Holiday Gift Ideas
Gifts ideas for your furry friends
Holiday shoppers who are busy making
lists and checking them twice should make
sure they don’t overlook the family pet.
Christmas has gone to the cats and dogs, as
a greater number of people include their
companion animals when selecting gifts
each year.
A study by OnePoll conducted by
Rover.com, the nation’s largest network of
dog sitters and walkers, found that 95 percent
of pet owners have bought holiday
gifts for their pets. Gifts can range from
everyday needs, like food and treats, to
more lavish extravagances like spa treatments.
Pet owners who plan to get their pets
gifts this year may want to consider some
of the emerging pet trends as they browse
wares and services. The Balance, a business,
career and industry information site,
says pet industry trends point toward
these segments seeing growth.
Natural pet products
Just as people are interested in protecting
the health of the planet and their own
personal health, so, too, are they extending
this concern to companion animals.
Natural pet products, which can include
natural flea and tick remedies, holistic
foods, organic items, and all-natural
grooming products, can make great gifts.
Specialty pet services
The American Pet Products Association
says the demand for high-end pet grooming
and other services is substantial. In addition,
personalized training, behavioral consulting,
portrait photography, dog sitting,
and upscale spa treatments like pet Reiki
and massage are booming.
Mobile pet grooming
Mobile pet grooming has become the
norm in many areas. Mobile pet grooming
can reduce the potential stress on animals,
and tends to be very convenient for customers,
particularly seniors and others
Get out of the house and ring in 2023 at a New
Year’s Eve party that is rated one of the best in
Columbus.
The Crowne Plaza Hotel, 6500 Doubletree
Ave., will host Mike Albert and The Big “E” Band
at this 16th annual New Year’s Eve bash.
Albert is an award winning “Elvis Presley
impersonator.” His wardrobe, voice and amazing
wit makes for a wonderful show.
You can get a full service dinner, drinks, room,
hats and horns, champaign toast at midnight along
with a full breakfast New Year’s Day for only
who have mobility issues.
Beyond these growing trends, pet owners
have a bevy of other ideas from which
to choose. Here are just a few different suggestions:
• tests to detect pets’ DNA and trace
breed and ancestry,
• interactive puzzles to keep pets
engaged and banish boredom,
• stylish storage baskets for pet toys,
• hidden cat litter or dog crate items
that camouflage commonly used pet items,
• heated pet bed for cozy nights and
mornings, and
• signature vests, coats and sweaters to
look good and remain comfortable.
