From pet GPS tracker to the very best tequila – the final word final minute Christmas present concepts record
Still searching for the perfect Christmas gifts? Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered with a list of crowd-pleasers, including a GPS pet tracker for peace of mind, stylish and affordable Ugg dupes, and more
Santa baby, just slip a pet tracker under the tree, for me. Been a mindful pet mum. Santa baby, and some Ugg dupes and tequila tonight…
If you’re scared to end up on Santa’s bad list because you might come empty handed to your family (be it chosen or not)’s festive gathering, there is still some time for you to redeem yourself. Fortunately, I’m a person with taste that are suitable for everybody – from your slighlty problematic boozy auntie, to your younger Gen-z non-binary cousin : I’ve got you!
So without further ado, here’s a list of Christmas ideas that I think will inspire you:
A GPS pet tracker
Last month, I welcomed Puck into my life, a two-year-old Romanian rescue street dog. As he’s gaining more and more trust in me, we still have a long way to go before Puck views me as his ultimate safety.
A GPS tracker adds an extra security, as Puck has yet to learn his recall. I have already had the unfortunate experience of accidentally dropping his leash, prompted my sweet little boy to turn into an absolute terror, and flee.
Fortunately, I did manage to catch the adorable rascal. Yet, this incredibly stressful incident was a reminder of how quickly things could go wrong.
Puck is now equipped with the PitPat GPS tracker, which tells me where he is at all times. The tiny gadget has handy features, including: daily activity tracking to keep your pooch healthy, and a notification with barking sound when your four-legged friend has reached their daily goal.
Most GPS tracker require a subscription, but this one doesn’t, and it’s currently £169.
Ugg-style boots
Uggs are back in style, and fortunately, there are some incredibly good quality alternatives that don’t have the name brand, but are very affordable. I personally opted for a pair of Classic Platform Snow Boots from Dream Pairs.
These chic platform ankle boots combine functional warmth with modern style. And more than anything, they are so comfortable.
The elevated 1.97-inch EVA platform raises you off damp ground while giving a sleek silhouette. Crafted from suede or suede-leather blends, they feature a cosy faux-fur lining and a lightweight, anti-slip outsole for solid grip outdoors.
You can buy them on Amazon, where mine currently retail for £37.59.
Custom made leather jacket
One thing about me – you can almost always catch me weather a pair of jeans paired with a black leather jacket. So when I learnt that I could elevated my leather jacket game, I jumped on the occasion.
As a result, I chose a custom leather jacket from The Jacket Maker. The model I opted for is the Roslyn Black Hooded Leather Bomber Jacket.
In addition to having the jacket specifically tailored for me, I could also choose its fit. I chose an oversized fit because I enjoy wearing thick jumpers under my leather jackets.
The Jacket Maker has just introduced its first-ever Denim and Men’s Waxed Canvas Jackets as part of The Fall Collection.
Tequilaaaaa
Booze can either ruin a Christmas dinner or potentially save you from being miserable. Either way, tequila is always a good idea, in my humble opinion.
Tequila is my liquor of choice, and with good reason.
Tequila is healthy (to some extent and in moderation!) as it contains agavins, natural sugars from the agave plant that act like fiber, potentially supporting gut health by promoting good bacteria (prebiotic) and having a lower impact on blood sugar than other sweeteners, making 100% agave tequila a potentially healthier choice over other liquors.
I recently tried the HACIEN Lemon & Lime from: HACIEN (£44.95). Along with my friend Mahée, we had it as shots, and also with Sprite zero.
The lemon and lime flavours are incredibly fresh and zesty, making this tequila delicious on its own. So cheers!
I’m sure you’ll love taking shots of this one! (Again, I repeat, in moderation!)
Anyways. Merry Christmas, ya filthy animal, and Happy New Year.
