Cat frivolous purchase suggestions

I know from another thread that lots of cats do get Xmas presents but I always find it hard to find lovely cat purchases.
Im looking for inspiration for my two plus the two cats they have drawn in the wider family cat secret Santa plus I am two times cat grandma as each of my DSs has a cat so quite a lot of shopping!
my male Maine coon has a track record of destruction so robustness is a bonus for him! He loves a cat teaser but they literally last about five mins before he snaps the elastic.

A new Molly's mouse and some turkey. That's the limit of my Christmas largesse towards the cats 🤣.

My cats reject over 90% of items bought for them, so like the PP, they will be getting a very generous portion of turkey as their gift.
DCat2 is a kitten and has yet to experience Xmas. He still hasn't quite learnt yet to (at the very least) keep off the kitchen surfaces in our presence and is shameless about trying to snatch food, so we will have to watch him closely and make sure everything is kept covered or put away. Judging from how he is on the odd occasion we have roast chicken, I suspect he will be sat next to the oven from about 30 mins after the turkey goes in until it is ready to serve and he is too full of turkey to move.
DCat1 is 13yo and a seasoned pro. She will appear about 2 minutes after it comes out of the oven to rest and wait patiently, gazing up with her best 'puss in boots from Shrek' look.

Will you adopt me, please? I really want to be part of a family with a cat secret santa!

Mine likes those corrugated cardboard scratching things.

There are 12 cats in the Secret Santa! Not as pressured as the office one but always nice to find something memorable 🤣

My two love their furry self-heating blanket - at least one of them is normally on it.
