Orvis backseat protector
Like many pet parents, we like to take our pets with us when we go on road trips and adventures. Unfortunately, that also means our backseats end up accumulating a lot of pet hair. The Orvis Grip-Tight Microfiber Backseat Protector helps solve these problems while looking great and being easy to install. The quilted cover is water-resistant and has a non-slip backing to completely cover your backseat to protect it from scratches, hair, and dirt while keeping fido comfortable. The cover is available in two sizes and three colors to match the interior of your vehicle.
Price: $149.00 – $179.00

Anyone on your holiday gift list would love the Essential Crossbody Pouch because it is available in several colors, has a variety of pockets, and it’s great when you travel, but also for daily use.

It’s also not that expensive, and you can choose from 5 different colors too. So help someone ditch plastic grocery bags and switch to this nice-looking and functional reusable shopping bag.

Their Flex Aura Carry-on suitcase shown here is available in 7 colors including ones like the Dive Blue that make it very easy to see on the luggage carrousel if you decide to check it instead of carrying it above a flight.
