     Dog related gifts from Emma Bridgewater


    It's Intenrational Dogs Day on 26 Auugst  (which originally started as National Dog Day in the USA) and the idea is to raise awareness of the need to rescue dogs from rescue shelters and give them a home.  

    As someone said recently and I can't remember who it was, buy a dog from a breeder and that leaves one in rescue kennels still waiting for a home.  

    So it's a good opportunity to tell you that Emma Bridewater has dog related gifts, including a bags, an extra large caddy, mugs and an insulated bottle,   

    There's a Dog Insulated Bottle Dogs Inuslated Bottle for £25.00

    Dogs Extra Large Rectangular Caddy

    Dogs Extra Large Rectangular Caddy for £12.00
    Store your dog's biscuits in it!  Woof woof!

    Take a look at the other gifts for dogs (and cats) here - there are large and small personalised pet bowls with a couple of different designs (polka dots, pink hearts or blue starts or wallflowers) so you could put your dog's name on one!

    The 22 June is World Camel Day, and as such, a really good chance to raise awareness of work being done to save the critically endangered wild camel and how you can help.

    And if you're looking for a gift for the camel lover in your life, please take a look at the Wild Camel Protection Foundation.

    And these gifts won't just be a gift for your loved one - they will help garden wildlife as well!  Birds, pond life and bees will enjoy them.

    The RSPB Shop also has new pond liner kit from £20.00 - we've just ordered a small one (2m x 2m) and I can't wait to dig the pond out!  The kit comes with a durable liner, recycled fleece underlay and an expert guide to creating the perfect wildlife pond!

    Give the wildlife in your garden a pond - 
    The RSPB has a new pond liner kit, from £20.00 

    A pond is one of the best things you can give wildlife - it will be a source of water for birds and mammals, and attract frogs, toads and newts who are drawn by the insects enjoying life in pond water.  Put your pond in a sunny spot and you may find dragonflies and damselflies visit too in summer!   Find out more about the pond liner kit here.
