Valentines Ideas for Him – Ballymena

Ballymena has some great local shops who have all that you need for your beloved this Valentines Day. Shopping for men, in Ballymena or otherwise, can sometimes be a nightmare because you never know what they would really want. If you are starting to panic about what to buy your husband, boyfriend or secret crush for Valentines Day then read on and enjoy our helpful local tips. Valentines Ideas for Him – Ballymena 1/ We have yet to meet a man who didn’t love a good pair of shoes. If your man needs a new pair of shoes then head to Good Folk on Ballymoney Street and browse through their shoes. And when you are in have a look through their clothes and jeans to see if anything else takes your fancy. 2/ If your man wouldn’t thank you for an addition to his wardrobe then go for something which will tickle his ears. Head to Track Records and pick out a vinyl that will make his eyes light up. Track Records is located on Hill Street in Ballymena and we suggest having a good browse to find the perfect record for the guy that you love. 3/ Grab him a warm hat and a flask from Outdoor Adventure on Church Street and head for the great outdoors. Wrap up warm and take him on a trip to the...

Dogs Trust relaunch website

The Dogs Trust have been in Ballymena for years. Did you know that as well as calling in with the local Ballymena Dogs Trust rehoming centre at the Teshan Road to view the dogs who need to find a home, you can also look online? Even better news the Dogs Trust website has had a refurbishment making it even easier to navigate. The Dogs Trust website is home to lots of information and dog profiles. All of which have to be catalogued and kept organised. One of the most exciting features of the new website is that it is responsive. This means that it is really easy to read on a computer, laptop and phone as the website ‘responds’ to fit to whatever device the reader is using. You can now search for a dog via breed, size and location. The responsive site is really helpful if you are a dog owner who wants to use the training videos which are available under the ‘Help and Advice’ section under the ‘More’ tab. There you will find videos which range from basic training to help for specific dog problems. Because the site is reactive it means that the videos will be really easy to watch on your smart phone or tablet. All the dog profiles are still online and if you are thinking about giving a home to a dog then...
