One of the many uses for our personalised planters

Here at Dieselfrog HQ we’re rightly proud about the latest addition to our range of fabulous Personalised Gift ideas.  Our range of Personalised Planters & Crates is not only a great personalised gift, they’re totally practical too.  That’s what we think makes them perfect.  Yes, we all want something that looks great and gifts are here to spoil us with the things we wouldn’t normally think of getting ourselves, but add to that the fact that they are practical too, is just the icing on the cake (or crate in this instance!)

So, what can you use them for?  Well, the simple answer is, just about anything, in fact we think they are so versatile, you could literally see them anywhere and everywhere throughout the land, that’s why they would make this Crate Britain!!  Dog beds (not for Great Danes and bigger breeds of course) toy boxes, planters, make up holders, paintbrush holders, window boxes, somewhere to store knick knacks, tools, sewing stuff, you name it the list goes on and on.  If that wasn’t enough, as each one can be personalised with your own choice of names & messages, each one makes a truly unique pressie idea that is guaranteed to make a lasting impression on whoever the lucky recipient is.  Check out which crate you need right here and let’s make Britain crate again !!!!

If your child has enjoyed a memorable day out at the farm I am sure they would absolutely love to receive a personalised children's book called A Day At The Farm. this particular book is a lovely story all bout a child visiting a local farm with his friends and their adventures during their visit. Your child appears as the main character in this fabulous book that he or she is sure to read over and over again. Every child loves to see their own name in a book especially one that they can include their very own friends in too!

So if you would like to make your child's trip to the farm an even better experience why not follow it up with the affordable gift of a hard backed personalised story book all about their Day At The Farm...

You make a list of the essentials. You will need a dog bed, obviously the size will be relevant to the puppy, however the next question is do you get a crate, or cage? A lot of people think crate training is a great idea for the new arrival as it gives the puppy clear boundaries from day one of where it is expected to sleep and go when it learns that familiar command "in your bed"! Crates are a great idea too so that the puppy gets to know that it is a safe place to go and they often symbolise a 'den' to the new pup.  You may also like to buy a new dog bowl for the pup, a personalised dog bowl is a great idea and if you have more than one dog you can make sure your new puppy also gets to know his own bowl and go to it when its feeding time. A fluffy dog blanket is a good idea, puppies love nothing more than snuggling up in their bed or the cheeky ones on the corner of your settee on their very own blanket, it carries their own scent too, this is so important to the new puppy.

So, with your new bed, your crate, your dog bowl and blanket you are nearly there all you need now is the essentials in terms of food, some people feed on porridge and goats milk in the early weeks then move onto dry biscuits. Some people even feed their dogs on a raw diet. It really is a personal choice, but whichever you choose as long as its a healthy choice that is all that matters for the dog.

When DieselDog was a puppy he liked his dog toys, it seems like a lifetime ago now! We hope that any of you who are planning to get a new puppy enjoy its early years and have great fun - puppies do bring so much joy and love into any household!

We love our animals here at Dieselfrog.com and our resident Irish Setter is a massive fan of his personalised dog bowl with his name on, he likes it so much that he even asked us to send his pals Jasper and Lewis a dog bowl too so that they had something stylish to put their food and water in when they were at Crufts this year, they both did well and Jasper even won a Reserve - well done Jasper! I am sure there will be lots of amazing things to do at The London Pet Show this year it is on 11th-12th May, we hope you enjoy it!

So how about making finding a great gift idea that little bit easier and take some of the stress and strain out of shopping with a personalised gift for a girl.

You can create your own by selecting a base colour for the pot then adding the message on the front and back. Not only are they personal, but they’re pretty and practical too in more ways than are first apparent.  Whatever someone may be saving for, a pony, a bike, or just saving for the fun of it, with a Personalised Terramundi Pot they can do it in style.  When the pot is full you can crack open the top to get the money out and then re-use the pot as a pen holder, plant pot etc.

We had a special interest in the Irish Setters this year and were wearing our Setter attire and also had friends who were showing their Setters this year too! We were especially proud of Jasper aka Baibreeze Fred Astaire with his very first win at Crufts with a reserve in the Veterans. Lewis aka Glenlaine McLaren was full of life and really put a show on in the ring he loved it and did his owner Alison Ashley-Turner proud! He was especially happy with his new dog bowl that really looked the part and had his name on too!

If you love dogs and all the joys that dogs bring then Crufts is the place for you! We loved every minute of it and will be certainly going back next year!

The story in question is about Abigail Williams, who at 7 years old has lost her chance of a cure for Batten Disease.  Her Parents, Kevin and Christine had managed to raise £22,500 to help treat the disease.  Having lost the chance for a cure, they did one of the most incredible things.  They actively looked for another child for whom the chance of help hadn't passed in order to give the money raised to that child's so they stood a chance.  A result of this selfless act, Kyle Weaver who has Cerebral Palsy is hoping to be able to walk for the first time ever as he nearly has enough of the £58,000 needed for the 6 week trip to the States for surgery, physio and all the costs associated with it.

If you are still lucky enough to have your mum then this is a special day where you can tell her just how much she means to you. What better way than buying her a little something to make her feel extra loved and special! The standard traditional gift to buy mums on Mother's Day has always been fresh flowers, this is still a great idea, however what about something a little more unusual like a personalised gift? You could buy her something just for her with her name on and a message from you. Terramundi Pots are a great idea as she can re use this money pot long after she has filled it and use it as a planter or storage jar and still see your message and her name on it!

Mums can help us grow, they can fill us with confidence, support and love, they can help you through life's ups and downs. Celebrate your good times and cry with you at the bad times - your mum can often end up being your best friend! If YOUR mum is your best friend or you miss her and live away make sure you send her a little something to make her feel special and brighten her day this Mother's Day - she will appreciate it more than you know!
