Gifts for/from pets?

Does your family give Christmas presents to your pets? Sometimes the gifts are combined, like something for the cat is given to me as a gift, but the dog has often gotten wrapped presents with treats inside to encourage her to open them. There's been a ban on toys for the dog for awhile since she doesn't wear them out (she's a Pomeranian), and I think I'm the only one who's bought the cat those little stockings they have at PetsMart. We also have a...sort of tradition of giving gifts that are labeled as from the pets. Sort of like adults getting gifts from "Santa", but from the cat or dog instead. Does anyone else do anything like this for the holidays?

I always gave my pets special treats or toys for christmas, and when i was little my mom bought extra presents for me and my sister. On the labels she wrote that they were from the pet, just for fun.

Yes, I bought a gift for my dog. A new collar and leash, and a new comb. I wanted to wrap those items, but my sister says that it wouldn't matter. hehe. That's why I didn't.

I'll have to admit that I do get my Shepherd a giant rawhide bone every Christmas...but only because it keeps her busy and away from the table where OUR food is hahaha. I don't get her dog toys though, she doesn't really play with them anyways. My one daughter and family just got a little puppy, so I got a little puppy present for them (leash) with the puppy's name in the 'from' line.
