The day after Thanksgiving is traditionally a big shopping day. I am much more of a last-minute shopper (some say shopping "procrastinator"), but each year I entertain thoughts of starting early and being organized.
The Internet helps. I enjoy surfing from store to store online, not worrying about crowds or the weather. It is a great way to search for the perfect gift on any day, at any hour.
Gift Guide
I have created a list of gift items that I think are great ideas for pets and their people. It is a mix of items I have personally reviewed and items that I find interesting.
Got Gift Ideas?
I know what I like, but there are so many choices out there that I am sure I miss many great items and ideas. Please share your favorite gift ideas for pets and pet people.
Let's Not Forget...
The tough economy has shelters everywhere overflowing with animals that need homes. Young, old, purebreds and mixed breeds all in search of a place to call "home" - if you are considering adding a pet to your family this year, please contact your local shelter or humane organization. They are more than ready to help.
If you can't adopt at this time, consider gifting the shelter of your choice with even the simplest of items - old towels, pet collars and bowls you no longer need, cash, food, your time, anything will help. Please call or check the web site of your local organizations - most have "wish lists" of items that they need to help animals in their care.
