You can customize it with a quote on the back. SMZHDLTD is a UK-based Etsy shop.

Get it from SMZHDLTD for $31.23.

3. A Puppagotchi tag to celebrate the fact that you graduated from virtual to real pets. Remembering to feed them, pick up poop, provide ample pats — same thing, really. 

Barkada / Etsy

You can customize the back with your name and phone number. Barkada sells enamel keychains and dog tags from Los Angeles. 

Promising review: "This ID tag is SO cute and nostalgic. It was a perfect fit for my pup's collar. The engraving is nice and dark and has not worn down at all.

Will ONLY be shopping from them for future tags!" —Virginia

Get it from Barkada for $23.99+ (available in colors/sizes).  

4. Dagger-shaped push pins so you can dramatically add your to-do list to your corkboard. Main quest chores like doing the dishes will have to wait — there are more exciting side quests (like decorating your corkboard) to take care of first!
