A birthday present is a special sign of attention, so you should be very responsible for choosing it. There are things that are not worth giving and those that are sure to bring joy.
What is not worth giving?
Most people have the opinion that any gift can be made for a birthday, because it is not he who is important, but the attention on the part of the person. In fact, this is not true; there is a rather impressive list that is not included in the list of expected gifts. We list some of them.
- Medication. Medicines are not the best gift that can be presented to a person. This is especially true of those situations when they really need them. No need to wait for a birthday for such a purchase, it is more important to understand that health is in the first place, and the purchase of medicines is more a duty of children than a whim. If a person does not need medicine, then the drug will hint to him problems of an external or internal nature, about which he might not have suspected or simply not noticed.
- Animal. It also cannot be a good gift that could be presented to a person, if only he did not dream about it. Any living creature is, first of all, the need to spend their own free time on cleaning, care. In rare cases, as a result, the animal simply suffers or is on the street as unnecessary. You can pay for the purchase if the person has already chosen a friend, but such moments are discussed.
- Socks, personal care products. These things are so commonplace that they are rarely perceived as a presentation, and sometimes even offend. Usually they are purchased in accordance with their own preferences, when they end, but not on their birthday.
- Cowards, underpants. It is considered indecent to give these things, regardless of who presents it. You can not guess with the size or choose an unloved color.
- Bad sign. A handkerchief and a knife are things that superstitious people consider a bad omen as a present. Of course, expensive knives, author's work is not affordable for everyone, so they are presented to the anniversary with the necessary funds. The fact that such a gift will lead to a quarrel is just superstition, like the fact that the clock counts down the clock. To circumvent the omen, you can sell a gift for a ruble to a birthday person.
Selection recommendations
When asked to buy "this thing in this place for this price," the beautiful gift-giving ritual loses its emotional value, and the present becomes a donation. If, when it comes to choosing a gift, a person experiences strong internal resistance associated with worrying about what others will think, it is worthwhile to understand that when giving a thing, the giver pleases himself first.
There is no standard formula or general instruction on how to choose the best present for a girl’s father or boyfriend’s dad, husband for a birthday.
If you have to earn money with great difficulty, maybe a loved one will simply enjoy being around, otherwise the choice of the best gift is, without a doubt, a thoughtful decision.
Which gift is chosen for the holiday depends on various factors:
- age;
- nature of the relationship;
- budget;
- a gift is purchased alone or in a bundle;
- human interests.
From a little daughter or from a son, a present to a father can be more personal, from a girl or a boyfriend a child should be more universal, depersonalized. It’s hard to say which one would be the best, since each has his own preferences, character, and other features.
It is always necessary to take into account the interests of man. This step may be the most difficult, but perhaps the most important.
Anyone would like to get something useful, and you can openly ask dad what thing would be a pleasant surprise for him, or you can ask another person.
You must always clearly regulate the budget. A gift should not be expensive, but also cheap, useless, poorly executed will become a subject of disappointment, will demonstrate a careless attitude to a person.
- Do not compare your gift with others. Some of them can be expensive or modern, the main thing is thought.
- If it's hard to decide it’s better to present a gift card that can be spent in your favorite place.
- It’s worth trying to choose a thing which no one has ever given. Although difficult, it is possible.
- The more knowledge about a person, the easier the choice.
- Sometimes a simple card, given from the bottom of my heart - the perfect gift. You can decorate it yourself with general photos from the magazine.
When choosing a gift for a pensioner or just an elderly person, it should be taken into account that he is unlikely to want to plunge into an extreme trip. It is much more important for such people to support their interest, so any thing related to a hobby will become irreplaceable. No need to give objects that remind of work, that is, the builder of the drill, the shoemaker of the thread and so on. On a holiday, this will only remind you of your responsibilities.
If Dad is an avid sports fan, a T-shirt or T-shirt of his beloved club does not always become the best birthday present. It’s better to think about a season ticket for your favorite team’s games. An innovative and modern solution, however, is suitable only for those whose budget allows such a purchase and those whose father is interested in sports.
In fact, watching your favorite team fight for a place in the Super Bowl will certainly be a memorable gift, memories of which will remain for life.
You can look for a memorabilia that would remind you of a special day. It can be anything, there is a huge selection on the Internet, most of the goods are made to order.
If your father, in general, is not interested in sports, you can consider giving a smartphone, computer, tablet or any other useful gadget. The network has goods at an attractive discount, if the present is expensive, it is easy to negotiate with other family members to buy it together.
There are many more general ideas, you can choose a good book from a previously started series, present a watch, a beautiful flask, a fishing rod.
What can you do yourself?
An easy and simple gift can be made with your own hands, spending money only on the purchase of the necessary materials. This option has two advantages: it can be used when there is not enough money in your pocket, it always shows a special attitude.
In the list of similar things:
- album of memories;
- photo frame with a common photo;
- disk with your favorite songs;
- general vacation record;
- list of reasons why this dad is the best.
You can spend a little more time and make a personalized present - a family tree with photos of family members on it. Such a thing will allow you to feel the unity, will make you feel your worth.. It will be interesting if you leave interesting notes about each person on it.
Photo collage is another inexpensive gift that you can make yourself. Father will be pleased if you combine the most interesting, touching and funny moments in life on one canvas. It is better to collect stories from childhood, school, take some old family photos.
One of the best gifts you can give your father is just to spend time with him or offer his help. If there is hard work ahead, then it is easier to do together. If the holiday is planned for the warmer months, and the anniversary was not planned to be celebrated, then you can organize a small barbecue outdoors, in the courtyard with barbecue.
It is easiest for a coffee lover to make a special drink in the morning by experimenting with different tastes. Let the new fragrance be named after the hero of the anniversary, he will be pleased.
A teenage girl can always make a scarf with her own hands, knit socks. This is another great idea. If you have experience and the necessary knowledge, you can knit him a sweater of your favorite color. With such a creative present you can best emphasize love and affection, and then your father will brag to his colleagues and friends.
Few people use the following accessory, and most outdoor enthusiasts do not even know about its existence - a bag for carrying firewood. It is very easy to create it with your own hands, but it is difficult to find on sale. The advantage of a hand-made product is the choice of design and decoration.
Such an accessory should have a sturdy handle, preferably made of wood. A model is made of canvas, flannel. This is a great gift for any dad who has a wood stove or fireplace in his house. Such a bag allows you to stack firewood inside and calmly carry it to the place of use without getting dirty.
Original ideas
Naturally, it is always nice to receive a present that has been carefully planned to the smallest detail, such as packaging, ribbons, and also permeated with a festive atmosphere.
Many people suggest that the gift should reflect the well-being of the person. Moreover, they believe that it must be expensive, luxurious, “look expensive”. So expensive that you can only afford it once a year. From this point of view, the purpose of the “giving and receiving” ritual is greatly distorted.
Ancestors considered the exchange of gifts with each other as a way to express best wishes, good intentions, love and care. And since then the purpose of the gift has been the same.
Of course, a gift can serve as a material value, but this value should not be the basis for choice.
Take, for example, the fact that money is often chosen as a gift. In fact, no amount can act as a gift, since when buying a thing, they materialize into objects filled with a certain meaning. Money alone does not have a sacred meaning, but is an object of everyday life. Therefore, it is so important to try to get rid of thoughts that the gift is equal to money.
An unusual creative gift to a father is always the best decision from a child, and if such a surprise involves time spent together, it is difficult to value it in monetary terms.
Together, the time spent is certainly the greatest gift of all those that each of us has the power to give to another person. A terrific option is to go camping or fishing, to share a hobby together. A trip to the sea, cycling or sailing, even just watching a movie together, may be interesting.
If a person is accustomed to a more relaxing holiday, his attention is focused on culture, then you should pay attention to the opportunity to visit an interesting gallery, museum or even a sports match. Choosing is the place where a person will definitely enjoy the time spent.
Thinking about what you can give, it’s worth trying to fulfill your father’s dreams. If you can afford an expensive gift, you should give the opportunity to get a new experience. This type of presentation includes riding a race car at a racetrack, parachuting, a hot air balloon ride, piloting an airplane.
Knowing the interests of a person, you can offer him cooking courses, ice climbing, master classes or new instructive courses, perhaps even just a subscription to a trip to the gym, bathhouse or pool.
Always a lot of positive emotions are caused by a meeting with people whom I have not seen for a long time. You can arrange the arrival of an old army buddy, a long-lost school friend, mentor, or someone else your father would like to see.
A painting or other work of art would be an amazing present for the father, if they are in the field of interests.
Another option is a gold medal, which is awarded to a person in appreciation, as a recognition of his merits. This gift may not be one of the cheapest, but it carries a secret meaning. Nice idea to do engraving.
If the father likes to go to sea, to hunt, then as an original gift you can present him with a compass.
You can write a thank you note. Although this gift is not worth the money at all, in fact it is priceless for every parent. The lines should thank the person for what he did, and be sure to clarify how important it was when you felt the support of his father, his care, which made him feel special.
