What can men give as of February 23?

Defender of the Fatherland Day, which is usually celebrated on February 23, has long been not considered a holiday exclusively of the military. On this date, congratulations and presents give all males, regardless of age. And on the eve of the celebration, women have an important mission - to figure out how to please their close men or employees. It is advisable not to repeat this every year. So, you need to be smart and connect imagination.

Long before the momentous event, schoolgirls, students, unmarried women and family ladies begin to figure out how to please dear men and boys for the holiday. No one can be ignored on such a day. Men appreciate the attention of women and deserve praise. Moreover, there is such a solemn occasion for this.

Gifts, of course, are different. What one likes will not impress the other at all. To make the right choice, it is important to understand what is fond of and what prefers the one to be congratulated. Someone likes practical things, while souvenirs bring joy to others. With a gift to a loved one it is easier to determine, it is enough to find out in advance what his wishes are. Or go shopping with him and in different departments note to yourself what interests him.

There, it is convenient to ask the price in advance and plan the ratio of the budget to future expenses. In addition to the beloved husband, brother, son, father or father-in-law, many need to congratulate their godchildren, nephews, colleagues. The more all kinds of gift ideas, the better.

To the relief of many women, there is a list of the most popular and relevant men's presents. They are always in demand and appropriate in most cases. Universal gifts for men on February 23 may be:

• shaving and showering kit;
• toilet water (perfumes, perfumes);
• bath towel (set possible);
• attributes for visiting the steam room;
• quality office supplies;
• circles with thematic inscriptions in memory;
• thermo mugs or thermos;
• keychain with a flashlight or opener;
• delicious tea, aromatic coffee.

But there are certain nuances of gifts from this rating. For example, with the smell of perfume, you can not guess and disappoint a man. Attributes for the steam room are suitable only for those who like to visit the sauna or bathhouse. Some should not do this for health reasons.

Present for your loved ones:

• leather belt;
• tie;
• shirt;
• bathrobe;
• slippers;
• sweets;
• purse.

If a man wears a tie, you should take care of such an addition as a decorative clip, as well as consider stylish packaging. When buying a shirt, it is better to choose a copy with cuffs for cufflinks and attach them to the main gift. Let it be better clothes for special occasions. High quality, fashionable shade and cut are welcomed.

A bathrobe will be an ideal gift if you decorate it with embroidery with the name of a loved one or a pleasant inscription. It can be something personal or a funny phrase. Such robes are made to order. It is important to plan your purchase in advance so that the idea is completed on time.

Slippers get only high quality and comfortable. You can do this in a pair with a bathrobe or intimate things (pajamas, underwear, a set of socks). Sweets also should not be commonplace, bought at the nearest grocery store. Cupcakes with a thematic design in honor of February 23 will appreciate the sweet tooth on the highest scale. As an option - a cake in honor of the main defender in his life. Decoration is selected according to individual wishes. Such sweet surprises are also pre-booked.

But what about those who do not like sweets, preferring spicy and salty? Bouquets of sausage, cheese, pepper and other snacks are an excellent substitute for cakes. Such a "dry ration" on the Defender of the Fatherland Day should be originally decorated.

It is easier to choose a gift for your son. It all depends on the income level of each particular family. Someone can afford to give a child an expensive personal computer or a powerful laptop, bicycle, moped, smartphone or the latest iPhone model. And other families make gifts more modest. But this does not mean that someone loves their boys less or more. Feelings for children are not measured in money. And if one boy can sincerely rejoice at the Lego designer or a large box of sweets, the other will be impressed by the rollers or the stunt scooter. And you will not surprise others with expensive accessories for no less status gadgets or equipment.

A gift for young godchildren and nephews can be chosen precisely by age and hobbies. Toy stores for younger ones provide a huge assortment of diverse designers, cars, planes, PU helicopters, puzzles and board games.

No need to discount cheap symbolic gifts. Although their cost is low, they can be given with all your heart. Especially when you need to congratulate a lot of people at once (colleagues, classmates, fellow students). Small presents will help out on a holiday and will not empty a purse. It can be:

Such small gifts can be a significant contribution to good and warm relations in the team. There are many more inexpensive options, the main thing is to choose something suitable. For example, a paratrooper has something with an image of a parachute, a sailor with a marine theme, etc. Non-military and non-military will do something neutral.

When a sign of attention is to be given to her main defender - her husband, by February 23 you need to prepare thoroughly. Selecting from all ideas the most interesting and useful gifts.

On this day, it is important to create a festive atmosphere. So that the hero of the occasion wakes up in an excellent mood and lives all day with a smile on his face. It is important to show and even tell him that in your life he comes first, and in your family, in your home - support and protection, a reliable shoulder. Let her husband realize that nothing is scary behind his broad back.

It will be wonderful to build some unusually tasty and beautifully decorated breakfast on such a holiday. You can even in the subject of the event. Let’s say “general’s” sandwiches decorated according to a high military rank. Or serve porridge, laid out by the number 23. Stars from red caviar on pancakes - also look very symbolic, but simply conquer men with their taste.

In the process of treating you to breakfast, you can please your strong half again and say a nice congratulatory speech. After breakfast, it's time to give the main gift. It will be nice to find the right words to accompany the gift. That the spouse understood what sense you put in it.

Feel free to explain in verses or even to the background romantic melody. All this will benefit your relationship, strengthen it. A good option is a baked holiday cake with one's own hand. It may not be decorated according to the symbols of the holiday. It will just be nice and delicious at home.

Do not like pies and watch your figure? Then make an interesting salad. Or make a favorite of the traditional options, but name it when serving somehow symbolically, in tune with the Defender of the Fatherland Day.

In addition to all of the above, you can use the following ideas.

• Handmade Gift: something sewn, knitted, drawn, etc. The creativity shown in making breakfast is not considered a gift, it is only a bonus as a sign of attention.

• Named or memorable present. For example, a T-shirt or sweatshirt with the name, photo or memorial place of your acquaintance or on the topic of the troops in which the husband served (if he was in military service). Maybe you should take a closer look at jewelry with a name (inscription) or a watch. It is not necessary to choose an expensive thing, even economically you can do everything beautifully.

• Status thing. What the spouse will never buy for himself is a presentable pen, a leather purse, a watch, cufflinks, a clip for banknotes, etc.

• A gift is a childhood dream. If in childhood my husband had a dream, but still has remained unrealizable, you can feel like a sorceress and fulfill it. What childhood dreams can a boy have? Folding knife, flashlight, crossbow, something from a weapon. Or maybe a trip? Find out on occasion where a loved one wanted to go in childhood or what he dreamed of being a carefree boy. You can make your husband happy even with elementary attention.

• If the spouse is a smoker, they’ll probably be happy with cigars, a knife for them, a hookah with a set of tobacco and coal, a stylish ashtray or an unusual lighter. You can also present to your beloved a pipe, a tobacco pouch with quality tobacco. Although the feasibility of such a gift is very controversial. Smoking is harmful to health. But if you prevent this, it is even more difficult to fight a bad habit. In exceptional cases, you can close your eyes to a bad habit of her husband.

• The same can be said about alcohol. But you need to understand that an ordinary bottle of vodka as a gift cannot be dispensed with. If you give something from alcohol-containing, then only a high-quality elite drink. Otherwise, it is better to pay attention to the present from another sphere.

• You can present a shaving machine or some related accessories.

• A keychain can also be a gift with a “search” function for husbands who often lose keys.

• Eau de toilette, underwear with interesting drawings or original inscriptions.

If the children are still small, they give dad with drawings and crafts. They sculpt tanks, guns, draw stars and number 23. During the growing up of children, gifts become somewhat different. For example, girls knit scarves or even sweaters for their fathers. And the guys do something with their hands. Dads are always happy with what they receive from children, as they give offspring all from a pure heart. This cannot but cause pride in the parent. But what can be given if there is no talent to knit and knit together?

• Interesting book.
• Subscribe to the magazine.
• Order a musical greeting on the radio.
• Give a T-shirt or mug with the signature “Beloved Dad”, “Our General”, “Regiment Commander” or come up with your own original phrase.
• Warm plaid.
• Night light.
• Glasses in the case (but after learning what diopters are needed).
• Original family photo frame or album. You can make a frame with your own hands. And give a photo album, oriented to the storage of army photo cards.
• As an option - a bath set with a hat with a star, etc.
• "Soldier's ration" in the original packaging and with modern content.
• Insulated vest.
• Tickets for a movie show or theater for two. May go with her mother to unwind or take an adult son / daughter with her.

Not everyone thinks about it, but in vain. Choosing a gift for February 23rd to a man, women sometimes act intuitively. In order not to buy something unnecessary and not to disappoint, it is better to figure out what you should not pay attention to.

1. It is advisable to avoid common objects and not to hand over a strategic stock of socks, sprays or ball deodorants, soap, underpants, undershirts, underpants, standard mugs, disposable razors. Such a gift will immediately show that for the holiday you have a purely formal attitude and an indifferent approach to the choice. Therefore, this man is indifferent. Otherwise, why didn’t you take care of something original in advance?
2. Too expensive stuff also not an option for a presentation on Defender of the Fatherland Day. First of all, because it requires the man to subsequently give a similar return gift. And the funds for it are not always enough and not at all. This can only be done to family people, by common agreement. Since February 23rd is followed by Spring and International Women's Day.
3. Intimate things give only to loved ones. A fellow student does not need to give socks and panties. It may seem to the guys a hint of rapprochement or even confuse and offend a person.
4. Chocolates, sweets and soft toys - not men's gifts, like bouquets.
5. Gifts with a hint also not welcome. For example, if a husband promises to finish a repair or make something for a long time, but doesn’t get to the point, don’t give him tools for the holiday. Make it better any day.
6. Do not give tickets for pop pop groupsif a man does not like it.And don't drag a guy to listen to symphonic music or a musical in a theater if he doesn't like these cultural events.

You must always remember that a gift is, first of all, a sign of attention. Therefore, sometimes there are enough grateful words and good mood for a real holiday. And you can stock up on a great present, but present it in such a way that a quarrel will be inevitable. Remember that only with a good mood and goodwill, with a sincere desire to make a real holiday for a man, an unforgettable celebration can turn out.

Such gifts are usually given in certain circles or to the closest men. it can be:

• a bottle of elite alcohol;
• an expensive pair of cufflinks or a set of tie clips + cufflinks;
• VIP watches with engraving;
• cigars complete with guillotine;
• status office set;
• personal certificates for vacations or purchases;
• exclusive accessories (umbrella, purse, bag);
• fashionable shoes or any pair of shoes;
• covers for the car.

On February 23rd, women are often lost thinking how to congratulate the boss. At work in any field, he is in charge, so forgetting a gift is unforgivable for him. If this is a personal gift, then it may well be symbolic and budget. A collective gift must be chosen according to the status of the boss and his position in society. Of course, this should be something more serious than a postcard or a set from the nearest department of household chemicals and perfumes.

When choosing, it is important to observe the principle of the "golden mean." Too expensive a thing can put a manager in an awkward position. It can be taken as a sneak peek or a bribe. A person can understand what is happening, and your generosity and enterprise will result in anger and dismissal of you from your post. Excessively cheap tokens will not work either. The tasteless penny option is better not to take into account from the very beginning. Otherwise, the boss might think that they show disrespect to his person and even try to make fun of him.

You need to decide whether it is appropriate to give something to the main thing in the place where you work. And also, as is usually done. Perhaps this is a collective manifestation of attention or the approach of each employee is individual. Or, in general, the congratulatory part is based only on words of greeting and wishes of all the best. But, nevertheless, it is customary to make gifts, just in case you need to figure out what ideas are good for congratulating the boss:

• expensive cognac, whiskey, rum from the elite series and varieties;
• a set of cigars identical to alcohol;
• status office
• leather-bound diary;
• purse made of elite material of the highest quality;
• quality business card holder.

These are all win-win gifts. A set according to the standard, which, as usual, is presented on February 23 or other dates. If relations with the authorities are on the “same wavelength”, then any original little things and even ridiculous options will be perfectly perceived. And if the boss decides to pay attention to his subordinates himself, the following presents are presented at his discretion:

• premium - a salary supplement is always relevant;
• corporate evening;
• delivery of diplomas.

First you need to figure out who these colleagues are - employees of one enterprise or office, colleagues in the department, business partners. If these are business partners, things with military symbols or with the company logo will be appropriate. Notebooks, pens, calendars, mugs, lighters and greeting cards are a small part of what you can choose a gift for colleagues.

It is better to rely on the age of employees, take into account their hobbies, if something is known about them. It will be convenient to make a list of male colleagues by writing down the names of each age and hobby opposite. This will greatly simplify the task of choice and eliminate confusion. But the price tag of gifts should be equal. In order not to offend anyone and not cheat on a holiday.

Gifts to colleagues are of a certain nature and depend on the amount that employees can afford to spend on them. As a rule, presents are obtained from collective funds. All employees in the department, office, enterprise donate a certain amount, and the most active and enterprising set the holiday table at the end of the working day and congratulate the men according to their scenario.

Most often, colleagues are given the same, equivalent things. Then the mood will not be spoiled by anyone. Suitable chocolate with the number 23 and alcohol, personalized mugs or drinking utensils with military symbols. Original flasks, thematic printed T-shirts, lighters. For colleagues who often work at a computer, mouse pads, a heated mug powered by USB or a mini fan that connects by the same principle will be a good gift. In stores, you can pick up flash drives in a design that matches the theme of the holiday. This is a necessary and interesting thing for an office worker.

In a large and large enterprise, purely working relations among employees usually reign. But this is not a reason to abandon the idea of ​​making small surprises for men. It can be a personalized mug or a stylish pen, a diary, a cake baked to order in honor of February 23. In small firms, relations are warmer and often colleagues are invited to bowling, to a paintball tournament or to go through an exciting quest. This approach with common emotions only brings together and promotes even more productive cooperation.

No less important is what the gift is packaged into. Design style is able to distinguish it from the rest. But the ideas of decoration depend on imagination and ingenuity. It is not necessary to knock down in search of a unique and memorable package, looking for it in stores. You can stylishly arrange a gift even with the help of ordinary newspapers and improvised means.

Creative design is desirable to associate not only with the military theme, as they congratulate on February 23 all men without exception. It is better to create a package taking into account the interests of each individual person, according to age and status. In order not to “reinvent the wheel”, it will be convenient to do everything according to the finished template. It can be found on the Internet and print the required number of blanks.

After that, you will only have to pack gifts and decorate the resulting packaging with buttons, stars, a tie or a bow tie, in general, with anything. Flight of fancy can not stop there. Lovely holiday inscriptions are welcome. Self-expression will tell you what words are best to devote to a particular person.

It would seem that such an unsightly package, and this is already half of what is needed for a successful gift wrapping. Even the mustache glued on top of the bag will make it original and unique, the most suitable for men's gifts. And if you add eyes or draw a funny face, decorate with a shirt and a bright tie - even the most primitive and inexpensive gift will look spectacular.

Instructions for manufacture.

1. Divide the top of the package visually into 3 parts and cut off 5 cm from all two edges, and do not touch the middle.
2. To bend inward the edges, giving the package the shape of a shirt collar.
3. Tape them together. Decorate the “shirt” with a tie made of colored wallpaper (paper).

You can supplement the decoration with newspaper clippings and illustrations from magazines. Preferably in a festive theme. From the inscriptions they cut out “Best Dad”, “My Defender”, “Happy Holidays!”, “Our Hero”, “The Most Dignified”. You can use a marker for inscriptions. On a craft package it will look very modern.

Vintage does not give way to modern design. He is always in fashion, like everything unusual. You can make fine wrapping paper out of an unnecessary old newspaper, and it’s completely inexpensive and original.

You will need:

• a newspaper (ideally, to be faded from time to time, yellow in some places, even a foreign publication can be);
• glossy magazine page;
• scissors;
• stapler;
• glue.

For this option, the gift should be placed in a box. To pack it in a newspaper, you need to do the following manipulations:

• wrap the box with newspaper and secure the joints with tape;
• bend the top of the protruding paper from the sides down;
• put the corners in the center;
• raise the lower part and fix all the edges with tape.

In addition, you can use some cute accessory. Men do not differ in sentimentality. Something similar would be more suitable for their harsh natures than bows and bright colors. An exception is only a bow made from a magazine page. To do this, cut 9 strips to the entire length of the page, each approximately 2 cm wide.

Shorten 3 strips by 2.5 cm, and two by 5 cm, one should be 9 cm long. Each of them should be folded with a figure eight, bright side up. Tape the ends together with tape. Shorten the shortest ring. "Eights" to connect, gluing the center to the center with the three largest. You get a decorated six-pointed star. Small ones should be fastened separately. Now you need to collect from this the likeness of a pyramid, and close the center with a ring.

Incredibly effective and moderately ascetic bow for a brutal gift is ready. At the same time, its value is losing importance, since the efforts made are obvious at a glance. It remains to attach the bow to the package and praise yourself for your patience.

On February 23, men often receive as a present their preferred alcoholic drink: whiskey, rum, tequila, cognac, etc. And such a high-degree present is also worth it to be packed creatively. A sleeve from a man’s old shirt is proposed for use. The algorithm of actions is simple and affordable for everyone.

• A sleeve with a cuff is cut from an unnecessary shirt. The length should slightly exceed the height of the bottle. It must be borne in mind that the thing should not be well-worn, and cuffs are better to pick up well-preserved ones. The exception is denim. Wear on it is only for the good.
• A bottle of alcohol “dresses” in a sleeve, moreover, the beginning of the cuff should correspond to the edge of the neck. The bottom must be carefully sewn to close the bottom.
• The cuff is stacked to form a collar. An improvised paper tie or bow-tie is put on the neck or the “gate” is left casually unfastened.

When many male relatives gather at the same table on a holiday, you can stick a printed photo on each package. This is done very quickly and looks creative and individual.
