For many of us, holidays are our favorite days of the year. However, for some, they can become real stress. The thing is that in the process of holiday fuss it is quite difficult to decide on the most important thing - the choice of gifts. Moreover, if for mom, girlfriend or sister, we can easily determine the right thing, then in the process of selecting a presentation for a guy there may be great difficulties.
What to give a young man a birthday, New Year or February 23, how to approach the choice of a presentation, what to buy, if you need to keep within the budget - all this in our article.
What to consider?
In the process of choosing a gift for a young person, a large number of difficulties and questions may arise. To avoid such difficulties, you should think about and take into account all the important factors in advance.
Of particular importance is the occasion, on the occasion of which you present a present. For example, warm accessories and wardrobe items (hat, scarf, warm socks) can become actual gifts for the New Year; on February 23, it is appropriate to give a shaving kit. However, sometimes we forget that it is not necessary to wait for the red day of the calendar - a young man can be presented with a present without any reason. In this case, any restrictions are completely absent.
The second important factor to consider is your proximity. So, if the relationship is just beginning, then you should give more traditional and universal, but at the same time, romantic gifts. On the other hand, if your love has already been tested by time, then you can present more original gifts, as well as practical objects or even things with an intimate connotation.
It is also important to remember what your boyfriend is fond of and what his hobbies are. Your favorite pastime can be a great starting point when choosing a presentation for any reason. Such a thing will be practical and will be used, and not gather dust on a shelf or in a closet. And the young man will be touched by the attention and care shown.
If you are preparing a gift on the occasion of the holiday (New Year, birthday, etc.), for which it is customary to give gifts (that is, not your personal holiday, for example, an anniversary), then you should discuss your plans in advance with friends and relatives of your loved one. The fact is that such a situation may arise when you get the same thing that another person plans to buy. As a result, the guy will receive 2 identical items (most often this happens in cases where a young person needs something, or wants something for a long time). To avoid such embarrassing situations, Make sure your gift is exclusive and one of a kind.
You need to consider your budget. Real feelings and sincere relationships do not require expensive gifts or large financial investments. If your young man truly loves you, then he will be glad of any little things received from your hands.
Therefore, do not worry if you do not have enough money to buy an expensive and status gift. The main thing is your feelings and meaning that you put into your present.
Among other things, you should pay attention and think in advance not only the gift itself, but also its packaging. Still need to carefully plan the moment of delivery. Remember that even the simplest and most purely symbolic present can turn into a chic surprise, if properly presented. Do not be too lazy to buy gift paper, decorate the box with decorative elements and prepare a congratulatory speech. Turn presenting a gift into a bright and memorable event - this will be a real surprise, and later it will turn into a story that you will remember for many years to come.
Original presents
A memorable gift is such a thing that will bring pleasure and joy to your young man for a rather long period. Therefore, try to come up with an unusual, interesting and cool present.
The original idea is a prefabricated or so-called complete gift. This option is suitable primarily for those who can not decide on one specific thing because of the huge number of ideas. Typically, such gifts are placed in gift baskets and beautifully packaged. They can be ordered in special services or made independently.
Such a set, in essence, can contain anything: it can be a guy’s favorite foods and goodies, pleasant everyday trivia, or collections for a theme evening (for example, a movie evening). In this case, you are limited only by your imagination and financial capabilities.
Another good idea is to give the guy anything from technology. It can be now fashionable so-called “smart watches” or more familiar devices (smartphones, tablets, laptops, and so on). A lover of computer games can be presented with a new-generation game console with several game discs, and high-quality acoustic speakers can be presented to a young person who is fond of music.
Remember that the main thing in choosing a gift is an individual approach.
Accessories for sports will always be a good choice. Depending on the particular sport your boyfriend is engaged in, such presentations can be varied and personalized. So, a new pair of sneakers is useful to the runner, and gloves for lifting the barbell are useful to the bodybuilder. A more universal gift is a set of sportswear or a gym membership.
Pleasant little things for the car - this is what will always please a man. As such a gift, you can choose a comfortable pillow under the back, a thermo mug for the car or an air freshener in the interior. If you are the person who is familiar with the internal structure of the car, you can present something more specific (for example, new wheels).
Unusual romantic gifts
If your partner is romantic and sensual, then he will like gifts that reflect your feelings. Such presentations can be relevant not only during the holidays, but also when traveling and forced relationships at a distance (for example, if a young man leaves to serve in the army or goes to study in another city).
The best romantic gift is a present that in any way will reflect your feelings. The traditional version of such a keepsake is your shared photo. You can put it in a beautiful frame or give it yourself. On the flip side, it’s appropriate to write words of love or a sweet joke.
A more creative option is a card as a sign of love. Get a card that allows you to write your own wishes. Do not skimp on kind words, remember romantic stories, the first kiss, the first date or acquaintance. To add flavor to a card, attach a small wildflower to it or use your perfume. At that moment, when the young man will get your present, his fragrance remind him of you.
An edible gift will be more practical. Gather your boyfriend a sweet set of chocolates, sweets and fruits. In turn, a lover of salty snacks can collect a box of crackers, chips and crackers. Such a kit is very useful on a long road.
If the guy is not leaving anywhere, but you still want to give him an unusual romantic gift, then arrange for him original date. It can take place on the beach, in the forest or even in the center of your city. Have a picnic with him and bring some hand-made treats.
Another option is a quest with riddles and tasks. Such a gift will be an unforgettable pastime and will be remembered by you for a long time. It will be especially relevant for a holiday that takes place in the warm season, or for your anniversary (in this case, you can walk around the places of your dates).
Cool ideas
A variant of a cool gift on the anniversary of a relationship or Valentine's Day - household items with your common photo. Today there are a huge number of services that offer services of this kind. Make sure that in the photo you will use, you both turned out well, and also give preference to high-resolution images. Your general photo can be printed on a pillow or mug. You can also make a photo puzzle, which then you will have fun putting together.
Another unusual idea is gift Certificate. Its content should depend on the personality of your boyfriend, his character and hobbies. So, someone will like the certificate for a master class in oratory, and the other will be impressed by the certificate not the free services in the spa. If you want to make a gift more romantic, then get a similar ticket for two.
Vacation tickets are another opportunity to surprise your loved one. Depending on your financial situation, as well as the amount of free time, you can give tickets for a week-long rest in warm countries, a weekend in Paris or a weekend in nature.
A more budget version of the previous gift is tickets for going to the cinema or museum. Perhaps a new exposition of paintings by the beloved artist of the guy was brought to your city, or the premiere film that your beloved has been waiting for for so long has appeared on the screens of the cinema.
Another cool gift - subscription to a favorite resource of a young man. Perhaps he likes listening to audio books or is learning English on the Internet.Subscribing to the appropriate resource is sure to come in handy.
