Pet Talk: Holiday Gift Guide!

Woof Pet Fans!!

The holidays are creeping up, and as you head to the mall to pick out presents for loved ones, don’t forget about your furry, four-legged friends! I’ll be sniffing around for some juicy bones to give to my sassy dog posse and to the poodle love of my life, Ms. La Fanny. But, what will you get for YOUR pet?

I mean, it’s not like you HAVE to buy something for us pets. Like, I’m excited about my girl Katani making something for me this year, and I’m sure (I hope!) Charlotte will slip me a few scraps from the holiday table, but some dogs (like yours truly) have sparkling cider wishes and caviar dreams!

So, just in time for the start of the holiday season, I’ve got this handy-dandy gift guide for the chicest pets on the block. Susan Bing, founder and owner of Trixie + Peanut pet boutique, lets us in on the hottest gifts this year for the trendiest pooch or the feistiest feline!


Marty: Woof! Tell us a little about Trixie + Peanut.


Trixie + Peanut: Trixie + Peanut is a boutique for pets. Our collection includes a wide array of upscale merchandise for dogs, cats, and pet lovers such as designer collars and leashes, stylish pet beds—the most fashionable pet apparel. We also carry unique toys and treats, chic pet carriers, fabulous feeding bowls, and grooming accessories, as well as heartwarming gifts for all animal lovers. Trixie + Peanut was started in 1999 as a catalog and has evolved into a worldwide brand with a flagship New York City boutique and e-commerce website.


M: What is trendy and in-style for pet gifts this holiday season?

T+P:
Every dog loves toys and treats! Holiday-themed toys and treats are always popular, but our designer-inspired toys (iBone, iPaw, Sniffany & Co. Blue Box, Chewy Vuitton Handbags, Furcedes Car, etc.) and celebrity-inspired toys (Pup Doggy, Sarah Jessica Barker, etc.) are proving to be this year’s best sellers.

For those who really want to spoil their pups, we have luxurious cashmere sweaters, car-shaped pet beds (Hollywoof Limo, anyone?) and even wigs for the four-legged fashionista who has everything!


M: Ha! Chewy Vuitton! Do you sell things for pet lovers—maybe something I can get my BSGs?

T+P: Products are also becoming more user-friendly and innovative. Our sling-style Joey Pet Pouch is one of our most popular carriers. Inspired by the baby slings that you often see celebrities toting their (human) babies around in (like Brad Pitt with Shiloh), this unique carrier has a hands-free design—making it easier than ever to take your pet everywhere with you.

Our E-Z Go Harnesses are our most convenient walking accessories and provide safety and comfort for pets. Last season, these were only available in basic solid colors but now they are available in fashionable stripes, camouflage, commando, and sailor styles.


M: What is trendy this year for girl dogs and boy dogs?

T+P: Anything pink for the girls and anything blue for the boys! And pets both female and male always look fantastic in bling! Our Rhinestone Letter Collars, which are available in an array of colors, can spell out a pet’s name in sparkling rhinestone letters, so these make great personalized gifts for fabulous four-leggers.


M: What can you recommend for an adorable holiday ensemble?


T+P: For little furry ones, our Santa Suit, Jolly Elf Suit, and Swiss Miss Dresses make the perfect holiday outfit. For bigger dogs, we offer our festive Holiday Jolly Rover Collars that feature trendy skulls. If you are looking for a more formal look, we always suggest throwing on a strand of pearls! Our Princess Gem Pearl necklace is a new favorite.


M: What about popular holiday dog treats? I’ll do almost anything for a treat!

T+P:
Our Christmas & Hanukkah Treat Pack sand Santa Paws Treats are great holiday-themed treats that will set tails wagging. There isn’t a dog we know that can resist our Carnivore Kisses!


M: Do any celebs with pampered pets shop at Trixie + Peanut -- and what do they buy?

T+P: Jamie Lynn Spears: Bling Bejeweled Collars & Leashes, Local Celebrity T-Shirt, Chewy Vuitton Purse Toys, Jimmy Chew & Bark Jacobs Shoe Toys; Jessica Simpson: Bree Bag, Razzle Dazzle Step-In Harness, T-Shirts & Tanks; Paris Hilton: Rhinestone Letter Collar, Princess Gem Necklace, Dresses, Doggie Sneakers; Ciara: Polka Dot Pup Tent, Polka Dot Puppy Bassinet, Devil Hoodie, Crystal Collars, Necklaces, Smiley Skull Tank, Not Listening T-Shirts, Angel T-Shirts, Toys, Treats.


Thanks, Susan, for sharing all those chic holiday gift ideas with us. Forget the juicy bone—La Fanny is going to make me her main dog after I get her that Chewy Vuitton Handbag! For more information and to view photos of Trixie + Peanut merchandise, log on to trixieandpeanut.com.



you tell us ...
What are you planning on giving your four-legged friend this holiday? A hug? A treat? A Princess Gem pearl necklace?

Woof,

Hi Marty!! I would give my dogs anything they wanted, but my mom doesn't always think like that!!! I buy toys for my pups (I have two) like squeakies, bones, rawhides, my little dog even likes catnip! What would you want as a gift, Marty? Bye!!

A little caviar in a crystal goblet, please.

Hey, y'all, be careful come New Year's and the fireworks, okay? Some dogs are scared of the loud noises, like mine. She thinks they're gunshots, so she freaks out and begs to come inside. Also, my cousin's dog got so scared that he ran out onto the highway! So, be careful, 'kay? Make sure your doggies are safely tucked away.

Good tip. Thanks!

Dear Marty,
I have a question from all of my sisters. we want to know if we can send you a gift. For christmas. Unless you are jewish. The we could send you something else. Or maybe you celebrate kwanzaa. Which do you celebrate, and CAN we send you something? Please reply before the holidays are over.

Moi? A gift? You and your sisters are too kind. But, alas, no presents are required. Between Charlotte and Santa Claus, I'll have more than enough! But, thank you anyway!

Woof,
