A Look for Every Celebration: The Holiday Collection & Our Upgraded Design Studio
The holidays are all about who we spend them with. At basil & friends, we believe our pets shouldn't just be part of our everyday routines. They deserve to be at the center of our biggest celebrations.
As we approach the most magical time of the year, we've made a major update to The Spotlight experience. We haven't just added new designs. We've upgraded our design studio to give you ultimate creative freedom.
Here is what's new.
1. New Holiday Pet Collar Projector Designs
We've curated a series of limited-edition templates, designed to carry your pet's portrait through the festive season.
- Trick or Treat: Spooky, playful, and perfect for Halloween nights.
- Merry Christmas: Cozy, classic, and wrapped in winter magic.
- Happy New Year: Popping champagne and celebrating their Golden Age as we step into 2027.
- Lunar New Year: A festive red and gold look for the new lunar year.
The lenses slide into your Spotlight with no tools. Keep a few in your pocket and swap them mid-walk when the mood shifts, from Halloween to Christmas to the New Year.
2. Ultimate Customization: You Are the Designer
We know every pet has their own unique personality. Some are goofy, some are elegant, and some are a little bit of both. That's why we've introduced our new Interactive Sticker Studio, and it works with every design in our library, holiday or not.
You are no longer limited to static designs. Now, you have the freedom to:
- Add festive props: Drag and drop Santa hats, Halloween bats, snowflakes, or champagne glasses directly onto your pet's portrait.
- Remove and adjust: Want a cleaner look? Remove elements, scale them up, or move them around until the design feels exactly right.
- Make it yours: Add your pet's name, choose a text layout and style, or upload a different photo for a friend's pet.
You see every change as you make it in our 3D Preview Engine, so what you approve is what we craft. It also makes a thoughtful present: our gift guide for pet parents covers the rest.
3. Two Ways to Get the New Designs
The upgraded studio is the same for everyone, so you can use the new templates and stickers whichever way you shop.
- Already have a Spotlight? Get the Holiday Lenses Set: any 3 holiday designs for USD $29.90. It includes lenses only, and they slide straight into the projector you own.
- New to The Spotlight? The Spotlight starts at USD $69.90 with 1 lens, USD $79.90 with 2, or USD $86.90 with 3, and ships free worldwide. It's a compact 29g clip-on projector that casts your pet's face and name onto the path ahead, made from your pet's photo rather than a breed template.
4. Make Their Golden Age Shine
Technology shouldn't isolate us. It should deepen our connection to the moments that matter. With this upgraded design experience, you can make sure your pet shines brightly in their Golden Age, exactly how you imagine it. If you're curious how this started, here is why we built the projector in the first place.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's new in the basil & friends design studio?
New limited-edition holiday templates for Halloween, Christmas, New Year and Lunar New Year, plus an Interactive Sticker Studio. You can add props such as Santa hats and champagne glasses, move, resize or remove them, edit your pet's name and text style, and preview the result in 3D before checkout.
What is the Holiday Lenses Set?
It's a 3-pack where you pick any three holiday designs for USD $29.90. It contains lenses only, for owners who already have a Spotlight. The lenses are made only for the basil & friends Spotlight and won't fit other devices.
I don't have a Spotlight yet. Where do I start?
Start with The Spotlight, from USD $69.90, which includes 1 to 3 custom lenses and ships free worldwide. You can design with the same new templates and sticker studio.
Will it work with my pet's current collar/harness?
Yes. The Spotlight uses a quick clip for standard collars and a secure strap for thicker harnesses. It needs no app, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, and it weighs just 29g.
How long does it take to arrive, and is shipping free?
Every lens is custom-made to order. Allow 3-4 business days for production, then about 2-4 business days for global transit. Shipping is free worldwide on orders of USD $50 or more, which includes every Spotlight. The Holiday Lenses Set on its own is under that, so shipping is charged at checkout unless you add it to a Spotlight order.
Warmly,
Cinry & Basil 🐾
