1. Stylish Pooper Scooper. Every dog owner should have one of these; there is a wide variety available on the market now. Make sure you choose one with the following features:
• Lightweight with a clip for your belt, the dogs lead or a shoulder strap. • Smell masking feature, you will be able to walk the dog without any smells following you!• Good seals to avoid any leakages and fully washable.
2.Dog Pampering Kit. Every dog enjoys a brush occasionally. Why not put together a pamper kit. Remember to include the following:
• Shampoo and conditioner – make sure you choose a delicious smelling one.• Dog Towels – invest in one that fits onto the dog, this is a great way to stop them shaking and covering everyone in water after a bath.• Brushes and combs – if the pampered pooch is not so keen to be groomed make sure you choose a soft brush. Some combs are made of rubber and claim to have a massaging effect which is enjoyed by even the most discerning dogs.
3.Glamorous Dogs. Look online for a fancy dog collar and lead. All colours and styles are catered for and you can personalize the gift with a fun name tag.
4.Puppies. So cute but they can chew everything in sight. Put a pet gift basket together and include some chewing toys and an anti-chew spray. Make sure the spray is non-toxic. The unpleasant taste should stop teething puppies and cats chewing your shoes and furniture.
5.Pet Lock. Believe it or not there has been a substantial increase in dogs being stolen when tied up outside. Choose a locking collar and lead and avoid those opportunist thieves running off with your dog.
6.Personalized clothing. Get a matching outfit for dog and owner. There is a huge variety available, shop online and order early to avoid disappointment.
7.Dog Back Pack. Ideal for helping the highly energetic nervous dog get a full work out on their walk. It is recommended to start them slowly and check for fatigue until they are used to carrying the extra load.
We hope our top tips will help you make an easy choice for your dog loving friend, or simply treat your own dog to one of them. They are our best friend after all!

July 29th, 2010Unsecured Loan Types From a Jewelry Store
July 29th, 2010Everybody loves a bargain — even when it comes to jewelry. Very often we don’t want to lose out on quality just to save a few dollars. Unless you have been saving money for a long time, financing is a very reasonable means to turn to when you are making a big jewelry purchase. Today, many jewelry stores offer financing and unsecured loans on site, and many banks also are currently offering lines of credit specifically geared towards diamond purchases. Here you will find out what kinds of unsecured loans you should be looking out for in the jewelry business.
The first kind of unsecured loan is a revolving account and works very similarly to a credit card. You will probably get a card that has the store logo and information on it with your account number. You will be able to make minimum monthly payments against the balance of the cost of the purchase over a specified time period. Generally this is around 36 months or 3 years. The loan provider might need you to make a minimum down payment on the jewelry and you can expect this to be around 10$ of the total cost of the purchase. Put as much down as you can upfront, this will decrease your overall balance from the get go. Here your monthly payments will depend of course on the balance you owe, and how much you put down. Good qualifiers for this kind of loan would be good credit history and limited cash flow. If you think your history may prevent you, getting a co-signer might be a good idea.
Another kind of unsecured credit from a jewelry store is known as a 90 day account. In this option, you pay your balance in full through three equally monthly payments without any interest. You may have to pay a larger initial amount, around 20-30% for your first purchase in store. If you establish a good credit history with the store, you may be able to reduce the down payment for future purchases.
Another kind of unsecured loan occurs when a jewelry store partners with a bank to finance your jewelry. Probably, this will be the best alternative for you, if your credit history can support it. With this type of unsecured loan, you are going to be getting bank rates and bank policies, instead of retail interest rates which are always much higher. This type of loan will offer a more competitive rate, probably no money down or annual fee, and no-prepayment penalties. Further, reusing this line of credit is possible as you pay it down and you will probably have longer terms, up to as long as 5 years.
