Vikki Jose, 26 loves nothing more than lavishing gifts on her loved ones at Christmas time. But she doesn't splash the cash on her family or boyfriend Jack Cassidy, 26. She prefers to spoil her furry babies - four -year- old Labrador Harvey and two-year-old Bichon Frise, Lola. During the festive season, Vikki showers the adorable pair with over £1,250 worth of presents.
