Pet Gifts - New Electronic Interactive Toys from Petlinks

Even in a Challenging 2010 Holiday Season, New Niche of Pet Toys by Petlinks Takes Off - Whirling, Twirling, Zipping, Zooming, Flashing, Fluttering Feline Toys Keep Both Pets and Retailers on their Toes as ‘Electronics’ Prove to be the Gift of Choice

Despite a challenging economy in 2010, pet owners are defying all odds this holiday season and generating a wave of excitement around a relatively new category of pet gifts -- electronic interactive toys such as those by Petlinks.

The trend in gifts for pets has been building throughout 2010. An American Express poll this year revealed that even in a down economy, holiday shoppers are more likely to scrimp on gifts to friends and family than let their pet’s stockings go empty. Some will secretly admit to spending more for their pet’s gift than they will their relatives.

“While this trend isn’t good news for in-laws throughout the country,” said Shannon McWilliams, Vice President of Product Development for Worldwise, Inc., “this is exceptionally good news for the 90 million or so cats in the US.”

According to Worldwise, manufacturer of Petlinks, a leading brand of cat toys, scratchers, treats and accessories available exclusively through pet specialty retailers such as PetSmart and Petco, there’s a noticeable new buzz this year around electronic gift options for cats.

The 12 Best Left-Handed Gifts:

Lefties are Great People....to give presents to. Everyday tools and utensils make very thoughtful gifts when they are configured for left-handed use. A handsome pair of left-handed scissors or an elegant pen designed for lefties, make a more personal and meaningful gift than the same item does for a right-hander, because righties do not have difficulty using most of the pens and scissors in the world.

Lefties have very specific functional problems with the right-handed world they inhabit. Scissors don't work well, especially for cutting complex shapes. Pens and pencils smear, and the writer can't see what is being written because their left hand. Covers it up.
