Defender of the Fatherland Day - that's how it is nowis the name of the holiday we celebrate on February 23. It applies, first of all, to all military personnel and veterans. But in Soviet times, most men were somehow related to military service, so all representatives of the stronger sex, as they say, both old and young, were awarded congratulations. Over time and in the process of the emergence of new young states in the post-Soviet space, the main essence of the holiday faded. However, February 23 is celebrated in our country as before. Although not all of today's young men have experience of serving in the armed forces, they are still defenders, first of all, for us, their women and girls. Therefore, they fully deserve such a holiday in their honor. And if it exists, then congratulations are indispensable. "What can you give a guy on February 23?" - this is the question that worries the minds of young girls. It arises as soon as the last day of January is gone and occupies all thoughts as the holiday approaches. Doubts, hesitations - how familiar it all is. So what to give your loved one on February 23? Of course, the most wonderful, the most amazing, the most desired. We, girls, really try to find something unusual and interesting to once again convince a young man of our own exclusivity. So what to give a guy on February 23? A good gift should not just be an expensive thing and knock him off his feet with exclusivity, but also express your feelings in full and serve as proof that the relationship with this guy has special meaning and significance for you (if this is really the case, of course). It is not an easy task, but let's still try to think about ideas for a possible gift for Men's Day. Since February 23 is a holiday with a military theme, it is good if the thing given on this occasion will at least remotely remind you of this. Do not forget that the attitude of girls and boys to gifts is very different. The hearts of young men are not easily touched by symbolic, even expensive and beautiful, but completely useless things. Of course, they are not devoid of romanticism, but young men experience this feeling mainly when you, their beloved girl, are nearby. And then the useless, in their opinion, thing will go to the far corner of the closet and will be safely forgotten. But is that your goal?
Anti-gifts
So, let's start by making a list of thoseitems and things that should not be taken into account when deciding what to give a guy on February 23. This also applies to other holidays and is especially true for those couples in love whose relationship has not yet become stable.
- Underwear is considered inappropriate in the event that,When you and your young man are in the stage of a candy-bouquet period. A young man may think that either he is too slow, or you are in a hurry with the course of events.
- Deodorants. Such a gift has a certain subtext. Take the risk of offending the guy.
- Tool sets from the "Jack of all trades" seriesmaster». Your man is still too young, and these things are more suitable for a family man. And put yourself in his place if by March 8 you receive a set of pots or plates instead of a romantic greeting. That's it.
- Very expensive gifts. Their price instead of pleasant emotions is quite capable of causing bewilderment, as it will bring in your relationship, so to speak, financial interest, because a man will be in your debt.
- Souvenirs designed to sadly collect dust on the shelves. As mentioned above, gifts that are devoid of practicality will not produce the expected impressions and will be quickly forgotten.
Well, now that the list of gifts has been slightly shortened, you can move on to those that will satisfy your tastes and wallet, and will be able to bring joy and surprise to your beloved man.

And what do the men themselves want?

Present-impression
Puzzled about what to giveGirls often forget about gift certificates for a guy on February 23. No, not those that you can take to a theme store and choose the thing you like. This option is not suitable for strengthening the relationship in a young couple. After all, it is devoid of romanticism and speaks not so much about how to please, but about not making special efforts. We are talking about certificates for an extreme driving lesson, a master class in snowboarding or shooting. Such unusual options for congratulations on February 23 are quite capable of emphasizing the masculinity of a young man both in the eyes of his beloved girl and in his own. But be careful and give such certificates only if your guy really has the makings of an extreme sportsman. After all, the impressions should be positive and vivid, and not remain in memory as an annoying recollection of the experienced fear. If the young man has a calm disposition, and recklessness and risk are repugnant to him, then give him a certificate for SPA procedures for men. A gourmet will certainly appreciate a master class on making sushi or chocolates, a photography enthusiast will be happy to attend a professional photography lesson. Approach the process of choosing a gift-impression, taking into account the character and psychological portrait of your boyfriend. This should be the determining factor. Of course, choosing a gift for a man is a very difficult matter. Especially if your relationship with a young man is at the initial stage of development, when you do not know much about each other. But you should not approach the question of what to give a guy for February 23 as something very difficult. Try to turn the process of choosing into an interesting walk with girlfriends who, like you, are probably puzzled by the same thing. A fun time and the work of the collective mind sometimes bring completely unexpected results. And even if not every one of you will find exactly what will make the congratulations unusual, original and pleasant, but this way you will at least be able to appreciate how great the choice of all kinds of goods for men is today. It is quite possible that a couple of days after such joint targeted shopping, the decision on how to make your congratulations unforgettable and give your beloved boyfriend an ocean of positivity will come to you by itself. Remember, dear girls, the success of any business depends primarily on a positive attitude. Good luck! We advise you to read:
