Animal print is having a moment. Well, let’s face it. Animal print has stayed relevant while somehow reinventing itself for decades. We love prints and patterns inspired by the animal kingdom, and many of our signature pieces draw on nature’s magical palette. You don’t need to be wild to love animal print, but it will add the perfect primal accent to your loved one’s home and makes the ideal gift for the animal print lover in your life!


Zebra, leopard, and cheetah, oh my. And some other animals, too! Let’s dive in. 


9 Leopard Animal Print Gift Ideas


Leopards are sleek, majestic, and let’s face it, just downright stunning. Leopard is the perfect animal print, pattern, or shape to start your gift giving journey in any season.


A set of four gold-toned napkin rings with an elegantly-reclining leopard are a fun gift fo the entertainer or host/hostess in your life. Or, select the leopard ginger jar napkin rings for a different, but equally gorgeous vibe.

SmithHönig's signature large animal print matchboxes make a unique gift or stocking stuffer but make sure to order these in time - they're hand made in small batches and they sell out every year! Two unique designs feature big cats.

And if you're headed to an ornament exchange, consider these leopard or cheetah Christmas ornaments.

Consider a handmade velvet pillow cover in SmithHönig's signature "Fancy Pants" leopard animal print for a new homeowner or decor enthusiast. These are high-quality designer covers and hand sewn. (You can purchase the entire luxurious pillow, too, and they come in three sizes). Frankly, this type of animal print is practically a neutral.

Another idea? Handmade animal print beaded coasters. They come in sets of four and are hand-beaded. Beautiful and make a great presentation for an animal print lover!

2 Tiger Animal Print Gift Ideas


Subtle tigers lurk in the borders of these beautiful starter or dessert plates from British designer Roshan Adam-Holslag, celebrating his Indo-Persian roots. More great gifting for those who love to set a beautiful and unique table.

11 Zebra Print Gift Ideas


We love Zebra print at SmithHonig! Zebra has been included in our animal print pattern collections from the very beginning (our Sebra Stripe pillow is our number one bestseller!)


Here are some more of our favorite striped gift ideas:


Let's start with these gorgeous beaded zebra placemats and/or coasters from designer Joanna Buchanan.



These two stylish acrylic pieces feature SmithHönig's iconic Sebra Stripe pattern and will add a little wild charm to any space. The signature epoxied matchbox is a best seller! For a less literal and more organic option, consider a hand carved zebra calcite bowl.

Animal print gifts are always stylish and these luxe and blingy items from Joanna Buchanan and Nima Oberoi are perfect examples - sure to be memorably luxurious gifts!

And what maximalist on your list wouldn't love a flamboyant and unexpected velvet zebra pillow? Both are hand sewn and feature a SmithHönig signature animal print. One has the added bonus of luxe and fun faux fur on the reverse..

There's also the signature Sebra Stripe tote featuring interior pockets, and vegan handles. The custom fabric is water resistant and the bag can hold everything your gift recipient needs in a day. Great for travel, too.

OK, Less Animal Print - More Animal Inspired


Want to surprise someone with a bit of a rustic flare? Try a gift featuring stags or deer. So many to choose from:

For the elephant lover, consider a pair of handpainted ceramic pachyderms, pewter napkin rings, or for a serious splurge - the magnificent elephant ice bucket or snack bowls, below!

Animal print gifts make a memorable impression and whether it's leopard print, zebra print, or simply animal-inspired, these gift selections are sure to please. 


BONUS: Leopard Peel and Stick Wallpaper



Maybe it's not a typical gift. Maybe it's for you! Thinking about redecorating that powder room but just can’t commit? SmithHonig’s totally removable, repositionable, wipeable, and easy to install leopard print wallpaper is the answer. Boom. Instant accent wall. Comes in three colorways -- and fabric, too!
