What to give mom on March 8?

Needless to say, choosing a gift for mom is always a very exciting and reverent moment. The dearest person wants to choose without fail something the best and the most unusual. And while toddlers and schoolchildren may well give presentations made with their own hands, then older children mostly try to give the necessary and useful gifts for the home or personal needs of the mother. We will try to figure it out and give practical advice on choosing presents for March 8 for your beloved mothers.

The stores offer a wide range of different gift options. But they do not always satisfy our desires. Therefore, the idea periodically arises of doing something ourselves. Also, this option is most optimal for young children. After all, they are not yet able to buy anything.

Such presentations always delight with their originality and uniqueness. In addition, it is very pleasant to realize that the child spent his strength and used imagination to make a gift. For any mom, this is one of the most valuable presentations.

Ever since kindergarten, children are taught to make postcards. March 8 is a great way to give your grandmother, sister or mother such a sign of attention. Do not think that it always looks childishly naive or even plain. Today you can find many workshops on making truly unique postcards with your own hands. We will analyze one of them right now.

The most common decoration for a card on March 8 are flowers. There are many ways to make them from colored paper. The main idea is to make a blank on cardboard for the card itself and decorate its outside with such flowers. Inside, the most sincere wishes may be located.

Therefore, we will analyze how to make different types of flowers for postcards. If you wish, you can stick a bouquet of the same buds or use different flowers in the composition.

Tulips are very delicate spring flowers. Unfortunately, they are not very long. But paper tulips will delight their owner for a very, very long time. The most beautiful options are obtained from corrugated paper.

To make one tulip, cut 2 identical squares from the corrugation. Next, each of them must be folded in half and again in half. As a result, you should get a square, but smaller in size. Now take the scissors and cut out the petals. We leave the middle uncut, so that 4 petals are connected in the center. We do the same manipulation with the second square.

Now you need to collect our tulips. We insert one workpiece into another so that their central points coincide, and glue. Unopened tulips look very gentle, so you need to collect all the petals and fix them in the form of a bud with glue.

Chamomiles on a postcard are one of the easiest options. We take white paper and draw an even circle of the desired diameter. Next, draw the petals. To do this, draw small arcs along the diameter of the circle. In the center, in a small circle we denote the core. From the points where the arcs are in contact with the circle, draw straight lines to the center. Then it remains only to cut the blanks, cut the petals along the drawn lines and glue the yellow circle in the center (you can simply draw it).

In order to make the daisy look more natural, we scissor the ends of the petals with scissors or a pencil, drawing them from the back. Now you can randomly arrange them on our blank postcard. If you are planning a bouquet of daisies, then you can additionally cut leaves from green paper and also glue it.

Rose is a great gift for March 8th. Making it out of paper is a snap. Prepare colored paper for the colors you want. It can be both traditional pink and red tones, and unimaginable gold or blue. Cut out of them even squares. We will not give the exact dimensions, since almost any square can be turned into a rose. Accordingly, the more its sides will be, the more the flower will turn out.

Next, we calculate its middle and begin to draw a spiral. Make sure that it is as even as possible, and not "go" to one or the other side. We arm ourselves with scissors and cut the square in a spiral. There should be no sharp corners from the outside. Now it remains to twist our rose. For this, a knitting needle, skewer or a simple rod from the handle is perfect. Twist it is necessary to start from the middle, since it is there that the smallest diameter of the circles is.

Such a rose is glued onto the paper with the base down. It should give the impression that you are looking at a flower from above.

Layered flowers can also be made of paper. Depending on what form of petals you make, the final result will depend. But the execution scheme of such colors is identical. To get started, make the required number of blanks (squares or circles). The more they will be, the larger the flower will turn out.

Next, draw the petals on the blanks. In the center they should be connected.In order for the petals to look more natural, they need to be slightly bent down.

An even more original version of the postcard can be made using felt. This material is presented in a wide variety in needlework stores. At the same time, the manufacturing scheme will not be any different from that applicable for plain paper. But such a card will definitely remain in your memory for a long time and will become a worthy decoration. We only note that to glue parts it will be necessary to purchase special glue. Masters use a glue gun, but it is quite expensive, so you can do with ordinary stationery glue.

It is unlikely that ordinary soap would qualify for the title of a worthy gift on March 8th. But if you make this hygiene item yourself, then the situation is radically changing. At the same time, it will be possible to decorate it at will, reflecting the symbolism of the holiday.

If you think that you can’t do it, you can turn to the masters for help. Such products are easy to find at fairs. Also, masters often offer their products through social networks.

Another option would be to buy a kit for making soap. They can be found in specialized craft stores. The instructions describe in detail the entire process of manufacturing bars. And all the necessary ingredients will already be included. Therefore, even a guy will be able to cope with such a task. Do not think that needlework is the destiny of only the weaker sex. INWhen we were at preschool and school age in educational institutions, we all did crafts regardless of our gender.

Most of us think that only a professional can draw a good picture. There is a deal of truth in it. But after all, mom will not evaluate professionalism, but with what love and care the work is done. In addition, even if you do not have a special art education, you can completely cope with some simple techniques for making real paintings.

If the children are already adults and they have their own child, then you can make a unique picture with handprints. To do this, select the background.

Next, you need to gather all family members and do joint work. We paint the palm of each of the participants in different colors and make prints on the future picture. The originality of this gift also lies in the fact that mom will need to guess where the prints of her beloved daughter are, and where is the son-in-law or grandson.

Looking at some recognized masterpieces of world painting, one involuntarily arises confidence that “that I could have done that”. One need only recall the famous "Black Square" by Malevich. So why not create your own masterpiece! Oil paints are perfect for this. Pour water into a wide plate or dish. From above begin to drip paints of different colors. With a thin kitty or knitting needle, you can create intricate patterns and interweaving of tones.

Now we need a sheet of cardboard. Gently lean it against the surface of the water. All paints will settle on the canvas. It remains only to dry the picture well and make a decent frame.

DIY gifts are a good option for congratulations. They are original, beautiful, but often completely impractical. Good hostesses will always appreciate presentations that will be useful to them in everyday life.

Many people think that this is commonplace.. But with the help of such a gift you can show your respect and care. Look at your mom’s kitchen equipment. Perhaps she has been going to buy any item for a long time, but everyone “does not reach her hands”. Or old items are already in indecent condition. March 8 is a great occasion to please mommy with necessary and convenient devices and accessories.

And do not think that this category includes only expensive equipment in the form of a robot vacuum cleaner or coffee machine. You can choose the right gift without spending a lot of money on it. After all, who, if not mom, knows about your financial opportunities. That is why you can often hear the phrase from her: “No need to splurge!”, “It is very expensive, why spend such money!”.

One of the universal gifts are towel sets and kitchen hooks. On the eve of the holiday, you can easily find thematic options. But, as a rule, good housewives always have these accessories. Therefore, giving another set of towels, knowing that Mom has them in stock, is impractical.

In this case, it is better to look at other little things. For example, maybe the old grater has already outlived itself, or chopping boards have cracked and darkened. But here you need to be careful enough - if mom (or you) is a superstitious person, then you should not give a set of knives. Some people think this is a quarrel.

It is also worth paying attention to the dishes. She often beats, and therefore there is a need to periodically buy her. It is better if in style it will be combined with the one that is already in the house.

Any housewife will confirm the rule that there are no extra dishes. This is especially true for those who are used to celebrate holidays in a large family circle. Indeed, in order to prepare treats, for all guests one or even two containers is sometimes not enough.

It is worth considering the fact that non-stick coatings often become unusable.

If you think that mother has enough universal ceramic pots and pans, pay attention to more original options. For example, it can be ducklings, bouillon dishes, baking dishes or a frying pan with an unusual square shape.

It is worth noting that it is important to pay great attention to the quality of the product. It is better to choose one good item than several cheaper and lower quality ones at the same price. Moms are very sensitive to the gift of children and will try to keep it as long as possible. So let it be the thing that really makes sense to store.

Manufacturers of kitchen appliances every year release new gadgets that can facilitate the daily work of housewives. But not every one of them can claim the role of a gift for mom. For example, if a woman is in old age, then it will be difficult for her to deal with complex devices with many settings and functions.

When choosing a kitchen assistant, pay attention to ease of use. In addition, do not forget about the personal preferences of your beloved mom. You should not spend money on an expensive coffee machine, if she prefers tea or cocoa more. Also, not all women are used to using devices such as steamers. They may be convenient, and the food in them turns out to be healthier and more proper, but what is the use of it if they don’t use it.

Remember that mom cooks with great pleasure. Maybe she really lacks a good meat grinder or it became very difficult to cope with the preparation of meat manually, then you should think about purchasing an electric version of the device.

For those mothers who like to delight homemade pastries, a planetary mixer will be an excellent option. These are the ones that chefs and pastry chefs use to knead dough. It will be very convenient to whip cream or proteins for cream and dough.

Or maybe it will not be necessary to invent an original gift if you know for sure that the kettle or toaster that is often used is out of order.

On a beautiful spring day on March 8, I want to emphasize that mom is not only an excellent hostess, but also just a beautiful and beloved woman. Therefore, gifts for personal care will be very welcome.

The choice of one or another option should be based on the personal preferences of the gifted. If mother has long wanted to go to a concert of a group or musical, give her this opportunity. Or maybe she is not generous enough to herself and instead of going to a beauty salon she prefers to buy things to her husband, children, grandchildren. Let her pamper herself.

The title indicates only one of the gift options. But no one knows your mom better than you. Therefore, choose the option that is most suitable for her. For example, if you know that mom visits a cosmetologist, then you can purchase a gift certificate for his services.

A universal present will simply be a certificate for a certain amount in one of the beauty salons. Most good firms provide this service. Even if a woman does not resort to the services of makeup artists, cosmetologists, eyebrows, even she will not refuse a good manicure and pedicure.

Specialists in the salon can also choose a hair restoration program. After all, their condition is negatively affected daily by bad ecology, stress and other factors.

A great gift will be a set of quality cosmetics. But it is worth knowing in advance whether she is allergic to certain components. If in doubt, then pay attention to hypoallergenic rulers. Like any other high-quality thing, good makeup is not cheap. But do not choose very expensive options. Mom may really like this product, but she will not be able to purchase it in the future.

Pay special attention to the design of the gift. In stores, you can be offered ready-made options for holiday packaging, but you can make it yourself.

Remember when in the hustle and bustle of everyday worries, mom allowed herself a trip to the theater. Visit a theater or opera in your city. Perhaps in the near future the arrival of the famous troupe or an interesting production is expected. Think about the fact that mom did not go there all alone. To do this, you must purchase a ticket for yourself or for your spouse.

Today, less and less people began to print photos. And remember how nice it is to turn the pages of photo albums and relive the pleasant moments. Digital media is very convenient. But there is a huge emotional difference between viewing frames on a computer and in a photo album.

You can give a completely filled photo album. After all, your parents did not so often begin to print photos. Gather a good selection of where you are in the photo with them. You can also put general photos with grandchildren and relatives there.

Do not forget about the individual characteristics and preferences of mom. Perhaps she will be very interested in attending some kind of master class. You can easily find such options even in a small city, since recently they have been very popular.

This can be knitting, sports or embroidery. such themed gifts always hit the mark.

But you should not offer your mother too extravagant or extreme options. This is especially true for women of advanced age. A gym membership may not be necessary due to health conditions. Also, a slip can be the purchase of a ticket to an exhibition of contemporary art. Everyone interprets it in their own way. And whether such an original improvisation of classical values ​​will appeal to the older generation is a big question.

Choosing a gift for mom is not an easy task. My beloved and dearest person wants to give all the best, but there are not always funds for this. Remember that your attention and care is the best reward for any mom. Show your imagination and make sure that a smile certainly appears on her face. And you can do this with a minimum of funds in your wallet.
