Dog Lover Raffle Offers Great Prizes from MANKINDdog™

by Carrie Boyko, CEB

Times are tough for consumers and businesses alike. We recognize this. That's why we're trying to run an event that helps out all of our favorites: rescues, the Humane Society, our Facebook fans, our All Things Dog Blog™ readers, dog lovers and even our partner, MANKINDdog™. They've been wonderful to offer these two great prize packages. But to win one, you'll have to enter.

If you'd like to help out your own wallet, while aiding in donations to pet charities, and getting a chance (odds are high!) at the big prize pictured above, read on. All you have to do to get into the raffle is:

Place a $40 minimum order from MANKINDdog™ no later than November 19, 2010. Maybe you can start your holiday shopping early?
Send me an email letting me know you ordered from them. I'm at [email protected]. I'll personally make sure your name is in the raffle bucket.

More good news: You'll receive FREE shipping of your order and save time and gasoline, while avoiding the crowds at the mall. PLUS, there's a free gift for your order that includes a super cool coffee mug from MANKINDdog™ and their signature bandana--for you or Fido to enjoy. It's no-brainer and a WIN-WIN for both you and the rescue groups that we will donate to.

Did I peak your interest? Let's tour their site. First, you'll go to www.MANKINDdog.com and be greeted by Phil and Gotham. Go ahead and drool over the guy and the dog. I do.

Now choose a tab with a category to shop in. Here's a few highlights, starting with the perfect hat for your dog loving guy friends:

What dog loving guy doesn't need a hat for sunny walks, dog park visits and Frisbee games? The perfect gift!

These beautiful metal vases are offered with lighted flowers in a variety of colors to suit your decor. Is there a lady on your gift list that would enjoy flowers she doesn't have to water? They're stunningly perfect!

These ostrich-backed collars are definitely high-end, but it's always fun to drool. Pretend you're shopping at Tiffany's for your dog and at least do some window shopping for fun!

I know. I know. These are spectacular bowls, and perfect for that guy on your list who enjoys doling out the chow. Consider your Mastiff or Great Dane friends and think about surprising them with an unexpected holiday sign of friendship and love. Don't forget the Chihuahua lovers either!

These Butterfly Forever Candles are magnificently beautiful. MANKINDdog™ offers a number of variations of these, including a seashell version that is perfect for your beach-loving friends. Be sure to check them out under the Candles tab.

This ladies tote is ample in size, made of durable, heavy-duty canvas-like material, and zips shut for a secure carryall. I ought to know; I have one!

If you're looking for something for a teen or someone with wanderlust on your list, check out their backpack and travel duffel under the Duffel Bag tab.

For a very special gift, this spa collection includes everything needed for a day of pampering. From candles, soap, body wash, lotion, and much more, she'll enjoy luxuriating in this goodie bag, for sure.

Got a big cook on your shopping list this season? Check out the Pomegranate or Peach infused Balsamic Vinegar, sure to please the most discriminating of palates.

Can you guess which book I'd most like to read? Nice choices for all you dog lovers out there!

Looking for something a little less tough on the wallet? The Fun and Fresh tab has your ticket, like this adorable, disposable camera made just for the dog lover in you. Fun and Fresh includes an assortment of smaller gifts that are perfect for co-workers, dog park buddies, kids and even the stocking on the mantle. You know the one I mean. ;)

I hope I've given you enough of a peek to get you shopping. The clock is ticking. You have till 11:59 on Friday, November 19th to place your qualifying order for the Dog Lovers' Raffle. We'll announce the winners on Saturday, November 20th. Good luck, and don't forget to let me know when you place an order. Happy tails!
