DIY Christmas Treats ♡ // MissBeautyEmily

Hey everyone ♡

I've decided to take a 24 hour blog break from beauty and look towards some yummy christmas treat ideas for you all to try. I unfortunately won't be making these myself so I shall be finding the most tastiest looking ones for you all and will credit the author so you can make them too!

♡ Disney's Frozen: Sven the Reindeer Pancakes ♡

Such a cute little idea for both young and old, this little treat contains all sorts like pancakes, bacon, hash browns, bananas and chocolate chips. I think this is a perfect idea for a christmas breakfast or even just a random winter morning. If you have little kids coming around then let them take part in making their own little Sven. You can find the recipe here if you're interested.

♡ Strawberry Santas ♡

This is a fun, easy and healthy idea to create by yourself or with others! The general idea is to cut up a strawberry into two, place a dollop of whipped cream onto the body so that you can then place his hat onto the top and then you can use chocolate sprinkles for eyes! Simple right? If you want a better step by step recipe you can check it out here.

♡ Melting Snowman Cookies ♡

Although I feel slightly bad for the melting snowman.. you are going to eat him anyway so why not create these cute little cookies? All you do is make up gingerbread dough for the biscuits, use some royal icing for the top of the cookie and then place a marshmallow on top to act as the snowman melting. You can then add details to everything to make it look more life-like! The full recipe is here and tells you how to make your own dough and icing!

♡ Reindeer Cupcakes ♡

These are actually a lot simpler to make than they look and these would be amazing for a Christmas party! All you need to do is make up regular cupcakes and ice them over with chocolate. You can then use a Nilla Wafer for it's mouth, pretzels for the antlers, white m&m for the eyes (which need a blob of black icing for pupils) and then a brown or red smartie (or other confectionary) for the nose! The full instructions can be found here.

♡ Candy Cane Punch ♡

So you have your treats but how about a festive beverage! This candy cane punch sounds absolutely delicious and all you need is strawberry jelly, lemon-lime soda, peppermint ice cream and some candy canes. You can find out how to make this delicious looking treat here.

♡

I hope you've enjoyed the slight change of scenery on this post and maybe gotten inspired to make some of these yummy looking items. Thank you to all the blogs I got my recipes from, make sure to go check them out!

Pet Gift Guide ♡ // MissBeautyEmily

2015 20:00

Hey everyone ♡

So we've purchased gifts for all our friends and family but what about our pets? We can't forget about them this Christmas so I've come up with some ideas for our little friends (Focusing primarily on dogs and cats, sorry!)

♡ Pillows/Blankets ♡

We all know that our pets spend pretty much all of their time sleeping, so why not pick up some comfy pillows or fluffy blankets. This 'Quiet Time Dog Pillow' is a good buy as it insulates to keep your dog warm during winter and cooler during the summer. It also has a zipped durable cover which can be taken off and washed! There are tons online and in stores made for both dogs and cats.

♡ Catnip Toys ♡

So catnip toys are aimed toward felines (obviously) and I saw these Catnip fortune cookies and had to include them, they are so cute! You get a set of 4 cotton fortune cookies, each with a message and filled with catnip which is bound to entertain your cat(s) for hours! The same seller also makes these Catnip Covered Strawberries, for £10.56 you get a set of 3 fleece strawberries that are once again full of catnip. I personally think these are such an adorable cat toy and if I owned a cat, I would have to buy them!

♡ Comical Dog Toys ♡

On the same site as previously linked I found these comical dog toys which are shaped as a moustache and tongue. The idea of these are to throw them and your dog picks it up by the ball which is attached to the shape so when they come back it looks like they have an actual moustache or giant tongue! I think this is a brilliant invention and fun for both your dog and you!

♡ Silent Pet Tag ♡

This gift could be for both dogs or cats so the choice is up to you! But SiliDog has brought out this invention which is a silicone tag so prevents any jingling which you'd usually get from metal tags. There are four designs: bone, heart, circle and fire hydrant and you can customise them to say whatever you like. This is not only a cute gift but very practical and could be a massive help if god forbid your animal became lost.

♡ Treat Puzzle Toys ♡

I discovered this Toppl Treat Toy which is ideal for both small and big dogs and the two separate sizes can be interlocked to make it even more difficult. You simply place treats inside and your dog has to work to get them out! So not only do they get a nice treat at the end but it stimulates their mind and gets them using their brain.

♡ Cat Playhouse ♡

Back in college a friend of mine actually purchased a cardboard fire engine for her cats and from what I heard and saw from pictures, they loved it! It is made from cardboard and paper so it's super lightweight and easy to move around, it also folds up with is very convenient. They also sell other designs like a tank, a cadillac and a plane so if you're not so keen on the fire engine then there's plenty to choose from.

♡ Dog Lead Hanger ♡

Perhaps this gift isn't the most entertaining for your dog but I do really love this design and it helps to keep leads from getting tangled and draped along the floor. This engraved dog leade hanger reads "Please re-leash me and lets go!" which is adorable and would make any dog owner happy in my opinion. They also do designs with two hooks in case you have quite a few leads to hang up!

♡ Stockings ♡

If you're completely stuck then there's always the classic Christmas stockings pet shops sell for both cats and dogs. Pets At Home sell various kinds of stockings including treat stockings, toy stockings or a mixture and they cater for all sizes and ages of dogs/cats so I would recommend checking out their website or popping in store.

♡

These are my top 8 gifts for your pets which I hope have helped. My mum can never go a Christmas without getting our two dogs some toys and treats as presents and I know we aren't the only family to do this so I thought a pet guide would be extremely helpful for all of you out there looking for some unique gifts!
