For years one of my favorite places online for great gifts has been Red Envelope. Their items are well-made, classy, and unique.
They recently introduced a new pet collection which, like all of their other items, is filled with unique, beautiful, and classic items for you and your pet.
This pet desktop keepsake frame is a great gift or addition to your desk or home, and currently on sale for $25 (from $35). Made of pine and available in mahogany or black, the shadowbox keepsake frame holds a paw print alongside a favorite photo. The set includes no-mess, non-toxic impression material; white, acid-free mats; a tan background board for the print; and a glass-covered pine frame. It also includes a wooden rolling pin, shaping ruler and double-sided tape.
It's not uncommon for people to comment on the amount of photographs I have taken of my dog. Ok, I admit it... I like taking a lot of pictures. I usually compile them all into a book, designated just for my dog (and usually it goes unopened). Until now...
At Picturedpets.com, you can find all kinds of pet picture frames to display all your pictures of your furry friend. Oh, and it's not just dogs either. They have a wide variety of cat frames to choose from as well. All the frames at Picturedpets.com are made from either pewter, wood, glass or metal. You can even find frames with a little glitz, if that is your style.
These frames would make a great gift for a new puppy owner, or an older puppy owner who just has so many pictures and no where to put them... like me!
So, surf over to Picturedpets.com and find a new picture frame for your fur baby. After all, your pet is a member of your family and should also be displayed for all to see. At checkout, mention "swankypup" and receive 10% off any purchase.
I recently got the urge to redecorate the bathroom my daughter uses. Since she loves dogs, I thought about looking for dog themed bathroom accessories (shower curtain, rug, soap dispenser, toothbrush holder, etc).
On the website kayceeskorner.com, I found fantastic towels that I know would go great in the bathroom. What's better, they come in a variety of colors to match whatever colors I am going to accent the room with. Each towel is 100% cotton and measures 30"x54" in length. They are machine washable and the stencil that adorns the edge of the towel, will not come off in the wash.
These towels from kayceeskorner.com are not only useful for people, but can also be for your dog to use. Now that the weather is getting nicer here in the northeast, my dog and I are taking more and more walks outside. More often than not, he comes back muddy and wet. The towel is great to have by the door, so I can give him a quick rub down before letting him roam the house.

I just got back from a week long trip to Disney World. It was awesome, and the shopping was even better! I didn't realize what cool stuff Disney makes, including items for your pets!
One of my favorite items down there were vintage Mickey shirts. I ended up getting one for each member of my family, and I also found one for my dog! This rhinestone-studded vintage Mickey T-shirt is perfect for your pup and comes in sizes XS, S, and M. Currently on sale for $8.99, it truly is a big bargain.

Have you ever gotten a piece of artwork that was just so terrific, you wanted to show anyone who came over to your house? Well, I did and the best part about it, is that it is a treat jar for my dog. I found this treasure at Fauxpawproductions.com. With a little paint and a paintbrush, the artist can make any dog or cat look like a whimsical, cartoon character doing everything from daydreaming on a sofa, to a dog chasing a cat around a house. Fauxpawproductions.com has a variety of dog and cat supplies to choose from. They not only decorate treat jars, but there are food and water bowls, as well. In addition, your pet can be painted on a trivet, a cookie jar or a spoon rest. The artist asks that you send a picture of your pet to her, so that she can replicate what your pet looks like and then she makes your pet come alive on her ceramic canvas. If you know someone who has just gotten a new furry friend, or just wants to get a really unique gift, check out Fauxpawproductions.com.

When we first got my dog, it was very important that he have an I.D. tag. His first tag, was your basic metal tag. Then we got him a "fancy" tag that we had engraved for him with all his important information on it, as well as, a line that said he was allergic to chicken. This was a great tag, but it was too heavy for him to wear all the time. I was on a mission to find a tag that would be able to include all his ID information and the line about his food allergy. But, I wanted it to be light around his neck.
I came across a website called 1cutepooch.com. Right on the first page, I found the answer to my problem. This website carries a plastic, dog tags called PL8S 4 Pets. On one side of the tag, you can pick out the state license plate to match where your pet lives. In the middle of the tag, 1cutepooch.com prints out your dog's name. On the other side, there is a small picture of my dog in the corner, and then all his information. It also has room for that extra line of information about your dog.
We have gotten so many compliments on his new tag. People don't even ask us our dog's name anymore because they can see it for themselves. It makes a great gift for Valentine's Day. They have tags now for Valentine's Day with hearts on them. They come in either blue or pink. Order PL8S 4 Pets today from 1cutepooch.com and don't forget to include the coupon code "theswankypup" for 10% off your order.

Order your box of Peanut Butter Carob Bark Bars today at canineparties.com and receive it in time for Valentine's Day. Don't forget to add coupon code PCC1107 for 10% off your order.
Finally, jewelry for the style-conscious dog-lover!
It is well known by my family and friends that I love dogs and I have received many dog-themed gifts to help me show my love for the furry little things. Dog breed pins, key chains, t-shirts and charm bracelets are just a few of these gifts worth mentioning, though none yet have allowed me to express my love for dogs in a stylish and trendy way. That is, until I received a package from Ashley and Co.
When I opened the box I found a beautiful black box with a simple paw-print ribbon tied in a neat bow around it. Inside there was a beautiful, delicate paw print necklace in sterling silver and a matching charm for my dog’s collar. It was simple, unique and exactly what I have been looking for…a trendy way to show off my love for dogs.
Not only do I love the style and quality of my new Ashley & Co. necklace, I also love that Baxter and I have matching jewelry to demonstrate our special bond and that he looks stylish too. Best of all, a portion of each sale goes to helping less fortunate pups so while you are spoiling yourself, you are doing a good deed at the same time.
They have fabulous sterling necklaces and collar charms like Baxter and I have been showing off, they also have earrings, bracelets, key chains and more in a variety of sizes and in sterling and gold. I am extremely impressed with my new jewelry from Ashley and Co. and any swanky pup owner looking for a great way to display their love of dogs will be extremely satisfied.
Do you love surprises? I do, and I was surprised and delighted when my dog Baxter and I received a package from Surprise a Pet. The surprise arrived in a beautiful red box, wrapped in ribbon with a minty dog bone attached to the bow. Inside there were great, unique products that you can’t find at any old pet store.
My Surprise a Pet present included a delicious smelling Y.U.M. mist from Indigo Wild, which made me happy when Baxter instantly smelled better…no bath needed! Our present also came with the Fling Thing by West Paw Design (which is a durable upgrade from a regular Frisbee) and Good Dog hand-baked treats in the blueberry cobbler flavor. Every item in the box was a hit with my pup and it was exciting unwrapping it and letting my dog enjoy the goodies inside.
A gift from Surprise a Pet is an amazing way to spoil a special dog in your life and show them you love them. There are lots of presents to chose from like Spa Dog, Spoil Me, Fun in the Sun and New Puppy and their Christmas present is perfect for the holidays.
Once you receive one surprise you will be addicted! For surprise-addicts like me, join the country’s first gift club for dogs at Surprise a Pet for a fabulous surprise month after month…your dog will love you for it.
