Each of us, when choosing a gift for a loved onefor a person's birthday, February 14, New Year or any other holiday, tries his best to buy something original, useful, which will be remembered for many years. Of course, modern stores offer a wide range of goods at different prices, that is, there is something to stop your eyes on. But you must admit, it is very difficult to decide on a present when you have known a person for many years, if you have celebrated so many significant events that it would seem that you have already given him everything that could be. But our imagination is limitless, so do not give up ahead of time! Let's work together to decide what can and should be presented to loved ones, be it a close friend, child, husband or boyfriend.

Gift for man: classic mistakes

Every woman is always confident that she is right.After all, only they, the fair sex, know what style and color of clothes suit men best, what accessories should be bought for a particular suit, what kind of eau de toilette should a loved one use. Girls consider themselves more knowledgeable and qualified in matters of choosing gifts for friends, colleagues, husbands and lovers. Therefore, going to the store, they boldly give preference to this or that item (a handbag, a wallet, a tie, perfume, and so on), firmly believing that the person it is intended for will be absolutely delighted. Of course, the recipient always smiles, thanks for the attention, but sometimes it happens that in the end the gift turns out to be not so necessary, so it takes the farthest place on the shelf in the closet. So, in order to avoid such incidents, not to throw money down the drain and not to make mistakes, you should remember several important rules:

• Gifts for a loved one should not containno subtext and to be ambiguous. For example, by presenting your man with underwear, cologne or other cosmetics, a monthly subscription to the gym you can get a completely unexpected reaction. If the lover takes them as a hint of his shortcomings (unpleasant odor, excess weight and the like), then surely will be offended.
• Ordinary gifts in the form of everyday things just as frustrating men as women, especially if they are presented on the fourteenth of February.
• Representatives of the strong half of humanity do notso sentimental as girls. They do not feel sincere awe at the sight of a teddy bear, a huge bouquet of flowers, fashionable gloves, so men should not give beautiful, but useless things. However, a present symbolizing a relationship, for example, an original album with your photos, will surely provoke a positive reaction.
• No matter how many such situations are laughed atanecdotes and sayings, but many women continue to make the common mistake of presenting a favorite gift that they would like to receive themselves. Of course, beautiful underwear, worn by you, probably will please a man, but, believe me, it would be much more pleasant for him to get a long-awaited headset or a new mobile phone.

Guys really appreciate attention and recognitioninterests, so these are the categories you should be guided by when choosing a gift. Focus on his tastes and preferences, and not on your personal wishes, and then you will definitely not make a mistake, and the gift will be received by your loved one with a bang.

A gift for a beloved friend and son

As we have already said, the first thing that followsConsider when going to the store for a gift - these are the personal wishes, hobbies and interests of the recipient. Let's look at possible gift options. No one knows more about a man than his mother, so buying a gift for your son will probably not be difficult for you. If the child is still small, all kinds of toys, soft or plastic, will do. Today there is a huge selection of educational board games - this can be a set of "Young Biologist", "Chemist", alphabet or dominoes, lotto. Be sure to look at the product packaging, where the manufacturer indicates what age this product is intended for. Buy a toy that will not lose its relevance for a long time. Modern children are very fond of cartoons, so you can give your baby a set of disks. If your son is a teenager, then he will surely be delighted with a new mobile phone, iPod or other fashionable gadget. For a child who is fond of sports, you should choose a gift that matches his interests: a skateboard, roller skates, a soccer ball, skis, skates or something else. In general, be sure to consider your young man's hobby and, naturally, the amount of money you are willing to spend on a purchase. Most women have a loyal male friend in their lives, for whom they also sometimes have to choose gifts. This person does not expect anything exceptional or special, he perceives you as you are. In this case, the present does not necessarily have to be very expensive. You can opt for a good lighter, a leather wallet, a warm scarf or socks, a funny trinket symbolizing your friendly relationship. But these items are suitable for "ordinary" holidays - Valentine's Day, February 23, and the like. Of course, if you are celebrating a more important event, then you should choose an original and worthwhile thing:

• Buy an expensive frame with the inscription "Best friend" and insert a joint photo into it.
• You can buy a silver or bronze figurine, a watch and make an engraving on them.
• A pleasant surprise will be a banner or a shield with congratulations.
• Some men are fond of their appearance; if your friend is among them, give him a certificate for a trip to the Spa or a subscription to a fitness club.
• For a football fan, the ideal gift will be a ticket for a match of your favorite team or a ball with the signatures of famous football players.
• Always relevant are things like, for example, a set for making alcoholic cocktails, a bar in the form of a globe, a set of unusual glasses with lights and other original items.

The main criteria for a good gift formen are its practicality and usefulness. They willingly accept as gifts accessories for laptops and computers, fishing or hunting, barbecues, car kits and the like. But cologne or beautiful plates are unlikely to delight them. If you are completely at a loss and do not know how to please your beloved friend, buy him a bottle of expensive elite alcohol, if, of course, he drinks it.

Gift for the boyfriend

We have already mentioned several times thatMen love practical gifts that will be useful in their everyday life or on vacation. Therefore, if you suddenly have your eye on a beautiful crystal or porcelain vase that will perfectly complement the interior of your shared apartment, drive these thoughts away. Otherwise, you will find yourself in a not very pleasant position - the money is spent, and your boyfriend is not delighted. However, a gift such as a spinning rod or a special bag-box for fishing equipment, the latest model fishing rod, a set of tools for the car, a backpack for hiking in the mountains will certainly appeal to your young man. For men, the exquisite and attractive appearance of the gift is not the most important thing, they appreciate its usefulness. Perhaps you will say that the above-mentioned things are too ordinary and do not deserve the honor of being considered gifts. Yes and no. The thing is that your boyfriend can buy similar things he needs himself, but such a gift from his beloved will show that she takes into account his interests and knows about them, understands his passions and hobbies. Therefore, such a gift to your loved one is a kind of symbol of your respect and affection for him. Every guy is interested in technology and appreciates its functionality, so the ideal gift would be something from the latest innovations: a mobile phone, PDA, video player, netbook, camera, webcam, fancy headphones and the like. You can ask the young man about what he does not like about the computer or what is missing and, based on his words, choose, for example, speakers, a mouse or a video card. Every man is an avid car lover, so a USB device, a special car hanger, a steering wheel or seat cover, trendy rugs, a vacuum cleaner, a car beacon, a small TV or a mini-fridge will be a practical and useful gift for him. Girls are not very strong in this area, so before choosing this or that item, be sure to consult with your husband's friends. They will probably tell you what he needs, advise on the quality of the goods, help him decide on the brand and manufacturer. Naturally, such things are quite expensive, so either start saving up the necessary amount in advance, or choose another gift. Most guys love sports, so you can buy special training equipment, a T-shirt with the autograph of a famous football or basketball player, tickets to a match, and so on. The main thing is to know about your boyfriend's hobbies and choose a present based on his preferences.

Tips for the last: original gifts

Of course, a newfangled PDA, phone orA GPS navigator is a great gift that your man will definitely like. But if you want to completely knock him out, use your imagination and take note of one of the ideas below. So, it is not at all necessary to give a practical and useful thing, you can get by with another, more original solution. If your boyfriend leads an active lifestyle and is delighted by extreme sports, give him a parachute jump as a gift - the main thing is that he is not afraid of heights. You can organize a romantic horseback ride, invite friends to paintball or a football match. A great gift for any man would be extreme driving lessons, a hang gliding flight, a master class in sushi or pair dancing that you paid for. Just sit down and think about how to surprise your boyfriend, because every person, no matter how old he is, remains a child at heart who loves fun. For a sociable guy, you can organize a big party with friends. If you want to spend the evening in elegant suits and fancy dresses, book a restaurant. Today it has become fashionable to celebrate holidays in a water park, because it is very fun and warm, especially since in winter it is so nice to plunge into the atmosphere of sunny summer. Make a guest list in advance, decide on the date of the future event and notify everyone about it, check the prices, make a menu, buy balloons. By the way, do not forget that you can organize a theme or costume party. Think about it! Finally, we will “throw” you another original idea - a joint trip to cultural attractions or a resort. Such an event will cost a pretty penny, but if you have such an opportunity, then do not skimp on your man. To summarize, we can say that a gift to a loved one is such an individual thing that it is simply impossible to give any guarantees that he will definitely like this or that present. After all, everyone has their own hobbies, desires and needs. Who else but you knows what your friend, husband or boyfriend likes, what makes him or her so excited? Therefore, when thinking about a purchase, firstly, decide on the amount you are willing to spend on it, secondly, focus on the age, character and hobbies of your loved one, and then you will definitely not be mistaken.
