Santa Claus is back in the country and December 5 is getting closer! Are you going to celebrate Sinterklaas this year by giving each other surprises? Then it’s time to unleash your creativity! Is the person you are going to make a surprise for a real dog lover? These are the nicest surprises for dog lovers.
A bone
Let’s start with the simpler option. This is fun to do if you have a smaller gift. If the person you are making a surprise for has a dog that loves to chew bones, this is a really fun option. For this you need a made-up toilet roll or kitchen roll, which one you choose depends on how big you want to make the surprise. You can make the ends of the bone with paper mache. Don’t forget to put your gift in the cardboard roll before sealing it with paper mache. Make sure your gift is well protected from the glue of your papier-mâché. Once you have finished the shape of the bone, you can paint it white. As finishing touches, you can write the dog’s name on it or even write their poem on the bone. Would you like to make your surprise a little more elaborate? Then you can also add the offer to a larger surprise.
Copy their dog
If the person the surprise is for has a dog themselves, it is of course fun to recreate it. You can do this using a box or several boxes, paper and toilet rolls. For example, use a box for the body and attach a smaller box to it for the head. Since there are many different dog breeds, there are many directions you can take with this surprise. Don’t forget to give the dog a collar with their name on it. Is someone not a dog person but a cat person? Then you can also perform this surprise for a cat. Work with smaller boxes for a more realistic size.
Doghouse
The ultimate surprise for a dog lover is a nice doghouse with a dog in it. Make the cage from a box and make a hole in it so that the dog can fit into it. You can decorate this very extensively and make it very personal. Put a dog hug in the doghouse to complete the surprise. You can also make the surprise even more extensive by adding more accessories such as the aforementioned bone.
