I think we all have received a disappointing gift. The awkward reaction, not wanting to offend anyone, but also silently questioning if they know you at all. I don't think I am difficult to shop for. Obsessed with my dogs, love Tito's and Eminem, pretty much anything you get me associated with those things is a win. But a few very to the point ideas never hurt.

The great thing about this shirt is the duel purpose it serves. It combines two things I love (dogs and booze) but Tito's Vodka also donates the net proceeds from their wearables to charity!

Another fabulous option that combines my loves is Winedog. It's a gift box with a subscription option, that sends wine (or beer) themed products for you and your dog! Angie has always been a wonderful support to my foster dogs, sending us fun boxes to enjoy with them. But, she gives back to a number of rescues! You give a great gift and can feel good about it, knowing it supports dogs trying to find homes.

Dog people love to show off their dogs. This fun digital image was done for me by Reef Musallam, who adopted Roxy. He also did the image for our current shirt fundraiser! I've used this image to make stickers and a phone case for myself. Once you have the image the sky is the limit for products you can make. Check out the pin he made of Roxy on his website! I've already ordered myself two! reefmusallam.storenvy.com/

To contact Reef regarding digital artwork, please email him. reefmusallam@gmail.com Prices are based on artwork requested, but I will say Reef is very reasonable and easy to work with!

If you have gotten snail mail from me, you have seen my custom stamp. Many of you have commented on how much you love it. Which is why it's included here. It would have made a great, unique gift for me, had I not bought it for myself.

Another gift I bought myself, BigWalky Scarf. Fabulous gift for a dog walker as well. It's warm, has a space for poop bags, lined pocket for treats, and zipper pouch for money and credit cards. I really enjoy it, but be aware if you have heavy items like a phone, it will pull downwards and tighten around your neck.

These amazing little totems were done by Ashley Smith at The Wildersmith. I gave them as a gift to two dear friends and adopters, but would love to get one (or six) of them myself. Ashley is a one woman show, so in order to get in time for Christmas you would need to purchase an Etsy gift card and get into Ashley's cue for custom orders.

There it is, my list. Other than dressing Dixon up as Eminem, I haven't found a way to combine those two loves. But if anyone has the special edition Eminem Lego mini figures, that soldout almost instantly....hit me up.
