What to consider when choosing?
As we can see, choosing a gift is not an easy task. Moreover, there is a huge variety of products on the market today that can confuse anyone. In order not to fall into this trap, you should determine in advance the criteria and characteristics that will become decisive in choosing a surprise.
Of course, that focuses on the personality, character and individual characteristics of the birthday person. In general, there are several common gift selection strategies:
- strategy "Need";
- The principle "I want";
- method of accounting for hobbies and hobbies;
- old dreams;
- dear whims.
The “Need” strategy in choosing gifts involves focusing on the needs of your husband. So, perhaps, in connection with his work, he needs a new or more powerful computer, or he needs a new winter jacket, since the old one has already fallen into disrepair. On the one hand, such a strategy can be considered as a method that is not suitable for choosing a birthday present, since using it is not always possible to create a surprise.
But, on the other hand, it is this strategy that will make it possible to get you not the gift that will gather dust on a shelf or in a closet, but, indeed, a necessary and practical thing.
The principle “I want” is entirely based on the wishes of the birthday man. We all have any desires: for example, someone dreams about a designer bag, and the other about new sneakers. One way or another, but a birthday is the best time to fulfill wishes and create memorable memories.
The basis of the method of accounting for hobbies and hobbies is the principle that in the process of choosing a gift one should start from what brings joy to your man. For example, if he is ready to read books for hours, then buy him a collection of works by his beloved author, and if he likes to go camping, then get a new high-quality and durable backpack.
Another strategy when choosing a presentation is to fulfill old dreams. Often this principle requires a large amount of material investment, but a smile on the face of a loved one is worth it. Each of us in our hearts took a special place for our most cherished dream: for example, look at the Statue of Liberty or have breakfast with croissants and drink a sweet cappuccino in a romantic Parisian cafe.
If you have financial capabilities, then be sure to try to realize your beloved's dream.
Dear whims are those things that we will never buy for ourselves. Often they are not useful and do not carry practical value. Nevertheless, they remain in our consciousness for a long time. Remember, perhaps your husband mentioned such gizmos. These include collection models of cars, expensive cigars, and so on. Such a gift will be very unexpected, but at the same time quite romantic.
In addition to the strategies described above, it is important to rely on your budget. You should not spend all your savings on one gift.
Perhaps you, as a family, accumulate money to buy your own home or dream of a chic honeymoon. Think about what is more important for you at this time. If there is no extra money, then it is not necessary to give expensive things. The husband will appreciate even a simple souvenir presented with love.
In addition, it is important to consider the time it takes to produce or deliver a gift. So, if you plan to order any thing on the Internet, then this should be done as soon as possible, so that the gift has definitely reached.
What is the best way to pack?
When a gift is selected and purchased, the last one remains, but no less important stage is its packaging. Of course, this stage can be entrusted to specialists, because now there are many services offering similar services. However, if you want the gift to be as individual and exclusive as possible, then you should do it yourself. Moreover, it is worth noting that gift wrapping is not a very difficult task, and if you make a small amount of effort and also show a little patience, then almost anyone can cope with it.
So, for starters, you should decide on the very basis for packaging. It can be a box, basket or holiday package.
If the gift you bought already has a factory packaging box, then you should leave it, and you need to put additional decorations on top of it.
The easiest option is to purchase a special gift package. These are sold in almost every supermarket, flower shop or gift shop. Put your present in it and add a small card with warm wishes to your beloved. Pretty simple and sweet, but tasteful.
A more complex option, which will require a manifestation of creative abilities, implies Use as packing box. You can buy a ready-made holiday, but you can do it yourself. To do this, you will need a base, as well as printed paper. Using a ruler, measure the right amount of paper, cut it, and then stick it on the box.
Do not forget to add a few decorative touches from above: ribbons, bows. This packaging option will look more festive.
If you give a small gift in size (for example, a certificate or tickets), then you can pack it in several boxes of various sizes and create the so-called "nested doll". Thus, during unpacking, intrigue will increase, and interest will increase.
In addition, do not forget about the procedure for presenting a gift. Try to make it as festive and solemn as possible. To do this, you can pre-prepare a speech or learn a small verse. One way or another, your words must be sincere and come from a pure heart.
If you are planning a noisy party, then give your husband a surprise.
Ask all the guests to hide and turn off the lights, and when your loved one enters the room and turns on, you all will joyfully shout in unison: “Surprise”.
If, on the contrary, you want to celebrate together, prepare a romantic dinner, light candles and turn on unobtrusive music. This option is especially suitable for romantic holidays: for example, Valentine's Day or a wedding anniversary.
Another option involves the creation of a quest, during which your husband, completing assignments, must find a gift. Another original idea is to hide the gift in an unexpected place, for example, under a pillow (relevant for New Year or Valentine's Day). And to create a romantic mood, hide a valentine in his work portfolio - the husband will find it only in the workplace and will experience warm feelings.
Thus, choosing a gift for your husband on the occasion of the holiday is not an easy task. In the absence of a huge budget and a lot of time to think, give preference to more classic and traditional gifts. Otherwise, think about custom presentations. But also one should not concentrate solely on material things - most likely, your husband will much more appreciate the new impression than the additional items.
The main thing is to rely on your female intuition and knowledge of your husband’s personality traits. Only in this case you will be able to choose the best gift.
