Kardashian-Jenner Gift Wrapping Battle: This is how the family will hand their presents on Christmas Day1. A dog paw scrubber for all-in-one paw cleaning that won't bother your pooch and certainly won't bother you now that your floors will be free of muddy paw prints. Promising review: "I wanted something that would clean my baby’s paws after our walks because I didn’t want germs or dirt coming into the house. It smells great, it works well, and I can see that the rubber part doesn’t bother my doggy! It’s super easy to use, and I use it to keep her paws clean and my house clean! 10/10, especially for the price point!" — Thia Get it from Amazon for $7.99 . 2. Or a portable paw cleaner to keep your floors free of muddy footprints. Inside the container are soft bristles that lift dirt and grime from the pads of your pup's feet — all you need to do is add water. Promising review: "This product is great. My puppy is a digger and we have red clay type dirt. It gets her paws clean fast and easily. So much better than having to get a bath every time she digs." — Mandi Bultman Get it from Amazon for $14.40+ (available in three sizes and eight colors). 3. A litter box scoop holder to *gasp* hold...the...scoop... OK, but seriously. You don't want it on the floor because that's gonna spread poop particles. (Ew!) You could hang it on the wall but...well...it's a huge eyesore. Just store it in this instead. (It fits almost any litter scoop design.) It'll keep the litter dust from your floor without absolutely ruining your house's vibe. Promising review: "This works really well as a cat litter scoop holder. It has some weight to it so it doesn't tip over. Silicone liner comes out so it can be washed easily. This meets my expectations and I'm glad I purchased it." — MrsJenH Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in three colors). 4. A professional-level grooming kit if you're tired of the stress of a trip to the groomer. With this at-home kit, you can accomplish any grooming task you need without causing you or your pet any unnecessary anxiety. But the best part is the built-in vacuum and collecting container, which means that as you brush them, loose hairs are sucked up right away, so you don't have to brush and then vacuum. It comes with a grooming brush, a de-shedding tool, a trimming tool, a nozzle head, and a cleaning brush. Promising review: "Not a paid review! I love it, and if I could give it more stars, I would . It arrived today, and I already used it on one of my dogs. The other ones are not sure about it yet. It’s really dummy proof; you can’t mess nothing up. I mean, it’s perfect. You have everything you need to make your fur baby beautiful. It has every attachment you can think of for grooming and for yourself as well. So, I feel like if you have a pet, this is a must-have." — Emma Get it from Amazon for $129.99 . 5. A leakproof dog water bottle so your pup can easily grab a drink in between zoomies sessions at the dog park. Simply the button at the top to fill the mini bowl attachment with water, then release it to stop so they can lap it up! The water bottle also includes a sling rope and carabiner for clipping onto a bag or belt loop. Check out a TikTok of the water bottle in action. Promising review: "I love this item. It's especially nice when I take my dog to the dog park ...for some reason, he doesn’t like drinking out of the communal dog bowl. The water flows into the cup area and back into the reservoir if the dog doesn’t drink it all...with a button to lock in the water. Perfect product." — J. Chevalier Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in two sizes and four colors). 6. A stimulating snuffle activity mat because it has so many benefits: 1) It can help keep their smell skills sharp, 2) It can engage their natural foraging instincts, which stimulates their brain and can help prevent boredom, 3) It can help dogs burn some energy, and 4) It can help slow fast eaters. Promising review: "My dogs love it. Keeps them occupied and searching for all the morsels. After they are done, it cinches up and stores easily." — Kdk Schwien Get it from Amazon for $14.99 . 7. A pill pocket treat for cats who can magically sniff out medicine no matter how you try and hide it. It's a win-win here — you win because you no longer have to force a pill down your kitty's throat, and they win because they're getting a treat *and* their medicine. Each bag has approximately 45 pockets. Promising review: "These pill pockets make life so much easier! Saves a twice-a-day fight ! It only takes a second to place the pills inside and pinch it shut. My cat loves the treat! In five months, he's only managed to get the pill out of the treat once, but I think it was the end of the bag when the treats might become less moist. Be sure to seal the bag well after use to keep the treats as fresh and pliable as possible. I can fit about two small pills max into each treat. " — Melissa Get 45 salmon-flavored pill pockets from Amazon for $6.48 . And there's a version for dogs ! 8. A pet tag silencer to put an end to the grating jingle jangle of your dog's tags. Promising review: "If you hate listening to your pet's tags clink and jingle, save yourself the pain, and just order this tag silencer. You will love it. My husband loathes the sound of clicking dog tags and would perpetually take our dog's collar off. This tag silencer has solved that issue. We keep three tags on our dog's collar: an ID tag with contact info, a rabies tag, and a city license tag. All three fit with no issue and no jingle. There is definitely room for more tags. It is easy to attach to the collar, and once it's on, you don't have to mess with it again (unless you add or take tags off, obviously). This was the second one we purchased for our dog. The first one lasted roughly 2.5 years on a growing puppy. Our dog is pretty active, so it survived lake swimming, hiking, rough play with other dogs, etc. It also survived hot summers and cold winters, but our dog prefers winters spent under a blanket next to the heater vent. We have recommended it to family and friends, and they all love it. I also work in a veterinary office and recommend it to clients who complain about the clinking of tags." — Work hard, play hard. Get it from Amazon for $12.95 (available in three colors). 9. A nail file board if your options are as follows: 1) chase them around the house with nail clippers and fail spectacularly, 2) pay $$ and bring them to the groomer, who says they couldn't trim your dog's nails because Fido wouldn't stop screaming (happened to me!), or 3) pay $$$ and bring them to the vet who has to sedate them (not a good long-term option). This stress-free option turns nail trims into an interactive game you'll both enjoy! Promising review: "Expensive but well worth the money . Nothing else had worked, and my alternative was going to be putting my dog under anesthesia three times a year — much more expensive AND not healthy. Irena was hugely responsive when I had some questions regarding training my very polite dog to aggressively scratch at the surface. She asked for videos and gave me helpful tips in a timely manner. 110% satisfied. " — Dan B Get it from Amazon for $149 . 10. A slow feeder insert that'll draw out mealtime and help reduce your pet's risk of choking, gagging, post-meal vomiting, and bloating. It uses suction to stick right to the food bowl and can be washed and reused at every meal. Promising review: "I have an Anatolian shepherd who has decided chewing isn't necessary, and they are prone to bloat. I got this and could not be happier! So you can trim this to fit a bowl. I ordered him a bigger bowl because he's a big guy. It fits perfectly. It's a soft silicone so it will not rub a raw place like some others I looked into. It's just enough to slow him down without impeding him from eating comfortably. I would give 10 stars if I could. " — Christi W. Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in three styles). 11. A car door protector so your pooch's nails don't scratch your car's leather while they're sticking their head out the window and catching a breeze. Promising review: "Exceeded expectations in my 4Runner. Very satisfied customer. Bought this to protect the doors and especially the padded portions on the upper part of the rear doors on my 2006 4Runner. My 65-pound Golden Retriever puppy likes to put his paws on the door to look out, and his claws were creating permanent dents in the soft-touch plastic. Received in good condition, and the fabric is heavy-duty. Secondarily, they match well with the gray interior. I was skeptical they would stay in place because the tabs that go in the window channels slid in easily and don't seem to 'lock' in the window channel. They work perfectly and don't move at all, even now that he is 65+ pounds. I am 100% happy with these after about a month of use, and they are holding up great with no signs of wear. Would buy again." — old john Get it from Amazon for $21.95+ (available in three colors). 12. A hair-removing glove for curbing your dog's shedding as well as satisfying his endless desire for some rubbies. It's great if your dog or cat goes running at the sight of a brush. BuzzFeed Shopping contributor AnaMaria Glavan swears by this thing. In her own words: " The glove is super comfortable and using it couldn’t be more foolproof: just put it on and run your hands through your pet’s fur. That’s it! The silicone grooves pick up so much fur with ease. Like, my dog looks close to hairless. HOW is he shedding so much!?!? After a few runs, I found that I would have to remove fur from the glove before continuing (you can pick up the fur with your other hand or run the glove under some water — either works), but it’s no biggie. The silicone actually makes it really easy to keep this clean. We got Rockie when he was 5, and he’d been riddled with skin issues and allergies, so I was pretty nervous to use anything that could potentially aggravate his conditions. However! Not only does this *not* bother his skin, but he...loves this. A lot. He starts snoring after exactly two run-throughs on his back. Also, his coat looks SO shiny after each use! TL;DR: this is one of those inexpensive add-ons that any pet owner should have on hand. " Get it from Amazon for $7.98 . 13. A silent chew toy to keep everyone happy. It has an ultrasonic squeaker that only your dog can hear = you can watch TV, do work, read a book, take a nap, etc., without the incessant high-pitched squeak of your pup nomming on their toy. And there's no stuffing inside, so you won't need to clean gator guts! Promising review: "I have an auditory processing disorder, and that makes squeak toys very difficult for me. I always had to be very careful as to what toys my good girl could have. This has solved all the problems! The only sound I can hear is the air being pushed out, and she goes nuts for it! Best of both worlds! If only all dog toys were like this!" — V. F. Get it from Amazon for $15.98+ (available in 11 styles). 14. A pet hair roller if you love your fur babies but hate how much they shed...on everything. Roll it over your couch, bed, favorite blanket, you name it, and watch it lift the fur away. See, we can own nice things!! Promising review: "Where has this been all my cat-loving life? Sticky rollers work fine for clothes, but this is the only product that has ever COMPLETELY removed all the cat hair from my bed. I have a long-haired 20-pound tabby, and if you run your hands up his back a few times and fling the hair everywhere, it looks like it's snowing — he never stops shedding no matter what I do. After using the ChomChom, I can put on a black dress and roll around on my bed and not get a single hair on me. It's absolutely amazing. Everyone is getting one for Christmas, even if they don't have a pet. I don't care, it's THAT good. " — Stephanie Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in four colors). 15. A mounted brush that'll satisfy your cat's ceaseless demands for scritches. Just mount it to a corner with the included adhesive strips and watch as your beloved babies leave you for the warm embrace of this gray and white piece of plastic. Promising review: "My cat Gambino Bambino would let you brush him bald!!! He loves to be groomed and comes running whenever the brush comes out. Though we love to accommodate, I know he wanted more. He was constantly rubbing his cheeks and ears on the corner of our walls to get even more scratching. I finally came across this product and knew he would love it! It took a little convincing, but once he got a hang of it, he’s been loving it ! We have one in the living room, one in the kitchen, one at the top of the stairs, and one in the guest room! He is having a great time!!! Very easy to put together and place on the wall. " — T. Mangiaracina Get it from Amazon for $4.99 . 16. A pack of stain-removing pads so you can tackle the inevitable messes that come with owning a pet. Pee? Check! Poop? Check! Vomit? Check! (You can even use them to clean up your wine spills.) Promising review: "Our poor older pup started having some incontinence issues and had several accidents in the house. I was really frustrated until I found these. They work amazingly well. They're small, so if the area was larger, I had to use two or three, but they pulled up stains and saved the house from being smelly. I even used one on an older stain (that I'm pretty sure wasn't pet-related), and it came up after leaving it on for about 24 hours. I make sure to keep a supply of these in the house at all times now. " — MC Get a pack of 20 from Amazon for $24.99 . 17. A Door Buddy strap because your furry friend has crashed too many Monday morning meetings with your boss. It'll bar sneaky sniffers who have learned to open the door from entering rooms they're not supposed to enter — like the garage for their daily trip to the litter box for an afternoon snack. 🤢 Promising review: "I love the Door Buddy! I found another use for it. The Door Buddy is also good for introducing a new cat into the household. I adopted a new kitten and my adult cat was outraged! I separated the kitten by putting him in the guest room. After a couple of days I used the Door Buddy to just crack the door open so my adult cat could safely sniff the new kitten. Every two days I adjusted the DB to allow the door to open a little more. In a week my adult cat was trying to play with the kitten through the door! This is a great product and so easy to set up and use. Thanks!" — A. Hill Get it from Amazon for $16.94 . 18. A pooper scooper for scooping the dang poop, so you don't have to kneel down to pick it up. Promising review: "With three dogs, two small and one large, scooping the yard is a never-ending job. But with the Arm & Hammer swivel bin and rake, there is no more bending to pick up the doggy droppings . I am able to easily use the rake to push the droppings into the bag-covered bin. When I am done cleaning up the yard, I just simply remove the plastic bag from the scoop, tie it off, and dispose. I spray off the with the hose and then clip the rake onto the scooper for easy storage. I really like this handy scooper. It makes a very icky job much easier to handle. " — Kelly Eldred Get it from Amazon for $19.73 . 19. A set of clear couch protectors to save your furniture from your cat's wrath. These self-adhesive pads blend in with your couch and chairs and can be cut to size. Promising review: "Our cat was destroying the corner of our brand new sectional, so I was excited to try these out. I didn’t want to try sprays or anything with pins that puncture the couches. I was a little worried about the quality of the adhesive, but the screen has been holding up, and my cat no longer scratches that corner . There are plenty of screens in the package to add more if she finds a new spot." — NKakanis Get a pack of 10 from Amazon for $17.99 (available in two other pack styles). 20. A purring cat toy if you're waking every hour because your anxious kitty won't stop meowing. This purple guy has a built-in purring mechanism, so your feline can enjoy the sensation of curling up to another purring "cat." It also plays calming, comforting sounds. Promising review: "Works like a charm! I recently found myself a cat mama of an abandoned week-old kitten. I bought this knowing she needed just something to cuddle up to in her bed. Turns out it basically hypnotizes her to sleep. She crawls to it, kneads it, and eventually, her meows turn to silence. I wish the purring lasted longer, but for $10, it is a lifesaver. She's pooped on it a couple of times, so I've had to throw it in the washer and dryer minus the battery pack. It's held up great." — S Leytem Get it from Amazon for $10.99 . 21. A customizable litter box splash guard that'll protect your walls, prevent your kitty from peeing outside the box, and trap litter they like to kick up after conducting business. Tell me why cats always pee in the tiny spot between the wall and the litter pan! 😩 Promising review: "I don't know who needs to hear this, but my cat has a leg on her, and she kicks her BMs quite far at times. This privacy screen works well, and we no longer have an issue." — Jamie Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in four sizes). 22. A top entry litter box so litter stays where it belongs: in the dang box and NOT all over your floors and carpet. It has a grooved lid to catch any litter that's attached itself to your cat's paws, plus it comes with scoop! Promising review: "We are first-time cat owners, and our very skittish and easily spooked 1.5-year-old cat had just come from a foster home where she wasn’t thriving. On the first day in our home, she used this litter box (she had been using a traditional, completely open low box). We opted for the large size since we knew she might grow a bit still. I'm glad we did because even though she’s a small cat, the large size gives her plenty of room. We wanted a covered one because our only place for a litter box was right next to our claw foot tub, and we didn’t want a bunch of water splashing in and wasting litter. Can’t say enough about how stoked we are about this litter box! Not hideous, super easy to clean, and our sweet (and no longer skittish) cat loves it! " — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $28.47+ (available in five colors). 23. Or a double-layer cat litter-trapping mat because it's designed to grab the crystals and pebbles that hitch a ride on your cat's paws so they don't end up all over your floors. Then you can just dump the litter right back into their box! Promising review: "Can I give more than 5 stars? This mat is amazing! I was skeptical, but for the first time ever kitty litter wasn’t tracked all over our house . We have two cats and have tried lots of other mats, and none of them have ever worked. This one catches all the kitty litter and it’s super easy to shake it out and clean too. Not sure how I ever lived without this!" — Katherine Henle Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in two sizes and in three colors). 24. A broom for pet hair for loosening the fur trapped in your carpet. It works just as well on wood and linoleum, with the rubber head working as a magnet to attract stray hairs. Promising review: "So of course I saw this product on TikTok... and added it to the list of things that TikTok made me buy. But I'm very glad that I did. I have a Siberian husky who sheds a LOT...and in all seasons. I use this on my carpet before vacuuming, and it loosens up the hair so easily that my vacuum never got. I never realized I had that much dog hair caked into my carpet until I used this!" — Alyssa Frey Get it from Amazon for $15.91 . Check out my colleague's FURemover Evriholder broom review for more deets and some very satisfying photos of the globs of hair she removed from her carpet. 25. A portable shower attachment to come in handy when your pup inevitably gets dirty on one of your outdoor adventures. It attaches to standard plastic water bottle openings, is machine-washable, and comes with a lifetime warranty. Promising review: "We have three Aussies who find mud in drought. Works great on any bottle we tried it with. A gallon milk jug is my favorite. Also terrific for muddy or overheated children! " — J. W. Ramsden Get it from Amazon for $11.95 . 26. A "Did you feed the dog?" sign if Fido is taking advantage of confusion re: whether he was fed to trick you into giving him another scoop of kibble. Promising review: " I don’t usually bother to review but this was so much nicer than I expected! Larger, well made, WOW! I hate to admit senility. I love my dog. Imagine forgetting if I fed her or not? I don’t want her overfed or overweight. This is the best thing! I stuck it to the top of her food storage. Now no question. A++++ Seriously such better quality and size than I expected!!!" — Suzy Get it from Amazon for $9.95 (also available in a cat version ). 27. A set of elevated cat bowls that are both functional and stylish. These stainless-steel bowls are angled to reduce neck strain. And the deep, wide bowls also help prevent whisker fatigue (aka when the whiskers are overstimulated by being touched too much). Promising review: "I have always had a problem with my one cat vomiting undigested food. My vet told me she was probably eating too fast. I stumbled upon an ad on Facebook stating the bowl position was the reason for cats vomiting; bowls resting on the floor put their neck at an odd angle and can cause acid reflux. I’ve used them for about two weeks and my cat has not vomited once! It was almost a daily occurrence prior to purchasing these! I did have to rest their old bowls inside these to get them to eat. But after a few days I could put the food directly into these bowls and they did not complain." — kindlefire09-8 Get it from Amazon for $23.99 . 28. A no-spill water bowl so your floor isn't soaking wet after your pet grabs a drink. Water flows when your pet's tongue touches the floating disk in the center = they stay hydrated and your floors stay dry. The sides are also raised to prevent water from spilling out if you were to accidentally bump the bowl. Promising review: "TikTok made me buy it, and I'm glad I did. I thought my fur baby would have had a hard time getting the hang of drinking, but he caught on pretty fast. Worth the buy." — Leah L Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in three sizes and several colors). 29. A DogBuddy pooper scooper because the sensory experience of grabbing Rover's "business" — even if your hand is wrapped in a waste bag — is just *gags* especially when your trying to grasp runny poop and are just smearing it into the sidewalk. Try this claw tool instead, which has an integrated poop bag compartment so you can pick up the poop, clamp shut the mouth, tie the bag, and then drop it right in the trash can. Check out a TikTok of the DogBuddy scooper in action. DogBuddy is a small business specializing in pet care products including bowls, mats, and scoopers. Promising review: "I normally don’t leave reviews but this is amazing! It’s easy to use and saves so many dog bags if you’re taking a number of dogs on a walk because you don’t need to open a new bag for each poop. It also makes the whole process a lot less gross . I would 100% recommend this for dog walks and even picking up poop in the backyard. It holds a lot more than you’d think!" — Joslyn Cavitt Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in four colors and two sizes).

The Latest: State funeral for Jimmy Carter will be Jan. 9NEW YORK (AP) — It’s almost that time of year: Spotify is gearing up to release its annual Wrapped, personalized recaps of users' listening habits and year in audio. Spotify has been giving its listeners breakdowns of their data since 2016. And each year, it’s become a bigger production — and internet sensation. Spotify said its 2023 Wrapped was the “biggest ever created,” in terms of audience reach and the kind of data it provided. So, what will 2024 have in store? Here’s a look at what to know ahead of this year’s Spotify Wrapped. It’s the streaming service's annual overview of individual listening trends, as well as trends around the world. Users learn their top artists, songs, genres, albums and podcasts, all wrapped into one interactive presentation. The campaign has become a social media sensation, as people share and compare their Wrapped data with their friends and followers online. Past iterations have provided users with all kinds of breakdowns and facts, including whether they’re among an artist’s top listeners, as well as a personalized playlist of their top 100 songs of that year to save, share and listen to whenever they’re feeling nostalgic. Spotify also creates a series of playlists that reflect national and global listening trends, featuring the top streamed artists and songs. In 2023, Taylor Swift was Spotify's most streamed artist , unseating Bad Bunny who had held the title for three years in a row. Each year has something new in store. In 2019, Wrapped included a summary of users’ streaming trends for the entire decade. Last year, Spotify matched listeners to a Sound Town based on their artist affinities and how it lined up with those in other parts of the world. So far, the streaming platform has kept the highly anticipated release date of Wrapped under ... er, wraps. In past years, it’s been released after Thanksgiving, between Nov. 30 and Dec. 6. Each year, rumors tend to swell on social media around when Spotify stops collecting data in order to prepare their Wrapped results, and this year was no exception. Spotify quickly squashed those presumptions , assuring on social media that “Spotify Wrapped doesn’t stop counting on October 31st.” A representative for Spotify did not respond to a request for comment on when the company stops tracking data for Wrapped. When Wrapped is released, each user's Spotify account will prompt them to view their interactive data roundup. It can be accessed through the Spotify smartphone app, or by logging on to the Spotify website . Wrapped is available to users with and without Premium subscriptions. There are a handful of third-party sites that you can connect your Spotify account to that will analyze your Wrapped data. How Bad is Your Spotify is an AI bot that judges your music taste. Receiptify gives you your top songs on a sharable graphic that looks like, yes, a receipt. Instafest gives you your own personal music festival-style lineup based on your top artists. How NPRCore Are You assesses how similar your music taste is to NPR Music's. Other major streaming platforms such as Apple Music and YouTube Music have developed their own versions of Wrapped in recent years. Apple Music’s Replay not only gives its subscribers a year-end digest of their listening habits but monthly summaries as well — a feature that helps differentiate itself from the one-time Spotify recap. That's released at the end of the calendar year. YouTube Music, meanwhile, has a similar end-of-the-year release for its listeners, as well as periodic seasonal releases throughout the year. It released its annual Recap for users earlier this month.
