The item that has been suggested to me is made of leather. I do not purchase or wear leather -- it is a cruel industry that is not just a byproduct of meat and its production destroys the environment. I shopped all over the internet and in Boston for a non-leather version, and was not successful.
The route of least resistance would be to just buy the leather item, which I found in a store in Downtown Boston. And, for a moment, I thought about just buying it and saving myself time and aggravation. In good conscience, though, I just can't do it. I have another gift idea that I think will work well, and I'm going to go with that.

Thank you, H, for being the way you are. You make me feel there is hope in this crazy world, you do...
Thank you for a wonderful post exposing such an awful treatment in animals. I am sickened over this. I do my best not to purchase any products that contain leather since going vegan. I hope millions of people read your post!!!
