Our loving and loyal companions should have a little visit from Santa Claus this festive season as well as. Whether it’s a sparkly new collar, or a tweed lead to please your pup, luxuryhound.com is the place to go! 

Luxuryhound is a Scottish boutique where you can find one-of-a-kind dog collars and luxurious leads– the ultimate treat to pamper your pooch. With original inspiration drawn from a miniature long haired dachshund named Sophie, Mirren Fischer, owner and designer at Luxuryhound believes dogs deserve better than “scratchy dog collars, tight leads and ill-fitting coats.”

Mirren works with a variety of quality artisans and craftsmen, top-notch suppliers and patient dog models to get her leather, prints and intricate stitching just right. Dogs of all shapes and sizes, whether you’re dressing a great dane or a pocket sized pooch, can now wear gear that’s truly fitting and, most importantly, can match your seasonal fashion must-haves. 

Luxuryhound.com strives to help dogs in need or who don’t have owners. 5% of the profits from every product sale will go straight to dog charities.

I have come across the most extraordinary Leather Dog Collars I have seen, something that you would be very proud for your loyal companion to wear.  Holly&Lil have created beautiful bespoke collars which are designer originals and all wonderfully handmade.  They are of incredible quality and will last you pet for years!

image

Holly&Lil not only design these magnificent collars for dogs, but also do so for cats.  Stunning is a word that I would not often use for a pet collar, but it the first word that came to me when I first seen one of these for myself!  Your pet will be sure to be the envy of many wearing a Holly&Lil collar.

I especially love Holly&Lil’s new collar ‘The Rainbow.  This new collar from was inspired by The Wizard of Oz and was launched at Crufts 2010.  It was worn by Toto on the BBC’s Search for Dorothy – helping make it a must have for your Dog.  ‘The Rainbow’ really is a work of art, especially as it can come with a matching lead. The Rainbow collar really is a wonderful hand stitched Calf leather collar.  It is available as a Wide only; the wide collars are narrow under the chin for the dogs comfort then wide at the back for our viewing pleasure.  The Rainbow will cost you £105, but when you think of the quality and durability of it, it is definitely worth it!  Also, it is good to show you’re Dog how special he/she is.

Holly&Lil also offer fantastic Dog Collar & Lead Sets which come in wonderful coloured calf leathers, cowskins, tweeds, tartans & brocades. They design all dog and cat collars in a dazzling array of leathers; from red and black to turquoise, orange, white, sugar pink, even silver and gold. 

I love them, and I am sure you will too!

To buy your collar, you can shop online at http://www.hollyandlil.com or at their “pet” Shop in London were all dogs are welcome.

Cute and very fitting for this Valentine’s Day this little HEXBUG Love Bug:-

image

Yes, it looks like a creepy crawly, which in most cases sends people a bit scatty, but this is a bug with a difference.  These micro sized robotic creatures can feel their way around, sense objects in their path and avoid them using their extra special sensor feelers. You can even control where it scurries and make it change direction with the clap of a hand – very clever indeed!

Your loved one will be sure to love their new Love Bug, as it is something different to give than your usual flowers or chocolate.  It isn’t that big, fitting easily into the palm of your hand, and really does work a treat.  I have two young boys in my house, and they think it’s wonderful – funny to watch with an amazing ability to change direction.  But I warn you, if you have any pets around it is best advised not to let your little critter on the loose!

The HEXBUG Love Bug retails for £10.99 and is available at Hamleys, Next, Selfridges, Toys R Us, Red5 stores and Red5 in House of Fraser, Waterstones and HMV, other specialty retailers or at http://www.hexbug.com.
