This summer, our friend Susan, who takes care of our cats when we're out of town, had one of the smartest gift ideas I've ever heard of: when she went to dinner at a friend's apartment, she took a gift for their dog. She knew how much they loved their dog, as most pet owners do, so instead of bringing flowers or a bottle of wine like most dinner guests, she brought a dog toy. She even asked their daughter what kinds of toys the dog favored so she could get a good one.
I cannot believe what a brilliant idea this is! Not only did Susan get major points with her hosts, she didn't even have to spend much to do it since presents for pets are so much less expensive than presents for people. I can't wait to use this idea myself (or for someone to bring a fun toy for our kitties). Bravo, Susan!
