This could be considered a downside, but the pendants are sold without a chain, so you’ll have to provide your own. Of course if you have a pretty vintage chain or a special ribbon that you’ve been wanting to put to good use, then these pretty little pendants are exactly what you need. Another cool thing about being able to make your domino’s chain custom; you can decide exactly how far down you want your pendant to hang. Did you have in mind a sassy choker, or something longer? You could even turn these into a dangly “charm” on a bracelet. Or for those of you, like myself, who are eternally “pet minded” these would make an incredibly sweet pet collar charm! Whatever you decide to use your domino pendant for, you better do it quick, because once a design is sold, it’s gone for good.

Custom is the keyword when it comes to WITW products. Every item is handmade based on your dog’s (or cat’s) measurements and you can choose from a large selection of fabrics on their website. (They also offer an option to use your own custom fabric- which I opted for- but you have to contact them directly to inquire about that.) You can also add a ruffle (as seen above), pockets, a car restraint, and matching leash. The harnesses are made very well: sturdy enough to withstand the strongest of dogs (under 24″ girth that is). I’m still new to dog products, but I looked at a couple local pet boutiques and was shocked at the prices. $50 for a collar or couple strips of ultra-suede being passed off as a safe harness? No thanks. Weenie in the Window’s prices are a steal, especially when each item is custom made to your specifications. It even came in a package adorned with Dachshund stamps and stickers, and was lovingly wrapped in tissue paper and a fabric ribbon They’re a small, popular, company so order in advance if you’re expecting a new pet or are shopping for a pet lover: you may end up on the waiting list if they’re especially busy.

Just one of the things I thought I’d never say, until I saw this “Animals All Around” bucket from Plum Party.

Pretty, vintage animal illustrations surround this sturdy metal bucket that has handles for easy carrying. Now for you sillies who don’t know what you’d do with a bucket this awesome, I’ll give you some ideas. You can use this “venti” sized bucket:

*As a baby (or puppy!) toy bin
*As a colorful alternative to presenting a baby shower gift
*As a baby laundry basket
*As a cute “bobbing for apples” bucket at a child’s birthday party
*As a Easter basket presentation
*As a punch bowl at a party
*For bathing your puppy or small dog outdoors
*As a table centerpeice filled with fruit
*For a “muddy boot” keeper, kept near your front door
*As the prettiest front porch flower planter ever

The uses are endless, as a bucket is one of the most versitile things ever. Be creative! Keep it well displayed, you’ll be sure to get endless compliments.

At first sight we were confused as to just how the special hand pockets worked, but then we found this handy little image below and loved the idea. Having a special towel just for your dog is always a good idea, and the super absorbent material and hand pockets make this towel ideal for pets. Whether your pooch just got out of the bath or is done playing outside in the rain, this towel will get her dry while you get another chance to hug and pamper your special little one.

The Roomba Discovery for Pets version comes with an advanced power system battery and charger to effectively clean multiple rooms in one charge and recharge your vacuuming robot in less than 3 hours. Standard features include dirt detect, a stair avoidance system, surface transitioning, and the efficient bag-less debris bin. This one also includes a standard remote that lets you control basic functions from across the room.

The best part about ordering from iRobot directly is that they offer a 30-day risk-free trial, 1 year warranty, and a 6 months no-interest payment plan as well. If you feel the Roomba vacuum isn’t dong a valuable service to you, you can return it back to them and they will give you all your money back. I say “all” because they will not only reimburse the purchase price of the robot, but the shipping costs it took to get to you and the shipping cost to get it back to them.

Along with the ever popular robot vacuum named Roomba they have the Scooba (scrubs your hard floors) and the Dirt Dog that can vacuum up screws, bolts, and heavy duty dirt off your shop floor.
