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!

🚙 We went for a long drive last night and that fresh air felt so good! Never underestimate the power of a good cruise, and picking up a coffee curbside doesn’t hurt either. 😉 

🗓 Days like today where I can really dig in and create content are my favorite! I’m finally feeling less nauseous (still in a lot of pain) but hey, I’ll take what I can get! 🤣 Hope you’re having a lovely day! ☀️

🐰 Easter 2021 🐥 Spent curled up, throwing up 🐰 Easter 2021 🐥 Spent curled up, throwing up, and just trying to make it through the day.

I’m so tired of #endometriosis stealing holidays, joy, and fleeting moments. But I have no choice, it hits me hard and quick, knocking me to the floor. I feel like I can’t stand, can’t see straight, can’t move without throwing up. I get hot, flushed, and then fuzzy. The pain comes in waves and I just lay there and ride them. 

I was off social media all last week because I just haven’t been feeling well. Emotionally, physically, mentally - my illness, depression / anxiety kicked my ass. My headspace got dark, and I just focused on getting out of the fog. If you suffer with depression - you know how hard it is to pull through sometimes. 

🐰✨ If your Easter looked like mine - it doesn’t mean you’re a failure, or a bad parent, or helpless. You’re fighting a freaking battle that few know anything about. There will be other holidays, so please don’t get down on yourself for missing this one.

I love you.
You’re seen.
You’re valued.

💕 I’m sending all of my fellow #chronicillness friends so much love today & everyday. If you’re in pain, comment below - I would love to be there for each other. 💕
