Maggie and Oatmeal are $198 each at Olive & Cocoa.

An idea for the animal lover who has everything: These recycled newspaper pets from the design-driven cataloge Olive & Cocoa may look cute and cuddly enough to be a tot’s favorite stuffed friend, but in fact “Maggie & Oatmeal,” the Labrador and Cavachon respectively, feature very grown-up craftsmanship. They are little collectible works of art that stand just over a foot tall and arrive already wrapped. “A unique gift for a special person,” one fan of the pair wrote in an online review. $198 each at oliveandcocoa.com.
