How to Assemble the Perfect Present for Your Pup

Holiday· Pets

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of The J.M. Smucker Company. The opinions and text are all mine.

How to Assemble the Perfect Present for Your Pup

With the holiday season upon us, we have found ourselves in the full swing of holiday shopping. Whether it be for family parties or the big events themselves, it seems like there is always a reason to buy a gift this time of year. Of course, the best reason to buy a gift for someone is because you love them and want them to feel special. My youngest son reminded me of this fact, just the other day. We were at Walmart to pick up some of the usual grocery items, when a single thought hit Levi like a ton of bricks. He looked up at me and in his most serious voice said, “I think we should get something for Emma and Teddy (our dogs). We haven’t bought anything for them for the holidays“. I could tell by the tone in his voice and the look in his eyes that we just had to get the pups a few of their favorite things, in order to fix this injustice.

We decided to create a holiday gift basket for our dogs to remind them how loved they are and to hopefully make them feel special. It has been awesome to watch the relationships between our boys and pups blossom, especially over the last year. Whether they’re playing in the yard or snuggled up on the couch when one of the boys isn’t feeling well, the bond is visible and it runs deep. Emma and Teddy truly complete our little family and I can’t imagine our lives without them.

When it comes to buying gifts for our fur babies, we always start in the same spot…….the treat aisle.

In our house there are a few must haves when talking about dog treats. The first thing that made its way into our cart was a 10 pound box of Milk-Bone Original Dog Snacks. I don’t think there is a more classic dog treat on the market, and they are perfect for dogs of all sizes. We love the fact that they help to clean our dog’s teeth and are vitamin enriched. These facts coupled with knowing they are made right here in America makes Milk-Bone a perfect treat to reciprocate the unconditional love our pups show us, all year long.

The second item we picked up is a pouch of Pup-Peroni Original Beef Flavor. Pup-Peroni is our favorite treat to take on the go. It’s the perfect reminder to our pups that they are being good in the car or listening well at the park. With real beef as the #1 ingredient, Pup-Peroni has a mouthwatering aroma that our dogs simply can’t resist.

Our third choice was Milo’s Kitchen Chicken Meatballs. Milo’s uses real chicken as their first ingredient and are cooked to perfection with their homestyle recipe. Our pups drool over this savory treat and it allows us to share the love of the kitchen. Now that we have our treats, it’s time to build our gift basket.

Assembling this special gift for your pups is simple, use a basket fit for gifting (we love this one because it’s got a cute chalkboard label on the front that you can personalize). I love using large baskets for dog gifts because after the treats are gone they can be repurposed as a toy basket!

Once you’ve got your basket, layer in all of the treats you picked up at Walmart – your Milk-Bone, Pup-Peroni, and Milo’s Kitchen goodies.

Once you’ve got your treats in the basket, it’s time to surround them with toys! When shopping for toys, just choose things you know your dog will love. I know that both of our dogs love soft toys that they can snuggle, so we picked up a few to include in this fun gift!

Once your basket is filled, it’s ready to be gifted! Our pups knew exactly what we were up to so we had to give them a few treats for being such good sports, but I can’t wait for them to receive the rest this holiday!

💕✨IT’S PUPPY DAY!✨💕 🌧 We left this 💕✨IT’S PUPPY DAY!✨💕

🌧 We left this morning to go pick up our puppy and in the rain, in a not-so-nice part of town, our windshield wipers stopped working completely. (See stories) 🙈

🧰 Luckily my hubby was able to get us home safely, fix the problem, and now we’re back on the road!

🐶 CAN’T WAIT TO FINALLY GET OUR GAL!

#ad 💜The day I got my Endometriosis diagnosis w #ad 💜The day I got my Endometriosis diagnosis was also the day I was told that if I wanted kids, I needed to have them ASAP. 

I was 23 years old.

I had just had my first ever laparoscopy after dealing with years and years of unexplained pain with hopes that the doctors would finally be able to solve the puzzle, and would finally be able to figure me out.”

🥵 When I wake up on a bad pain day and already feel defeated it can be hard to make my toes touch the floor. Sometimes my body and mind make me feel like there’s no point - that whatever my day holds will include an intense pain, and I’ll have to deal with it whether I like it or not.

💕 But if I stretch myself just a little, put on a cute sweatsuit and mascara - I begin to build an armor. But instead of this armor keeping me safe from the world, it’s keeping me safe from myself, my illness, and the thought that it controls me.

☁️ It’s like being wrapped in warm, cozy comfort, even though your insides are hurting. And on weeks where I just can’t get a break with my pain, I kick things up a notch and throw on a party dress - preferably something with a little pizzaz. 

✨That’s why I really fell in love with clothing, because I can’t change the inside, I can’t make my illness go away, but I can combat it with my own kind of light. ✨

🧠 He has an amazing memory. If he sees  something once it’s locked in his brain forever. When we drove to Disney World last year, he memorized how we got there & told us the directions in reverse to get home.

💕 Being an #autism momma definitely has its challenging moments, it’s a whole other world, really. But if you enter that world with love and acceptance it’s one of the most beautiful things you’ll ever see.

I’ve been blogging since 2009, and over the years I’ve learned a lot and worked with a lot of brands. I don’t have a massive following, but I still provide for my family 100% doing what I do. 

I want to help others who are out there trying, too. Especially those who are chronically ill like myself, I feel like there are sooo many things I could share that save time / energy that would be helpful.

So guess what? I’m going to share it all with you! I don’t have an agent, I’ve negotiated all contracts myself, and I learned everything I know (this was back before Pinterest or Instagram) from google and books. 

Basically, what I’m saying is - if I can do this, you can too. So let’s do it together, you in? Who wants to up their content income in 2021?
