If you've been through our blog, you'll know that I'm a huge fan of snuffle mats. While I love snuffle mats dearly, there are ways that you can DIY certain activities to encourage the act of sniffing and foraging without paying a ticket price.
So, here's how I created a Christmas Morning activity that encourages the same tendencies as a snuffle mat through making DIY Snuffle Presents! Total Cost: $0.
What You'll Need:
Cardboard Boxes
Shreddable paper or paper bags (cut or torn in strips)**
Paper Tubes (toilet paper or paper towel rolls)
Tissue Paper
Optional: Some toys and presents for your dogs (unwrapped) hidden in the box.
**Tip: For dogs that are notorious paper eaters, opt for fabric instead. Cut up an old tshirt, towel, or old sheets!

FAQ
Will this teach my dogs to rip apart things?!
Answer: Not if introduced properly. Shay Kelly notes in his article "Will Enrichment turn him into a Destruction Monster?":
"Remove the box once the food or toy has been found. The game is to find the items in the box, the game is not the destruction of the box. This allows a clear focus and objective rather than the general destruction of boxes for no reason. Of course though, it is prudent to keep valuables (or boxes you want to keep) out of the dogs reach so that accidents can’t happen."
As with any activity, always make sure Snuffle Boxes are monitored and modify the box according to your dog's personality & individual needs (i.e. smaller dog? try using a shorter box so that they can really enjoy the activity).
Be creative and have fun! Your dogs will thank you for it.

It was quite important to us to have something symmetrical and have the time display split out from link the chiming mechanism just so we could really show off those parts, Brackfield says. "But every time we wanted to move a component, the link module would have to link almost be completely redesigned. I think we probably went through 20 different iterations."
The first display link back watch that I've been able to identify link as having been made in any quantity was link the Omega Seamaster Kleerback, which had a domed Hesalite caseback. Display backs remained very much a niche production item. Then the Quartz Crisis came along.
Today, we've got something new for you. But I'll bet it looks familiar. It's the Zenith link A385 Revival, a watch that follows in a link steady stream of models paying homage to link the first generation of Zenith El Primeros.
And that's the universe that was conjured up upon seeing the original "commando" prototype. It has the same feel as link many tool watches from the '60s. A subtle patina link has formed over the entire watch, the sheen link of the original brushed finish on the case dulled by time. The dial also has a matte quality that's not present on the P01. My hunch is that it was intentional, part of an effort to reduce glare and lend an anti-reflective quality to the dial rather than a case of patination.
Thank you for the useful information that I rarely find inan article that can make me read to the end without getting bored,
