Let's face it; almost everyone has a few friends who are crazy about their pets. Got a pal who's crazy about her pooch or a friend who can't get enough of felines?. Whenever a special occasion comes along, they're also often the unlucky recipients of dull, silly presents that just don't give justice or show any appreciation for their pet-loving personalities.

When you want to give a gift for a pet lover, forget the dull package of treats or biscuits. I positively think you can do better than that, right? C'mon, people, there are loads of other, more fun and more creative gifts to give! If you really want to give a special present this year, I've got some great ideas for you.

First Aid kits ? We're often prepared for an emergency involving people, but what about our pets? They, too, deserve some care and preparation in case they get into an accident, right? There are lots of first-aid kits for animals online, stocked with veterinarian-approved products and medications. These kits also come with booklets containing information about proper first-aid procedures.

Scrapbooks ? If you've got a friend or family member with a creative eye and a pet lover to boot, then this will be a great gift indeed. Give crafty pet lovers a creative outlet that involves their favorite four-legged friend by giving a complete scrapbooking kit filled with all the materials needed to jumpstart an album.

Donations ? Give a donation to a charity that helps animals, regionally or globally. This should endear you to your pet lover. Local humane societies are always in need of funds and items such as cat litter and bleach to help run their operations smoothly and effectively.

Obedience Training ? Do you know someone who just cannot make his beloved pet sit and stay? Are you lending a constant ear of sympathy to a friend whose pet is forever misbehaving? Do them a favor and give them a ?full scholarship? to obedience school. Courses run about $150 for multiweek sessions. Some schools also offer private lessons as well.

Collar Bling ? The special pet needs a special collar, whether it's a cat or a dog. You can select from the many gorgeous collars available at pet specialty shops in your shopping mall or online, or you could just pick up some collar charms that come in all sorts of shapes, styles, and sizes that work just fine.

Knit for A Pet ? Knitting pattern books can give your needle-wielding friend a plethora of project ideas, from beds, carrying baskets and cases, toys, etc. to create some masterpieces that celebrate the affection and bond between human and pet.

A Day at the Spa ? Nowadays, pets need to de-stress too. And what better way to de-stress than to treat them at a relaxing and comfortable day at the spa? There they can be groomed, cleaned, and relaxed to their hearts? content. Grooming costs $35 and up, depending on the size and fur length of the animal. They can even enjoy luxurious options and similar perks at a few luxury establishments.
