Puppy in my Pocket Review

amomentwithfranca · 18 May 2016 · 40 Comments

If you have kids, especially girls like me you would probably have heard about the adorable Puppy in my Pocket. They have been a favourite of girls for many years and 2016 will see it return to its collectable best. With more than 100 miniature Puppies to collect, including ultra-rare glitter puppies, these soft flocked characters each has its own name and unique bio based upon realistic dog breeds. How awesome is that?

Puppy in my Pocket FI

My daughter Bella loves animals and she has been asking for a dog lately so what better way to have some fun with these cute little puppies!

We made a video of Bella unboxing it, which you can see below:

Now you can read the full review below 🙂

We were so lucky to receive their whole range. They sent us 4 blind packs from Series 1, a Clip on Pouch and the Puppy Play Park playset.  She was over the moon when she saw it all. I decided to hide it until her birthday so she then she had an extra cool present. She loved it so much that I was so pleased to have saved it until then.

1. Blind Packs (Has a Retail Price of £2.49)

Blind Packs

We both love these blind packs. The surprise factor is the best in my opinion. You never know what puppy will be inside. We got 4 packs so Bella was super lucky to get 4 new puppies to play with. Each pack comes with a leaflet tick list with the information of each puppy within their 4 series. Each puppy has a name and the detail of their breed so you are then able to check what you got and what other ones are left to still collect. The 4 puppies we received were from Series 1. I know now for sure that I will be buying more of these packs so Bella can build the complete collection of puppies with over 100 in the series. She is desperate to find one of the ultra-rare glittery pups! They look awesome – I think I would even like to get one of them, 😉

The puppies are very well made and incredibly detailed which makes it easier to recognise the breed. It’s very high quality compared to many small collectibles on the market. They are soft to touch which makes the experience even more real. These puppies are not just for girls as little boys will also love to collect them too. They are just so cute!

2. Clip On Pouch (Has a Retail Price of £9.99)

Clip On Pouch 3

This was by far Bella’s favourite. The idea of being able to show off her puppies to her friends at school was extremely exciting for her. Each clip comes with a perfect travel pouch making it possible to take it with her wherever she goes. Each pack comes with five puppies and is available in three different colours! We got the blue colour which is a shame as it would have been perfect to get the purple or the pink one.

Inside this pack, you also get another 5 puppies to add to the collection. It is great value for money as you get a lot for the amount. How great is that?

3. Dog Park Playset (Has a Retail Price of 19.99)

Playset 2

Last but not least, we got the Dog Park Playset. After getting all these gorgeous puppies you need a place for them to play so this playset is perfect for that. You get two exclusive Puppies included so you can take Titus the English Mastiff and Jackson the Labradoodle on the tire swing, see-saw and jump them over the hydrant hurdle. You can feed them with a bone (you get 2 little bones so watch for the little ones under 3 years old) using the dispenser that releases treats to the puppies or give them some water from their little bowl.

The Dog Park Playset is great, with lots of colours and activities for the puppies to do, keeping your children entertained for hours. This makes the perfect set for any Puppy in my Pocket Fan!

Bella loved playing with them and we have now heard that there will be a Kitty in My Pocket launched later this year. Bella and I are cat lovers so we can’t wait to check them out too! Just a note that Puppy in my Pocket collection is not suitable for children under the age of 3 years due to small parts which could be a choking hazard.

You can get the blind packs, the Clip on Pouch and the Puppy Play Park playset from Amazon, Toys R Us and Smyths.

Have you heard of Puppy in my Pocket before? What do you think of this collection? Do you like the idea of having collectable puppies? Will you get them for your children to have some fun? Have you had something similar before? Leave a comment below as I would love to read what you think.

Disclaimer: I was sent this playset in exchange for an honest review, however all the opinions are my own. 

Thanks for stopping by,

Love you all ❤️

    After 3 parties for Ellis to go to recently, I now have heard of puppy in my pocket! I will have to look at buying some at any further parties, but wasn’t sure how popular they are. I love that they are soft! Completely new in what is a busy market. They are pretty cute too! Glad Bella had lots of fun! What a fab package to receive! #KCACOLS (I don’t thing I hashtagged my last comment by the way 😉 )

    Cute! Not discovered these yet, but I’m sure we will! I’ve seen those blind packets with a lot of toys lately – I like them as they remind me of the lucky dip bags at fairs when I was a kid – I loved those! #KCACOLS

We spent 55 mins arround gorgeous kittens. I had a great time! I am a cat lover so this was a fab present for me! I will talk more about this experience on another post but if you swipe left you can see a little peak of our time there! 🐈😉.Today, the girls and Nick took me for the actually Mother’s Day celebration 🎉 to @cafejackss in Queen’s Park where we had brunch. It was a yummy treat. Swipe left to check it out! 😋 .After that we went for a walk. There was a small market nearby so it was nice to have a little look around 😍. We then went back home and spent the rest of the day chilling which is something, I’m not going to lie, I love doing! 😉😂.How was your day?#mothersdayuk #mothersdayweekend #mothersday2023 #motherofdaughters #mumoftwo #mumofgirls #mydaughters #lovemydaughters #daughterslove #mummydaughtertime #daughtersarethebest #daughtersrock #spendingtimetogether #happyfamilytime #familytime💕
✨My Girls✨.Due to the strikes we had Sienna ✨My Girls✨.Due to the strikes we had Sienna at home yesterday and today, and Bella only today. I thought it would be very chaotic but despite it always being louder when the girls are at home, especially my youngest one, lol, we did well..Bella did school work at home today and had the afternoon free. Sienna didn’t do school work. We only asked her to carry on doing Spanish and Maths via Duolingo. She also had Spanish lessons this afternoon (every Thursday she has lessons) so both days were manageable thankfully 😍.How was it for you? Did your kids stay at home or did they go to school? .PS: let’s hope things get better for teachers.

✨Happy Weekend✨.How is your weekend going so ✨Happy Weekend✨.How is your weekend going so far? I am finally feeling more normal after the massive jetlag I had after my trip to South America. I am not sure why it hit me so much this time but it has taken me about two solid weeks to properly be back to my routine without feeling right. Waking up in the mornings was the worst. It was very hard, especially when I had to be on time for the school run! 😩.Anyway, everything feels better now! 😊.How long does it take you to be back to normal after a jetlag? Do you have any tricks or tips to speed this process? .📸 Selfy taken in Barranco, a lively district in Peru considered to be one of the most romantic and bohemian places to visit and being the home and working place of many Peruvian artists, musicians, designers, photographers among others 😎.#thisisme #selfie #instaselfie #smilemore #brunettehair #greeneyes #over40#over40blogger #overforty #overfortystyle #over40andfabulous #over40mom #outandabout #barrancolima

It is a very lively where people have fun in the open air..This is one of the best attractions on the coastal road. You will see several parks with sculptures of famous artists that make this walk even more unique and enjoyable. Along the route, you can find numerous recreational activities such as surfing and paragliding..If you keep walking you will arrive at “Larcomar” which is a shopping centre and has many restaurants and cafes so you can enjoy a coffee or a meal with the gorgeous ocean view too. .Pictures explained below:1. Start of my walk with the view of the ocean showing one the most gorgeous restaurants in Lima “La Rosa Nautica” where you can walk along the pier and then seat down for a meal with a sea view. Very scenic 😍2. 📸 Greater view of the coast showing the Pacific Ocean3. 🎥 Parque Chino (Chinese Park)4. 📸 Parque El Libro (The Book Park) showing a colorful sculpture, “Silencio” created by Peruvian artist José Tola.5. 📸 Parque del Amor (Love Park) showing its larger-than-life sculpture of two lovers in a deep embrace called “The Kiss”.

✨Peruvian Suspiro Limeño✨."Suspiro Limeño" ✨Peruvian Suspiro Limeño✨."Suspiro Limeño" is one of my favourite Peruvian desserts. When I was In Peru, I of course, made sure to have it not only once but several times 😉.This dessert is made of manjar blanco (milk, sugar, almond flour, egg yolks, vanilla) and meringue (egg whites, port, cinnamon) 😘.The history behind this dessert starts with Amparo Ayarza who was the creator. Her husband, José Gálvez Barrenechea was a poet and was the one who gave it its name. The poet called it "Suspiro de Limeña", which means, 'Sigh of a Lima lady', because it is soft and sweet like the sigh of a woman. Love this 🥰.Have you ever tried "Suspiro Limeño"? Or have you heard of it before? Would you try it? .📸 Picture taken @panchitasazoncriolla in Lima that has one of the best versions of this dessert 🙌🏻.#suspirolimeño #peruviandessert #meringue #merengue #desserttime #dessertlover #dessertpic #dessertgram #peruvianfood #cocinaperuana #gastronomiaperuana #perufood #peruviancousine #whatisfordessert #dessertsofinstagram
✨Eating in Peru✨.One of the things that I lo ✨Eating in Peru✨.One of the things that I love the most about Peru besides family and friends of course, is the food! Peruvian food is one of the best in the world! It really is! And eating in Peru is a must! Trying any dish even if it is not neccesary a peruvian dish, it is cooked in such a way that the taste is just incredible! 😋 .While I was there for a couple of weeks I really made sure to try my favourite dishes again as well as new dishes and visiting classic restaurants as well as new restaurants and cafes that have opened in the last 5 years that I haven’t been able to visit. .If you go to Peru and stop in Lima, I really recommend you to visit @elmercadorestaurante, @cafedelima, @bottega_dasso, @panchitasazoncriolla, @eltiomario_restaurant, @lacaffettedilonato, @churreriamanolope, @franklinrestaurante, @lalamiraflores, @osakanikkei, @elpandelachola, @mattoniperu, @laterrazadelpardo, @cafevictoria_barranco among others! We have a really good list of restaurants and cafes that are worth a try. Peru is one of the best culinary destinations in the world 😋 .I also went to #limamarinaclub for dinner and the food together with the sea view was such an amazing atmosphere. This is a members club but I had to mention it because I really enjoyed this place ☺️.Have you tried Peruvian Food or eating in Peru? .#peruvianfood #cocinaperuana #peruvianrestaurant #gastronomiaperuana #perufood #peruviancousine #peruvian #limaperu #limafood #loveeating #foodiegram #food #over40 #over40blogger #overforty
