Give the gift of learning

Learning how to drive is like learning how to ride a bike – you’ll never forget it. The difference is when you learn how to drive, you’ve unofficially entered adulthood. This is why this is such a big deal for teens, high school graduates, college graduates, and those getting their first ever car. And we’re proud to help you be part of their lives with this life changing gift.

Give the gift of comfort & design

Dog owners don’t just own dogs, they consider themselves dog parents whether they care to admit to or not. They care for them, feed them, watch over them, play with them, love coming home to them. Dog moms and dads even make their homes liveable for their precious little (and not so little) ones. It isn’t easy to find brands that think of its owners as much as the pets but we did.

Bow House’s philosophy is simple. They love dogs as much as they love good design. Dog beds and crates do not need to be an eyesore and that is why Bow House decided to create a line of modern pet furniture that was designed for both the dogs and their humans. The people behind Bow House also know the lengths humans go to make their homes look and smell nice so they also made sure that their products come with washable covers. Here are some of their products:

(From left to right) The Dome Home is a crate for small and medium dogs made of flowing curves and comes with a round bed and washable cover. It is much more relaxing and airy than a regular crate. The Bow Basket is for small to large dogs, made of hand welded iron and comes with a durable round bed and washable cover. It is perfect for creating a space for when your dog is playing with a bone or toy and even for sleeping. The Muttress is built for mixing and matching, washing and wearing. It has the right support and comfort and promises fluffiness for a very long time. It also comes with washable covers perfect for small to large dogs. The Doga Mat is multi-functional for adventures in the park, car rides, and lounging by the beach. It is made of ballistic nylon and, get this: waterproof fabric!
