Next Christmas blogger challenge – Pets


On the 12th day of christmas, Next.co.uk gave to me…

Presents for the family member we often forget about 🙂

Cat Cracker – £6
Set contains 2 balls, 50g of crunchy turkey flavour treats and a plush toy.

Doggy Cracker – £6
Set contains play bone, tug rope and 75g of chocolate flavour dog treats.

Ceramic Treat Jar £8 and Porcelain Bowl £5
(Matching Dog set available too)

Cat House – £30
(Dog beds are also around £35)

So maybe an unexpected final gift guide, but I thought it would be nice to include a little something for the furry friends in our life! I got Millie a leopard print mat and pink food bowl as an early christmas present a few weeks ago (when we were in oogling at the guinea pigs in pet world, d’aww) But I’m defo thinking about getting her a little cat cracker for christmas day. Even though, she will be in her element playing amongst the wrapping paper (anyone elses cat go crazy for paper?)

I think the cat bed from next is lovely, so I had to include it but at £30 it is a bit pricey! Millie has a lovely cat bed, but most of the time she sneaks onto the bottom of our bed during the night. And her firm favourite place to snooze during the winter is here…

So my dears, that marks the end of my Next gift guide. The 12 days of Christmas have seemed much longer than 12 days, but it’s been good fun and a great wee challenge. Thank you for sticking with me, and I hope that some of it was of help to anyone out there needing a bit of last minute inspiration. If you’ve been clicking away for me up until now, thank you for that also! I think they will be monitoring my blog via analytics until christmas eve, so if you are popping off to the Next site for anything then please still click through my blog if you don’t mind. I’ll be sure to keep you all posted if all your clicks have got me in the running for a prize 🙂

Right gals, tis friday and I am super glad of that. Meeting a couple of old uni friends after work for some Raspberry Beers and Pizza at Bier Halle. Saturday I’ve got a lunch date with a friend, a shopping/cinema date with my boy in the evening and sunday I’m working. Monday is my last day of work and that’s me all done for christmas! So I’ll probs take a wee breather from the blog this weekend but I’ll be sure to follow what you’re all upto via ye olde tweet tweets

Much love! ♥ Ayden x

    Raspberry and pizza. Lush.
    I'm out for my works lunch this avo, gonna stuff my face. Already claimed another starter off someone who "just can't eat three courses!" What a loser!! 🙂

    Millie is lush! Look at her all stretched out on the heater.
    My dog, Hols, loves a bit of our bed when we let her. I would love to get her a dog cracker but she'd wipe the toy out in about 10 seconds. Destructive madam.

    Ooh and Professor Kelly will be doing a special science related post so make sure you read you little geek. 🙂 (but for now, it's wheat proteins that help bulk the hair giving it oomph)
    Laters my Scottish tater!

    I WAS RIGHT! I knew you'd just have to include Millie in here 😛 She is adorable, doesn't she burn her bum on the heater! Pippa has taken to laying bang in the middle of the hallway, stretched right out or about 3am she loves to come in and sit on my head!

    Love the kitty cracker <3 Have a great weekend xx

    Our hound will be in Kennels over Christmas, which might sound like a hardship, but the sisters who run it spoil him ROTTEN!

    Can't blieve the 12 days have finished, so much more satisfying than chocolate in an Advent Calendar to have blogs to look forward to.

    Have a fab weekend.

    I think I've visited the Next site more times in this past fortnight than I ever have altogether haha! 😀 It's been an excellent set of recommendations sweets, really tempted to get my dog a cracker now! Althought I imagine he might be more excited by the wrapping paper than the actual present… Have a nice weekend!jazzy ♥

    Love it! I've always gotten the kitties something for Christmas >.< this year I bought them kitty stockings that have all kinds of bits & bobs for them to play with.
    Your so right though, they seem more interested in the left over wrapping paper and/or christmas decorations >.<

    Love the beds! When I was in London last weekend I went to the Pet Spa (!!) at Harrods and there was an amazing dog bed… for £650!! Pets are worth it though (kind of). xx

    Aw, how I wish I had a pet of my own! D: this guide would of definitely come in handy!
    I did have a pet mouse (which ran away) and a pet hamster (which also ran away :P). Which only indicates I'm not too keen on taking care of pets yet hehe!

    Your cat is the cutest thing ever!
