A House and Home promotion
Potty about pooches or crazy about cats? Then you’ll know that only the finest things in life are good enough for your four-legged friends. At Homesense, you’ll discover a curated selection of stylish, quality pet essentials that will not only appeal to your pets, but they’ll also look great in your home too.
From beds and feeding bowls to grooming supplies and clothing – not to mention a huge selection of toys – there’s always something to shop for. And, because it’s Homesense, affordable prices are guaranteed. No need to paws for thought… it’s time to go shopping! And we spoke to two of Ireland’s top tastemakers who did just that. Here’s what they bought – and what their pets thought!
Jessica Cunningham with Ruby, Marcy, Gloria and Peggy
Tell us a bit about you? I’m Jessica, the face behind Instagram account @peoniesandpoodles. I’m a full-time nurse and share my home with my husband, my little boy, and our furry friends. They are: Yorkshire terriers Ruby and Marcy; Gloria, a toy poodle; and Peggy the cat.
Which Homesense products were the biggest hit? Ruby, the ultimate squeaky toy enthusiast, loves Homesense’s plush toys, which are both soft and sturdy and priced from just €7.99 (below right). These toys are robust enough to withstand her energy and keep her entertained, while still looking great on our living room floor. Meanwhile, Marcy is all about playtime, and Homesense's selection of balls come in a vibrant range of colours and designs that blend seamlessly with our home's décor. Gloria enjoys her grooming sessions and the Homesense products – from stylish brushes to chic pet shampoo bottles – have a sleek, modern design that complements my grooming station. You can see how much they loved them in my reel here.
What do you love most about the pet range at Homesense? It’s the fact that Homesense’s pet products are stylish enough to suit any interior aesthetic. Whether it's plush pet beds, chic feeding bowls or trendy pet accessories, Homesense has everything you need to pamper your pets without compromising on style. The affordability of the products, often with significant discounts of up to 60% less than the RRP, makes it even easier to maintain a beautiful, cohesive look throughout your home. It's a win-win for pet owners who value both style and quality.
Paul Kinsella with Penny
Tell us a bit about you? I’m Paul and I live with my teacup Yorkshire terrier, Penny, and my husband Mark in Drumcondra, Dublin. You can check out our adventures on my social platform @lifeatno2.
Which Homesense products were the biggest hit? I’m obsessed with the new bowl set I bought from Homesense (below right). The metal accents and minimalistic design make it a stylish addition to our kitchen, plus it was only €22.99 and is dishwasher-safe, which is a bonus. With Penny being a teacup terrier, it’s hard to find toys that aren’t too big for her, so the small tennis balls are great (four for €4.49). Also, the print is a moment! We picked up some new soft toys too – and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and interactive elements. It will keep my princess occupied for hours! Finally, I love the new bed (below left) we got for Penny. It's not just comfortable, it perfectly complements our décor for only €22.99. Check out my reel to see Penny in action with our favourite Homesense finds.
