Who actually buys the holiday themed pet clothes?

Nov 20, 2012 3:07 PM

Not including the Halloween costumes for dogs (because no explanation is needed when one dresses up their shih tzu as an ewok.)

Every year for just about every holiday I see stores fill their shelves to the brim with Christmas, 4th of July, Easter, and other random holiday themed pet clothes. Then I watch as the clearance racks are overwhelmed with the same stuff a few weeks later. I rarely, if ever, see anyone buy these things. I think my cat would murder me in my sleep if I tried to dress her in a candy cane striped collar and reindeer antlers.

Do any of you guys test your luck and dress pets up for holidays?

Every time I think of pet clothes it leads me to this little woot video blog:

I have to out my family. Someone brought home doggy antlers a few years ago. Of course, the border collies weren't too happy about it.

I would buy holiday themed practical stuff like sweaters if they made them in my dog's size. I have often admired the snowflake and tartan fleece jackets that they make for little dogs and wished he could have something nice like that instead of the old sweatshirt I put on him when the weather turns cold. He has an array of holiday themed collars, all of which I have to have custom made as nice things do not come in XXXL. If my dog is going to wear collars and coats, why not have him wear something that looks nice and is in keeping with the holiday spirit?

@moondrake: LOL! Thanks! Don't quite know how we caught her winking, but it does look rather like a grimace of dislike, doesn't it?

I hadn't considered doing it before now. One of my dogs is built for snow, the other for summer and water. Well... one needs something to help keep him warm on extremely cold days - so I may be buying him a sweater, if I can find a XXL that's not ridiculously overpriced. If I also happen to find one that makes me giggle when he wears it? Right on.

@belyndag: that picture has me cracking up.

No idea...what a ridiculous concept. /whistles innocently

Yes he is mine, no I don't dress him up on a regular basis... I was decorating the house and he happened to be laying nearby so I plopped the tiny hat on his head and snapped a pic.

I've bought t-shirts for my grand-dog, and my son and his wife buy the little beastie outfits now and then. It's silly and we love it.

Perhaps people who want their pets to have issues just like them?

Luckily today I was able to talk my dil out of buying antlers for their dog.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
