Dear Sir or Madam,

At Boston Made, we’re always pushing forward — reimagining, rebuilding, and refining the way we serve our customers and their beloved pets. Right now, we’re in the middle of an exciting construction overhaul and full-scale redesign of the Boston Made Pets website, and trust us… it’s going to be worth the wait. This transformation is all about creating a smarter, cleaner, and more immersive shopping experience built for modern pet parents who want the very best for their dogs.

As we rebuild from the ground up, our vision is clear: to elevate the future of pet care through innovation. And at the core of that innovation is our upcoming Boston Made Box, a monthly subscription service tailored specifically around dog wearables. This curated box will deliver the newest, smartest, and most exciting wearable tech straight to your door — everything from activity trackers to smart collars, GPS devices, pet safety gear, and more. Each month brings fresh tools to help you protect, understand, and connect with your dog on a deeper level.

But the subscription box is just one piece of what’s coming. The redesigned Boston Made Pets website will also feature a full lineup of standalone dog wearables for those who want to shop at their own pace. Whether you’re looking for a single device to upgrade your dog’s safety or a full suite of connected pet gear, the new platform will make it easy to compare products, explore features, and find exactly what fits your dog’s lifestyle.

This overhaul isn’t just cosmetic — it’s a total rethinking of how pet parents discover and interact with modern pet technology. With a sleek interface, detailed product pages, improved navigation, and a more personalized shopping journey, Boston Made Pets is evolving into a next-generation destination for dog lovers who want the absolute best for their four-legged family members.

We’re building something special — something that reflects the innovation, care, and forward-thinking spirit of the entire Boston Made family of brands. And soon, you’ll get to experience it in a whole new way.

“Happiness is a warm puppy.”
– Charles M. Schulz

Why You Should Anticipate the Boston Made Pets Website Rollout

The upcoming Boston Made Pets website isn’t just a redesign — it’s a complete reimagining of how pet parents shop, discover, and connect with the latest in dog wearables and smart pet technology. Visitors should be excited because the new platform will make it easier than ever to find the perfect dog wearables, whether you’re subscribing to our Boston Made Box or purchasing standalone devices.

With improved navigation, detailed product insights, and a sleek, user-friendly interface, the new site will streamline your shopping experience while offering tools and resources to help your dog live a healthier, safer, and happier life. Every click, every page, and every feature is designed with both pets and their humans in mind — ensuring convenience, confidence, and delight with every visit.

Anticipating the rollout means being among the first to experience a smarter, more connected way to care for your dog, with innovative products and services that reflect the cutting-edge approach Boston Made Pets is known for. The wait will be worth it — your dog (and you) deserve nothing less than the best.

Dear Sir or Madam,

Boston Made Games has grown into a full arcade for the Boston Made network, free to play in any browser.

What’s in the Game Hall

  • Story games: Find Boston, Mr. B’s Fine Cuts, the Harbor Key slot adventure and Wild Buffaloes.
  • Puzzles: the Boston Crossword, Beacon Sudoku, Word Search, Beat-the-Clock Trivia and Memory Match.
  • Classics: Checkers on the Common, Jacks or Better, Harbor Blackjack and Texas Hold’em on Hanover Street.
  • A tribute to North End restaurateur Frank DePasquale through The Adventures of Frank Depastrami.

Casino-style games use play coins only, with no cash value. They can’t be bought, sold or redeemed, and the arcade is for adults 18+.

Win a skill game, save in the shop

Solve a crossword, sudoku or word search, score 7 of 10 in trivia, or beat the computer at checkers to unlock ARCADE15, a real 15% coupon for the Boston Made Pets shop. Find Boston and Mr. B’s Fine Cuts each have their own code. Slots and card games never pay real rewards.

Take the art home

The arcade’s artwork is now available as instant-download art packs: $4.99 each, or $9.99 for the complete bundle with the Boston Made Games skyline wallpaper.

For local businesses

The same animated banners that promote the games are now open to advertisers. Packages start at $149 a month, and game sponsorships can write a business right into the story. See advertising options.

Lumo.gold Rebuilds as a Consumer-First Directory for Selling Gold

The relaunched Lumo.gold helps people compare local cash-for-gold businesses in the US and UK and request a no-pressure introduction to a vetted buyer.

Dear Sir or Madam,

Lumo.gold has relaunched as a consumer-first directory for people looking to sell gold. The new site’s promise: “Find a gold buyer you can feel good about.”

Visitors can search by location and by what they are selling — jewelry, coins and bullion, watches, silver or estate pieces — and compare local cash-for-gold businesses on the signals that matter, such as credentials, a transparent process and appointment availability.

Clarity before the counter

Lumo pairs the directory with guidance. A three-step approach encourages sellers to compare buyers’ credentials, understand the karat, weight and condition of their items before a conversation, and contact buyers on their own terms.

Fair pricing starts with clarity.

An introduction service

For sellers who are ready, Lumo offers a buyer introduction: describe what you have and where you are, and Lumo will connect you with a vetted local buyer, with no obligation. Any service fee is quoted explicitly and must be accepted by the seller. Lumo is clear that it is a discovery and introduction service — it does not buy or sell gold, provide valuations, or guarantee any offer.

What’s next

  • Directory coverage across the United States and United Kingdom
  • Live map search, planned for the next build
  • Business listing submissions for local buyers, coming with the full directory
Lumo.goldFind a trusted gold buyer near you.
