Whenever someone asks me what I want for a birthday, holiday or other special occasion, I have a hard time thinking of any one thing — I will, however, come up with at least three items I’ve saved for my pride and joy, my two pups, at the drop of a hat. I just enjoy shopping for them more than I do myself, and it makes me so happy to see them happy, whether that’s in a cozy new sweater for walks or chewing on a new rope bone.
This isn’t unique to me, at all: It’s likely the pet owner or lover in your life feels the same, whether they have a dog, cat or some other animal in their household. So, if you’re stuck on what to give them, something special for — or inspired by — their pet will always be a hit.
Ahead, shop 36 thoughtful gifts every pet, pet owner and lover will appreciate.

How the NFT marketplace is already raising questions for fashion brands One of the most incentivizing aspects of NFTs for fashion brands is how with every secondary sale, the original creator receives royalties in perpetuity. Typically, anytime a physical item linked to an NFT (a code on a blockchain) is transferred to a new owner, the NFT itself would generate a 5% sale value and transfer it back to the original brand it was sold from. However, in order to attract more collectors with lower prices and fees, those in the NFT marketplace are leaving it up to buyers to decide if they want to pay the royalties, leaving many fashion brands to question whether it makes sense to dive into the NFT world at all. {Business of Fashion}
