WOOF Starter Pack - Pupsicle Dog Enrichment Toy
I like that this is refillable and that the company has actually mad the molds for the toy available to make refilling it super easy
Dog Agility Course Backyard Set
I'd like to do agility with Pica once she's old enough, and being able to practice at home will be crucial for that. It doesn't have to be this set, but something similar would be nice. My only real requirement is that nothing has to be staked down since
Pot Strainer
With how often I make pasta, a strainer that you put on the side of a pot like this one would be super useful. Right now I just use the pot lid which isn't the most elegant of solutions.
Erik Larson Books
"The Devil in the White City" is one of my favorite history books (I already own a copy!) and Erik Larson has a number of others that also look fascinating. These two plus "In the Garden of Beasts" are the ones that I think look most interesting
The American Duchess Guide to 18th Century Beauty
This looks absolutely fascinating!
Hard Dog Toys
Please no soft toys-she intentionally tears them apart, which I wouldn't mind, but then she eats the stuffing which could potentially be dangerous.
Paring Knife
I literally only have two and one is getting kinda dull (maybe I also need a knife sharpener?) so a third would be super nice
Meat Thermometer
Long-sleeved, warm shirts
Something like Cuddleduds that I can layer really well to keep warm while walking the dog/hiking in the midwest in January
Bathroom Scale
I don't own one, and it would be nice to be able to track my weight (and Pica's weight)
Candles!
Anything that smells nice :)
Brown Cardigan
I have a black cardigan and a blue cardigan, but don't have a brown one to wear as a layer when the office is cold and black/blue doesn't match my outfit
$$$$
Is straight up money ever unappreciated?
