It’s not customary for a man to give sweets to his birthday; it is believed that a strong half of humanity is indifferent to them. The truth is that both women and men love sweets, they just feel embarrassed to talk about it. You can present the hero of the occasion with a sweet present in a veiled form, presenting it in the form of a flower bouquet of sweets made by yourself. Such a bouquet is also good because after the holiday it can be added to tea drinking.

A candy bouquet will look good on the festive table, creating an atmosphere of warmth and comfort in the room. Small sweets in a shiny wrapper are better for a bouquet; 5 pieces are required per flower.

The product is performed step by step.

1. Sweets are stacked in a bunch (5 pieces), twisted ends of the wrappers on one side are connected with a strong thread or ribbon.
2. The resulting ligament tilts in the opposite direction.
3. A simple or curly straw for cocktail is inserted inside the tightened edges, fixed with a strong thread.
4. The loose wrapping ends of the sweets nicely straighten out.

A bouquet of sweets is placed in a vase, which you can make yourself.

A homemade vase requires a glass bottle with a wide neck, colored threads or twine, PVA glue, scissors, a piece of colored tape.

1. The twine is completely wrapped around the bottle lubricated with glue (the whole bottle is not immediately lubricated, since the glue dries quickly), avoiding gaps.
2. A colored ribbon is tied on the finished product.

A solid sweet present for the birthday man with his own hands can be made in the form of a bouquet of bars with a bottle of cognac.

For work you will need:

• bars with different names (15-20 pcs.);
• a small bottle of cognac;
• wooden skewers 30 centimeters long;
• narrow tape;
• glue, scissors;
• paper for wrapping a bouquet (as an original version you can use a simple newspaper);
• colored tape for tying the package.

The presentation is being prepared in stages.

1. 2 skewers (to the middle) are applied to the back of the bar, which are attached to the chocolate bar with several turns of adhesive tape. Skewers are once again fixed with tape at the base of the product (for durability).
2. Do the same with all bars.
3. On the back of the bottle with cognac is fixed several turns of adhesive tape 4 skewers.
4. The first row of the bouquet is assembled in the form of a fan of the highest bars. The ends of the skewers are assembled and fixed with tape.

6. The sequence of actions is repeated until the last row.
7. The bottle with cognac is located in the third row from the top, attached with skewers with adhesive tape to the bouquet.

A gift for a man can be tied.

People with knitting skills can use this skill to give joy to others. A do-it-yourself thing becomes exclusive, which gives it special value. Knitting masters never puzzle before choosing a gift for loved ones.

Men prefer to wear comfortable things and therefore not everyone likes scarves that crawl all the time. Fashion designers offer a strong half of humanity a scarf collar with no beginning and end, folding eight. The convenience of its use is that it does not need to be constantly corrected: put on, straightened - and that’s all. DIY snood is a great birthday present for a friend.

Men's snood looks great with any outerwear, can be combined with a color with a jumper or have different tones depending on the preference of the man. When choosing a material for knitting a snood, attention is paid to the composition of the yarn. It is of three types:

• wool (natural fiber);
• wool mixture (with the addition of artificial fiber);
• acrylic (artificial).

The yarn consists of natural fiber, the knitted thing of pure wool retains heat well, creates a feeling of comfort. The disadvantage of such a thread is that the products from it do not hold well, stretch, shrink after washing, and spools appear on them over time.

The composition of the yarn includes natural and artificial fibers. The added artificial thread helps the product maintain its shape after washing, increases its light fastness. Wool things are considered relatively warm.

Yarn contains only artificial thread. The things connected from it have a beautiful appearance, retain their shape and color after washing, create a feeling of comfort.

In cold weather, women use a scarf collar as a scarf. Due to the impossibility of using this technique by a strong half of humanity, you can add a knitted accessory in the form of a cap-cap to the snood. A DIY kit will pretend to be the most beloved item in a man’s wardrobe.

Choosing a birthday present for a man is not an easy task. Socks, shaving foam, shower gel look corny, and too expensive presents in the form of gold cufflinks are not affordable for everyone. A good option for a birthday present is even a small amount.

Money is placed in a large 3-liter glass jar, rolled up with a real lid. The birthday boy is invited to keep his savings in the most reliable bank. Labels with inscriptions - “dried greens”, “cauliflower” are hung on smaller cans. They put money in the corresponding colors of the inscriptions. Not a single birthday person will refuse such gifts.

Gift shops sell groovy hens that "carry" eggs that mimic real ones. You need to buy 3-5 hens, the eggs are painted in golden color, dried, placed inside the toys. Chickens are launched by a special lever. Running on the surface under the built-in musical accompaniment, they “lay golden” eggs.

Strong yarns of different lengths are tied to the spokes of the opened umbrella, the ends of the threads are attached to the banknotes with a narrow tape or needle so as not to damage them. An umbrella is presented with a surprise to the birthday man with the wishes of an inexhaustible “money rain” in his life.

An ordinary ceramic flower pot is filled with sand or a soil mixture. On a branch torn from any tree with narrow tape, banknotes are attached. The shape of the branch should resemble a small tree. A branch with banknotes has not yet landed in a pot, but is stored in a bag.

A birthday man is brought a pot of earth, asked to bury 5 coins, say 3 magic words - “kreks, peks, feks”, water and wait for the harvest. The pot is carried away to another room, after some time a branch with banknotes is imperceptibly landed in it.

Mandatory attributes of the holiday are homemade funny posters, cards, wall newspapers.

Words of gratitude and respect for the birthday person can be placed in a home-made certificate of honor placed in a real frame with glass to give solemnity. The listed merits of the hero of the occasion may be as follows:

• “You are a reliable friend and a wonderful person”;
• “You will always help if necessary”;
• “It's nice to spend time with you”;
• “You always look beautiful”;
• "Find the right words of comfort in difficult times."

On a large sheet of whatman paper are placed the figures of famous characters like Spider-Man, Iron Man, Rambo, all who are told by fantasy.

A sheet of Whatman paper is hung on the wall, and guests present are asked to leave an autograph on it with a wish for the hero of the occasion. Autographs and wishes are placed in a chaotic manner. After the holiday, the poster is neatly folded into a roll and removed on the mezzanine. A handwritten creation in moments of sadness can sometimes be accessed and re-read.

An unusual garland of stars, hearts, flowers, made by yourself, will revive the atmosphere of the holiday and cheer up those present. The original craft will not leave indifferent the heart of the birthday man. For its manufacture you will need:

• colored paper (double-sided);
• double-sided tape;
• scissors;
• threads
• hand needles or a sewing machine;
• paper clips.

Work on the craft is performed sequentially:

1. from thick cardboard make the necessary templates;
2. from colored double-sided paper, cut out with the help of templates the necessary number of parts for a garland;
3. using a sewing machine (if it is not, then manually) connect the flowers, asterisks and hearts in a garland, leaving a distance of 8-10 centimeters between them;
4. tie a knot at the end of a long thread, fasten a heart-shaped clip on it;
5. glue the finished garlands with tape to the ceiling of the room in different places.
