Christmas in Kuwait is nothing compared to back home about but at least it’s not as bad as this.
I saw via facebook that Animal Friends League of Kuwait were selling these really cute little pet Christmas gift baskets. So I bought one for Max’s first Christmas.
What’s really convenient is that they deliver to your apartment. You just have to email them and set it up. And they only cost KD10 each. And the money goes towards the running of the shelter and the looking after of furry friends in need. It’s a good cause!
