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 ❤️

    I loved the original Puppy in my Pocket when I was young. I had a huge collection of them and would play with them for hours. These sets look fantastic, I will be adding them to my daughters Christmas list.

    Wow. Puppy in My Pockets are still being made? I remember them from when I was younger. My daughter isn’t old enough for them yet, but we have a dog and I’m hoping she’s going to become a dog person, then we can buy her something like these. Your daughter is adorable! #KCACOLS

    I vaguely remember these from when my sisters where younger. I think they look really cool and can see why little girls would love them. I think my daughter is too young to appreciate them atm (she’s 2 and a half). But can definitely see her playing with something like this in a couple of years! #KCACOLS

    Oh wow, these look like so much fun! Love how much you can do with them – there’s something about collecting when you’re younger isn’t there? I was obsessed with collecting things and would’ve loved these. Looking forward to when Taylor’s old enough to enjoy these! #KCACOLS xx

    I had these when I was a kid. My mum once made me a puppies in my pocket birthday cake, I loved it! I’d forgotten all about them until I went to a friends house recently and she had some from her childhood for her kids to play with. They were fun…but I think I’d put a limit on numbers if my daughter wanted them! #KCACOLS

    I can’t believe they are remaking these! So exciting! I had a bout 100 of the originals many years ago, and I can see from your fantastic pictures that they have come on a lot since then. I really hope my kids take an interest in these, as it would be great to relive a part of my own childhood. Thanks for sharing and hosting x

    Ella and i have just read this post together and we both really enjoyed it. When it came to watching the video Ella was like “awww they are so cute!!”. I think it’s safe to say she’s a fan, as she has even asked if we can get some. Bella really seems to be enjoying them. Xx #KCACOLS

I love them! They are so tasty and leave me satisfy for hours which means not craving for snacks until lunch time! Win win 😀.I prepare the oats with chia seeds, almond milk, vanilla extract, honey and leave it overnight. In the morning, I serve it with strawberries, blueberries, banana and honey. It is so good! 😋 I vary the fruit that I put in but everything else is the same..What do you like eating for breakfast?.#overnightoats #oatsforbreakfast #easybreakfast #simplebreakfast #togobreakfast #quickbreakfast #breakfastideas #healthybreakfastideas #breakfastinspo #breakfastbowl #breakfastgoals #breakfastlover #oatmealbowl #breakfastclub #oatmealbowl

This way we can all have a productive day 😉, well hopefully! 😬. Have you been affected by the strike today?

✨Happy Friday✨.Did you have a good week? Unf ✨Happy Friday✨.Did you have a good week? Unfortunately, it wasn’t that good for us because the girls have been under the weather. Bella started first with a sore throat and high fever for a few days and then when Bella got better, Sienna started! She got a horrible cough but no temperature. Her cough was that bad that she couldn’t sleep very well for a couple of nights. They are both much better now and back to school.. The weather hasn’t helped either. It has been so cold lately! I literally feel frozen all the time. Thankfully it is looking better atm as the temperatures are starting to rise. I decided to get my flu vaccine, so I hope it protects me from all these viruses that are going around! Have you had the flu vaccine too? .On another note, I went yesterday to a parents meeting about GCSE options for Bella. I can’t believe she needs to think about it already ahead of Year 9. The time really goes fast. Are your kids dealing with GCSEs too?.📸 Sharing this beautiful bouquet of flowers from @freddiesflowers to brighten up our day.#flowerarrangement #flowerdelivery #bouquetofflowers #flowersmakemehappy #loveflowers #flowersoftheday #flowersoftheweek #flowerlover #freshflowers #flowerobsession #bunchofflowers #foreverflowers #flowersofinstagram #homesweethome
