Dog Gifts

We know it’s not easy leaving your dog at home while you go away on vacation or a business trip. Sure, you can have a friend or family member check in regularly, but your dog is alone for the rest of the day, and dogs are of course very social creatures. The Shylo Country Club for Dogs created a place for dogs to have fun while you’re having fun on vacation, too!

Located in Aurora, Colorado, the same great state we’re proud to live in, Shylo Country Club For Dogs boasts impressive Facilities, with 12 different play yards, including two separate play areas with one just for puppies and one just for the senior dogs. They even have a swimming pool for dogs! Your dog will be spending much of his or her time playing outside, rather than cooped up inside in a kennel. They feature a great array of Dog Boarding Services, and we hope you’ll check them out! It’s so refreshing to see such a novel approach to dog boarding!

Now is the time of school spring breaks and many of us are traveling the country and some even the world looking for that special relaxing location that lets us get away from it all.  White sandy beaches in the Caribbean with temperatures in the upper 80’s are just what the doctor ordered after a long cold winter; while for others it’s that last trip to the Rockies to get in some final skiing of the season.  With BisketBaskets.com being located just outside of Denver Colorado, we know all about the latter!  We are always bathed in bright warm sunshine here but the snow seems to not want to let go in April either so among beautiful 70’s and 80’s we get that gentle reminder that it’s not summer yet with a fresh coating of white snow every now and then.  

Many of us hit the condos and hotels directly on the ocean or tucked away in the mountains while still others are fortunate to have family and friends in all the right locations!  Be sure you let them know just how much you appreciate their hospitality by sending them a very delicious thank you gift basket.  We send a lot of thank you gifts during the spring break season to thank people for sharing their home and putting up with them for the week’s break but we send even more to the family dog and cat that have shared their backyard or litter box!  So if you’re wondering what would be a great thank you for your hospitality gift; look no further as we have a vast assortment of thank you gifts that would be perfect for recipients of any age.  We offer sweet candy bouquets made with only the most awesome candy like Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups or M&M’s and even Skittles or how about a festive cookie bouquet or pet gift baskets along with the traditional gourmet food gift baskets that everyone just loves!  You can select from chocolate gifts, tea baskets, soup baskets, wine themed gift baskets and so much more.  Drop on by and take a look at what we can send to that great bunch of people you just shared their place with. 

We ship throughout the USA and Canada so there is no need to leave anyone out and our ground shipping delivers to about 75% of the USA in just 3 business days!  Say THANK YOU today and let us know your favorite spring travel destination!

Where is your favorite spring break location?

We’ve been posting recently on some of our favorite Colorado dog services – we’re all about our pets and of course our wonderful state of Colorado, so we wanted to take some time to highlight another Colorado pet facility we recently came across!

We had the great pleasure of coming across the Colorado Dog Blog recently, and we’re so glad we did! Now, we may be a bit biased since we’re also located in the wonderful state of Colorado, but we just love the interesting posts on the blog. The blog is full of fun dog facts (such as the tallest dog!), information on how Colorado is working to put an end to animal abuse, and light-hearted posts on dogs both in Colorado and the rest of the U.S.!

We hope you’ll head on over to the Colorado Dog Blog and read their great posts – you might even get the urge to visit our favorite state!

If you have a dog and live anywhere near Marysville, WA, you must take your loyal pooch over to Adventure Dog Ranch! Adventure Dog Ranch is technically a kennel for when you need to board your dog, but it’s so much more – it’s a cage-free alternative, dog daycare, and dog training facility. Your dog will be able to have fun playing in a total of 21,200 square feet, supervised by the professionals at Adventure Dog Ranch!

We hope you’ll browse around their site and check out their Board & Train Packages! Their new idea for an alternative to dog kennel cages is such an inspiring idea, and goes a long way to ensuring our pets have exceptional lives!

We had the pleasure of recently meeting Lisa from Gone to the Dogs, a dog blog with tons of personality and spirit! The blog is a great read for any dog owner out there, covering daily dog activities and even dock diving events! The blog specifically talks about Autism dog services and the various ways dogs work and train to become a service dog.

We hope you’ll check out Gone to the Dogs – the author of the blog is one lovely lady we’re glad we said hello to, and the posts are full of heart and inspiration!

Halloween is everywhere! Eerie Orange lights glowing from housetops and skeletons and coffins are strewn about on people lawns. It’s amazing how people have adopted this holiday and have made it their own. Down the street from us we actually have a neighbor who starts setting up his Halloween display just after Labor Day. There are coffins, skeletons, spiders, giant cobwebs and so much more lurking about his yard.

 As I sit here at my desk this morning I am reminiscing of years past and my days trick or treating. I’ll admit I did ring a doorbell or two in my day and screamed trick or treat! Where I grew up, flexibility under the Halloween costume really wasn’t an option. You see my sisters and I grew up in upstate New York and it wasn’t always about being cute or scary on Halloween, it was about being warm because almost every year our first snowfall started on no other date but Halloween night! Yeah, Mom dressed us up like the Michelin Man and out the door we rolled! At least 1 pair of long johns, stretchy knit pants, jeans and if we were experiencing a warm Halloween; no snow pants! Our best costumes usually consisted of being a scarecrow or a mummy because it offered us the best opportunity to be toasty warm and still be able to tell what we were! Being from the country, we always headed into town to do our begging for candy and it was always an enjoyable evening out and when we came home we all had toasty hot cocoa and marshmallows waiting for us.

At Bisket Baskets, we have really enjoyed this year’s Halloween season. We designed several new Halloween gifts and they have been selling like hotcakes! Looking at all the candy included and having gifts that include everyone’s favorite candy like Reese’s and M&M’s it’s no wonder. I’ve actually been thinking of staying home this Halloween and let my Granddaughter and her Mom just go out. I’d be willing to stay warm at home pass out the candy at our house and enjoy a Halloween Gift Basket just for me instead!

Now that all those candy filled pillow sacks are about to be arriving home filled with suckers, candy bars, apples and more, we want to be sure you all remember that chocolate is dangerous for dogs! So if you want to spoil Fido this Halloween, Bisket Baskets offers safe pet treats – check them out at our Halloween Pet Gift Baskets page. So please remember to sort your candy safely and stash the really good stuff with chocolate up high so Fido won’t get into it. If you haven’t read the “Five Ways to Keep Your Pet Safe on Halloween Day, by Paul Mann” it’s not too late. Check it out at the All Dog Blog.
