Much to Wayne’s chagrin, it’s that time of year when our mailbox comes under assault by relentless rounds of catalogs. I have to admit I do buy my fair share of things from them. But what I love most is curling up on the couch and perusing all the different wares. I never know what I might find!
This year I’ve come across some neat things I’ve never seen before, as well as some favorites from years past. I thought I’d make a list of them to help me keep track of what I might want to gift to who this year. Maybe it’ll spark gift ideas for you too and help you cross off the dogs and dog lovers on your holiday shopping list.
I’m breaking them down by catalogs where I find them. In this installment I’m listing products found from the What on Earth and Wireless catalogs.
From the What on Earth Catalog
- Pup Snacks Cookbook & Baking Pan: This bone-shaped baking pan comes with a recipe book from the UK’s purported premier bakery for dogs. The bakers out there will love it, and their dogs will enjoy taste testing the concoctions! $15.95 for the cookbook; $24.95 for the baking pan.
- Dog Toilet Water Bowl: Got a dog who likes to drink out of the toilet? Is it a habit that grosses you out? Solve it by giving your hound his very own drinking potty! $24.95.
- Funny Sayings Dog Doormats: These doormats crack me up everytime I see them. They say things like “Don’t make me come out there. –Dog.” “Ask not for whom the dog barks. It barks for thee.” and “Beware: Dog can’t hold its licker.” $19.95 each.
From the Wireless Catalog
- Dog Lessons for People Plaque: I wish I had the power to sum up the poignant life lessons dogs have for us everyday like whoever came up with this plaque. It’s simple, yet strong. Just like most dogs we know and love. $24.95.
- Official K-9 Clean-Up Crew: In the Company of Dogs also had a similar product that made me think of Aimee and the poop problems she has at her complex. I’m thinking with so many types of shirts, she might not be the only one having such problems. $27.95-$29.95 for the sweatshirt; $17.95-$19.95 for the T-shirt.
