Inspired By… Easter!

Holidays & Gift Guides Inspired By... 02 Apr

I always loved Easter as a child. Sure it was a event that combined school holidays and chocolate, but I think it was also the magic of the Easter Bunny that sucked me in. So today I’m sharing with you my favourite picks for you and your pooch this Easter. Enjoy!

Clockwise from Top Right:
The squishable Lucy Bunny Dog Toy by Simply Fido. Available at Puppy Tales Shop.
Chocolate is not good for dogs! So snaffle these Maltesers Easter Bunnies up yourself! (And if you want to give your dog a sweet treat at Easter, see our DIY Easter Eggs Recipe)
Fun for every dog with the Martha Stewart range – featuring (L-R) Jumbo Squeaker Bunny, Plush Bunny Intelligence Toy and Bunny-In-Egg Squeak Toy.
Like sitting in a field of Easter Eggs! This plush Fuzzyard Carnival Dog Bed is perfect for snuggling to sleep waiting for the Easter Bunny to visit.
These Follow The Bunny free printables from Love Mae will bring out the inner child or puppy!
This cuddly Desk Bunny will have you dreaming of Easter Holidays. Bonus points for the hidden scissors!
When all else fails this Easter remember Chocolate Is the Answer. Buy your own fabulous print here.

DIY: 5 Minute Valentine

DIY Holidays & Gift Guides 10 Feb

Ever had one of those Valentine’s Day when you’ve completely forgotten to organise anything? Yep, me too. So to save you tears on Feb 14th, here is my favourite quick fix that doesn’t involve flowers from the service station – the 5 MINUTE VALENTINE! To start, grab your favourite four legged friend…

YOU’LL NEED:
1 x sheet Red Cardboard (or Pink!)
1 x Ruler
1 x pencil or white marker
1 x Scissors or paper cutter
1 x Round Cake tin

TO MAKE:
1. Trace two circles using the cake tin to make the top of the heart.
2. Rule two lines to complete heart shape.
3. Cut out heart using scissors or paper cutter.
4. Cut cross in the centre of the heart shape using paper cutter.
5. Slip safely over your dog’s head. Ensure it causes no discomfort to your dog.

HANDY HINTS!
* If you don’t have a cake tin, use a vase or similar circular object. Try to get something close to your dog’s head size.
* When cutting out the heart, try to cut around the straight lines to make a more organic heart shape.
* If you don’t have a paper cutter, gently fold the heart to cut the cross in the centre with scissors.

CREATIVE WAYS TO USE YOUR 5 MINUTE DOGGIE VALENTINE:
* Use your photo to create a personalised E-card, or better yet print out and make your own real card.
* Take a pic of your pooch with your phone and send a surprise Doggie Valentine text!
* Use your doggie valentine as a Maître d’ for your very own Valentine’s Brunch.
