Winter is a great time to learn a new hobby, start a new DIY project or learn a new skill. Unleash your creativity, perfect your technique and make something meaningful with all sorts of online classes and craft projects from Craftsy.

I took the Craftsy Knitting for Beginners Class a while back and found it helpful and really easy to follow. Love being able to watch the instructional videos as many times as I want and at my own pace and schedule. Much less intimidating than an in-person class, too. I think I’m going to do a couple of their pet photography classes next!

Online classes are accessible from just about any internet-connected device including PC, Smartphones and iPad. In addition to working in all the major browsers, Craftsy apps are also available for both iOS and Android.

Until now, Craftsy has only offered classes for purchase on an individual basis, but we got some exciting news about a new membership that lets you watch all the classes you want! It’s like Netflix, but with unlimited interactive online classes in Photography, Cooking, Knitting, Cake Decorating, Weaving…even a whole course in Cinnamon Rolls from Classic to Contemporary. Pretty much anything you’d like to learn to do, Craftsy offers classes.

While you can still purchase individual a la carte classes if you prefer, the advantage of the unlimited subscription is that you can binge-watch hours of instructional video before deciding which supplies to buy to start a new project, craft or hobby. Is binge-crafting a thing? I think it should be. Anyway, a month of Unlimited costs about the same as buying one class a la carte.

With Valentine’s Day coming up, it’s the perfect time to create some handmade gifts for those close to your heart. Learn to make Cake Pops or create some Handmade Greeting Cards. A Craftsy subscription also makes a GREAT Valentine’s Day gift idea if your special someone is the creative type or wants to be.

Right now you can try a FREE 7-Day Trial of Craftsy Unlimited. If you can imagine it, you can create it with the help of Craftsy’s online instruction.

You’ll get access to thousands of classes and expert video tutorials in more than 16 different crafts, plus 600+ of the world’s leading creative experts, exclusive new videos released weekly, and unlimited access to all of the classes on Craftsy Unlimited. Once you’re an active member, you’ll even receive special member offers on supplies, recipes, patterns, and more!

Super Chewer BarkBox Review December 2017

December 15, 2017
Some posts may contain affiliate links. Read the full disclosure.

Fellow dog lovers, we tried to wait til Christmas morning but we just had to let Daisy open one very special present a little bit early. It’s this month’s BarkBox Super Chewer edition. A gift box of goodies for dogs who chew harder — with heavy duty chews and toys that are made to last. If your dog is a toy destroyer or you’re looking for an alternative to plush dog toys, this box is for you.

BarkBox is the most popular dog subscription box service around, with your choice of 1, 6 or 12-month plans. You specify your dog’s size and whether they have allergies, then the folks over at BarkBox customize each month’s box especially for your lucky pup. Daisy has had a BarkBox membership for several years and we have also given BarkBox as a gift to a few of our favorite dog pals.

Each month, your dog’s Super Chewer BarkBox contains heavy duty chews, all-natural treats, and challenging, strong toys that you can’t find together anywhere else. The extra durable toys are made for world-class toy destroyers like your pup (and mine). Every month’s BarkBox has a different theme and this month the theme is Dogmas in the City, celebrating the howlidays…our favorite time of the year!

If you’re in a super big hurry, jump straight on over to BarkBox and get your dog’s first Super Chewer box now!

 

Super Chewer BarkBox Coupon

Now is the time to try it because there is a special BarkBox deal and you can get 50% OFF your dog’s first Super Chewer BarkBox when you sign up for a 6 or 12 month plan by 1/29.

Still curious? Read on to see what toys and treats were in this month’s BarkBox for Super Chewers along with estimated retail value if you were to purchase each item separately. Keep in mind that items will vary depending on your dog’s size and allergies.

December Super Chewer BarkBox Dog Treats

My Doggy Salmon Treats ($10 retail value) These soft-baked dog cookies are made with wholesome ingredients: rye flour, honey, salmon, palm oil, eggs, parsley. Daisy loves anything with salmon so we are super excited about these dog treats!

Dynamic Chewo Dog Treats ($10 retail value) What’s better than one meat? TWO! These treats have Beef and Chicken listed as the first 2 ingredients. They also include pork broth and beef liver so they are truly a meat lovers dream!

6″ Piggy Twizzies Chew Stick ($3 retail value) This all-natural meat chew stick is grain free, gluten free, soy free, and dairy free. It’s also 100% digestible and made with a single source protein: PORK!

Butcher’s Block Roasted Beef Steak Dog Treat ($4 retail value) This “steak” is actually 100% beef lung from USDA Beef, Born and Raised in the USA. It comes with the warning not to use on carpets, so we are saving this one for later but I know from past experience that lung treats are one of Daisy’s favorites!

December Super Chewer BarkBox Dog Toys

Gnaw Me the Snowman Dog Toy ($16 retail value) We love stuff-able dog toys like this guy. Put some peanut butter and banana inside, freeze it, and it will keep your pup busy and happy. Made in the USA with durable, bouncy rubber. Perfect for a game of fetch, or chewing session.

Benebone Bark Holiday Pretzel ($16 retail value) It’s a BACON infused chew toy shaped like a giant hot pretzel. Designed especially for heavy chewers, the large is good for dogs up to 60lbs.

This box’s items had a total retail value of $59 which makes the subscription price a real bargain when you consider that plans starts as low as $29/month.

Plus, we love that we get toys and treats we wouldn’t find elsewhere. Not only are the toys fun and challenging, but they are also built to last.  And you can’t beat the BarkBox satisfaction guarantee: they will replace any item if it doesn’t hold up to your standards or if your dog doesn’t like it for any reason.

BarkBox Review + Coupon November 2017

November 30, 2017
Some posts may contain affiliate links. Read the full disclosure.

BarkBox is a subscription box for dogs with toys, treats and surprises you can’t find elsewhere. It’s the most popular dog box around and Daisy has been a BarkBox member for several years now. If you’re looking for a great dog gift idea for your own fur kids or any lucky dogs on your holiday shopping list, we suggest a BarkBox!

Each BarkBox is customized for your dog’s size as well as any food allergies, and shipping is free in the US. Every month’s BarkBox has an original theme with 2 cute toys and 3 tasty treats.

Note that this is the Classic BarkBox edition which usually includes plush toys. If your dog is a real toy destroyer then check out the BarkBox Super Chewer edition instead.

Here’s a look at what was in the November Classic BarkBox along with the retail values of each item if purchased separately:

The November BarkBox theme was Pupstate Orchards, celebrating the bounty of the harvest. It included two super cozy and cute dog toys plus some very yummy treats.

November BarkBox Dog Toys

Knitwear Heggie ($14 retail value) This adorable hedgehog dog toy is super plush and squeaky, and he’s dressed for a chilly autumn day, with knit hat and gloves. Don’t let his soft exterior fool you. He’s got a large and loud squeaker and even though he’s a plush toy, he’s tough enough that Daisy hasn’t managed to destroy him yet.

Monsieur Acorn ($14 retail value) This handsome character is like 2 dog toys in one. He’s the fanciest, squeakiest acorn around, and inside is a second bonus toy. It’s still a surprise for Daisy since she hasn’t ripped him apart yet, but trust me, I’ve seen the photos of the toy inside and it’s adorable!

November BarkBox Dog Treats

Yum in the Oven Duck Cranberry Dog Treats ($12 retail value) Made in the USA with rich, meaty duck as the first ingredient. These tasty treats also have cranberries, flaxseed and natural smoke flavor.

Apple Cider Donuts ($8 retail value) Simple ingredients make this a Fall favorite every dog will love: oat flour, molasses, tapioca, flaxseed, apples, cinnamon, natural bacon flavor and vanilla.

Etta Says! Crunchy 7″ Premium Elk Chew ($3 retail value) I’ve mentioned this before, but Daisy loves all the crunchy meat stick varieties from Etta Says! and we’d be happy if we got one in her BarkBox every month! I break them in pieces and dole them out slowly rather than giving her the whole stick at once.

BarkBox Cost and Value

By our calculation, this month’s BarkBox had $51 worth of dog toys and treats if you were to purchase them all separately. That’s a great value when you consider that subscription prices start at $21/month with free US shipping. In addition to saving money, we also love the WOW-factor and excitement of getting a new delivery of surprises each month. It’s a chance to discover new dog treats and toys that we might not have known about otherwise.

Every BarkBox also comes with a complete satisfaction guarantee. If you or your dog are unhappy with a toy or treat, BarkBox will replace it.

BarkBox Coupon

During the holiday shopping period, BarkBox offers different coupons and promotions weekly. Use this link for the current BarkBox deal and to learn more.

The current BarkBox coupon is a FREE extra toy added to each month’s BarkBox when you order a 6 or 12 month subscription for your dog. That’s up to a $140 value and a gift that keeps delivering all year long!

BarkBox Super Chewer Review November 2017

November 29, 2017
Some posts may contain affiliate links. Read the full disclosure.

Dog moms and dads, are you tired of spending money on toys that don’t last and wimpy treats that don’t satisfy? The makers of BarkBox have created a SUPER CHEWER edition of their super popular dog subscription box, made especially for dogs who chew harder and demand a challenge. The Super Chewer BarkBox makes a great holiday gift for dogs, so read on to learn more!

Just like with the Classic BarkBox, the Super Chewer edition is a monthly dog subscription box with toys, treats and goodies for your dog. And, since extreme chewers come in all sizes, the subscription can be customized for your dog’s size in your choice of small, medium or large. Each month, your dog’s Super Chewer BarkBox contains heavy duty chews, all-natural treats, and challenging, strong toys that you can’t find together anywhere else. The extra durable toys are made for world-class toy destroyers like your pup!

Each month’s BarkBox has a different theme and this month the theme was Pupstate Orchards, celebrating the bounty of the harvest. The paper in the box always matches the theme and is filled with fun surprises. This month is extra CUTE because the dog looks just like Daisy!

The Super Chewer BarkBox usually contains 2 dog toys, 2 or 3 treats and a chew, but this month had a bonus because one of the toys came with treat refills included. Read on to see what toys and treats were in this month’s BarkBox for Super Chewers along with estimated retail value if you were to purchase each item separately.

Super Chewer BarkBox Dog Toys

Rumble Berry Pie Dog Toy ($12 retail value) This pie shaped dog toy is fun on its own, but is designed so that you can put kibble or treats in it. Bounce it and the treats fly out, or give it to your dog and let them figure it out for themselves! Made in the USA of 100% tummy-safe rubber.

Bouncy Buddy Bone Treat Toy for Dogs ($12 retail value) Made by PetSafe, this is a combination chew toy and treat puzzle dogs love. It’s got a super-tough and bouncy rubber ball with a durable nylon bone through the middle to add some excitement to playtime. The nylon bones on either side detach, so you can attach the treat rings to the rubber ball.

Treat Ring Refills for Buddy Bone Dog Toy ($10 retail value) A whole bag of bacon flavored, gluten free dog treats that fit perfectly on the Buddy Bone toy. Yummy and long-lasting, just what every dog wants! (These are treats but since they go with the bone toy, I’ve listed them under toys)

Super Chewer BarkBox Dog Treats

Yum in the Oven Duck Cranberry Dog Treats ($12 retail value) Made in the USA with rich, meaty duck as the first ingredient. These tasty treats also have cranberries, flaxseed and natural smoke flavor.

Butcher’s Block 6″ Krunchie Tube ($3 retail value) 100% quality beef treat from Omaha, Nebraska. Lots of Chondroitin and Glucosamine to support bone and joint health in dogs. Daisy just likes them because they taste great!

Etta Says! Crunchy 7″ Premium Elk Chew ($3 retail value) I’ve mentioned this before, but Daisy loves all the crunchy meat stick varieties from Etta Says! and we’d be happy if we got one in her BarkBox every month! I break them in pieces and dole them out slowly rather than giving her the whole stick at once.

This box’s items had a total retail value of $52 which makes the subscription price a real bargain when you consider that plans starts as low as $29/month. Plus, we love that we get toys and treats we wouldn’t find elsewhere. Not only are the toys fun and challenging, but they are also built to last.  And you can’t beat the BarkBox satisfaction guarantee; they will replace any item if it doesn’t hold up to your standards or if your dog doesn’t like it for any reason.
