Choosing a gift for a cat lover seems relatively easy. You know for sure that cat lovers love cat-related stuff. But of course, things are not always that simple. You have to consider your cat-loving friend’s individual taste. And you have to think about your budget too.

Knowing your friend’s personal preferences will surely help you select the right gift more easily. But what if you’re not sure about what to give? The good news is that there is a wide selection of cat-themed gifts to choose from. You will surely find something fun and affordable for that special cat lover in your life.

So if you’re looking for a unique, low-priced cat gift and don’t know where to begin, take heart. Here are five inexpensive gift ideas for cat lovers that will certainly please any cat lover:

1. Cat T-shirts: You can find a wide array of fun cat-themed T-shirts online. They come in different styles and prices. Plus, several online stores also allow you to customize your pieces. For example, you can select the design from a selection of available logos and images, or you can upload your own graphics. Cat T-shirts make great gifts for children too.

2. Cat magnets: These make fun and whimsical cat gifts! And you can give just one or a whole set. In fact, you can help your friend start a collection.

3. Cat Posters: These make the perfect gift for cat lovers who also love art. And there is a wide selection to choose from: From humorous to classic works; and from inspirational to whimsical pieces. For an extra fee, you can have your poster framed. And if you can afford it, why not give a fine art print? You can even find reproductions of famous works of art, such as Renoir’s "Woman with a Cat". Your cat-loving friend will certainly be delighted.

4. Cat Books: This idea is one of my personal favorites. You can find cat books on a variety of topics, including humor, art, photography, history, inspiration, fiction, trivia, cat care, and much more. This is also the perfect gift for cat lovers who also love reading. A popular series of cat-inspired books is "The Cat Who…" mystery novels, by Lillian Jackson Braun. A personal favorite is "Angel Cats: Divine Messengers of Comfort" by Allen Anderson and Linda Anderson. Another popular book is "Chicken Soup for the Cat Lover's Soul: Stories of Feline Affection, Mystery and Charm" by Jack L. Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen, Carol Kline, Amy D. Shojai, and Marty Becker.

5. Cat candles: Does your friend love decorating? Does she love candles? If this is the case, your friend will love the gift of feline-inspired candles (you can give just one candle or an entire set). Undoubtedly, cat candles make great cat gifts. You can find candles adorned with cat motifs as well as cat-shaped candles. These candles are so much fun. Plus, they come in different sizes and prices.

Bonus Idea: A cat mug makes a fun gift for any cat lover. They too come in different styles and sizes, and most are very affordable. Some online stores even allow you to customize your mug by allowing you to use your own graphics and images.
