My Purrfect Gift Box - Winter Wonderland*

The Christmas edition of My Purrfect Gift Box arrived a few days before Santa did and I couldn’t wait to see what was inside. Immediately upon opening the box, I spotted the lovely winter themed wrapping paper and it was packed with goodies for both me and Biscuit.

First up was a gift for Biscuit in the form of this Gingerbread Man  from 4cats which had a very strong catnip smell and went down an absolute TREAT with Biscuit. He could not get enough of this and it is also the reason for my 3am wake-up calls when I can hear him playing with this in the next room.

Next us is this adorable handmade woolen kitten charm, available on Etsy. Not only can you pop this on your Christmas tree, you can also attach to your handbag or phone. At only £4 each I think it is lovely and there are plenty of other designs on the owners shop including some super cute ginger cat themed items which I need in my life. They even have a personalised service so you can send them a photo of your cat and they'll create a design just for you.

I was so happy when I saw this beautiful necklace, it's so perfect! This sterling silver necklace has been customised with a snowflake which is perfect for this season and I think all cat lovers need one in there life. This retails at £15 and can be bought on the Purrfect Giftbox shop.

This cat shelf sitter (for humans only!) is beautifully made and adorned with red snowflake print. I loved having this out over the festive period and it added something different to the usual decorations you see on display at Christmas. Designed by Rose Cottage Pillows.

I then opened another gift for biscuit in the form of this snowflake cat collar from Cool Cat Collars. It's of really good quality and a soft but sturdy material meaning your cat won't be irritated by wearing it. I tried to take a photo with Biscuit wearing the collar but he is too fluffy to see it. The website has a lot of other great designs too if you're looking for something a bit more fun and exciting.

I am in love with the knitted cat ear beanie, such a unique product and I think it’s adorable. I will be getting my wear out of this during the winter, it’s incredibly soft and miraculously does not seem to give me hat hair after wearing it. This hat retails for £13 over on the Purrfect Gift Box Shop.

I love receiving new brands of food to try for Biscuit because he can sometimes go off his usual brand and it's nice to get him something different for a change. This Meowing Heads food was gobbled down a treat so I assume that means it was well liked, I however did not try it for myself!

Last but not least, I love the hipster design on these blank cards.  I was lucky enough to receive a pack of three and they turned out perfect for thank you cards after Christmas. Find this and other designs over on Etsy, retailing for £12 with shipping from the USA.  

Once again I am in love with My Purrfect Box. Between me and Biscuit we are incredibly happy and will be sure to enjoy the cold winter with all of these treats.

My Purrfect Gift Box - November*

 My Purrfect Gift Box  is my favourite cat subscription box out there and after not receiving it for a month I was so excited to see what I had been missing out on for the November box. This month’s theme was all about relaxing, just what I needed during the stresses of the festive season. When you buy this box a portion of the subscription costs goes to support UK cat charities, rescue centres and animal shelters. So while you are giving to yourself, know you are giving to the cats that need us across the UK.

One way to really relax and de-stress is to use a colouring book. This one contains 70 detachable pages filled with plenty of cat designs and patterns. I made a start one one of the pages recently and it’s amazing how your mind completely switches off and all of your worries are forgotten whilst colouring in. it really is the ultimate way to relax if you have a bit of spare time and I find it calms me down more so than if I was to switch on the TV or the IPad. This product retails at £7.99, worth every penny.

To go with the colouring book we received this super cute handmade pencil case packed with coloured pencils. Etsy seller Zookaboo retails similar cases for £15.00. the case can also be used for make-up or to store other bits and bobs in your handbag. The cat pattern is absolutely stunning!

One of the cat gifts this month was this huge Kong Kickeroo and three bamboo balls. This aims to help cats vent their frustrations, which definitely distracted Biscuit from ruining the Christmas tree so I was very grateful for this item! It intends to promote exercise in the cat which is something Biscuit needs help with. He seemed to take a liking to this toy straight away so is definitely a winner in my eyes!

We received this Lavender Pillow with cat design, filled with dried French lavender. This smells lovely and I have popped it in the top drawer of my bedside table so when I put away my items and go to bed, I can smell it which instantly relaxes me. Available from Etsy retailing at £5.50.

One of my favourite items in this month’s box is the Nancy&Nell handmade plum and rhubarb candle with cute personalised cat themed lid. The scent on this is absolutely gorgeous and I love that it’s purple to match the box, and my newly decorated bedroom! They sell similar products at about £12.99.

Lastly I received the Green&Wilds 100% natural cat treats in Salmon. These are Biscuit’s absolute favourite treats. I think they smell a bit like fish food but the cats can’t get enough. I’ve even been woken up in the middle of the night by Biscuit wanting these treats because I have left them in his view!

Thank you so much My Purrfect Gift Box for a lovely box. My Purrfect Gift Box offer a number of subscription options, which start at just £20.95.

My Purrfect Gift Box Review - September*

My Purrfect Gift Box  is my favourite cat subscription box out there and it seems to get better and better every month. This month’s theme was absolutely spot on and being all about tea, one of my favourite things in life, I was extremely pleased with the box. There seemed to be so many items in this month’s box and each and every one of them is something I (or Biscuit) will use. When you buy this box a portion of the subscription costs goes to support UK cat charities, rescue centres and animal shelters. So while you are giving to yourself, know you are giving to the cats that need us across the UK.

These handmade catnip sweets are from Tillypops, who also made Biscuit’s spotted blanket from a previous box. I think they are absolutely adorable and even come in a candy striped pick n mix style bag. Biscuit loved playing with these, he could smell the catnip right away! Available on their website.

Biscuit’s favourite item from these gift boxes so far has been his catnip fish from FreakMEOWt so when I saw another product from them in my box I knew this was going to be a winner, and I wasn’t wrong. This ‘teabag’ is infused with catnip and Biscuit loved it. I’ve been looking on their twitter page and I think they’re bringing out Christmas cat treats so I’ll definitely be picking one of those up for Biscuit this year.

I was intrigued when I saw this Kit-Tea catnip tea but thankfully it is for cats and not humans! These catnip teabags from Paw and Gnaw can be brewed and then used to make your own catnip sprays. You can also serve this in a bowl for your cat. I haven’t tried this yet as Biscuit has plenty of catnip goodies to play with but I will definitely be brewing this up and giving his toys a spray when the effects start to wear off. These teabags can even be dried out and reused – brilliant!

This mug is a My Purrfect Gift Box exclusive and comes adorned with the text “You are my cup of tea” and a cute little cat! This little cat will brighten any dreary morning, stick the kettle on and relax with your favourite brew. This mug retails at £11.99 and can be found on the online shop.

This has to be the most adorable item I have ever received! These handmade hanging cat tea bag holders fit right on the edge of your mug and can keep your teabag string in place. I love that I received a little ginger one, just like Biscuit! These retail for £9.50 and can be bought on Etsy shop MiniHandsCrafts.

These Cat head Shaped Tea bags have been made by LoJim in Spain and retail at £5.99 in her Etsy store. I received a honey tea and a saffron tea and admittedly I have already drank both mugs. The flavours are lovely and warming and teamed with the hanging cat, my mug and a biscuit made the perfect treat.

This gorgeous scented melt from Paw Melts is handmade and uses only natural and organic ingredients. The paw shape is said to symbolise the bond between owner and pet – how sweet! These retail at £18.50 for 9 and smell amazing. It also came in the most amazing packaging! I think these would make a great gift for any pet owner.

When I saw these Biscuits in my box I thought they were the most adorable things ever and I didn’t want to eat them! Of course for the purposes of a review I had to try them out and they were absolutely delicious. I think they’d make such a lovely gift for someone, I wish I was skilled enough to make something like these. These biscuits are made here in the UK by Nila Holden and you can find these cute biscuits and more on Not On The High Street retailing at around £6-10.

Thank you so much My Purrfect Gift Box for another amazing box. I think this has been my favourite one yet. If you’d like to sign up for your own box, head over to the My Purrfect Gift Box website or head to their shop for the chance to buy some of the items featured in this box and previous boxes. I think some of these gifts would make perfect stocking fillers and it’s never too early to start buying those!

My Purrfect Gift Box - August*

Once again My Purrfect Gift Box couldn’t have come at a better time and I always have a great smile on my face when I see the vibrant purple box waiting for me on my door step. As I have mentioned before and want to mention again, when you buy this box a portion of the subscription costs goes to support UK cat charities, rescue centres and animal shelters. So while you are giving to yourself, know you are giving to the cats that need us across the UK. I think that is such a lovely gesture. This month’s box was all about 'A Day In The Park' celebrating the end of summer, warm nights and love/romance.

The first item I received was this gorgeous bangle with 3 pendants. It comes complete with a ‘C’ for cat, but as my name begins with a C I was even more excited to receive and wear this lovely piece of jewellery as a cat lover. The moon stone charm gives the bracelet a pop of colour and I have received a few compliments from wearing this already.

I then received these cat face lights. I am currently decorating my cats bedroom (yes, he has his own room!) and these lights are going to look great in there. These are also battery powered which means you can place them pretty much wherever you like and you’re not restricted to having them near a plug. These lights come from Etsy and retail at £18.95. These are hand painted and you get 20 cat faces on the wire. I think they are fun and really bring something extra to a room!

 
This peacock/bird shaped cat toy has been well received by my furry friend! Made of felt this toy is handmade and sold on Etsy. I love catnip toys, Biscuit goes crazy for them and for only £3.95 you can’t really go wrong for hours of fun! I love that this box had lots of nice treats for Biscuit in this month.

I love that these Vets Kitchen little heart treats are actually heart shaped. These treats contain natural ingredients and are free from artificial colours and flavourings. Biscuit loves these, I like to give him a couple of treats in the evening and he has been practically launching towards me when he sees me get the packet out of the cupboard.

This cat decal is adorable and also comes from Etsy for just £2.99. I have chosen to place it on my laptop but it could have been applied to a window or even the car. It is removable but not reusable but I am happy with it taking pride of place on my laptop and makes me smile every time I come to use it. I think this is a great gift for a cat lover, I want one for every shiny surface I own!

I have always wanted a cat eared headband but never bought one. I love this accessory and it’s a great addition to my collection – I’m not sure I will wear it out of the house or to work but I am sure I can rock it at home or at a fancy dress party!

This furry heart cat toy is handmade from wool and is just £4 from Paw and Gnaw. Filled with a premium dried catnip centre, Biscuit was drawn to this immediately but thankfully didn’t smell strong to me.

I am in love with this cute print depicting three cats sat on the moon, this will also go perfectly in my cat themed room once I start to get things in place. This comes signed by Etsy designer ACatLikeCuriosity and there are many more prints where this one came from! The prints are really affordable and you can even have your own pet illustrated in cartoon form by the artist which I am extremely tempted by.

What do you think of this box? Would you buy this for a fellow cat lover? Even if you don’t want to subscribe, you can purchase some of the items in the shop.

My Purrfect Gift Box - July*

I apologise this post is up slightly later than I would have liked however since moving house I have been a little pushed for time. My Purrfect Gift Box couldn’t have come at a better time and I was so pleased to see it arrive on my doorstep. As I have mentioned before, I love this box and everything it stands for. I love that when you buy this box a portion of the subscription costs goes to support UK cat charities, rescue centres and animal shelters.  So while you are giving to yourself, know you are giving to the cats that need us across the UK.

The first item I received was a My Purrfect Gift Box exclusive. This gorgeous cat themed cheeseboard has been designed and engraved for the boxes in the Isle of Man. The board is sturdy and feels like it is very good quality. I love that its not too big, you can fit this in your picnic hamper. It also comes with a handy butter spreader, perfect for a lovely summers day out. This cheese board retails at £18.95 and was created by Dalewood Craft Designs.

These gorgeous handmade shatterproof champagne flutes were the perfect accompaniment when popping open a bottle of Prosecco the day we got the keys to our house. I love that the flutes are decorated with a ‘MEOW’ decal down the side. They also have indentations so they are easy to hold and re-usable. These are great for celebrating and you don’t have to worry about any broken glass if things get a bit out of hand! Take them along to picnics and festivals where glass is often banned. These flutes retail at £12.50 but you can purchase them for £5.50 on the Purrfect Gift Box Shop, find out more from Govino.

Another fabulous picnic treat is the delicious chutneys and james made right here in the UK in Yorkshire. Labelled up with the Purrfect Gift Box logo I wasn’t sure where they were from but knowing they are fairly local was brilliant news. These chutneys and jams go great with some crackers or bring them along with your cheese board! I tried both of these and thought they were really tasty! These are available from The Fruity Kitchen and retail at £5 for 2.

These fun summer time napkins are great to pop in your picnic hamper or to use at your BBQ’s this summer. I love anything cat related and the design on these napkins is adorable. As napkins go, these really do the job and will brighten up your events and meals. These retail at £2.99.

This month’s box included some lovely cat treats too, so Biscuit was happy! The first item was some Lily’s Kitchen Cat Food. Their organic cat food recipes are nutritious complete meals, grain free and have a very high organic fresh meat content. Biscuit isn’t usually fussy when it comes to food but he really did enjoy this one. I would love to get him some of the other flavours as I love feeding him healthy foods.

This next item is a catnip flower from 4cats which really did smell strong. This toy smelt so strong that I had to shut it away when Biscuit wasn’t playing with it! He really did enjoy this toy, to the point where if I wanted him to come indoors I used this scent to draw him in!

This mini catnip pillow from Cleo & Milo is handmade and adorable. It doesn’t take up too much space, doesn’t smell strong to me but Biscuit loves it and I often find him cuddled up to it at night!
