A Special Gift for Jamie: Blundstone Boots

January 18, 2026 by Diana

This is definitely the way to Jamie’s heart.

When I reached out to Blundstone, I wasn’t really expecting a response. They must receive quite a bit of email, after all, but Anna McDonald responded almost immediately and very enthusiastically. She was so excited to learn that Jamie liked Blundstones (or, for those in the know, Blunnies).

I can attest to the quality of their footwear. I have never had a better pair of vegan boots.

Thank you, Blundstone!

P.S. Don’t you think J.B. should be a shoe model?

    That’s amazing!
    Thx, Blundstone!
    (That’s what I was hoping for when I reached put to King’s Hawaiian, but I guess they didn’t send a lifteime supply. I hope they at least followed through with your coupons and forwarded mine).
    I love seeing Jamie’s gaze, enrapt in those beautiful new boots!

    That is fantastic! Believe it or not, I was just thinking of buying myself a new pair of boots. Blundstone, you’ve got my business for sure! Thank you for giving Jamie a pair of her favorite boots. You have no idea how much this means to her. And let’s face it, Jamie has always been a style maven trendsetter so of course she loves your vegan boots! I did notice the Blundstone box under the tree at Christmas time and it gave me quite a laugh thinking, at that time, that someone purchased the boots for her. Now the gift is all the more wonderful knowing where it came from.

    Thanks, Diana, for sharing this happy story. And I always enjoy seeing a video of Jamie.

    I dont know who looked happier, Jamie or J.B., who must wear the same size as an adult femlale chimp!
    Thank you Blundstone for making Jamie very happy with her prized new boots. You do indeed make fine footwear and Jamie may introduce you to a whole new audience.

    Jamie’s seal of approval is a high honor, indeed! It always delights me how many people go out of their way to make the chimps’ days special. Nothing like a new pair of boots for the boss!

    Yeah, Blunnies, they are Fair Dinckum mate.! ( I like to think I am inthe know, since I have spend a fair amount of time walking on my non vegan Blunnies in Oz).
    And I agree Diana, J.B. should be a model full stop! :rofl:

      Not to detract from J.B. and his supermodel abilities, but I would really love to visit the Blundstone website someday and see Jamie modeling with a boot!

        Yes, that would be the ultimate dream!

    That’s beyond sweet. Poignant. To do this for a very lucky chimp, and to know her pleasure. My heart soars. Thank you to Blundstone and to all who make the lives of these rescued chimps so happy and comfortable.

    What a beautiful and heart warming post and a wowsa video. Both J.B. and Jamie looked very stylish with their vegan boots. I loved the clip of Jamie curling up with her very special footwear; her prized possession. Hats off to Blundstone for their kindness and for lighting up Jamie’s day.
