Treat your friend\u2019s pup to a subscription to <a href=\"https:\/\/barkshop.com\/collections\/as-seen-in-barkbox\">Bark Box<\/a>, which comes with a fresh variety of toys and treats each month. For a less expensive version that\u2019s still from the heart, make your own healthy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cesarsway.com\/dog-care\/nutrition\/recipes-for-quick-and-healthy-dog-treats\">dog<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/iheartcats.com\/5-easy-diy-cat-treat-recipes\/\">cat<\/a> treats and include them, with a fun toy or two, in a decorated gift bag.<\/li>\n<li>Crafts \u2013 You can\u2019t go wrong with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ovrs.com\/blog\/diy-pet-toys\/\">DIY pet gift<\/a>, and websites like Pinterest are overflowing with ideas for all skill levels and budgets. <a href=\"https:\/\/decorandthedog.net\/decorandthedog\/2013\/12\/8\/diy-dog-treat-jar-dare-to-diy\">Treat jars<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.personalizationmall.com\/Personalized-Pet-Supplies-d1162.dept\">personalized pet accessories<\/a> are always a hit, as well as unique pet-themed crafts like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.popsugar.com\/smart-living\/DIY-Gifts-Cat-Lovers-36124667#photo-36126400\">this<\/a> stylish cat stamped t-shirt.<\/li>\n<li>Gift certificates \u2013 For the pet owner who has everything, a gift certificate is the way to go. Pre-paying for a useful service, such as a trip to the groomer, behavioral training, or just a gift card for a local pet supply store, is a wonderful way to show you care.<\/li>\n<li>Picture perfect \u2013 Help your favorite pet owner show off his or her adorable pet with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bedbathandbeyond.com\/store\/product\/eccolo-trade-4-inch-x-6-inch-enamel-collar-frame\/1043060955?categoryId=12692\">dog<\/a> or cat picture frame, a gallery style <a href=\"https:\/\/www.artifactuprising.com\/wall-art\">wall print<\/a>, or a one-of-a-kind <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterfly.com\/pet-lovers-gifts\">photo book<\/a> featuring the pet\u2019s picture.<\/li>\n<li>Giving back \u2013 The plight of homeless and neglected animals is important to animal lovers, and making a donation in the recipient\u2019s name to an animal charity, such as OVRS\u2019s own <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tearofmi.org\/\">TEAR Foundation<\/a>, can have a big impact.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Even if you don\u2019t have a pet owner on your holiday gift list this year, local shelters and rescues are always in need of pet food and supplies like blankets, toys, and grooming items.<\/p>\n<p>Did you find a unique or special gift that\u2019s just perfect for the pet owner in your life?
