DogBoston’s Dog Blog

My wife and I are trying to get all of our shopping done online this year… that way, we avoid the mall mess and save a lot of money by buying thoughtful, yet affordable gifts. Somehow she always ends up finding the neatest websites to order stuff from.

We were looking for online pet gift baskets and found Blooming Cookies which looks like it will do the trick (and has free ground shipping)! Seems like shipping charges are slowly becoming a thing of the past.

Two of my wifes favorite websites are Mighty Goods and Etsy.com. Mighty Goods is a blog that reviews interesting things for sale online. Etsy is a marketplace for handmade and craft-oriented items. Here’s a few dog oriented items from each site:

Here’s another one I just thought of… a neat idea, if I might pat myself on the back.. An annual Parks Pass from the state. Entitles you to a years supply of free state park visits… so you can walk your dog in more places, without paying a daily fee.
