It’s that time of year…

 

Everyone is making a list & checking it twice.

 

Have you been naughty or nice?

 

 

If you’ve been good, maybe Santa will slip a pair of these stylish Scottie Dog slippers in your stocking…

 

How cool of a Yule would you have wearing these Puppies?

Tell Santa to head over to Gump’s for the needlepoint slip-ons sporting a classic Scottie Dog silhouette. Fully lined in leather, the comfy slip-ons can be worn inside or out.

 

After retrieving the newspaper in your new slippers, wipe your paws on this festive Doggie door mat:

Pillows are a quick way to dress up any room in the house.

 

How cute is this Holiday Scottie?   

 

The needlepoint design is perfect when paired up with plaids, but the Dog is a stand out on its own any time of year.

Here’s a designer secret: Decorating entails all of the senses, including the sense of smell.

 

There’s nothing worse than a home with an Eau de Dog scent, especially at the holidays!

 

Jeffery Banks has created scented Plaid Tidings Gift Sets, each with smart tartan packaging & a Scottie Dog label.

Licorice: like it, or not so much.

 

There’s no middle ground.

 

The exception?  Scottie Dog Licorice. It’s too cute not to like!

What would the Holiday’s be without sugar plums dancing in our heads?

 

Okay, maybe not sugar plums, but how about this beautiful, bespoke English Dog Bed form Plush Pet Beds…

 

Yes, please!
