Introduction
We've stuffed our 2004 Holiday Gift Guide with hundreds of different ideas that will help you
celebrate this wintery holiday season with your favorite furkid. Who else gives you sweet,
sloppy kisses all year long and cuddles with you during your Saturday afternoon nap? (Not to
mention all those walks you got taken on this year!) As Merry says, "It's time to show the love!"

Puppy Nursery Set |
It's the holidays, so naturally you and the puppy have got places to go and people to visit.
Visiting friends who've gotten a furbaby of their own? What could make a better gift than a
Puppy Nursery Set? Pictured here in pink, it's also available in blue and comes with everything you need to make
a puppy feel comfy in his or her new home. Also doubles as a travel kit if you and your pooch
are venturing far from home. ($54.00)
We all know how impossible it is to go anywhere without a
doggie bag, so don't try! The Doggie
Bag combines a stylish overnight bag with a comfy sleeping mat for dogs on the go. Unzip the
sides of the doggie bag to reveal the tufted mat. It's perfect for all your dog's travel
accessories: food, food dish, water dish, leashes and collar, favorite toys and treats, grooming
supplies and plastic bags. And what's more, it's machine washable! For the pooch on the go,
don't forget to check out our Travel area and our fantastic selection of carriers. If you've got to be away from home during the holidays, do it in style!
Of course, 'tis the season to make merry, so why not show everyone how much you care with some
seasonally inspired attire, toys and other goodies? Whether you and your furbaby celebrate
Hanukkah or Christmas or you just can't get enough red and green, our
Holiday
Inspired Gifts will have you and Fifi barking for more! (And who doesn't want more holidays?)
No one wants to be outdone this season. And there's no reason why your little pup should be left out of the more fashionable aspects winter. So what's hot? We've got three different areas of sizzling hot pooch fashions for you to choose from: Take a walk on the wild side with our
Wild Animal prints. Or maybe you're looking for a little
Geek Chic for that brainiac pug of yours? Of course, there is nothing more classic or timeless than a
little bit 'o tartan, so let's get a bit
Mad for Plaid, shall we?
What is more fun or special for you and your furbaby than all coordinating your winter
fashions? Whether you're going out running errands or just out walking off those holiday
cookies, we've got some great looks that you and the pumpkin can share. Take a look at our
Mommy and Me selections. Your little furkid wants to grow up to be just like you -
and now they can!
Speaking of winter, the holiday season is the perfect time to stock up on all the cold weather
garb and gear that you and your favorite puppy will need to keep warm and dry in the months
ahead. Cosy sweaters, warm coats, funky and stylish rain slickers and fab boots. What could be
better? If it has to be cold or rainy, your furkid might as well
spend the winter in
style!
Just because your furkid is a little bigger than the average bear, doesn't mean he or she
doesn't deserve to be pampered! We've scoured our collection to find a great selection of
products that are perfect for dogs that are a cut above the rest.
Large dogs
only, please!
What is a furmommy or daddy to do for the pooch that already has everything? If your little
pumpkin is like The Donald, we've compiled the ultimate,
ultra-luxurious
blow-the-bank gift guide for you. There is no other time of the year like the holiday to
invest in some major pieces for your little tail-wagger, be it the latest in designer, couture
fashions, a beautiful piece of furniture or a great carrier that is sure to turn heads.
Of course, you may not have a dog of your own, but everyone has at least one pet lover on their
list. We've got the low-down on what to give that two-legged pooch lover. Since everyone loves a
little bling-bling for the holiday, be sure to check out our beautiful jewelry for
pet lovers.
If you want to give the gift of style, information and the ultimate in dog
lifestyling, a year-long subscription to the Bark magazine
would be a great gift for any of your dog-loving friends on your list this year.
And let's not forget that
dogs have dads too! For Furdaddies, Saks Fifth
Avenue has the Charvet
Dog Silk Tie, a beautiful silk tie in a dog motif, available in black, red and silver.
($155. Made in France.) We also love the Robin
Rotenier Dog Bone cufflinks, sterling silver cufflinks in a big dog bone/small dog bone
design. Very fun and stylish! ($195) Or if you prefer, they have Dachshund
Cufflinks from the same collection, with a sterling silver Daschaund on one side with a
small bone on the other. ($195) See our entire selection of great products for pet
lovers!
The princess pug, of course, has some ideas of her own. Merry's been running herself ragged
trying to finish her long, long letter to dear Santa Claus. And wow, she's asking for the moon
this year! Check out Merry's
Dear Santa letter to get some great "Merry-approved" gift ideas for your own little prince or princess.
From all of us at Pampered Puppy to all of you, may your holiday season be bright, festive,
safe and very merry!
