Gifting Idea: New-Home ‘Pet Night Light’ Housewarming Bundle

Do you love to give gifts? We do, too. But perhaps one of the most perplexing gifts is housewarming gifts. What do you give someone when they’ve just moved in and you’ve never been in their home before? What do the new homeowners need? What is their style? Gifting the perfect thing can be a challenge, to say the least.

Thankfully, we have some good news for you. If the new homeowners are pet lovers, we’ve got just the idea for you. New homes take some time to get used to. So, whether you are gifting for a child or an adult pet lover, a cat night light or a dog night light can be the absolutely perfect present. 

Why Pet-Themed Gifts Are Always a Hit 

We shouldn’t be, but we’re endlessly surprised by the number of pets that are in loving homes across the U.S. There are an estimated 94 million households across the country with some sort of pet, and most of those homes have a cat or a dog that they love dearly. These pets aren’t just animals in these homes. They’re beloved companions, playmates, and emotional support systems. They’re family. And we wouldn’t have it any other way.

That’s why gifts that include a pet feel so personal. It shows you’ve gone beyond the standard candle (cue up the Christmas Candle song from Saturday Night Live) or houseplant (black thumb, anyone?) and chosen something that reflects what matters most to the recipient. A pet-themed gift taps into something meaningful, creating an instant emotional connection. And you won’t be the subject of any jokes either, because people will absolutely love the thoughtfulness you put into the gift.

The best news? These types of gifts work for everyone, whether you’re shopping for a child who adores their puppy or an adult who refers to their cat as their “roommate.” They’re especially powerful for new homeowners navigating a big life change because what feels more grounding than a familiar face, wagging tail, or soothing purr?

Some favorite pet-centered gift ideas include:

• Mugs with custom pet designs

• Framed pet portraits

• Soft throw blankets with paw prints

• Personalized pet night lights

Warm, thoughtful, and endlessly charming, pet-themed gifts stand out in the best way.

What Makes a Night Light the Perfect Housewarming Gift

Night lights can do so much more than protect us from the proverbial boogie man. In a new house, night lights can be especially appreciated as the homeowners get used to new corners, unfamiliar layouts, creaky floors, furniture placement, and the like. It’s practical, yes, but also surprisingly decorative.

A thoughtfully placed night light can warm up a hallway, bedroom, bathroom, or child’s room with minimal effort. And when you add a pet-inspired design, it becomes more than a source of light. It becomes a reflection of love. That’s the charm of night light pet portraits: they offer a gentle, glowing tribute to a beloved dog or cat while blending seamlessly into any décor style.

These lights are a great option for kids who might find comfort in seeing a glowing image of their furry best friend. Adults appreciate the cozy ambiance they create, too. Best of all, they’re a subtle and meaningful way to incorporate a pet into a room without dominating the design.

Looking for more glowing inspiration? Lumi pets, soft, rechargeable animal night lights, are another whimsical idea for pet lovers, especially in homes with children. Together, they make for a cozy, thoughtful housewarming gift bundle that will be remembered long after the boxes are unpacked.

What Makes a Night Light the Perfect Housewarming Gift

We know what you might be thinking: a pet night light seems like a great gift to buy yourself. And it’s true! But we promise, a cat night light or a dog night light will also make a great housewarming gift, too. 

Here’s why pet night lights can be such a bright and welcome gift (literally and figuratively).

• They offer comfort and calm: Whether it's a child's room or a hallway with midnight foot traffic, a soft glow helps make new surroundings feel safer and more familiar.

• They're practical without being boring: Guests won’t trip over furniture, and kids can find the bathroom without turning on every light in the house.

• They work anywhere: Perfect for bedrooms, entryways, and yes, even bathrooms. Add a little humor with framed dog bathroom pictures nearby for a fun touch.

• They're wonderfully decorative: A pillow pet night light or wall-mounted pet glow can match almost any aesthetic, from rustic to modern.

• They're endlessly customizable: With pet-inspired designs, your gift reflects what matters most to the recipient.

• They add personality without overwhelm: It’s an easy way to bring pets into the space without committing to a full pet-themed décor.

The Crown & Paw Pet Night Light: What’s Included

Let’s talk a bit about the night lights that you can get from Crown & Paw. And if you are just shopping for yourself, don’t worry, we won’t judge. In fact, we encourage you to do so. 

Each pet portrait night light is designed to be as beautiful as it is functional. Your LED portrait arrives totally put together and ready to plug in right out of the box with no tools or assembly required. Hooks and stands are attached to every piece, so you can display it on a nightstand, bookshelf, or wall, wherever you like. And with a generous 1.5-meter cable length and USB power source (no batteries needed), your portrait can glow brightly for as long as it’s plugged in.

The portrait itself is printed onto a sleek acrylic sheet that provides the best lighting effect possible. It’s all framed in a hardwood-style MDF wood for a polished, modern finish.

Whether you’re ordering a cat night light or one of our lumi pets as part of a bundle, you’re getting something more than décor. You’re getting a thoughtful piece of home comfort that celebrates the pet who lights up your life.

Here are a few cozy extras to include:

• A small succulent: Easy to care for and always cheerful. Succulents are a low-maintenance way to add life to a space—no green thumb required.

• Treats for the pet: Personalized biscuits, catnip toys, or a new chew bone show that you remembered the furriest member of the family.

• Snacks for the humans, too: A gourmet chocolate bar, popcorn, or tea sampler can help them relax after a long day of unpacking.

• A handwritten card with a pet pun: Try something like “Wishing you a paws-itively perfect new home!” or “Hope your new place is the cat’s meow!”

And while we don’t offer an actual pillow pet night light, a custom throw pillow featuring their pet’s name or face pairs perfectly with their new Crown & Paw night light.
