An anniversary is a special holiday, therefore, a gift should be appropriate. When choosing a present for a man celebrating an anniversary, it is important to take into account not only his age, tastes and habits, but also his lifestyle, level of financial situation, degree of closeness of the donor and the gift.
We make an original gift with our own hands
With your own hands for the hero of the day you can cook a lot of gifts. What is important - they will turn out to be individual, they will most accurately be able to reflect the character of the birthday person and will warm his heart for a long time with pleasant memories.
Of the gifts made by hand, the most obvious is a congratulatory wall newspaper. It can be made in the form of postcards, memoirs, newspapers. Well, if it will be a colorful “product”, supplemented by photographs, wishes from friends and relatives.
A similar idea is a homemade photo album. Each page and page spread is a certain stage in the life of the hero of the day. If you do not have such extensive information about a man’s life from birth until the anniversary, you can make an album in the style of “one day in the life of the hero of the day”, the history of his trip to rest and so on.
If the beloved man’s anniversary, you can make a box or a beautiful jar with romantic notes “100 reasons for my love”. As an option - a checkbook of desires. Today, such gifts in finished form can be bought, but much more valuable and unique will be an unusual gift made with one's own hand.
You can make an original watch for the hero of the day. To do this, apply time segments on the wall of the dial.
You can designate them as "Time to dream", "Time to act!" and so on.
When talking about home-made gifts for men, among the first ones, culinary masterpieces are recalled. With your own hands you can bake a pie, cake, especially if these are your specialties. As an option - completely cover the festive table. Creative option - baked cookies with predictions with their own hands. Of course, predictions must be kind and positive.
An original gift will be a concert in honor of the hero of the day. Congratulations, vocal and dance numbers will cheer you up. It’s better to film the whole event so that the hero of the occasion could reconsider the holiday if he wishes.
Dear presents
The cost and value of the gift depends on several factors:
- age;
- relation degree.
The more impressive the anniversary figure, the more significant the gift should be. As for the degree of kinship, close people can give more personal and expensive gifts. If we are talking about friends, colleagues, subordinates, then their presentations should not be too personal (this is indecent, can offend the hero of the anniversary) and too high in price (especially if the birthday person and the donor are at different levels of the social ladder).
For young men up to 30-35 years old, something can be presented on the day of the anniversary that emphasizes his active nature and far-reaching prospects in professional and personal development. In most cases, this is the age when a man is actively building a career, growing up psychologically, but he still has youthful minimalism and enthusiasm.
If the means and interests of the hero of the day allow, you can present something for active pastime - a motorcycle, a jet ski, a motor boat. For lovers of thrills - parachute jump, helicopter flight, airplane. The main thing is not to make a surprise out of such a gift - you must be sure that the hero of the day is dreaming, or at least do not mind parachuting.
For men aged 35-55 years, such "crazy" gifts will be inappropriate. As a rule, in these years a man’s life is quite stable, but intense - work and family require considerable effort, the day is scheduled by the hour. If at the same time a man makes good money and can afford a lot himself, to surprise him with a gift is a difficult task.
An expensive and pleasant present can be a tourist package. It will not be easy for a person to cancel their plans in connection with the trip, so it is better to choose weekend tours. They can be both in another country, and within the homeland of the hero of the day
. In addition, such a 2-3-day trip will be more profitable in terms of money.
A certificate for a massage course, spa treatments or bath programs is also a good gift. The main thing is an expensive institution with highly qualified specialists. Many spa complexes offer weekend vacations with overnight stays, meals, a bath and massage, horseback riding. For a man whose life passes in a frantic urban rhythm, such a vacation will be a real “reboot."
At this age, men look after themselves, so the electric shaver, trimmer will also be an excellent present for the anniversary. If the birthday boy has a model haircut, then perhaps a hairdryer will not hurt him. However, you should give it only if you are sure of the need for such a gift. Otherwise, it will cause surprise and will be useless.
If the male leader is to be congratulated, then a massage chair for the office can be attributed to more expensive gift options. It will help to relax or, conversely, cheer up right at the workplace. As a more affordable and ergonomic option - a mobile foot massager.
A respectable office chair for the boss-anniversary is another gift option that will demonstrate the respect of the team and will be useful for the person presented. The main thing is to choose comfortable models with adjustable elements, it is better if the chair will have an impressive back and upholstered in leather.
An office chair is not the only expensive gift for a manager. You can decorate his office with a table fountain, a waterfall, a water mill, as well as a floor or hanging aquarium. As you know, the sound and type of pouring water soothe, relax. And the appearance of the cabinet thanks to such details only wins, becoming more respectable and interesting.
For a jubilee of advanced age over 50-55 years, it is better to give presents that are related to relaxation, health, comfort.
Of the more expensive options - this is the same weekend vacation, a ticket to the sanatorium, a rocking chair, a home massager.
At almost any age, smartphones, tablets, laptops or certificates to the electronics store will be appropriate. An elderly close relative can be presented with household appliances - a TV, a microwave oven, a slow cooker, a washing machine and a dishwasher. If you don’t know what to buy, he will again help out a gift certificate to a household appliance store.
Almost any man is pleased to receive alcohol as a gift. Let it be elite varieties of drinks, and even better - a minibar. Outwardly, the latter can represent a picture, a globe or a casket, but in fact it is a bar with collectible or simply elite alcohol. An expensive cigar lover and a guillotine can be presented to a cigar lover. He will be pleased with a birthday man and an engraved lighter, an expensive ashtray.
It is believed that you can not give hours, but this is nothing more than superstition. An expensive watch of a famous brand is a gift for all time. Whether it is a classic model, a sports fitness tracker or a “tricked out” version with many functions - it’s up to you to take into account the lifestyle and hobbies of the hero of the day.
Budget options
Almost all men are hunters in their souls, so a certificate for games in the shooting range, paintball and similar types of recreation will be very appropriate. Picnic lovers can easily please a new tent, a sleeping bag, a set of knives or a set of camping kitchen.
If a man has a hobby, then you can choose gifts, given the nature of his favorite pastime:
- athlete give an annual subscription to the pool or your favorite fitness club, a certificate to the company’s store of sports equipment and shoes;
- car enthusiast - gift card for car service, car covers, cooler bag, vacuum cleaner for the car;
- avid traveler and fisherman - spinning, sets of hooks and lures, a boat, equipment for winter fishing;
- gardener and gardener - BBQ, hammock, garden swing, lamps and country figures.
Colleagues or supervisors - office workers - will find it appropriate to donate a branded pen in a case with an engraving, stationery sets in a special table stand, paperweight, leather accessories such as a card holder, briefcase, tablet case.
For men over 50, as already mentioned, you can give gifts for health, self-care.
However, medicines, blood sugar measuring instruments, blood pressure and first-aid kits do not belong to this group of gifts.
They are not accepted to give, especially on the anniversary.
The hero of the day can be presented with a warm blanket made of natural materials or a terry bathrobe. If a person likes to read, then a good idea is to present collectible editions of his favorite books.
Another idea is a composition (for example, a ship) made of sweets and alcohol.
At this age, family and family ties are especially valued, so you can order several photo frames and insert a photo of the whole family into them. If the birthday man lives in a spacious apartment or house, then his portrait on canvas in an expensive frame will be appropriate. Various souvenirs for the connoisseur are not just small presents, but a gift chosen especially for him. The main thing is that the gift should be valuable, worthwhile. As a rule, these are various antique gizmos. You can also make a family tree of the family.
Perhaps, in the soul of every man is not indifferent to weapons, so such a gift for the anniversary will be memorable and symbolic. Moreover, few people buy such things for themselves.A set of knives or a saber with a wish will become the pride of the birthday person.
Comic greetings
Even the most ordinary gift can be presented in such a way that it will be remembered by the hero of the day for many years. One of these options is a jar of healing air. For this, an empty jar (preferably a 3-liter one) should be rolled up and a corresponding label should be made (for example, “Healing air for an expensive hero of the day”). On the inside of the lid you can apply a drop of coniferous essential oil, then after opening the air will “color” with a subtle, pleasant aroma of needles.
Before giving a present (do not show ahead of time), you need to say congratulations.
In it, mention that your gift will allow the birthday boy to stay strong and young longer, attract the attention of the opposite sex and breathe life to the fullest. After these words, solemnly present a present.
A motorist can be presented with a “kit” for his four-wheeled friend. Accompany each gift with comic verses or congratulations in prose. A round loaf can symbolize a wheel - we hand it with the words that at the right moment the hero of the day should always have a “spare tire” at hand. The wheel is a steering wheel, we accompany parting words that the hero of the day firmly and confidently clings to a steering wheel of the car. Combustive-lubricating materials are nothing more than a bottle of vegetable oil and vodka.
Similar gifts can be prepared on other topics. For example, present to the lover of the bath a basin, a hat for the bath, a broom. Congratulators at the presentation of each item can talk about different ways of using bath accessories.
A medal, a crown, comic diplomas - this is how you can tell other guests about the achievements of the hero of the day.
If you are looking for a gift to a person who has everything, then you can present a piece of the moon and Mars. Today, there are specialized stores that sell land from other planets. Naturally, the buyer receives the necessary supporting documents and certificates. At first glance, the gift is strange and incomprehensible, but lovers of originality will appreciate it. Don’t forget, presenting the gift, tell the birthday man about the uniqueness of his gift and compare it with the uniqueness of the hero of the day.
When preparing a comic congratulation, it is important to understand that everyone has a different sense of humor.
In most cases, such jokes are an addition to the main gift. Agree, a person who came to congratulate a relative or friend on his 50th birthday with a can of air looks at least silly.
You should be careful with the order of artists - clowns, performers of frank dances and so on. Think about how awkward the hero of the day and his family members will feel and feel if you order a stripper for the holiday.
Design and presentation ideas
Even the most inexpensive and fairly traditional gift can be made original and memorable. For the anniversary it will be appropriate to present expensive alcohol, but, instead of factory labels, stick a label with a congratulation for the hero of the day, his photo and so on. You can make separate brochures with the "composition", "rules of use" and so on. The main thing is to approach the compilation of inscriptions and manuals with imagination and soul.
One of the ideas for decorating and giving gifts that will please the hero of the day, regardless of his age, is to arrange a quest. The gift needs to be hidden in a certain place, and the birthday person should be given various tasks-tips that will allow him to find the gift. Well, if you arrange a thematic event - turn a gift into a mission, choose the appropriate design and costumes for other participants.
An anniversary is a special holiday, therefore it is appropriate and even accepted etiquette to add a gift to a bouquet.
The exception is if a man is an ardent opponent of bouquets for men, then innocent flowers can offend him. In all other cases, choose concise small compositions. Traditionally, “masculine” are carnations, callas, orchids, bamboo, and delphinium.The shape of such a bouquet is vertical or triangular. Preference should be given not to pastel, but to bright and saturated colors. Naturally, the packaging should be minimalistic, without bows, butterflies and pink ribbons.
