Looking for that special gift for your favorite Dog Lover? Here's a few inexpensive and thoughtful ideas that are sure to please, whether the "special day" is Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, or a birthday.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • $25 or less
  • Internet
  • Special Dog Lover
  1. Step 1

    Give the gift of reading! Suggested titles include: The Story of Edgar Sawtelle; Marley & Me; the original Lassie Come Home; 101 Dog Tricks: Step by Step Activities to Engage, Challenge, and Bond with Your Dog.

    Consider also healthy recipe books for dog bones & treats -- many of them come with great illustrations, easy instructions and a bone shaped cookie cutter.

    All of these are available online, or can be found at stores including Barnes & Noble or Borders for under $25.

  2. Step 2

    DVDs are another great option. Suggested titles: The Dog Whisperer - Beginning & Intermediate Training; Nature - Dogs that Changed The World; Shaggy Dog; Lady & The Tramp

  3. Step 3

    Create a "Doggie Bag" addressed to both your Dog Lover and their Dog.

    Ideas of Items to include: Healthy Treats for Dogs-make sure the product is made in the USA and relatively "filler free"; a paw print frame; tennis balls or other dog friendly toys; disposable "doggie doo" bags; calendars, magnets, keychains of the dog's breed.

  4. Step 4

    Give the Gift of Life.

    Make a donation to a charity in the name of your dog lover and their dog. There are many deserving charities that need the help in this strained economy: The Humane Society, Paws of Life, local rescue organizations, or any no-kill shelter.
