Despite the fact that February 23 is officially considered to be the Day of Defender of the Fatherland, on this day it is customary to give gifts to all men without exception: dads, grandfathers, brothers, friends, classmates and classmates, and, of course, their beloved half.
Top Standard Gifts
Of course, there is a certain list of things that have long become traditional versions of presentations for Defender of the Fatherland Day. Such items include socks, underwear, as well as all kinds of hygiene kits: shampoos, shower gels, shaving foams and much more.
Despite the fact that such gifts are often ridiculed, and some people even consider them indecent, girls often give them to their boys.
On the one hand, such a choice does not cause great difficulties, nor does it hit the wallet, and on the other hand, it is practical and necessary.
For example, every man will be happy to receive a quality shaving kit as a gift: a machine tool, shaving gel, as well as lotions that are applied before and after the procedure. If the young man owns a thick beard, then all kinds of oils, gels and mousses designed to care for the beard will be an excellent gift. For dudes, waxes for styling a mustache and beard are also suitable.
No less popular gifts are wardrobe items: both the smallest (socks, underwear) and larger ones (t-shirts, sweatshirts). If a loved one is a fan of business style, then he will be delighted with a new signature bow tie or tie, as well as cufflinks.
A common gift is a men's perfume.However, when choosing toilet water for your young man, you should be careful and attentive.
It is advisable to give preference to more calm aromas. You can also go the simpler way and just purchase your favorite perfume for a young man.
Gadgets and accessories are another common gift category. New high-quality headphones, a gaming mouse, a laptop bag or smartphone case will never be redundant. Car accessories or things related to a guy’s hobbies and hobbies will become relevant (fitness bracelet for the athlete, fishing rod for the fisherman or drum sticks for the musician).
The group of classic and expected gifts also includes watches and jewelry. If a man wears such accessories, then they can be a pretty good gift option.
To give a “twist” to a standard thing, you can order a personalized engraving.
Romantic ideas
On February 23, you can give your beloved man not only material things, but also romantic impressions.
For example, you can wake a loved one with a delicious breakfast in bed.. Depending on the personal preferences of the husband or young man, you can prepare a sweet breakfast (pancakes, cheesecakes, croissants) or choose a more traditional option - scrambled eggs or toasts. In addition to breakfast, you can arrange a romantic dinner.
The main role during dinner should be played by an intimate atmosphere: you can light candles, incense sticks, turn on unobtrusive music.
It is also worth paying attention to table layout. As a dinner, it is better to cook your young man's favorite dishes.
If the relationship is quite close, then a great end to such a romantic evening is a massage or an erotic dance.
Another category of romantic gifts consists of all kinds of certificates. For example, you can give your beloved a certificate in the SPA salon for two or arrange a short romantic trip for two to the city of dreams.
If a young couple has been in a relationship for quite some time and has children in common, then kids can be left with their parents for a holiday, and the two should go on a romantic date. To give a special mood to the day, you can go to the place of the first meeting or the first date.
Original and unusual presents
A creative gift for Defender of the Fatherland Day is a great way to surprise and delight your beloved, as well as avoid banal and already boring presents.
An interesting and unusual option can be a homemade certificate. As part of such a certificate, you can offer your husband a massage or cooking his favorite meal. For cheerful couples who love cool and original gifts, a certificate is suitable that allows the husband to independently control the remote control all evening or go fishing with friends for the whole weekend.
Surprisingly, for men, as well as for women, you can give bouquets. But, preferably, not from flowers. Today, many bouquet workshops offer the so-called "men's sets", which include salted fish, smoked sausage, fruits and vegetables, as well as drinks. If desired, such a gift can be individualized as much as possible.
If you want the present to be more soulful, it is better to create a similar bouquet yourself - the young man will be doubly happy.
A win-win option would be photo printing. The general photo can be applied to a mug, T-shirt, pillow, puzzle or any other item.
If a girl has any talents, is fond of creativity and is a rather creative person, then she should use her abilities to create a gift - You can write a portrait or a song, tie a scarf with your own hands.
In order to diversify boring holiday feasts, it is worth creating a real quest for your beloved. For example, in the morning on the bedside table, leave him a small letter with a hint where he should go next. In the next place is another note. As a result of his mini-journey, a young man should discover his gift.
Various greeting cards on radio and television also remain relevant.
You can order your boyfriend's favorite musical composition and write a sincere congratulation. In addition, you can go further, for example, record a whole video for a young man. It is also worth asking mutual friends to say a few words about your soul mate, and then combine these videos together in a video editor. The last and warmest congratulation should be the video of your girlfriend.
The original gift idea for February 23 will also be various assorted sets. In any container (it can become, for example, a box or a basket), collect small, but pleasant little things. Edible products, such as coffee or a bottle of your favorite drink, wardrobe items and any other things you wish can be such presents.
With such a complex gift, the girl definitely does not fail: at least a few things from the set, the young man will certainly like it.
How to make a guy a surprise?
Of course, the correct choice of a gift is quite important, but the way of presenting it is no less important.
First of all, you need to choose a beautiful package. It can be a cardboard box or special paper. Today, many specialized services offer a beautiful and high-quality gift wrapping, but you can cope with this task yourself. Gift wrapping paper or foil, ribbons, beads, beads and other decorative elements will come in handy.
You need to try to comply with a single color palette.
In order to arrange a real surprise for a young man, it is recommended to send such a gift by mail (if the girl does not live with him) or ask the courier to deliver a present to his beloved at work.
If you like to celebrate the holidays noisily and in the company of friends, then you should try to arrange a surprise party for your beloved with balloons. And on the contrary, if a guy loves silence and solitude, then you can blindfold him and take him to the roof or to another cozy and secluded place and only upon arrival can your eyes be unleashed.
Useful Tips
When choosing and planning a gift, it is important to consider the nature and desires of the young man. For example, if he does not like noisy parties, then it is better to stay home together on this day.
In addition, try to recall the hints that the guy gave on the eve of the holiday - perhaps the young man has already looked after himself a gift or has long been dreaming of a thing.
It is also recommended to go to buy a gift in advance. This should be done for two main reasons:
- during the holidays, stores are filled with people, so taking care of purchasing a presentation in advance, you can thus protect yourself from unnecessary stress;
- many products, especially for classic gifts for men on February 23, are being sold out rather quickly.
If the candy-bouquet period of relations is already over, you have become a real family and have big material plans, for example, save up for an apartment or a car, then you should not spend a large amount of financial resources on congratulations on this holiday.
Thus, there are an unlimited number of ways and opportunities to congratulate your loved one on the Defender of the Fatherland Day. In fact, the girl is limited only by fantasy: you can present both a standard present and arrange a real romantic evening.
