If a friend or colleague invites you to the Daybirthday, naturally, the first question on the agenda is what to give. In fact, there are a lot of options, starting from such classics of the genre as an unusual picture, a statuette, money, and ending with a show performance with the invitation of singers and artists. Here everything depends on your imagination and the amount that you are willing to spend on a gift. If the person is not a close friend, of course, it will be quite difficult to choose one or another item, because you do not know either the birthday boy's hobbies or his hobbies. In this case, many choose the easiest way - they give an envelope with money. But what to do if you are going to a friend's or loved one's party? "Well, what to give a man who has everything?" - you will probably ask. We suggest that you think about this question together.
Taboo on gifts
Before you go to the store, decidewith the amount you are ready to allocate for the birthday of your loved one, friend, colleague - in general, the person who invited you. After all, fantasy can be limitless, but you should not spend more than you can afford. You should also take into account the nature of your relationship with the birthday boy: you can give personal gifts to loved ones without fear of offending them, but it is better to give a colleague or boss something more formal, for example, a painting, a wall clock, a business card holder, a pen, etc. Another factor that you need to pay attention to when choosing a gift is the age of the hero of the occasion. An adult man, especially if he has an anniversary, is recommended to give solid status items: a designer decoration for his desk, a tie pin or cufflinks, an original pen stand. Again, how close you are to this person plays a big role. Today, stores sell everything, so there should be no problems with the future purchase. In addition, many companies specializing in organizing holidays can help you prepare an original and memorable gift: a fire show, fireworks, an ice statue. You just need to contact them. Given such a wide choice, it is easy to make a mistake and instead of pleasantly surprising a person on his birthday, get the opposite result. To avoid such incidents, when thinking about a possible gift, follow a few simple rules:
- If the name day of your beloved man, thento give him an expensive elite alcohol is not recommended. An exception can only be made if he is an avid collector. Alcoholic drinks are usually given to colleagues or superiors.
- Naturally, for a birthday person who hasalmost everything, to buy a shaving kit, a sweater, slippers and scarves is not worth it - it's too corny and uninteresting. The gift should be selected, focusing on the interests and interests of men. So, a lover of fishing is sure to be delighted with a new spinning gear, a tackle box, a tent and the like. Smoking person can present a set of expensive cigars or inlaid with Swarovski stones ashtray. Collecting something a man is best to give something that will complement his collection: weapons, an original knife with engraving, a rare coin, a polygraphic edition. All this, of course, depends on the hobby of the originator of the celebration.
- A real muzhik for his birthday can be ordereda musical collective, a clown, a gypsy - some friends of the birthday party think so. However, this is an erroneous opinion, because, firstly, a person may simply not understand such a gift and be offended, and secondly, the guests present at the holiday are likely to be simply shocked. Such surprises are good not only in the exclusively male company, but in the circle of very close friends, when it is certain that your trick will be accepted on "hurray." Otherwise, it is better to refuse such a venture.
- To the category of "forbidden" gifts are alsowomen jumping out of a cake. If you decide in such a way to surprise your faithful by appearing in the midst of a sweet dessert party in one underwear, be prepared that the reaction of a loved one will be mixed. It is unlikely that he will like such a surprise, because most men do not like owners, when strangers look at their girl (especially in such a frank way). Such surprises are more suitable for an intimate atmosphere alone with their chosen one.
It is difficult to surprise a man who has everything, but it is quite possible. The main thing is to approach the choice of a gift wisely and with a bit of imagination, focusing on his tastes, hobbies, age and occupation.
Than to surprise the favorite: we choose a gift
Now you know what mistakes to avoidwhen choosing a birthday present for a close man or colleague. But how to decide and what to present? Representatives of the strong half of humanity are not too sentimental and do not like to share their dreams, so in order for the purchase to be successful and useful for the birthday boy, you need to conduct your own investigation. Naturally, if the holiday is your boyfriend or husband, then there will be no difficulties - you probably know his tastes, desires and hobbies well. Remember, maybe he has been putting off buying a new phone for a long time, dreams of a netbook or an e-book. So why not surprise your faithful? For lovers of sports and an active lifestyle, there is nothing better than extreme sports, so a man with such interests can be given an all-expenses-paid trip on ATVs, rock climbing or extreme driving lessons, a parachute jump. Choosing a gift for a colleague, boss or not very close friend will be a little more difficult. Firstly, you don’t know what he has and what he lacks, and secondly, you don’t have the slightest idea about his desires. Therefore, you will have to act at random. A respectable man who attaches great importance to comfort and style is better off buying image things - this could be an organizer, an expensive pen of a famous brand, a leather wallet or a business card holder. If funds allow, buy an elegant gold tie pin, cufflinks, a neckerchief. Take a closer look at the hero of the occasion, perhaps there is some “zest” in his image that will tell you what you can buy. Of course, not every man will be happy with such gifts, because these are personal things; but those with a bright personality and metrosexuals will most likely accept them with joy. When going to your boss’s anniversary, you can choose a thing that will be useful to him at work or will decorate the office. Classic solutions include unusual paintings, original holders for pens and other stationery items, made in urban, technogenic or national style. Today, there is a huge range of souvenirs for every taste that can be given to the boss on some insignificant date (this is in case you absolutely cannot decide on a gift). If you have a warm relationship with your boss and you know about his hobbies, then give him something that matches his hobby, for example, a good fishing rod, a set of rackets for tennis or table tennis, bicycle accessories, a spacious tent, etc. Keep in mind that the gift must be high-quality, expensive, branded and with a guarantee. Otherwise, it will cause disappointment. You can congratulate a friend on his birthday in different ways - if you have a close relationship, he will be happy with any surprise, so do not be afraid to offend him. Here are some gift options:
- Order a banner with warm words addressed to a friend.
- A man who is sensitive to his appearance, probably will be pleased with the subscription to the spa, fitness club or Thai massage.
- If your friend collects knives, figurines or anything else, buy an item that will become the pride of his collection. You can even engrave, so that the birthday boy will forever remember your gift.
- A sociable person who likes to inviteto your guests, you can give a set for making cocktails, a shaker, "drunk" chess, a set of original glasses with lights or a board game. Thanks to these party items your friend will be even happier.
An original gift for your loved one
If you think your man has everything,you are probably wrong. So don't give up too early, thinking that you won't be able to choose a gift for his birthday. "Turn on" your imagination and start thinking outside the box! So, perhaps your husband has recently started showing interest in studying the lives of samurai warriors, has become interested in tasting elite wines, or has become interested in 1960s cinema. In this case, you have every chance of starting a new hobby for your man. Give him an atlas, a reference book, or an encyclopedia - a book that will open his eyes to his new hobby and expand his knowledge in this area. For an avid collector of stamps, knives, unusual figurines, old editions of books, alcoholic beverages, pipes, or weapons, there is no need to think long about choosing a gift. Everything is clear here - try to find an item that will complement his collection. A fan of intellectual games can be presented with a gift of chess, backgammon, cards or dice in an original design (inlaid with stones, made of rare wood, with an elegant carved pattern). For an art lover, the following things are suitable: an album with the works of famous artists or an autobiography of a genius, discs with cinematic or musical masterpieces, old editions of books. The best gift for a natural sybarite will be elite alcohol, tobacco or a rare type of coffee. You can also buy a hookah, a pipe, a sommelier set or a cigar knife. If your man is a jack of all trades, buy him a special suitcase for storing tools or equipment for gardening, construction and so on. For a guy who is into computer games, give him a new console, a set of discs or super-sophisticated joysticks. A toiletry bag, a travel alarm clock, a good laptop bag, an iPod, a small laptop computer - these are the items that will always come in handy for a business person who often goes on business trips due to his job. Do not forget that men also love surprises. Therefore, if possible, surprise your loved one by paying for a trip to a ski resort or to warm countries. You can go to a sanatorium or spend a couple of days at a recreation center, enjoying nature and each other. Whatever you choose, the best gift will be the one that is presented sincerely and with love. We recommend reading:
