FROG & TOAD - EAST

Matte black cast iron dog statuettes make striking doorstops or bookshelf adornments from the Garden + Home store, while real life dogs will lap up Wag Butter in pumpkin spice and banana flax flavors from the Table + Provisions shop. Tiverton, GroundswellCafeGarden.com

Equally appealing for dogs and owners are silky Dog-Dana bandanas featuring a pastel-hued rendition of a Rhode Island map. Shop cat or dog cookie cutters and ice cube trays to make the holidays furrier, along with a selection of life-like plush toys in all the fluffiest breeds. Warren, GiftImagine.com

“Welcome! No need to knock, we know you’re here - The Dogs” is just one of the hilarious handmade-in-Rhode-Island signs available at Wickford Village’s beloved gift boutique. Another favorite: wine glasses etched with “It’s not drinking alone if the dog’s home.” Wickford, SerendipityRI.com
