Mother's Day Gifts for Pet Momsby Courtney Mroch | More from this Blogger 09 May 2007 04:25 PM I don't have children -human ones, that is-but I do have my dog and two cats and I do consider myself their mom. So does my husband. Most Mother's Days he spoils me with cards from both the pets and himself expressing their appreciation for all I do for them. It's a dearly treasured gesture. (A lot of times it's even accompanied with breakfast in bed or the question, "Where would you like me to take you for breakfast today?" Since I'm a big breakfast lover, this is one of the best gifts I can get!) The other day while Murph was sunbathing on the back lawn, I went catalog shopping. I quickly started noticing a trend: There were a lot of gifts geared toward "pet moms" or towards moms who are animal lovers. Granted, a lot of these catalogs were pet-oriented anyway, but some weren't. Apparently retailers are figuring out a new marketing niche. Below is a list of some of the more unique gift ideas I came across if you know a woman who would appreciate an animal-oriented gift for Mother's Day, as well as the companies where you can find them. • Personalized Embroidered Dog Bone T-Shirts: I've written about these before and have ordered one not only for myself and Wayne, but for Murph's best dog buddy parents. They are very cute, and every time I wear my "Murphy's Mom" t-shirt I get a comment to that effect! $15.98 (On sale now!) • Paw Birthstone Pendant and Earrings: Swarovski crystals in either your birthstone color or your pets grace this sterling silver jewelry. $29.95 each. • Antique Silver Personalized Bracelet and Necklace: Both the bracelet and necklace are sterling silver and gold beads that can be personalized with your dog's name. The bracelet comes with a paw print charm. $79.95 (bracelet) $110 (necklace). • Adopt an Animal: If you have a woman in your life whose passionate about a specific animal, these symbolic adoptions are perfect. There are 40 to choose from, including pandas, penguins, dolphins, gorillas. Not only will she get a keepsake plush version in a blue drawstring bag that says "Happy Mother's Day" on it, you'll both be helping animals. Starting at $50. • Sterling Kitty Peeking Over Ring: This sterling silver ring with the curious cat peeking over the band could tug on any cat mom's heartstrings. $19.98 PetSmart Charities Flower Club • Mother's Day Bouquets and Arrangements: Planning on sending flowers to a special lady in your life this Mother's Day? Why not buy from PetSmart's Flower Club? They have creative, colorful arrangements at competitive prices. Best of all, PetSmart Charities receives 10% to help homeless pets! Prices start at $29.99.
