If you love cats and love tea, then this is the box for you, it is just absolutely superb! For those of you who have not heard of My Purrfect Gift Box before, the idea came from. Kim and Juan Kniveton the founders of My Purrfect Gift Box are dedicated cat lovers, so much so they moved back from the USA to the Isle of Man to set up and run their own idyllic countryside retreat for cats - Boodee Beg Boarding Cattery, something I dream of doing (if I ever win the lottery). With their onsite gift shop not doing as well as they had hoped, Kim and Juan decided to start My Purffect Box and each month they choose to focus on a different cat charity, rescue centre or shelter and highlight the work they do through their social media sites and through information that comes in each box. They then donate 5% of all our profits from that month's box to that chosen charity of the month.
This months theme is tea. September signals the start of Autumn which means the jumpers come out, it is time to get cosy and spend quality time together - with tea! Inside this box is everything you need to create that amazing brew we Brits love and even share a few treat with the cats too!
The first thing you need when making a brew is a mug and the first item from this months box is a 'You're my Cup of Tea' cat face mug which is incredibly cute and can be bought from the online shop for just £11.99, the perfect give got tea loving crazy cat ladies like me.
Whenever you have a stringed tea bag in your cup, a tea bag holder has to be a genius invention because without one, I always end up losing the string into the brew and then spend a while digging it out with a spoon. Let me show you the cutest cat tea bag holders which you can find from MiniHandsCrafts which is another store on Etsy. These lovely Cat Teabag Holders are handsculpted and handpainted and are made using the high-quality polymer clay which is water-resistant. They are priced at £7.85.
You also need tea bags when it comes to making that perfect brew and within the box there are some cute cat shaped tea bags which you can find from LoJim right here on Etsy. I have Saffron flavoured tea which I have never tried before, so I am looking forward to giving it a try. I love that these tea bags are hand sewn and they cost £4.45.
One of my favourite scents is Jasmine and inside this box is a beautifully package wax melt in the shape of a cat paw. These melts are hand made using only natural organic ingredients which help to ensure you get a clean burn. You can find these melts from pawmelts and they retail at £18.50 for a box of 9.
Every good cup of tea needs a biscuit and whether or not you agree with Mary Berry on the issue of dunking, I personally am #TeamDunk, inside this box are two beautifully designed biscuits. Designed by Nila Holden whom you can find on NotOnTheHighStreet there are a few shapes and designs to drool over. In the case of this box we have a beautiful cat and pillow design.
What I love about these boxes is that there are treats for both humans and kitties and for the kitties they do have a real treat inside this box and again all tea related!
First up we have a toy tea bag packed full of catnip from Freak Meowt and it is just brilliant. This pack contains one tea bag which is filled to the brim with premium Canadian catnip no other filling is used in this product and it caused quite a stir (no pun intended) with my boys who react almost instantly to anything with catnip in it.
The second item for my boy comes from PawandGnaw and it is catnip tea. Perhaps an item I was quite excited about because making the cat a cup of tea is as cute as it is weird. Catnip cat tea with dried premium cat nip herbs for cats. You can brew your own catnip solution at home and then use to spray onto toys or scratching posts or even let your kitty drink a little.The herbs used in our Kit-tea are human food grade making them an excellent quality and dust free too. Each tea bag can be used approximately 2/3 times by drying the bag between uses.It will make a mug full of catnip liquid tea each time which can then be stored in a container in the fridge for up to a week.
The final item in this packed box is another set of toys and this time we have handmade catnip sweet toys from Tillypops and inside each pack is a set of three candy shaped toys. Again, filled with catnip, they have proven to be really popular with my three and they have licked, drooled on and thrown them around since getting them.
I have absolutely loved this box, it is just so clever and I am amazing that so many items that are tea related have been found to put this box together. A definite must if you have cat and love tea!
