If you follow me on Instagram, you know that I positively adore dogs. Every time I go to Seattle, I make a special point to see one very important pooch, Frankie. I’ve been in his life ever since he was a wee little pup and now, even though I live 3,000 miles away, I love to keep up with whatever insanity he’s gotten into — whether it’s still not knowing how to play fetch properly or shredding the mail. Here in Philly, it’s a bit tough for me to have a dog of my own, so I volunteer at a local shelter called Operation Ava on Friday and Saturday nights. No matter what mood I’m in, those pups ({and kitties!} perk me right up. Seriously, volunteering at the shelter is one of the most gratifying things I’ve ever done.

Here are a few pup-tastic treats that I think Frankie {or Maria… or Carson…} would love:

1. RecycleBone from Branch
2. Natural leash from Domestic Beast — they are offering $2 shipping all month on gifts!
3. Dog bone ornaments from Uncommon Goods
4. Urban Country bowl from Domestic Beast
5. Crocheted bone from Terrain
6. Bow tie collar from Silly Buddy — Frankie would look so dapper in this!
7. Brush from ORE Originals

Have you heard? I’m a bit of a cat lady. Georgette is basically my bff for life — she knows how to read my moods, knows the best way to cuddle, and always looks happy to see me. Usually, I get her one of those stockings full of jingly jangly toys, but this year I’m feeling a bit sappy and want to change it up for her. You know, so she knows I care. Obviously.

Here are some purr-fect gifts for your little fuzz faces {I had to!!}:

1. Kittypod plush pillow
2. Treats tin from Domestic Beast — they are offering $2 shipping for all gifts!
3. Bakers’ twine from Anthropologie — not just for gift wrapping!
4. Slurp cat bowl from Mungo & Maud
5. DJ cat scratching pad from Uncommon Goods
6. Recycled canvas pounce toy from ORE Originals
7. Cat nip garden in a bag from Branch
8. Pod bed from GSelect
