The Fall Gift Guide for Pet People: Cozy Gifts Starring Their Pet
Sweater weather is here, the leaves are turning, and somewhere a dog is lying in the exact patch of sun you were about to sit in. Fall is the season of gathering: Thanksgiving tables, Friendsgiving potlucks, the first family photos of the holidays. And in every one of those photos there's one subject who never blinks at the wrong moment. Usually because they're asleep.
This guide is for the people who'd rather see their pet on something than anyone else. Every gift below starts with one photo from your phone. You upload it, pick a backdrop, and watch your pet land on the product live in the browser before you pay. No waiting days for a proof, no account to make.
First, the trick of the season: a fall backdrop
In the studio, your pet's cutout sits in front of a backdrop like a real portrait sitting. For fall we've added three: Autumn Leaves, Harvest Plaid and Chestnut. They work on every product with a backdrop, in a circle, an arch, a rounded square or a heart. Pick one and your pet looks like they posed for a harvest portrait, even if the photo was taken on the kitchen floor.
1. The Sherpa Blanket: for the couch that's really theirs

If one gift says "fall", it's a blanket. Ours is a soft sherpa fleece printed edge to edge, in three sizes: 30 × 40 in ($69), 50 × 60 in ($99) and 60 × 80 in ($129). Put one big portrait across it, or repeat your pet in a pattern. Choose the field color too: Studio Green, Cream, Stone, Navy or Ink. It's the gift people end up using every night until April.
2. The Studio Hoodie: the one they'll wear to every game

A heavyweight hoodie for cold mornings and football Sundays, with your pet on the front, the back, or both. $65, in Ink, Cream, Stone, Navy, Storm and Paprika. A big portrait on the back reads from across the stadium parking lot.
3. The Long Sleeve Tee: for the in-between days

Not quite hoodie weather? The long sleeve is a garment-dyed Comfort Colors tee with a soft, lived-in feel. $42, in eight colors including Mustard and Studio Green, which look right at home next to fall leaves.
4. The Morning Mug: the host gift nobody else will bring

Going to someone's house for Thanksgiving or Friendsgiving? Everyone brings wine. Bring the host's dog on an 11 oz mug instead, with their name underneath. You choose which side faces the person holding it, so it's the right way round for a right-handed or left-handed coffee drinker. $26.
5. The Studio Socks: for the whole family at once

Your pet's face, repeated all the way round a pair of cushioned crew socks. One pair is $29, two pairs are $49 and three are $69, and each pair can be a different pet. That makes them an easy answer for siblings, the grandparents, or the cousin who has three cats.
6. The Errands Tote: for the farmers market and the pie run

A heavy cotton canvas tote for pumpkins, groceries and the pie you promised to bring. Your pet in front of a fall backdrop on one side. $29.
7. The Keepsake Ornament: a head start on Christmas

In plenty of houses the tree goes up the weekend after Thanksgiving. A ceramic ornament with your pet's portrait and name is a sweet thing to hand over at the Thanksgiving table, ready for the first night of decorating. $25.
How a sitting works
- Upload a photo. Any clear phone photo works. We cut your pet out of the background, and you can brush out anything extra with Touch up.
- Pick a backdrop and a product. Try your pet on the hoodie, then the blanket, then the mug. The artwork follows them.
- See it, then buy it. What you see in the preview is what we print.
Two or more pets? Seat up to four together in front of a backdrop, for $5 per extra pet.
A few things that make it easier
- Free shipping on orders of $65 or more.
- A free mug on orders of $99 or more.
- 10% off your first order with code WELCOME10, and it stacks with the free mug.
