Misty's Holiday Gift Guide - Volume 3

This is the 3rd and final installment of Misty's Holiday Gift Guide!  It's going to be short and simple, but there's nothing simple about the shops I'm featuring.  Today is all about gifts for your furbaby!  

Jennie B. Goode Collars

Miss Jennie and Miss Sophia are the absolute epitome of cuteness!  In totally different ways, of course, one being human and the other being fur covered.  But they make a fantastic team:  Jennie sewing up stylish collars, harnesses, leashes and more for your pup or kitty and Sophia modeling them (she is such a diva!)  **And she's offering free shipping for Black Friday!  Use code "BlackFriday11" when you check out!

Pumpkin Patch Plaid Dog Collar - $16.50

Christmas Sweets Holiday Dog Collar - $16.50

P3Puppies

Miss Liz from P3Puppies is the SHI...I mean BOMB!  I have such mad love for her, I can't even tell you!  And she's got what it takes to keep your furbaby warm this winter!  Don't be put off by the lack of sales in her shop...it's brand new!  But she knows what she's doing and has FANTASTIC products!  I think Miss Sophia even sports some P3Puppies wear...I know Auntie Dis' furbabies do!

Happy Holidays!!

Why do they call it Black Friday?

Is it due to the all the crowds?  Is it supposed to be depressing?  I guess I could google it, but I don't care that much.  What I care about is the savings!  I've taken advantage of some already, but all from the comfort of my home.  Ok, that's a lie.  I'm at work today, so how about from the comfort of my desk while I surf the net on company time?  I'm such a bad employee, but really, what do they expect when they make me work on the day after Thanksgiving? 

Woodland Elves Goats Milk Soap Bar, normally $5.50, marked down to $4.40

But what is better than not having to leave the comfort of your own home to get some freaking fantastic deals?!  Nothing, I tell you!  Which is why I decided to have a Black Friday sale in my Etsy shop.  Because I want to share the laziness!  I'm even upping the ante...you don't even have to enter a coupon code to get any deals in my shop...I've marked all the prices down for you!  A few clicks and you're done.  Click, click, click...boom!  Wicked smell-goods show up on your door step!  Well, not that quickly, I'm just one chick making everything for you, but you get the idea.

Frosted Cranberry Goats Milk Soap Cube, was $5.50, marked down to $4.40

So...save 20% on your entire purchase today through Sunday at 3am (I love choosing random times to end my sales).  Remember, no coupon codes, just click, click,  click...boom!  It's THAT easy :)

Vanilla Noir Perfume Oil, was $8.00, marked down to $6.40

Happy Holidays!!
