‘Tis the season when catalogs clutter our mailboxes. Unlike some people who immediately toss them, I shop them. I never know what I might find, and this year I found a ton of cool stuff for pet and animal lovers and owners as well as for pets themselves.
I don’t know if it’s because I’m paying more attention this year or if the catalog companies have caught on to our passion for pets. Whatever it is, it does seem like every catalog this year offered a bunch more pet products than ever before.
Whether you’re a dog person, cat person, crazy for horses, or nuts about wildlife, you can find all manner of gifts –from clothes, ornaments, and home décor to books, calendars, jewelry and other accessories. Even better, you can find any price range to find something for any pets or their people on your gift list.
And speaking of pets…holy cow, catalogs advertise everything and anything they could possibly need or want too. Beds, bowls, accessories for bowls, collars, leashes, litter boxes, toys, bath products, clothes, and so much more.
Over the next few days I’ll write about some of my favorite catalog finds, but below is a list of the catalogs I like to shop most with explanations why that’s the case.
I always seem to find something in this catalog that cracks me up or that I think is novel. And their prices are pretty reasonable so if I do find something I like I can also usually afford it.
They have about the cutest cat and dog lovers-themed clothing around, in my humble opinion.
For selection, they rank right up there with the big chain brick and mortar stores like Petco or Petsmart…but I don’t have to drive there. Whatever I order is shipped to me.
This catalog is a little on the higher end side and most items are out of my price range, but I really enjoy admiring all the stuff. It’s all dogs…either for them or for those of us who love them.
Not only do they have unique gifts at great prices, they have lots of ones that can be personalized. In particular, ornaments.
They have a section dedicated to pets and pet owners with items from shirts to mugs that can be personalized. (I always think personalization makes a nice sentimental touch.)
