    If you've got a friend or family member who loves trying different crafts, and who cares about nature as well, then you'll love hearing about this great kit from Craftiosity.

    They produce amazing craft kits and a lot of them are around the theme of nature.  They cover all different sorts of crafts, actually, but this one particularly caught my eye and I thought it might be of interest.  

    It's a Woven Bird Feeder Craft Kit!  The kit has everything you need to create your bird feeder, including: 

    - Natural Raffia
    - Ball of White Twine
    - Ball of Yellow Twine
    - Plastic Yarn Needle
    - Bag of Mixed Wild Bird Seed

    There are step-by-step photos instructions and if you prefer to learn by watching, there's an online video tutorial as well!

    Make your own Woven Bird Feeder with this craft kit!

    One of the lovely things about this gift is that once you've made your feeder, you can hang it up in the garden and watch the birds tucking in, because it comes with mixed wild bird seed already so you don't have to go off to buy some!  You can watch the birds tucking in - well, they need to find it first and realise it's there - and enjoy a cup of tea.

    They have lots of different sorts of craft kits - you can get a subscription and go on a mini-craft adventure!   And you can also buy them from their online shop.

    Dogs are very important members of the family.   They are always there to meet you with a waggy tail when you come home, they listen to what you're saying without interrupting or passing judgement and they provide cheer and unconditional love.  

    So it's nice to give them a treat - and treats can be very useful tools for training, inside the house or outside it in the open.  

    While we're all tucking in to chocolate goodies over Easter, what can we give our dogs?  Dogs should not eat the chocolate we do - it's dangerous for them.   But the good news is that there are plenty of treats for dogs around, including these from Pooch and Mutt.

    As well as dog food (and cat food), they've got treats for your dog (and cat).  Dog owners can also find supplements, dental sticks and chews, poo bags and accessories.   And they've got Easter treats for dogs too so you can give these to your cherished family members !

    Give your dog some training with these Easter treats!

    They are packed with Lamb, Chicken and vibrant Spirng Greens to restore vital nutrients and support immunity.  And they've got no added artificial flavours, colours, preservatives, grain, cereal, gluten, beef, soy, dairy and GM produce.  They include Probiotics as well, contributing to a healthy gut flora and support hte immune system.

    If you've got an animal lover in your life, and you want to get them a present with an animal theme, you could take a look at giving them an animal encounter or experience.

    And if the choice is too difficult for you but you want to give your loved one a choice, then gift experience company Activity Superstore may have just the thing for you.  Mind you, how on earth you would choose which animal you wanted the experience with, I just don't know!
