Get your pets into the spirit of Day of the Dead, or honor the memory of an old furry friend. More than just Mexico's answer to Halloween, Día de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, is essentially partying with the dead. A national holiday in Mexico, and observed in other regions in Latin America and Europe, the two-day holiday on Nov. 1 and 2 honors the departed in a celebratory manner, remembering loved ones through funny anecdotes and happy memories. Family members come together to remember the deceased by building altars and "welcoming" the spirits of loved ones home. So why should your pet be excluded from the family fun? Here are 15 great finds from Etsy that will help your kitty or pooch get festive or help you honor a dearly departed pet.
I can't imagine why this dog seems so sad — look at all those presents! I've already shared one gift guide idea but there are plenty more to come. Before we dive right in to shopping, let's talk common cents and dollars. 
You may not be one of those people decorating with pets on a large scale, but I love these Blueblood teatowels and napkins for the subtle silhouette. They're named for a luxe resort area near Puerto Vallarta in Mexico, and even the color choices (Palapa and Seaglass) make me dream of a beachy vacation.
Shipping on Oct. 1, not only are the towels super cute, there are beds to match — Lucky dogs! Check all out in the widget below.
Emblazoned with monograms in place of fur, these charms function as either a collar charm for Fido or a key chain for you. If your pets can't get enough of Gucci, check out the new line of Guccioli charms in several breeds to match that fancy backpack from years' past.
Those cool cake toppers over on YumSugar got me thinking of all these silly couples I've seen in the past. While at a first, distant glance, some could appear to be just an ordinary couple — well, maybe not the squirrelly tail and big bunny ears — but they're rather funny for those with a creative sense of humor.
There are plenty of matchups available in the Melabo shop on Etsy so check them out in the gallery when you read more
Do you need good karma . . . or perhaps a cheeky present? These decks are anything but traditional as both the Karma Coaching Cards for Dog Lovers and The Karma Coaching Cards for Cat Lovers are currently on sale for $10 while supplies last.
Each pack offers plenty of ways to bring good into your daily lives and I'm imagining these suggestions for positivity go beyond the don't-leave-poop-on-the-street idea but you'd have to deal the cards to see if any ideas got lost in the shuffle. Would you wanna play?
We celebrated Sadie's big win and learned all about the breed (then had a test!), so now let's bring a piece of this covetable canine home. I've gathered a bunch of Scottie-themed items for you (like that pretty necklace), a Juicy tee for your sweet pooch, and there's even a lil something for the Mister, too.
One of my favorite sweaters when I was younger had a tiny black terrier with a tartan bow — check it out these adult appropriate items and, if you own something featuring a Scottish Terrier, tell me all about it in the comments when you're done clicking!
Though it's there for good reason, the cone of shame certainly makes pups look rather silly while scampering down the street. Naturally when I saw this shirt referenced on my favorite vet blog, Dolittler, I had to hunt it down for myself.
Featuring a super cute smooshy, it comes in a wide range of colors printed on an American Apparel tee for just under $30. I can think of a handful of friends who would love this sentiment 'cause, while necessary, wearing that headgear during a walk in the park is no walk the park for anyone, four-legged or not.
Someone was very lucky this holiday season, yay! Not only did North receive plenty o' pressies, I did, too. Since he's yet to master the task of handwriting (pencils = yum), I have to compose all the gift cards on our behalf. I wanted to find a little something special this year and these unique cards from Fire Hydrant Press are just what I need.
Not only are there a bunch of breed silhouettes, fonts, and colors, but if you'd like your exact pet's likeness, email in a picture and it'll design the image for you. The shop also sells calendars, prints, and gift tags, but my second favorite item is surely its doggie calling cards, perfect to pass out at the park for pup's next playdate!
