New Markdowns on Animal Lover Gifts

Angel's Wish Auction

The annual Angel's Wish online auction starts tomorrow and will run the entire month of June. Angel's Wish is a wonderful animal welfare charity located near Madison; this all-volunteer nonprofit re-homes animals and works to raise awareness of animal welfare issues.

Their auction events help them raise much-needed funds to carry out their work. Angel's Wish has always had amazing online auctions with tons of prizes. This year's auction has, as of this count, 239 items available, all starting at about 1/3 of the items' retail values. Many of their items, of course, are geared towards people who love animals. But they also have lots of other types of items, including gift baskets, garden supplies, home decor items and gift certificates for restaurants.

When you're bidding, look for a few items donated by PJ Publications and Gifts, including an Espe cat handbag, Far Fetched chihuahua necklace and Laurel Burch bag, Sienna Sky beagle earrings and cat on moon earrings.

I hope you'll check out the auction. It's a great way to help animals in need while snatching up a potential bargain. :)

Memorial Day Thank You

Today is Memorial Day. Our thoughts are with all those who sacrificed so that we may all have what we have.

Gorilla Bag with an Important Message

We are thrilled to offer this new gorilla bag by Calico Dragon. Not only is it stylish, functional and well-made, but it carries an important message about our gorilla friends.

The front reads They may be a world away; and continued on the back is but need a world of support to survive.

The bag is made of sturdy cotton and the interior is fully lined. The interior features a zippered compartment and 3 open compartments.

The company who makes this bag is committed to animal welfare (as is PJ Publications and Gifts) and donates a portion of its profits to various animal charities.

This is an awesome bag for gorilla lovers, or anyone who is committed to animal welfare.

Bird Lover Signs

We now offer a selection of signs for bird lovers, including our bird sanctuary sign, as well as a variety of crossing signs. These include our flamingo crossing sign, penguin crossing sign, wild bird crossing sign, duck crossing sign and peacock crossing sign.

These signs are made of metal and contain holes to make it easy for you to hang.

These make great decor items - for the home, garden, office, or anywhere you would like to show the world you love birds.

Find them at PJ Publications and Gifts, priced affordably at $11.95 per sign.

We've Added New Wild Bryde Jewelry

We've just added two new lovely pieces by Wild Bryde: Our greyhound necklace and pair of sugar glider earrings.

Wild Bryde's jewelry is made of recycled brass and each piece is hammered by hand, giving it subtle light-reflecting facets. And their jewelry is made in the USA.

They have an extensive collection of wildlife jewelry, so if there is something you would like but don't see it, let us know. We are happy to place special orders for you.

Looking for a graduation gift that inspires? We have the perfect items for you. Our line of inspirational jewelry by Far Fetched is made of sterling silver, some with mixed metals including copper and brass. We have bracelets necklaces and pins, with thoughtful messages and images.

Some of the pieces we carry are inscribed with such slogans as, Be the change you wish to see in the world, You may say I'm a dreamer but I'm not the only one, Peace is the only battle worth waging, Well behaved women rarely make history, When you have faith everything is possible, and more.

Now Offering Romero Britto Accessories

We have a real treat for animal lovers. PJ Publications and Gifts is now offering Romero Britto's accessories. His designs are colorful, whimsical and vibrant, making his art highly sought after.

We've only listed 2 of his wallets so far - the Romero Britto Cat Wallet and the Butterfly Wallet. But more styles are on the way.

As with our other products, these wallets are not only stylish, but also cruelty free.

Help Wildlife Victims of Gulf Oil Spill

Here are additional organizations that are helping to save wildlife victimized by the oil spill destruction in the Gulf. These organizations are seeking volunteers and donations of money and equipment. Needs of individual organizations will vary.

• A group of organizations including The National Audubon Society, National Wildlife Federation, the Barataria-Terrebonne National Estuary Program and the Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana are pulling their resources together.

• Save our Seabirds, a Florida-based organization, which I mentioned in a previous blog.

• Tri-State Bird Rescue and Research, based in Delaware.

• Humane Society of Louisiana

If you are aware of any other efforts underway, please let me know and I will post in on my blog.

Gulf Oil Spill: Who Will Help Wildlife?

The Gulf oil spill is being called one of the worst environmental disasters of our time. Defenders of Wildlife has put out a statement on the current crisis. I'm heartbroken, thinking of all those innocent birds, turtles, and other creatures who will undoubtedly suffer.

I'm trying to find out who is currently involved in wildlife rescue. One such organization is Save Our Seabirds. Their Facebook page is full of comments from people who are helping with the rescue efforts. For those who want to help but are unable to volunteer, SOS could also use supplies and accepts donations.

A big thank you to these amazing people!
