Holiday Gift Ideas for Dog Lovers

In a previous post, I wrote about some fun gift ideas for your feline family members, specially cats. You can read that post here – Don’t Forget Your Four-Legged Friend This Holiday Season. I have some great cat gift ideas, as well as a few gifts for dogs.

We used to have a dog. We miss him terribly. He was spoiled just as much as our cats are, maybe even a little more.

I miss owning a dog. Just because we currently don’t own one, that doesn’t mean that we still don’t love dogs. One day we’ll adopt another dog, but the time has to be right, and it has to be a good fit for our home. Living in a top floor condo (a lot of stairs!) and no yard is not the best scenario for a dog. Our next door neighbors have a ginormous Rottweiler, and I don’t know what they are going to do when he gets older, and tacking the stairs are not that easy. Our dog, Espn, was small. We could carry him up and down the stairs if necessary. It’s not that easy to do when you own a 100+ pound Rottie.

If you are looking for some unique gift ideas for the dog lover in your life (or even yourself), you should check out the retail site for Rover.com.

The brand was kind enough to send me some non-dog related items to check out. I was sent to review two of their candles in holiday scents – “Mountain Walks” and “Cinnamon Sticks.”

I LOVE candles, so I was happy to review them.

The candles from Store.Rover.com came wrapped in cellophane with a green bow. They are already wrapped and ready to be given as a gift.

“Mountain Walks” has an evergreen scent, and “Cinnamon Stickers,” of course smells like cinnamon.

• The hand-poured soy blended wax candles create a cozy atmosphere whenever it’s lit.
• The 9 ounce jars comes complete with screw-on lid, which makes them great for gifting.
• With approximately 50 hours of burn time, you can enjoy these unique candles for days to come.
• Each candle is made in the USA.

I burn candles on our kitchen counter. With six cats, that last thing I want to happen is have one of them knock a candle off a shelf. Thankfully our cats know better than to go on the kitchen counter, so burning candles is safe there.

Sadly, many times when I burn candles I can barely smell them in the living room. The living room, dining room, hallway and kitchen are all open to one another. I want my home to fill up with a lovely scent. Most times I can only smell candles in the kitchen only, or when I’m literally right on top of the candles.

I’ve used expensive, brand name candles, and still not smell a thing in the living room.

I was pleasantly surprised to SMELL the “Mountain Walks” candle in our living room. YEAH! FINALLY! A candle I can actually smell!

I like the smell. It’s a light scent. It’s not overpowering, which is great because my husband suffers from migraines and sometimes strong scents trigger a migraine. I’ve been able to burn this candle with no problems whatsoever.

I can smell the “Cinnamon Sticks” candle as well, but it’s limited more so to the kitchen, dining room and hallway (it doesn’t reach into the living room). Although I miss that candle’s scent would reach into the living room, I am still happy that I can smell it in other rooms and not just the kitchen.

Rover’s retail store has other candle scents available, including non-holiday scents.

If you are still shopping for gifts for those special people in your life, why not check out Store.Rover.com.

Rover.com is also on social media. You can find those links on the bottom of the website.
