I am getting some of these in as examples for the shop and again i can only find these in USA. Our supplier of Da bird stockes them and has given us a good deal again on them but i was wondering what you think of them? I would have loved one of these for each of my bridge babes.
Pawprints is simple and easy to assemble: Step-by-step instructions are included * All components necessary for assembly are included with the kit * No mixing of plasters, no baking of clay, no gluing of components and no mess * Impression Material is ready to use right out of the bag and air-dries overnight
Pawprints kits include only the highest quality components: Finished pine wood shadow box frame with glass facing and hanging brackets * Acid-free frame mats and backing boards *Non-Toxic, air-drying impression material
Pawprints keepsakes are designed to make your pet's print a work of art. Every component has been designed to create a keepsake elegant enough to display anywhere in your home: Shadow box design allows the impression to reside beautifully behind glass rather than openly exposed *Pine wood frame with glass facing is carefully finished - no cheap plastics * Frame mats and background boards are matched for perfect presentation .
They come in diff colors and two types , Wall and desk frames.

If its the same stuff you can get for babies hand prints (which i would think it would be) I didnt rate it much as the ones i had never looked anywhere nearly as good as what it did on the picture, it also crumbled very easy a year or two later and i had to chuck em out :tired:
-
:thanks: hun will have to look into the baby ones to see if they are simular material. This is a current pic of a frame that was made in Sept 2005. It's great to get all the feed back what you think of new shop products :Luv:
-
its certainly a lovely idea if the plaster stuff is decent ;)
-
Lynn do ya know if the one you had was by Pearhead like in this amazon page?

I like them, can I ask how much?
I have one with Leo's paw hand prints and I love it.
-
I think they look like a great idea. I would buy one, or two, or three..............you can't do one without the others!
-
i really want one of these!
how much would it be? and like the others have said is it decent stuff? and do i have to chase cats round house to get them to leave their mark?
-
Sorry but I think they`re awful
-
Why awful T. All the feed back is really good to get good or bad :) :Luv:
The baby ones i have seen thst are the same are on sale from £20 to £30. We would sell them at £19.99 - £21.99 each. that woudl include the profit to go into the shop rescue fund.
-
Sorry Tan they are lovely if you like that sort of thing and are lucky enough to have furbabies to call your very own,especially people who start with a kitten; but extra cleaning,something else for the cats to knock over and break,just not my sort of thing. I think a scratching post is more purrsonalised if you get my drift.
I do admit to being an old grump :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
-
No need to be sorry at all hun, the feed back is great honest :Luv: I would rather find out what peeps think now than have an item not selling in the shop :) :)
Yes i see your point hun it's not for the cats but a gift for human slaves if ya like them. But i wondered if peeps would like that sort of thing so putting me feelers out.
There will be a great section just for the cats with toys and sniffy stuff esp for them in the shop as well as photo products & gifts for cat lovers. :)

T would Minimopsical like this?
A Turbo scratcher and a star Chaser. These are interactive toys that they can play with on their own.
You can see the turbo scratcher in action here and the star chaser is the same but has a lighted ball. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPBSAifv6Ao

I can see them appealing to some people. I have to admit, my sister kept sending me framed photos of her kids for xmas :-: which I put in a suitcase in the loft as I hate stuff like that. Eventually I told her the truth :evillaugh: She has a good sense of humour - luckily :evillaugh:
I would be more inclined to keep cat memories. Kylie said I can have her stuffed and use her as a doorstop :evillaugh:
-
Lightweight Gifts for cat lovers would be good as I have to post out several small catty gifts each Christmas and really struggle to find things. The calendars were a Godsend.
-
We have a turbo scratcher Rory and Larry have it at present as Minimopsical lies across it so doesnt send the ball very far :rofl: :rofl: But I would possibly buy another or similar.
-
No, they don't do it for me, TBH Tanni - I wouldn't buy one. I find this sort of thing a trifle tacky and just a tad overpriced.
I know it's hard because you've got to find something for everyone. But I agree with T - lightweight items are more the way to go.
-
no its not the same as i had before tan but i think john lewis sells those type and i must admit the plaster looks more like a good quality plaster of paris type rather than the plaster/clay type i had.
Personally i'd not have one for my cats, however before i had children i probably would have. These days for me anything like that would be of the kids but for many i could see the appeal.
Do you have to buy them in bulk ? perhaps you could advertise them but order to suit demand which means peeps would just have to wait a wee bit longer to get it, that way your not out of pocket.
-
AT that price, I probably wouldn't buy them, and I dont really do ornaments.
-
I personally would not buy one and would hope no one would ever get me one for a present, having said that I am sure many people would be very happy to have such a 'thing'.
-
I like them but then I am a soppy sentamentalist and I love my ornaments, pictures etc etc etc :rofl: I'm a Cancerian you know so it comes with the territory along with the "not wanting to throw anything out" trait :rofl:
-
I did'nt notice the price?
I love scratcher's/trees....i know postage would be heavy though :(
-

I must be an exception then. I hate "dust traps" (ornaments)
And I am always chucking stuff out as I can't see the point of keeping anything unless it has a function. That includes card, letters etc. (+ no point upsetting yourself over past regrets :evillaugh: )
I have allowed myself 2 ornaments but they (I think ) aren't tacky both cats :evillaugh:, one is from a pottery in hungary (I think) and the other is a cast metal cat.
-
Well there's always an exception to every rule Mark :rofl: I wish I was better at throwing things out but I can't see myself ever doing "minimalist living" :rofl:
-
Ummmm what is minimilist living :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
-
Seen it on the telly Gill but never experienced it myself :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
-
I think they are fab !!
I would love one for Leo :Luv:
-
I think it sounds very cold Ann :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
