I Can Has Cheezburger & Garfield 2014 Cat Calendar Giveaway!

When it comes to calendars, you know I'm always picking a kitty one. The folks at Andrews McMeel Publishing know this too, so they sent me a I Can Has Cheezburger 2014 calendar and Garfield 2014 calendar to review!


Charlie can has cheezburger?

Before I got my paws on them though, Charlie decided to adopt them as his own. I'm not sure why a cat needs a calendar (as far as he's concerned, every day is Caturday), but I just didn't have the heart to tell him that.


Aww, they're not so bad!

Seriously though, the wall calendars are super cool and cute. The ICHC calendar is colorful and features collages of clever kitty captions, while the Garfield "I Hate Mondays" calendar is purrfect for the real life grumpy cat in your life!

Giftskins Customized Cat Wrapping Paper Giveaway!

You woke me up from my nap for this?

I love purrsonalized feline products, so when Giftskins.com contacted me about trying out customized gift wrap with my pretty kitty's face on it, it was an offer I couldn't refuse!


Dis kitty.

The process of ordering is super easy. I simply picked out my design from the dozens available on their site, and was able to customize it with the images and text of my choice.


Happy Holidays From Catsparella!

I decided to go with two of my favorite Instagram pictures of Priscilla: One of her wearing a beautiful pink bow (from our friends at Snoop Catty Catt, holla!), and another where she is WERKING a tiny straw hat. The custom message on the wrap reads: "Happy Holidays From Catsparella!"


Meowy Christmas Gift Wrap

In addition to their wide selection of wrapping paper for every occasion, Giftskins also offers several pet-centric designs, including the adorable "Cat and Yarn" motif that I selected.


Cat's Meow Gift Wrap

My wrapping paper shipped quickly, and is great quality. I also love that it has a grid on the back, great for lining it up with boxes. One roll is $14.95 (19.75 x 76.75in.), and will wrap three medium sized gifts. I must say it's so cool seeing little Priscilla's face on the paper...I might just end up saving it all for myself!
