokémon card with their actual pet on it! They even get their own moves like Ankle Bite or Supersonic Bark. This is a gift they will never trade (not even for a first edition Charizard).
Every aspect of the card is custom so you can pick the moves, the type, stats, card rarity, and more. This is already the coolest gift ever but you can also upgrade with a holographic design.
Get it from WildPetsCreations on Etsy: the custom illustration style for $81 or the photo style for $32+ (available in three sizes).

6. A custom brooch of their favorite pet to prove that you got them pinned.
It's handmade with polymer clay!
