Quirky Dinosaurs!!!!!
I may earn a little commission from some of the links (if any) mentioned in this post at no extra cost to you.
Dinosaurs are big business in our house, they’ve been a part of our life for as long as we’ve had our little boy (now six years old!). From babygrows to toys to bedding, dinosaurs have featured heavily. His favourite place in the whole wide world is Dinosaur Park, Tenby. A great family day out if you’re in the area!! So when I asked him to suggest my next quirky topic, I shouldn’t have been surprised that he wanted me to explore quirky dinosaurs! And he didn’t want just children’s bedroom dinosaurs featured, he wanted all things dinosaurs, an idea backed by my followers on my Facebook page 🙂
There is an abundance of dinosaurs in all shapes and sizes online, trying to pick the creme de la creme of quirky dinosaurs is not an easy task, I want to showcase them all, but I’d be here for years!!
Dinosaurs are even finding their way into our decor. People are starting to embrace quirky in their homes, and I often find that giving a plant or cactus as a gift, is soooo much better served (??) or given in a quirky pot, might as well go for a funky dinosaur! The colours on these are pretty neutral, making them a great option as they’ll fit the calm, plain styles as well as a more whimsical style of decor.
Love this ring, it says ‘I’m feisty, I’m fierce, but I’m also delicate and beautiful’ 😉 Quirky design has really moved forward over the last few years, I used to find animal shaped rings etc when I was a little girl, but they were usually cheapy plastic things, this is quality, detailed and I think it’s gorgeous.
Oh such a beautiful clock, the adorable diplodocus again, shaped with such elegance and poise, it screams, not just for children! I do have a soft spot for wooden shaped clocks, I already have a deer and a bird, they look so quirky and classy. I think this would be a good one for the munchkin’s room though, it would be good to help him learn how to tell the time!
These mugs are gorgeous, the colours, the designs, spot on! I can imagine them hot chocolate and the works in them! I love the speckled detailing, gives them a special little look, in a sea of mugs, these do stand out. I really like their faces too, they look kind.
Do people use hip flasks these days? If so, this is a gorgeous one! It’s crying out to be filled with a delicate Summer beverage as opposed to a hardcore liquor! I suppose you could carry water in it and just pretend 😉 A sweet little gift for a dino fan, kawaii are always cute and quirky so I’m always going to be drawn to this style of design.
This next one is an instant download, a papercut pattern for you to create this yourself. Are you brave enough to give it a go? There are some talented people out there who can do this sort of thing. I doubt I’d have enough patience for such a delicate task, but if you are crafty and patient, it could make a nice little project.
This is a random find, never thought I’d be showing you a trailer hitch thing but it is a t-rex, how could I not??! Fab design, the teeth are amazing, if I had a trailer, and I could get a dinosaur to attach it, I 100% would!
This dress is beeeeeautiful. I like it a lot. The colour is so pretty, and the dinosaur design is a very grown up one, they’re sophisticated. Do I dare wear a dino dress to my sister’s Summer wedding? I could be tempted 😉
This does look like a festive picture, but there’s nothing Christmassy about this design. It’s a dinosaur in the style of a tattoo on a hoodie, how cool is that? I like this colour combo, there are other colours to choose from too. I would wear this, I like it!
I got drawn to this straight away, there’s something about bright, funky colours on a dark background that always grabs my attention. The dinosaurs themselves look so good, it’s a great design, and rompers are fab for little ones, it means they can keep wearing them even when their little legs keep growing!
Dinosaur that hold wine eeeek! These are awesome!!
These sunglasses are for truly kooky people who can get away wearing such flamboyance. Not only dinosaurs. but skeleton ones, that’s got to appeal to some! I do like the colours!
This is truly adorable and looks so comfortable. I think this would make a cute little nest for the little ones (or big ones!) to nestle in and snuggle up to, comfy shape!
Oh hello tasty cookie! Could you eat this? Looks a good size, and so much detail.
What’s better than a dinosaur necklace?? A SPARKLY one! I love these, they would add a quirky snazz to any outfit!
Oooh a dino walking stick…how unusual. Perfect for those long walks around Jurassic Park perhaps!
Ooooh dinosaur paperclips, these will bring a touch of fun and playfulness to the dullest of reports and papers 😉 I do love quirky stationery!
What a cool holder, I’m always looking for somewhere to hang the munchkin’s backpack, this is a funky solution!
These are funky cookie jars, not necessarily just for cookies, good little storage jars for whatever! I think a fun one for a child’s room to be honest!
Dinosaurs may be extinct, but they are slowly taking over the world again! I honestly think that, as much as unicorns have become very much a design theme admired by so many people, I’m tipping dinosaurs as the next big trend.
