Inspired Finds: Double Bunnies.

In honor of a week devoted to all things love, we’ve gathered a few choice items inspired by a snuggly bundle of fur better known in our shop as Double Bunnies. Among our picks: soft gray slippers made of mohair; caramels named for the blink of a rabbit’s eye; a porcelain nightlight; and a paper puppet caught mid-stride. We’re tickled pink.

Inspired Finds: Reindeer.

Gift Guide. For Pets, of course!

Pets are members of the family, too, and this year, we thought we’d help animal lovers everywhere treat their furry, four-legged friends for the holidays. With Christmas just over a week away, we know we’re cutting it close (we’ve been busy making sure our holiday orders get out on time!), but, mercifully, pets won’t know the difference – and we’re confident they’ll love us just the same.

Below, choice gifts for dogs and cats – and, for good measure, one for the birds, as well. The Animal Print Shop by Sharon Montrose

1. Antler chew toy, $16. Made in Finland from naturally-shed reindeer antlers. 

2. Canvas bowl, $36. This collapsible water bowl comes with a brass clip so it fastens easily to leashes.

4. Sleeping bag, $160. A snug tartan bed lined in sheep’s wool, by Cloud 7.

INSPIRED FINDS: BEAR.

Bear may be preparing for a long winter’s sleep, it’s true. But us? We’re stocking up for a season full of sweet surprises. Among our most coveted items: a dress printed with playful polar bears; fluffy bedroom slippers (complete with claws!); and artisanal sandwich cookies made with peanut butter, oats, raw sugar, and, of course, honey. Come and get us, winter.

INSPIRED FINDS: HALLOWEEN EDITION.

For pint-sized animal lovers hoping to pay homage to their four-legged friends: a felt-and-fabric-paint mask and tail; a  wool monkey hat and plush banana; snow-white leggings and a fluffy, puffy cottontail. Designed to work with items your kids may already own (a basic white tee or brown leggings, for example), these costumes are perfect in a pinch for Halloween – or as dress-up chest staples all year round.
