Darling Mother's Day Gifts For Dog Moms

PetSugar — Fri, 08 May 2009 06:00:37 -0700

I don't know about you, but I expect my lil guy to spoil me rotten this Sunday in honor of Mother's Day. Sure, he can't serve me gingerbread pancakes in bed or call my favorite salon for a mani-pedi appointment, but I'll be celebrating my doggie motherhood with the best of them - champagne glass (and leash!) in hand.

Take action for your favorite dog by gifting his mom with a token honoring her unconditional love. The Un Apres-Midi de Chien tote ($188) adds a little fashion to routine walkies and has plenty of room for pooper scooper gear, treats and a water bottle (and a detachable dog charm to boot). If mama is on the practical side, you might consider celebrating her doggiehood with new pair of sneakers or elegant pup shaped soaps.

Remember, it's not doggie's birthday, but a holiday to recognize your favorite hound mom (even if it is yourself!) so get something for mama. Hey North, you may be my bestie, but I'm hoping for a girl's best friend. Hint. Hint.

Puurrrfect Mother's Day Gifts For Cat Moms

PetSugar — Thu, 07 May 2009 13:30:31 -0700

If you ask me, Sunday isn't just about traditional Mother's Day celebrations. It's about celebrating the mama in us all - whether we push a stroller, take care of four-legged creatures, or both. Take the effortlessly chic BellaSugar for example. She's mom to two darling cats and deserves a tribute token or two for the love she shares with them all year.

If you're in the market for the purrrfect gift for a cat mom think chic, fierce, and sophisticated. This Markus Lupfer Rachel cat print tee ($135) will help any catwoman feel comfy and cute while picking up kitty litter on Saturdays. If your budget is a little tighter, consider elegant Gianna Rose Atellier cat soap ($21).

There are plenty of ways to show you care, whether it be for your own mom, aunts, cousins, and friends. We can all celebrate! So before you go toasting your mimosas to the Cat Mom on Sunday, check out my handy-dandy widget of cool gifts to bring along.

Gifts for the Cat Mom

PetSugar — Thu, 08 May 2008 10:00:08 -0700

I know I've mentioned before that I'm not a Cat Mom myself, but have fond memories of my first cat when I was younger. What I do have, however, is plenty of pals that are Cat Moms and are without children of the human kind. Since I'm guessing that all of us here love our pets as if they were children, why not extend the love of Mom's Day to those who have furry babies? I've already shown you some great ideas for the Dog Mom in your life, so what about all those feline lovers?

Your Cat's Just Not That Into You ($9)	Red Tango Weekend Bag ($65)
Kitty Kit Stationery Set ($45)	Hygiene Shovel With Carrier ($18)
Pet Laundry Wash ($10)	Red Tango Retro Swirl Cat Mirror Compact ($8)	Cat Ecards for Mothers Day

Wacky Pet's Eye View Camera for Nosy Pet Moms

PetSugar — Wed, 07 May 2008 08:00:34 -0700

Although the concept of the Digital Pet Cam – allowing you to peek in on your homebound pals during the workday – is pretty sweet, this one might be too wacky for my taste . . . plus I'm sure North would have it as a snack before the day is through! Found on Gizmodo, the Pet's Eye View Cam ($50) attaches to your dog's collar for a new perspective on what Fido does while you're hitting the grind. But, to be fair, it's coming from a kids' website so it might be cool to see what it's like to be a dog for a day when you're nine years old!

This USB cam takes photos in intervals of one, five, and fifteen minutes, and stores up to 35 photos in its internal memory. Although you can't view the photos right away like the digital pet cam, it does come with the appropriate cable so you can download the snapshots and print up to 4x6 prints . . . if you think the piccys are interesting enough to print that is! It might make a great gift for a gadget-loving kid, or as a fun little Mother's Day gift for a dog mom with a sense of humor.

What's Your Fave Thing to Buy for Your Pet?

PetSugar — Wed, 07 May 2008 00:30:58 -0700

I must have a weakness for street punk style, since I've acquired plenty of rockin tees and sweaters for North to wear around town, or even just around the house when it's chilly. I know some pets who are totally spoiled rotten and get their blueberry facials more often than I can even get to the nail salon for a manicure! I know we all like to pamper our four legged balls of fur, so tell me, what's your favorite thing to buy for your pet?

Dog Breaks Ice

PetSugar — Fri, 04 Apr 2008 07:00:59 -0700

In this week's episode of How I Met Your Mother Neil Patrick Harris' lady-killer character attempted to pick up a woman at a pet store. He was unsuccessful, but his attempt made me realize how often people use cute pets to strike up conversations with strangers.

Is it just me or do people become more attractive when they are with their pets?

New Year of Gifts: Wild Calendars

PetSugar — Wed, 02 Jan 2008 14:00:23 -0800

Ever since I could tell May from June, my mom would let me choose a new calendar for Christmas each year. Not surprisingly, almost every time they featured some sort of animal. To kick off the month of January, here are some super-cute calendar ideas to add to your home or office. From monthly ones to those that feature adorable critters 365 days a year, it's a great way to have a furry friend put a quick smile on your face! I've collected some of my favorites in a widget below so read more to check them out.

Gag Gift: Unleash Your Inner Pigeon

PetSugar — Thu, 13 Dec 2007 08:00:42 -0800

You may recall my semi-traumatic pigeon incident, but even if you don't, suffice to say I still imagine any bird who sweeps too close to be two flutters away from landing in my hair. However, for those of you who do desire to get a close-up view of a pigeon (or have an easy target like me), I've got the perfect gift for you.

This handmade pigeon birdcall not only beckons the birdies to you, but also can be used to ~~terrify~~ remind others who have spent time in bird-filled cities like Manhattan of the calls of the urban wild. Before buying this gag gift, test its worth by seeing how many you can trick when you play the realistic demo
in public. Fun for you . . . for others, maybe not so much.

Gag Gift: Bumper Stickers

PetSugar — Wed, 28 Nov 2007 12:15:03 -0800

No car, no problem! I prefer my car unblemished, anyway, but I love to add stickers to notebooks or storage trunks ... there's nothing wrong with embracing your inner grade schooler! For today's gag gift idea, I've sniffed out some silly bumper stickers to express your impressions of your friends, families, and their relationships with pets. At around $3 a pop, it's money well spent for a giggle so read more

Gag Gift: How Much Do You Weigh?

PetSugar — Mon, 26 Nov 2007 12:30:04 -0800

Stepping on the scale becomes slightly less scary when your weight pops up in animals, not numbers! With creatures like bunnies, frogs, and bears featured on this scale, do you rank closer to a little duckling or a wild boar? Although the manufacturer's name is Angry, hopefully friends and family will actually see the humor in this gag gift that comes in a celebrity version, too! Either one totals up to $77 (including the overseas shipping) – it takes about four weeks to arrive from Ireland, just in time for a weigh in postholiday dinner!
