Website Review: FotoJet & DesignEvo


I have been playing around with the website FotoJet for about a month now and I am amazed at all the things you can do on the site. You can make many cards and invitations, such as Christmas Cards, Baby Shower Announcements, Thank you cards, etc. Here is an example of a Christmas card that my cats and I made (I had to get my cats approval before posting ;) you cat people understand!) 


If that was not enough I also found that on the site you can create collages, edit photos, and even design Facebook and Instagram Posts and also headers that you can use for Youtube, Facebook, Instagram, and more! 

Most of these features are offered free at no charge but they do have advanced features and special designs available for FotoJet Plus members. Visit their Promotion Site to see the offers. Memberships are normally $59.88 for the year but right now (until January 2nd 2018) you can get a membership for $19.99 OR if you simply share a post on your social media you can get the membership for $14.99. You might be thinking a membership is a waste of money, but if you are one who likes to get lots of likes and comments on their social media posts than that might be worth the $15 spent for the year to get amazing features with the Plus membership. Membership includes: All advanced features, 600+ premium templates, 500+ premium resources, priority support services, and an ad free experience. Check out the site and if you love it as much as I do you will see the benefit. 

Below is an example of a pre-made Facebook post on their site. You could use this post, if you like it, or you create your own. I know, for me personally, there have been tons of times where I have searched Google for a meme to fit what I was thinking or feeling in the moment and I could not find one that was fitting. Little did I know there was a site like this where I could CREATE my own! 


Not a fan of that background? There are many you can choose from on the site. There are many free backgrounds available for this particular image, like the background above, but here is an example of a background included with the plus membership. Two clicks of a my mouse and I changed out the background!

The sky is really the limit! You can of course use your own photos but the site has so many options between stock photos, clip art, backgrounds, text options, and more! 


And here is an example of an invitation! 




If you are a blogger or if you are starting up a company they also have another website called, DesignEvo. DesignEvo allows you to make logos. DesignEvo is completely free, no memberships required but they do want you to share on your social media that you used their site! You can also just play around to make logos to put on T-Shirts or anything else you might want to put a logo on. Here is an example of a logo I made: 
I am going to continue to use these sites for my blog and social media posts. Who knew that someone with little creativity, like myself, could easily make attractive posts. I am sure that I will get more likes and comments now that it is so easy to make something so attractive and eye catching! 

Have questions? Let me know below. I did not receive any compensation for this post but did receive a membership upgrade to FotoJet Plus so I could let you know of all the great features.

Review: Maple Holistics Silk 18 Conditioner & FREE SAMPLE



I recently was sent this Silk 18 Conditioner from Maple Holistics. 


My first impression of this conditioner was that I was so in love with the scent! This conditioner smells like Vanilla Cake. The texture of the conditioner was perfect and it was easy to rub into hair and rinse out. My hair was much more smoother and less frizzy than when I used my previous conditioner. Due to the scent and how it made my hair much less frizzy, this is my new favorite conditioner and I will continue to use it.


This conditioner got it's name because it includes 18 Silk Amino Acids. The conditioner claims to make your hair smooth, soft, and shiny no matter your hair type. I can say this worked well on my hair type which is usually thin, frizzy, and straight. This conditioner can be used by both men and women. 

All of their products are made in the USA and they strongly promote cruelty free advocacy. None of their products will ever contain ingredients that are tested on animals. All of their products are free of sulfate and other harmful ingredients. 

Maple Holistics is offering you a FREE SAMPLE of one of their products. They have tons to choose from, even pet shampoo! CLICK HERE TO GO TO THE SAMPLE FORM. Once you fill out the sample form you will get a confirmation email. In the confirmation email it will let you know how to enter a giveaway for a full size product also! 

Right now this Silk 18 Conditioner is on sale on the Maple Holistics website for $8.00 or you can purchase it on Amazon for $9.95. Maple Holistics supports The National Coalition Against Domestic Violence. For every bottle of Silk18 sold they will donated $1 to NCADV.

Influenster Feast VoxBox Review

I recently received a box of goodies complimentary from Influenster to review. Take a look at my unboxing video below to see what I got. Underneath the video is my review on all of the products I received. If you want me to send you an invite so you can sign up and get free products yourself please leave your email in the comments section below.









Great box filled with great items! See reviews below and check past posts for some more detailed reviews. 


1.) Arnott's Tim Tam Biscuits, Original: $3.79  - I have tried these before in the past but I previously tried the Dark Chocolate and these were the original milk chocolate ones. I really liked the milk chocolate taste. The cookies are layered with chocolate, a light biscuit cookie, and then a light layer of a cream inside. I really enjoyed these and would definitely purchase these ones over the Dark Chocolate in the future. 

2.) French's Crispy Jalapenos: $3.99 - These are definitely something different that I would not think to purchase for myself. I liked them on top of tacos. They were the perfect crunch and were actually not too spicy considering they are made with real jalapenos. I am not a very adventurous cook so I probably would not make any other meals with these included but with tacos they add great extra flavor if you are looking to mix it up.

3.) Country Crock Buttery Sticks: $2.99- I can honestly say that this is my new favorite butter. It is hard to match the butter you get in restaurants but this is pretty much that good. Beyond the taste I also liked that these melted well on top of food and were easy to spread. 




4.) Del Monte Fresh Cut Gold Sweet Whole Kernel Corn: $.99- I would not say the taste of this product was any different than other canned vegetables but what I liked about this product was that the can was easy to open. It had a pull tab, so no can opener required. The instructions were to cook it in the microwave and it only took a couple of minutes. Easy Breezy. 



5.) Bigelow Tea: $3.29 - This was probably my least favorite item in the box. The flavors included were Ginger & Peach Herbal Tea and Lemon & Echinacea Herbal Tea. These were not terrible but the taste was a bit to herbal for me. I prefer simple but bold black teas like Lipton or English Breakfast. I would say out of the two my favorite was the Ginger & Peach. 




This was a very interesting box. I have been a member Influenster for about 5 years now and I have never received an all food box. I have received many boxes that were either beauty products or a variety of items. This box was fun to be able to taste new things and have fun with recipes. 



If you have any further questions on any of the products listed above feel free to leave them in the comments section below and I will do my best to answer them. Once again, if you want to sign up for Influenster to get free boxes leave your email below and I will send you an invite.

November 2017 PetGiftBox Cat Review & [COUPON CODE]!!

Please watch my unboxing video and then come back and read this post :)










PetGiftBox is a monthly subscription box for, you guessed it, your pet! They offer a cat box (which is the one I am reviewing) and they also offer a dog box (which has 3 selections based on the size of your dog). The boxes cost $25 per month. You can also purchase a one time box if you would like to send one as a gift. Like other boxes, PetGiftBox does have a rewards program where you can earn points for free products and boxes. Also, every purchase helps feed 10 rescue pets!

Each box contains between 4 and 6 items that are hand picked by the PetGiftBox team. The items in the box can include treats, toys, and other helpful pet supplies.

My cats love getting these boxes! It is a nice treat for them to get some new toys and goodies! 

If you want to get your own box for your pet you can use the coupon code 'codyandkaci' at checkout to get 50% off your first box! To sign up or find out more info visit www.petgiftbox.com








The items in the box:

This months theme: Happy Thanksgiving!



1.) Ellie Baba Designs Turkey Leg Catnip Toy: My cats are absolutely obsessed with this toy. It is well made and easy for them to grab. The catnip scent is pretty strong and they bat this toy around like crazy. $5

2.) Sassycat Freeze Dried Turkey Treats: This is a great item to have in a Thanksgiving box. Two of my cats will eat these treats but do not prefer them over their regular Temptations. Vince will pretty much eat any treats though so he is happy with these. $4.59

3.) Mauve Moose Baguette Toy: My cats like this toy but it is not their first choice out of the box. They do like to kick this though their kicker toys are usually a bit bigger. When they try to kick this one they end up kicking themselves along with the toy. $6


4.) ComfyStyles Crazy Cranberries Felted Ball Toys: These toys are really small so I added them to one of their cardboard box toys that they can reach in the holes and bat them around and they seem to like them in there. When the toys get pulled out I just put them back in. $2.50




5.) Ellie Baba Designs Berry Pie Catnip Toy: I do not know if it is the shape or not but my cats have not really played with or even licked this toy yet. We will see if they start to use it after they get bored of the other toys. $6

6.) SPOT Cat Bernet Cork Teaser Wand: This is the winner of the box! My cats go so crazy when we play with this toy. We played with it so much the jingle bell already fell off so I need to reattach that as they lost a little interest once that fell off. $2.93


Total Value: $27.02 The total value of the box is still over the cost of the box but much lower than past boxes, but keep in mind that most of these products are handmade etsy products and are only sold online so there would be shipping charges that I did not factor into the total value. This was a great box. It was not as big of a hit as last months box but cats are obsessed with most of the toys, especially the Teaser Wand. The etsy toys that were included in last month and this months boxes are well made. 

PetGiftBox supports America's Vet Dogs which is a non-profit organization that provides guide dogs for disabled veterans. These dogs also help PTSD patients at VA Hospitals. It is great to see a company that is helping the community.

Review: Maple Holistics Argan Oil Shampoo & FREE SAMPLE



I recently was sent this Argan Oil Special Formula Shampoo from Maple Holistics. 

I have never used an argan oil shampoo before but have heard a lot of great things about argan oil. The shampoo made my hair feel really soft and smooth and made my hair look shinier and livelier! I also noticed less frizz when using this shampoo. I really enjoyed the scent of this product also. It was a soft vanilla scent and smelled great both in the shower and on my hair for a while afterwards. The shampoo lathered very well which is pretty much a necessity for me. This is my new favorite shampoo and is one of my favorite beauty finds of 2017! 

This argan oil shampoo contains six oils that are effective for hair and scalp health. Some of the benefits for using this shampoo are: preventing hair loss, making hair more manageable, nourishes the hair and scalp, and improving damaged hair. 

All of their products are made in the USA and they strongly promote cruelty free advocacy. None of their products will ever contain ingredients that are tested on animals. If you purchase this shampoo through their website a $1 of each bottle sold will go to The National Coalition against Domestic Violence. 

Maple Holistics is offering you a FREE SAMPLE of one of their products. They have tons to choose from, even pet shampoo! CLICK HERE TO GO TO THE SAMPLE FORM. Once you fill out the sample form you will get a confirmation email. In the confirmation email it will let you know how to enter a giveaway for a full size product also! 

Right now this argan oil shampoo is on sale on the Maple Holistics website for $9.99 or you can purchase it on Amazon for $8.98.

October 2017 PetGiftBox Cat Review & [COUPON CODE]!!

Please watch my unboxing video and then come back and read this post :)

They offer a cat box (which is the one I am reviewing) and they also offer a dog box (which has 3 selections based on the size of your dog). The boxes cost $25 per month.

The items in the box:

This months theme: Trick or Treat


1.) Crochet Kitty Bat Wand Toy: All three of my cats absolutely love this toy. It is a well made handmade etsy cat toy, and it is a fun toy for me to play with my cats with. It is also the perfect length (not too long or too short) to play with. $10 



2.) Halloween Candy Corn Kicker: This toy was made from another etsy shop (Mauve Moose). This is a catnip filled kicker toy. It has feathers on top and the print of the toy is candy corn. My cats are obsessed with this since it is filled with catnip. They are non-stop licking it.  $6


3.) Petest Vibrating Kitty Toy: Unfortunately this toy broke as soon as I pulled on the string to make it vibrate. For this reason we can not really rate it in terms of cat use due to the fact that my cats can not use it. It is very cute though. I could not find a price on this toy so this is just an estimate. $8.99



4.) Ellie Baba Designs Spider Cat Teaser Toy: This toy is also from an etsy shop. My cats are in love with this toy also. They go crazy over the fact that it has legs (made from ribbon) and resembles a real spider. $6.00



5.) Vital Essentials Vital Cat Freeze Dried Ahi Tuna Treats: These treats are on the healthier side (compared to other treats like temptations) so obviously my cats noticed that. They still ate them though. They seemed to like the Tuna taste. I just hope due to the health factor that they will not get bored of them...time will tell. Size of the treats were perfect. $4.43


Total Value: $35.42 Price wise the cost of the products in the box is well over the cost of the box (even if the price of the vibrating toy ended up being less). Value wise the cost of this box is WELL worth it. My cats are obsessed with the wand toy, spider toy, and the kicker. It is a shame they can not use the vibrating toy but I feel like they are very happy with what they received. Treats are always welcomed around here also and with three cats one is typically always bound to enjoy them. The theme of the box was very cute and perfect for October and Halloween. All of the etsy toys are well made and are huge hits.

Review: Maple Holistics Tea Tree Oil Shampoo & FREE SAMPLE



I recently was sent this Tea Tree Special Formula Shampoo from Maple Holistics. 


This Tea Tree shampoo is sulfate free and contains over 98 all natural compounds to promote scalp heath, clear away dead skin, and soothe scalp blemishes. Even though this shampoo is sulfate free it lathers very well. Since the shampoo lathers well you do not need a lot of it but they do recommended a two step process of massaging throughout scalp for a few minutes, rinsing, and then repeating.

Following that process this shampoo made my scalp feel much healthier. My scalp was less oily than it normally is and I noticed less hair loss. The downside is that I felt my hair was more frizzy than when using my previous shampoo. I used the same conditioner with this shampoo as I did with my previous shampoo so that factor was not changed. Since my hair appeared more frizzy when using this shampoo I would recommend using the pairing conditioner so that you can get the benefits of the tea tree in both the shampoo and the conditioner. 

The scent was very very strong in the shower. If you like a mix of lavender and woodsy scents then you will love it! The scent was not very strong on hair after drying so if you are not into the scent you do not need to worry about it lingering after you wash your hair. 

If you suffer from hair loss, itchy scalp, or dandruff than I highly recommend you try out this product (or see what other products Maple Holistics has to offer).  All of their products are made in the USA and and they strongly promote cruelty free advocacy. None of their products will ever contain ingredients that are tested on animals. 

Maple Holistics is offering you a FREE SAMPLE of one of their products. They have tons to choose from, even pet shampoo! CLICK HERE TO GO TO THE SAMPLE FORM. Once you fill out the sample form you will get a confirmation email. In the confirmation email it will let you know how to enter a giveaway for a full size product also! 

Right now this tea tree shampoo is on sale on the Maple Holistics website for $8.95 or you can purchase it on Amazon for $10.45.

Review: TANZKY Men's Leather Belt, Black Ratchet Dress Slide Belt with Automatic Buckle 35mm


I was sent my belt of choice for reviewing purposes. Obviously, this is a Men's belt so I had to recruit my boyfriend to help me with this review. We chose Style 4/Napa Leather belt.


These belts come in 17 different styles you can choose from. They fit up to a 44" waist and you cut them to size. These belts are currently on sale for $19.99 on Amazon with free prime shipping. 

The width of the belt is larger than other belts my boyfriend wears but it is not physically noticeable. The buckle is also larger than what he would normally go for but the abstract design makes it attractive. The belt buckle locks in a non-traditional manner but still felt very secure when wearing. The unlocking of the buckle is cumbersome but he believes it is something he will get to use fairly quickly. The way the belt is put on and taken off prevents the wearer from bending the belt which in turn avoids wrinkles. 




Overall, we would recommend this belt for yourself or to gift. What is great about it is it fits up to a 44" waist and you cut it down to size so for gifting purposes it is perfect since you do not need to know the exact size of the recipient! The belt also comes nicely wrapped up in a nice gifting box. The belt is a very attractive design and seem to be made to avoid wear and tear for longer than other brands!

Review: CAKYE Makeup Cosmetic Bag Pouch Toiletry Travel Kit Organizer



I was sent this portable makeup bag for reviewing purposes. I do not travel much but I am always in need of makeup bags to hold all the makeup I get from all of the subscription boxes that I subscribe to. 

Once opened this makeup bag has a very spacious zipped area. This area fits all of the makeup that I use on a weekly and monthly basis. This area also has a small zipped side area. Behind the main makeup area there is an area that folds out in which you can store makeup brushes, lipsticks, eye liner, etc. 

I chose the black color but as you can see from the photo above the makeup bag comes in six different colors. The material is a quality nylon that is waterproof and wear resistant. I think this makeup bag would be a great gift to give a makeup lover!

Review: Kinzd Money Clip Cork Fabric Leather Wallet



I recently was sent this Money Clip Cork Fabric Leather Wallet from Kinzd. 



This thin money clip wallet has an ID holder on one side and on the other side has 3 credit card slots as well as a money clip. The money clip has a very strong magnet so you do not have to worry about anything falling out. There is also a little pocket in the middle for extra cards or cash. 


The small size and cork fabric may be a personal preference. I personally need a huge wallet to hold my credit cards and store loyalty cards, however this is the perfect size for going out for the night or for going to an event that only requires a couple of cards to be brought. This is also a great option for a dad or grad since they do not usually carry as many cards as us women do!



I have been using this leather wallet for a couple of weeks now and it has not shown any wear and tear and it has been easy to get my cards in and out of it. 

You can purchase this particular item from Kinzd website for $12.99. They have many other options as well for different types of wallets and money clips with different colors, zippers, and a lots of other features. 

Kinzd was founded in 2012 and their goal is to make quality leather wallets sold at a reasonable price. You can check out more information on this product here and make sure to check out Kinzd website to see what other products they have to offer! They also have a giveaway on their website for you to win a wallet!

July 2017 PetGiftBox Review & [COUPON CODE]!!

Please watch my unboxing video and then come back and read this post :)








PetGiftBox is a monthly subscription box for, you guessed it, your pet! They offer a cat box (which is the one I am reviewing) and they also offer a dog box (which has 3 selections based on the size of your dog). The boxes cost $25 per month. You can also purchase a one time box if you would like to send one as a gift. Like other boxes, PetGiftBox does have a rewards program where you can earn points for free products and boxes. Also, every purchase helps feed 10 rescue pets!

Each box contains between 4 and 6 items that are hand picked by the PetGiftBox team. The items in the box can include treats, toys, and other home items.

My cats love getting these boxes! It is a nice treat for them to get some new toys and goodies! 

If you want to get your own box for your pet you can use the coupon code 'codyandkaci' at checkout to get 50% off your first box! To sign up or find out more info visit www.petgiftbox.com








The items in the box:

This months theme: Get the Ball Rolling






1.) Catnip Garden Kitty Sprinkles Catnip Dispensing Toy:The cats like this when they are doing their crazies in the middle of the night. Watch out though, the cat nip sprinkles out of this toy and goes everywhere! So put in in an easy to sweep/vacuum room of the house.  $4.49







2.) Kitty Teeter Feeder: This is a product I definitely wanted the cats to try in order to have them "work" for their meal. Of course it did not go as planned. They will eat the kibble out of it if it is in the center, but will not work to get it out from around the edges. Hopefully one day I can get them interested in this as feeders like these are recommended to control cats weight.  $4.47





3.) Petstages Kitty Chew Wheel: My cats like to chew on this toy. It is a good toy for dental health so I try to get them interested in it as much as possible. $3.99



4.) Spot Lattice Balls: These are colorful plastic balls that make noise. This is the most used item from this box as Luke is obsessed with these balls and plays with them on a daily basis. We love getting ball toys! $1.72



Total Value: $14.67 The box value is a lot less than the cost of the box and much lower value than the box usually is. All of these prices are estimated though and the box probably could be worth a bit more since a lot of the toys were on a current sale. No treats in this months box so if those were included the price would be a little bit higher. Still overall a great box considering that all of the items are actually getting used around here. Plus you have to factor in shipping for these items since these are online prices (prices were not included on the info card this month).

Tree Hut Exfoliating Mud Mask Review


In my Splash Voxbox from Influenster I received the Tree Hut Exfoliating Mud Mask to test out and review. 

I really loved this Exfoliating Mud Mask from Tree Hut. I love Charcoal masks, I feel they do a great job at cleansing pores and pulling out all the junk. This one smelled really nice and it was pretty fast to use- dried in about 10 minutes and easy to wash off with just warm water. Skin felt clean and refreshed after use!

I have heard of the Tree Hut brand before but am not sure if I have tried any of their products in the past. I love that is mask is free from parabans, formaldehyde donors, petroleum, phthalates, sulfates, DEA, and mineral oil. This product is made in the U.S.A! 


You can check out the Tree Hut Exfoliating Mud Mask Product Page for more detailed information about the mask, and take a look around at their other products. The Hydrating Overnight Mask is next on my list to try. 


I received a sample to test from Influenster but all opinions are my own. If you would like to check out what Influenster is about or sign up to receive free products to test out yourself: influenster.com

Influenster Splash VoxBox Review

I recently received a box of goodies complimentary from Influenster to review. Take a look at my unboxing video below to see what I got. Underneath the video is my review on all of the products I received. If you want me to send you an invite so you can sign up and get free products yourself please leave your email in the comments section below.









Great box filled with great items! See reviews below and check past posts for some more detailed reviews. 

1.) Tree Hut's Exfoliating Mud Mask: $14.99 for 2.9oz  - I really loved this Exfoliating Mud Mask from Tree Hut. I love Charcoal masks, I feel they do a great job at cleansing pores and pulling out all the junk. This one smelled really nice and it was pretty fast to use- dried in about 10 minutes and easy to wash off with just warm water. Skin felt clean and refreshed after use! 

2.) Nature's Origin Roll On: $6.99 - I liked the lavender scent and how easy it was to roll on. Sometimes with roll on products the ball does not move easily and it is a pain to apply the amount you want but the ball moved so gracefully with this roll on. I put it on my wrists and it absorbed quickly. The scent did help me relax and stress less but I was hoping to have better quality of sleep since lavender has been known for that but so far I have not seen that while using this product. Still worth using if you like the scent and want to calm down a bit. 

3.) Mike and Ike Sour-Licious Zours: $1.39- I still prefer the regular Mike and Ike to these sour ones but these were still pretty good. They were sort of like sour patch kids where you only taste the sour at the first couple of chews and then after that they are sweet. Overall good flavors but my favorite one was the pink ones! 

4.) Maybelline SuperStay Matte Ink: $9.49 - I really love the color of the "Lover" shade. It is really a beautiful matte color and would go with just about any outfit/event you are going to. It does last on lips a long time, it does not even come off with a paper towel. That is the downfall of the product in my opinion. I love that it really lasts on lips but it was a HUGE pain to get off. The makeup remover wipes removed it a bit but also spread it around so it looks like you have monkey mouth, I had to use soap and water to get it off completely and after the hassle my lips hurt and needed chapstick. LOVE the color, but the staying power is TOO strong for a regular day for me. If I am going to an event then I would absolutely wear this though.  


5.) Not Your Mother's Clean Freak Tapioca Dry Shampoo: $7 for 7oz - This dry shampoo smells so good! I did not even need to use perfume with this. It smelled like some type of brown sugar or baked good. I felt it also did help with volume so if you are looking for a volumizing dry shampoo than this is a good one. 

6.) Sinful Colors #Pride Collection Featuring Era Istefi: $1.99 - I was skeptical at first on how this clear polish with sparkles would look on my nails but it deposited just the right amount of sparkle on my nails. Since it is clear you can not really see where it has chipped off so this could easily last on my nails about a month or so (going on week two right now) before needing to take it off. 




I really enjoyed trying all the products in this box. It was a good mix of makeup and skincare items and was happy to get a candy item. I love when Influenster sends the boxes with a variety of brands to try and complete activities for. 



If you have any further questions on any of the products listed above feel free to leave them in the comments section below and I will do my best to answer them. Once again, if you want to sign up for Influenster to get free boxes leave your email below and I will send you an invite.

They offer a cat box (which is the one I am reviewing) and they also offer a dog box (which has 3 selections based on the size of your dog). The boxes cost $25 per month. You can also purchase a one time box if you would like to send one as a gift. Like other boxes, PetGiftBox does have a rewards program where you can earn points for free products and boxes. Also, every purchase helps feed 10 rescue pets!

Each box contains between 4 and 6 items that are hand picked by the PetGiftBox team. The items in the box can include treats, toys, and other home items.

My cats love getting these boxes! It is a nice treat for them to get some new toys and goodies! 

If you want to get your own box for your pet you can use the coupon code 'codyandkaci' at checkout to get 50% off your first box! To sign up or find out more info visit www.petgiftbox.com







The items in the box:

This months theme: Kitty's London Adventure










1.) Petstages Big Ben Kicker:This type of toy is always a favorite among the cats. They love grabbing and kicking toys like this. $6.99



2.) Petstages Britain Kitten Value Pack: This is a 3 pack of toys and the cats love all of the toys included as 2/3 have cat nip in them. Their favorite one is the toy in shape of a tea bag.  $6.99


3.) Petsport Kitty Freak: Other than messing with the feather they have not played with this toy as much as the others yet, but I enjoy how cute it is since it is a lady bug. $5.88

4.) Petsport Catnip Balls: These are little tennis balls, they are supposed to smell like catnip but all I smell is new tennis ball smell. They are cute but my cats do not seem to want to play with them so we will probably donate these to a shelter as kittens would probably love these! $5.51

5.) Meowtinis Cat Treats: We have received these treats before and the cats really enjoy them. They are soft treats so they are easy to chew. $5.15




Total Value: $30.52 This box had a great assortment of items. My cats enjoyed most of the items and the value is over the cost of the box so this is another great box. My cats actually do get excited when these boxes come, they are all over them and smelling them until we open them!  


PetGiftBox supports America's Vet Dogs which is a non-profit organization that provides guide dogs for disabled veterans. These dogs also help PTSD patients at VA Hospitals. It is great to see a company that is helping the community.
