Winter Wonderland with My Purrfect Gift Box

The Christmas My Purrfect Gift Box landed on the doorstep with a thump a few weeks ago and it is safe to say I had three cats all wondering what was for them inside the box.

Opening up the box inside there are gifts and treats to remind us all of the festive season.

The first item I pulled out of the box was a knitted beanie, but not just any beanie, it is a pale pink cat ear beanie with sequins and is so soft and smooth to the touch and is incredibly cute.

It retails for just £13 in here.

The second item is a Cat Shelf Sitter which has been handmade by Rose Cottage Pillows in the USA These adorable cats are in a red snowflake print and are adorned with satin bow, bell and cute button tail.

Mine sits next to the cat urn I have for Asbo and it is a really lovely touch.  Priced at £15 you can find them and others in this Etsy Store.

I love the cute and quirky card cards which are the third item in the box. They come adorned with pictures of cats with bright green envelopes making them perfect for sending a quick note.

These cards can be found here in the Bubblecat Etsy Store and are priced at £12.

This Woolen Kitten Charm comes next and it is currently sat on my Christmas Tree but can be used to decorate your handbag, phone or anything with a zipper on.

Handmade using wool and felt, they retail at £4 and can be found in the Etsy Store InfiniteFluffs.

The final gift for the adults is this absolutely stunning customised 925 sterling silver cat necklace which has a pretty snowflake also on the chain.  I love the delicate detail of the cat and how well it sits when wearing.

You can find this necklace in the gift shop of My Purrfect Gift Box for just £15 and it is a perfect gift for any cat lover.

Included within these boxes are also treats for your furballs and this is where the excitement usually occurs with my three.  The first item out of the box was a felted Gingerbread Man which was heavily scented with catnip and it did cause a bit of a fight until Dude was the eventual winner.

Next came a snowflake collar from Cool Cat Collars and it has Silver sparkle snowflakes on an white background and is fitted with a breakaway safety buckle and a bell. Priced at just £6.99 you can find these collars right here.

The final item out of the box comes a tub of natural cat food from Meowing Heads. Gone Fishin' as it is named is fish & chicken complete cat food has been gently steamed to keep its delicate fishy flavours locked in. Unsurprisingly it was very popular with my three cats who between then devoured it.

Once again, this is another amazing Purrfect Box and with something for everyone, we have a very happy household. If you like the look of these products, there is a shop to treat yourself or your little ball of fur right here.

If you have never come across this box before then here is a little background as to how and where the idea came from. Kim and Juan Kniveton the founders of My Purrfect Gift Box are dedicated cat lovers, so much so they moved back from the USA to the Isle of Man to set up and run their own idyllic countryside retreat for cats - Boodee Beg Boarding Cattery, something I dream of doing (if I ever win the lottery). With their onsite gift shop not doing as well as they had hoped, Kim and Juan decided to start My Purffect Box and each month they choose to focus on a different cat charity, rescue centre or shelter and highlight the work they do through their social media sites and through information that comes in each box. They then donate 5% of all our profits from that month's box to that chosen charity of the month.

Kind Natured - The New Naturals

Kind Natured - The New Naturals
Kind Natured is a brand that believes in keeping it natural, the feel good formulations stick to a carefully edited list of non-toxic, eco-friendly and thoughtfully selected plant extracts to deliver a therapeutic pampering exercise and a totally guilt free one at that.

I have been using some products from the new tropically inspired Kind Nature Bodycare range Shea and Macadamia plus Coconut and Monoi and basically they smells absolutely blooming amazing! Described as being delicately scented, these products are designed to leave your skin and body feeling absolutely amazing from touch to scent.

The first item is the Deeply Nourishing Shea and Macadamia Creamy Body Scrub which is for very dry skin. A creamy and rich exfoliant which uses crush olive seeds to renew even the scaliest of skin, so there is hope for my lizard calves yet.  On the skin, the crushed seeds do a really great job at removing the dead and dry skin without being too overly abrasive and the scent is just really lovely.  Priced at just £4.99 for a 200ml tube, this is very much value for money.

In the same Shea and Macadamia scent is a Deeply Nourishing Body Lotion and again the scent is just fantastic. The use of both Shea Butter and Macadamia Nut Oil are absolute heaven for dry and parched skin as they deeply moisturise, nourish and hydrate. A 250ml tube is priced at £5.99.

If Coconut is a scent for you then the Kind Natured have products for you.  The two products I have been using is a body lotion and a hand cream.

The Coconut and Monoi Hand cream is infused with Shea, Grapeseed Oil and Coconut Oil to keep your cuticles nourished and your hands soft, smooth and hydrated.  What I love about this hand cream aside from the smell is that the formula is non-greasy when applied and it absorbs relatively quickly.  A 100ml tube costs just £4.99.

The Moistuising Body Lotion which is also Coconut and Monoi has the same scent as the hand cream.  As a cream it is really lightweight, non-greasy and once it sinks in it leaves behind velvety soft and smooth skin to the touch and again scented delightfully.  A 250ml tube is priced at £5.99.

The Kind Natured brand has a plethora of products available in Boots - here you will find Shampoos, Conditioners, lip-balms, sugar scrubs, body washes and bath soaks in an array of scents, so if the two I have shared with you are not your thing, then there is plenty of other choices to be had.
