If you have ever traveled with your pet in the family car you know that it can be a daunting experience. While many dogs are happy to stay put calmly in the back seat, others bounce around wrecking havoc on both the passengers and designated driver. Car rides can become a nightmare!
The Laurel Canyon Animal Company and Dr. Kim Ogden, a nationally known Intuitive Animal Communicator, worked together to create music dogs love to listen to! “Songs to Make Dogs Happy!” is the first researched musical CD, based upon 200 canine participants’ responses to what THEY would like to hear in songs! Perfect for traveling with your four legged friend!

Owning a dog in the Northern States or up in snowy Canada can be a challenge in the cold winter months. Coming in from a leisurely winter walk can lead to a wrestling match as you try to remove the accumulated snow and ice from your pet’s undercoat and paws.
Paw Pro is non-toxic, all natural and designed to be used to repel this ice, salt and snow buildup. It also prevents snowballs from accumulating on your pet’s underbelly. Simply spray it on your dog’s paws and between the pads on the feet, paws and fur before venturing out on the winter jaunt!
It is so safe, that your pet can lick his paws right after an application and Paw Pro washes off easily with soap and water.

I know, Christmas was a month ago but I really miss the fragrant smell of our Christmas tree. There’s just something about those pine needles….
If you are like me, get your daily fix with these Balsam Fir incense logs. Since 1931, this all-natural incense will give off the same relaxing aroma of the warm, woodsy scent of the forest.
It sure beats keeping that Christmas tree up all year…

Ready, set, throw! Who doesn’t love a good snowball fight? Now you can be the King (or Queen) of the hill with the SnoFling! This innovative snow thrower allows you to make and pitch those snowballs further without even getting your mitts wet.
Originally invented in the ‘70s, on the Johnny Carson Show, the SnoFling sold over 5,500,000 units in three winter seasons. It now has a tether so it can be hung from the wrist and used while snowboarding, skiing and snowmobiling as well as a built-in horn for signaling and for sporting events.
And let’s face it… anything that helps you get through the cold winter months and makes you laugh and play is worth its weight in snow!

If you are looking for a beautiful eco-friendly gift for a newborn, these fabulous Poetry Baby Blankets should top the list! Each item is hand assembled in the USA by the Mother Corp., a group of moms dedicated to their families and their craft, using all organic, natural and recycled materials.
Remember… one yard of organically grown fabric saves about 1/2 lb. of pesticides from polluting the earth. That alone makes these blankets a terrific gift choice. But ultimately, it is the softness of the velour terry and the inspirational quotes that make this a gift to treasure for years to come!

If you have ever walked an airport with your carry on suitcase trailing behind you, you know that you arm feels 6 inches longer by the time you get to your gate. Most luggage handles are poorly designed as you bend and twist in a most un-natural fashion!
Put an end to the arm and neck pain with the Travel Tow. This ergonomic rotating handle adapter provides an extremely comfortable way to pull or push your existing wheeled carry-on baggage because it actually rotates a full 360°. You can then position your hand naturally at your side. Ingenious!

Skiing is great family fun and exercise but dragging everyone’s skis and poles to and from the hill can be a challenge. Finally, someone has invented a very simple, yet very effective carrying system to solve this common problem. Hands Free and Ski actually allows skiers of all ages to carry their equipment – even the kids. Love that!
Essentially a patented system of strong durable nylon loops, Hands Free and Ski easily adjusts to all sizes of skis and poles. Versatile, you can carry your equipment in three different positions: in your hand or in one of two shoulder positions.
As an added bonus, you’ll no longer look like the family’s pack mule struggling to balance all those wayward skis and poles when you hit the slopes this year. And that’s worth a whole lot more than the $14.95 retail price tag!

Stand out on the slopes this season with these CrazeeHead decorative helmet covers! Face it; commercial stickers and decals on plain helmets are old news. Plus Grandma’s knitted pom-pom hat just doesn’t cut it when we talk about head injuries and slope safety.
You can put ‘em on and take ‘em off in a snap, so you can change your look as often as you’d like.
After all, some days you feel like a tiger and other days a panda!
