30 Days of Shopping: Furry Tails

November 2, 2015 by Catherine

30 Days of Shopping in Decatur this November: Jump-start your holiday spirit – and your holiday shopping – with local daily tips in November on The Decatur Minute. 

fury tails_web

Have you skipped out on walking Fido for a few days to binge watch Game of Thrones? Or did you neglect Bella’s litter box because you were busy Pinteresting in the evenings after work? Then it’s time to make it up to your pets this holiday season by purchasing some goodies at Furry Tails. Stock up on Wee Huggles toys, all-natural grooming wipes, and organic cat treats. And if you really love your pet, make the switch to one of the many low-ingredient food options the shop carries. If you’re overwhelmed by the options, just ask one of the friendly folks behind the counter (it might be Anna, the shop’s owner) what they would recommend. Pet neglect guilt = gone.

 

Tip: Furry Tails will have a dog trainer in store every Terrific Thursday from 6 to 7 p.m.

The Apple Watch is so Summer 2015. What’s in for Winter 2015? A real watch. We’re talking analogue. And what better place to purchase a watch than Worthmore Jewelers? There are plenty of watches to chose from in the store, but did you know that Worthmore was one of the only sellers of Shinola watches in the state of Georgia? Shinola watches  are 100% made in America. So when you purchase a Shinola watch at Worthmore, you get double the “shop local” brownie points. Go you!

Tip: Worthmore is offering free jewelry cleaning on Terrific Thursdays.

Extra tip: The shop’s popular Antiques Jewelry Roadshow is coming back the first weekend of December this year so mark your calendars.
