Simon's Cat In "Christmas Presence"

Christmas Presence - Simon's Cat

"A festive feline goes looking for a Christmas treat"...and boy does he find one! I'm still riding high from my encounter with Simon's Cat creator Simon Tofield last week, and finding a new Simon's Cat film in my inbox this morning was an unexpected snow day treat. It just goes to show that Santa has love for naughty kitties, too!

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!
