Paws & Claws Gift Exchange Information

 Welcome to Paws & Claws Gift Exchange 2025!

It's that time of year—the time where cats and dogs can sign up to be matched with other cats and dogs to exchange gifts and spread some Holiday Cheer!

What is the Paws & Claws Gift Exchange?

Participants who sign up for the Paws & Claws Gift Exchange will be matched with another participant. Each participant will be responsible for sending their assigned partner a holiday package containing gifts, and each participant will receive a package from another participant. You may not necessarily be sending to and receiving from the same pet/s. 

Who Can Participate?

Any cat or dog who has a blog is welcome to join the Paws & Claws Gift Exchange. You do not need to be updating your blog on a regular basis, but we want to make sure that each participant has a blog their partner can go to in order to get to know your pet/s. We know that some pets who do not blog or have Facebook pages may want to participate, but we are limiting participation to those who have blogs this year.

How do I Sign up to Participate?

If you'd like to participate in the gift exchange, please email Gabriel the following information by November 20, 2025 at 11:59PM MST at fureverywhere@gmail.com. Please put Paws & Claws 2025 in the subject line of your email. It's easiest if you copy/paste this information into your email so that you don't miss sending us anything. 

1. Name, number, and type/s of pet/s: Please specify the name of each pet, what type of pet they are (cat or dog), and how many cats and/or dogs there are in your pet family.
2. Name of pet blog.
3. Blog address.
4. Email address.
5. Your full address: PLEASE NOTE: It's essential to include your human's first and last name as some post offices will not deliver packages if this information is not on it.
6. Would you be willing to ship to a pet/s in another country? We will do our best to match people within the same country, but this may not be possible for all participants. Please remember that International postage is more expensive and that International packages must be sent earlier to get to their destination in time. 
7. Are you willing to send to cats, dogs, or both?
8. Favorite color.
9. Favorite treat/s.
10. Favorite toy/s.
11. Information on any items that should be avoided, such as certain flavors, treats, or toys.
12. Anything else you would like your partner to know about you or your pet/s. 

Important Information: let's try to limit spending to $30 per package before shipping costs. 

Please be sure to email your information to Gabriel by November 20, 2025 at 11:59PM. Gabriel, with a little help from Giovanni and Mom Sierra, will sort everything out and email everyone with their partner's information by November 24, 2025. Please do not share who you are sending to. We want to keep it all a secret until you open your Paws & Claws package.

Please try to make sure that your partner receives their package by December 15, 2025. We strongly encourage you to send International packages by December 1, 2025. We recommend sending packages with priority mail with a tracking number. A special footer at the bottom of this page offers some recommended shipping dates, but we strongly suggest you check locally for updates.

Please post the Paws & Claws package you receive to your blog by January 10, 2026 to show photos and gratitude of what you received. 

Please email us if you have any questions!
