Fashion Foie Gras for Christmas at Heathrow Airport!

Hold onto your hats people, today's a big announcement day in the form of everything holiday. Does it surprise you? I'm Christmas obsessed. It's unhealthy really, but this is my favorite time of year and nothing will wipe this smile off my face. This year is a particularly special one for me and Fashion Foie Gras as I have teamed up with Heathrow Airport to bring you the ultimate in holiday cheer. The FFG goose is coming to a present wrapping desk near you as you fly the friendly skies from Heathrow this year. Oh yeah - the goose has had a bit of a makeover. She's traded in her heels for a Santa hat to celebrate the season and she's waiting for you!

We all know that last minute shopping is hard enough as it is, right? You're in the holiday rush, everything's piling up on you and you're trying to do a thousand things at once. Well, Heathrow has truly become my gifting home. I am always forgetting one thing or another on my way to the USA for Christmas and forever find myself in Heathrow gift stores, like Harrods or Fortnum's, picking up a gift you can only find in London (with that handy tax-free discount). In my last minute rush I rarely have time to even think about the wrapping bit. So, when Heathrow approached me and asked if I'd like to donate FFG's goose for a special project I couldn't think of a better collaboration. Seeing as Heathrow is my second home these days, I would love nothing more than to see my fellow travelers wrapping up their gifts for loved ones in the FFG paper and bags. 

Ok, so here's the official deal. There are Heathrow gift helpers stationed throughout the airport this year - to help you with the tougher ones to buy for and direct you to the right places to sort out your gifting list. After you've found your perfect gift, let the gift wrappers take care of the rest. The service is 100% free for all items purchased in the airport and you actually have four incredible illustrators' designs to choose from. They are all pretty phenomenal, so I won't blame you if you go for a bit of a variety under the Christmas tree. Forget Oxford Street this season, ladies and gents. It's all about Heathrow shopping and the FFG paper is just the cherry on top - if I do say so myself.

"What a girl wants" for Christmas Day 8: A trusted furry friend

The best Christmas present I have ever received was a envelope containing a promise. My father, after years of hearing me beg and plead, had finally succumbed to promising me a puppy of my very own. Don't get me wrong - we've always lived with dogs, but none before had ever been all mine. On Christmas morning I awoke to a greeting card with a very special message inside, "a puppy is waiting for you to claim." This puppy would become one of the greatest loves of my life. As a teenager I can say nothing comes close to this sort of companionship. A mate that's there to snuggle you when your best girlfriends turn on you, a furry friend who licks away your tears from young love's meaningless problems and, more important than anything else, a partner that never talks back to you. This pup loves you no matter what's happening. Of course, this is why I took such pleasure in working with Dogs Trust in 2015. And it's why I am recommending, today, that the best present you can give this Christmas is the gift of a dog. And what could be better than rescuing a puppy from Dogs Trust and giving them a new home to call all their own come Christmas morning. It's a gift for everyone involved. Oh, and I should mention every picture above is taken with a Dogs Trust pup. I wanted to take them all home after visiting the kennel.

So, if you're in the market, please take a moment to look at the hundreds of dogs up for adoption on Dogs Trust website.  Your future family soulmate could be ready and waiting, hoping for a big reveal on Christmas day!
