The Bold Bow Tie
DOG BOWTIES AND HAIR BOWS FOR WOMEN
Bowties for dogs? You better believe it! What better way to start this holiday gift guide than with some fancified pup-wear from the local Indy designers at The Bold Bowtie.
The Bold Bow Tie is a company of three sisters who strive to provide quality suspenders, neckties & bow ties for all occasions, including: weddings, bow ties for dogs and cats, and hair bows for girls and women.

All-NATURAL TREATS AND SNUFFLE BALLS
My dog's stocking (Yes - Mickey gets a visit from Santa Paws every year) isn't complete without some delicious treats. If you're a client of Wander Pet Photography, then you already know how much we love Kora's Kitchen. So much in fact, that every WPP client receives a bag of Kora's Kitchen treats with their artwork delivery.
Kellin, the owner of Kora's Kitchen, started her business with the goal of providing drool-worthy treats that were also all-natural and healthy. Her family-run Indianapolis-based business puts a lot of love and careful attention into each bag of treats.
They also sell Snuffle Balls! Two things all dogs love are eating and sniffing (sometimes every blade of grass). The snuffle ball combines those loves into a challenging food puzzle that is bound to keep them engaged and keep you entertained!
Spoil your pets with hand-crafted goodness from Kora's Kitchen via their website or find them at local Indianapolis area markets and events.

Alex and Andy Pet Bandanas
PET BANDANAS + MORE
From a small business with a GIANT heart. Alex and Andy was started in honor of the owner's (Sophie Wyrick) Uncle Andy after he suffered a stroke. Their full story is an amazing one, and I highly recommend that you hop over to their ABOUT PAGE to read all about it.
Andy is highly involved with their small business and uses every purchased order as an opportunity to build upon his therapy. Learning to write left-handed, Andy’s hand-drawn images adorn their custom designed shirts and he handwrites thank you cards to each customer aiding their mission to support stroke survivors.
Yes - you read that correctly. Andy hand-writes thank you cards for the thousands of orders that comes through their doors. How amazing is that??
Alex and Andy offers a wide variety of beautiful and fun pet bandanas. Mickey's personal favorites are the slip-on bandanas that fit right onto his collar. No need to worry about them slipping off or getting bunched up!
As previously mentioned, Alex and Andy also offers hand-drawn shirts. My personal favorite? The "Life is better with dogs" shirt. (Truer words have never been spoken - right?)
​
Distributed with love from Indianapolis, these heart-filled accessories are the perfect addition to any pet's wardrobe. The bonus is that you'll feel pretty darn good while gifting it as well.
