It took us long enough to get our Secret Paws gifts together! And it is mainly because some things we ordered before Thanksgiving did not arrive until this week! I was kind of sad about that because our Secret Paws partner is outside of the U.S. and this means the box will be arriving late.
On top of that, mistakes were made. My human bought the wrong colored bows to go on the badly-wrapped gifts (seriously, she wraps presents like a 4-year-old), so we wound up skipping the bow part.
Then the first box we tried was clearly too small!
I won’t even get into Binga’s wrapping “help.”
But finally everything got packed, the card got signed and my human dropped it off at the post office on Friday! I hope my Secret Paws partner thinks it is worth the wait!

such very fortunate kitties to be recipients of your generosity Sparkle…and I mean that beyond what you do for cats in Secret Paws…you ROCK girl furriend
Did you manage to get Binga in box too? 😉 LOL Jk we know you love her, Sparkle!
I am sure the lucky kitty who gets it will be thrilled! We ordered our stuff on Nov 30th and it didn’t ship til I think the 18th. I am far from pleased. Cody hasn’t received his yet either, oh well!
Looks like brilliant fun!
Gotta say they SURE look lovely…
It looks fabadoo! Can’t wait to find out who the lucky kitties are!
Oh we bet they are fabulous pressies and that your Secret Paws will love them!
I am sure they will love it. It is always exciting to get gifts.
I bet it’s worth waiting for
XOXO
Sparkle,
Anything from yous would be worth the wait and sometimes the arrival of gifts after Christmas makes it Christmas all over again!
Kisses
Nellie
this is exciting ,xx Speedy
Remember the phrase, “All is calm, all is bright” and think of the huge surprise it will be for the lucky kitties who receive your gift!
Did you manage to stuff Binga in the Box? Now that would be a great present!n For you, we mean.
Ha ha ha–those are great pictures. We think you guys did okay. We kitties are much more laissez-faire about exact dates than the fretful Humans. They all need to chill a little, eh?
Whoa! I didn’t think anybuddy wrapped worse than TW. What a lot of bows. Urm, can I bite on a few of them?
Your human is just extending the holiday season. I do that a lot. 🙄
I bet they will love it. Sometimes the best things are worth waiting for.
The publicist forgot to sign up AGAIN so the Farm cats are not getting a Secret Paws. Someone really needs to whap her
We’re sure your Secret Paws will love their package, Sparkle! We had to improvise this year because stuff we ordered has yet to arrive…so we made the mom go to the store to buy more stuff for our Secret Paws. We wonder if this means we get to keep the stuff that we ordered. How fun!!
Ha Binga follows the Tortie method of helping. This Secret Paws looks like it is going worth the wait it is a pawsomely big box with plenty to play with.
I’m sure they will love it! I’m shocked you didn’t try to stick Binga in that box! Well, maybe you did. (:
MOL about wrapping gifts like a four-year-old. We supervised the head peep wrapping, and she put all the secret paw gifts in a single, decorative box, not realizing they should be separately wrapped. We are anxiously awaiting confirmation from our recipient that they have the gifts, since they were already delivered.
If Binga helped, it’d be worth the wait! Not to mention it’s arrival will be like, Christmas….elevensies! Purrs…
We are sure it’s worth the wait!
Kitties will not mind the wrapping,
just what is inside 😉 heehee
You did good Sparkle in spite of your human 😉
Purrs Georgia and Julie,
Treasure,Tiger and JJ
and Angel Tillie
WOW! Some kitty is going to be very happy ❗
We’re sure that your Secret Paws partner will understand, and that your gifts are worth of waiting for a while ! We are worrying a lot about our Secret Paws too : we sent it on December 7th, and it’s not arrived yet ! Purrs
Wow….lookie at all that fun stuff you have to go in the Secret Paws box for your Paws blogger! I’m SURE they will be most thrilled to get the box from you WHENEVER it arrives. You’re right about how long it takes to ship across the pond though – FOREVER AND EVER sometimes it seems. Anyway, I think you’ll find you scored big when you hear from whoever you’re sending it to!!
Holiday Hugs, Sammy
Mommy was really bad and didn’t take any photos when she was packing up our secret paws’ gifts. You can see what we sent our recipients, however, today at Cat Wisdom 101. We are not being allowed to open our gifts from Silver Meow until Christmas. Looks like you really sent a lot of goodies. Your recipients won’t mind waiting. Mommy wants to know where you found the Hello Kitty wrapping paper. She would buy a case if she knew. Have a great Caturday. Meowy Catmess…MOL, HO, HO,HO! Purrs and hugs, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
That all looks terrific to us and we know that the cats will be extremely happy with all that loot. Christmas snuck up on everyone. Have a great day.
It will certainly be worth the wait for the lucky kitty receiving your gift! We think Binga was a great help!
good job Sparkle! it is a good thing you are there for your human 🙂 we love love Love the Hello Kitty wrapping paper! What with your and Binga’s and Boodie’s help, your Secret Paw will be getting some sniff-tastic pressies 😀
Pip, Smidgen, Minnie, Hollie
SOME KITTY IS GOING TO BE GIDDY WITH PLEASURE!!
HUGS MADI YOUR BFFF
Those presents look great to us! We know your Secret Paw will understand.
What a relief to know that our Meowma is not the only one who “couldn’t wrap a present decently even if my life depended on it”.
Silly humans, it is not how it is wrapped, it is what is inside. Though we do like to play with the wrapping paper, before and after. 😈 😉 😆 Late is not always a bad thing. It is just something more to look forward to.
Purrs and a Merry Christmas,
Jasmine, Joey, Eddie & Rosie
Oh yea, they will love it. Since it will be late it will be like an extra bonus pack!!!
We’re very sure that the recipient(s) will love everything and think it was worth the wait!
As for wrapping, even a 4-year old could do a better job than our human!
Oh, they will love their gifts, we are sure of it.
If its from you, Sparkle, it’s worth the wait! Happy Caturday!
We’re sure they will love their Secret Paw gifts Sparkle.
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
Oh I KNOW they will Sparkle, you guys are just the best and nicest people!
May you all have a lovely festive season!
