If you’re looking for a special gift for the pet lover on your list, or perhaps would like the perfect toy for your furry friends, then head to Pawsitively Best Friends (21 Market Street) in Newburyport, MA.  It is one of our favorite stores to shop because the owner, Pamela, always has unique items including many locally made bakery treats, toys and gifts.  In fact all their treats and chews are made in the USA.  Pawsitively Best Friends also has locally made ornaments for 100+ breeds, even for hard to find dogs.  From festive bandanas, to delicious treats, to all sorts of toys that go squeak, Pawsitively Best Friends has the perfect gifts for dogs and cats.

You can also find unique gifts for your two legged friends as well, including breed specific monopoly games: Golden-Opoly, Pug-Opoly, Mutt-Opoly, just to name a few.  They even have Cat-Opoly!  For the introvert on your list there are wine and beer glasses with the reminder, “It’s not really drinking alone if the dog is home.”  In addition there is a great selection of t-shirts, books, and so much more.

Another benefit of finishing your Holiday shopping at Pawsitively Best Friends is it is located in the heart of Newburyport, and as luck would have it this Friday, December 19th is Ugly Holiday Sweater Night, part of the Greater Newburyport Chamber of Commerce’s Holiday Invitation Nights.  What better way to get into the Christmas spirit then by joining the Ugly Holiday Sweater Fashion Show & Contest at 7:00 PM in the Tannery’s Mill No. 1.  Prizes will be given in three categories: Ugly, Uglier, and Ugliest! Don’t miss all the fun!
