2012 Holiday Gift Guide

Last year I had fun putting together my holiday gift guide for animal lovers, and I chose items from nonprofit organizations because part of those proceeds help even more animals. This year I'm going a different route and supporting small, home-grown businesses by choosing items from my favorite stores on Etsy and displaying one of my favorite items from each store. (You can click on the shop name to view their other animal-related items.) I'm also going to split the categories into types of items as opposed to who they're meant for: jewelry, kids, clothing, artwork, home decor, stationary, wedding and pet memorial.

I hope you enjoy--let me know what your favorites are in the comment section below!
