Everyone loves the New Year holidays - from young to old, and therefore they prepare for them responsibly and in advance. Congratulations to all family members are an important part of the celebration, especially when there are brothers or sisters. To please your beloved brother, you need to choose the right surprise for him, and this is a very difficult task. To cope with it, you need to know the hobbies, interests of the brother, and also do not forget about his age.
Presentation Requirements
In order for a gift for the New Year to please his brother, it is important to start preparing for the holiday in advance. The most important will be the age in relation to which surprises will be selected. The younger the brother, the easier it is to buy something pleasant, because a small child will accept everything and will be sincerely glad. But the more adult will have to please, as their interests and tastes appear.
The best gift is one that was made from the heart, with a sincere desire to please a loved one. Choosing the right option, it is important to consider not your interests, but the wishes of the person to whom the gift is intended.
An important quality of purchased products should be their quality. Children should give only certified products, and adults are strong and reliable.
To make the gift look interesting and original, it is necessary to pack it beautifully, using wrapping paper or other material for this. Appearance design must match the addressee. Since the recipient is a brother, pink shades, flowers and hearts will not be very relevant. It is also not worthwhile to pack the contents very tightly, especially if a small child opens it, because a long unpacking process can bring down the mood and reduce the effectiveness of the gift itself.
In addition to the fact that the New Year's present should be relevant, desirable or necessary, it is important to know about those things that are not accepted for giving or those that will be perceived ambiguously. Family members can afford to give almost everything, but there are those options that will be left without due attention.
Everyone wants his surprise to be appreciated, because you should know what to choose for a gift, and what should be discarded.
We take into account the age of the brother
A family can have several children, and the older they get, the more actively they look for gifts for the holidays for each other. If the oldest child still does not earn money himself, then the question of choosing a gift for the youngest is decided together with the parents. For adult brothers or sisters, this is not necessary, the choice becomes much more. In connection with the expansion of opportunities, a new problem arises - how to choose a gift so that it will be to your liking and pleased your brother for the New Year.
The most important factor will be the age of the recipient, gift options for the baby and the adult are radically different, therefore this issue needs to be given special attention. The degree of kinship also deserves special mention, since a brother can be a family, half-married, cousin, as well as a brother of a husband or wife. This moment also affects the selection of New Year's surprise.
To choose the right gift, it is worth highlighting the main age framework of the recipient:
- a newborn child who is from birth to 1 year;
- baby - from a year to 3 years;
- preschool age - from 3 to 6 years;
- primary school age - from 7 to 10 years;
- adolescence - from 11 to 15 years;
- Senior school age - from 16 to 18 years;
- student age - from 18 to 23 years old;
- youth - from 23 to 30 years old;
- adult age - 30-50 years;
- old age - from 50 onwards.
Each of the stages is characterized by certain interests and hobbies, based on which you can choose the right New Year present. The more time you devote to preparation, the more chances to present exactly what your sibling needs.
Little
If the brother is still very small, then the list of gifts for him will be quite large, especially given the rapidly growing market for children's products.
- Rattles. The brighter they are, the better. Non-standard goods in shape, size and texture are a good option. The main factor affecting the choice should be the quality of the product, its strength, since the kids often pull everything in their mouths, and the flimsy toy can break, its parts can get into the nose or mouth of the child, which is very dangerous.
- Educational toys: pyramid, cubes, ball, machine. It will be interesting for a child up to a year to get acquainted with objects of various shapes and sizes. In this case, special attention is also paid to the quality certificates of children's products.
- Teether. Toddlers up to a year may need a device that facilitates teething. In order for the baby to use it with pleasure, the device is often made in the form of a toy that fits comfortably in the hand and helps to scratch the gums, which itch a lot until the teeth appear.
- Clothes, cute suits, overalls, sets are unlikely to be appreciated by the baby himself, but this gift will appeal to parents, and their praise and approval are also important. Choosing such a gift, it is worth paying attention to the material from which this or that thing is made. It is best to buy natural cotton products that will not cause allergic reactions.
- A toy for a stroller may take the form of a stretched elastic with figures or a separate toy that is attached to the vehicle. A kid on the street can behave differently, because the presence of a distracting product will be very handy.
You can give the younger brother who goes to kindergarten much more, because he already understands a lot and has certain preferences. Among the most suitable options are the following.
- Cars. They can be of different sizes, from small to very large. Transport can be simple, inertial, run on batteries on the control panel.
- Constructor. For preschoolers, large parts that are easily connected with each other will be most suitable, with their help you can create various structures. An excellent option would be a magnetic constructor, the details of which are attached to each other using magnetic attraction.
- Toys it is best to give developing instances, moving, burning, singing, so that the brother quickly mastered new skills and developed correctly.
- Other vehicles: airplanes, helicopters, rockets, tanks, motorcycles.
- Beautiful things, costumes, pajamas with your favorite cartoon characters.
There may be a lot of options, but it is worth paying special attention to the quality of each product so that it does not break, is not toxic and does not stain the skin of the child. If we talk about a gift for a brother of primary and secondary school age, the list of suitable presentations will begin to change significantly. Among the most relevant options are:
- race track with cars without control and on control;
- board games: football, hockey;
- video games
- books of your favorite subject;
- sports backpack;
- the clothes that his brother dreamed of: a branded T-shirt, a suit of his beloved football team, etc .;

- mobile phone.
At this age, it is important to just please with a gift of interest, so as not to offend the brother and present exactly what he wanted.
Teenager
The most difficult for both parents and siblings is the teenage period, where values and ideals change, hormones are activated, which significantly affects behavior.

Adult
It’s easy to choose a New Year’s present for an older brother, because everything that a younger sister will give will be pleasant and touching.

Worst options
Choosing a New Year's gift for someone will be a simple and unobtrusive occupation, and for some it can turn into a real hard labor, without a comforting final result. Choosing something pleasant, it is worth considering whether the presented thing will be needed and pleasant, whether it will offend his brother and disappoint. Among the most unfavorable gifts, it is worth highlighting such.
- Underwear in the form of underpants or ordinary socks, which the brother himself is able to buy, based on his taste and preferences.
- Useless things: key rings, simple photo frames, decorative animal figurines, etc.
- Products that are not suitable for age are either too complex or, conversely, primitive.
- Defective goods with obvious defects or requiring alterations.
- Gifts that will hint at some kind of health problem.
- Stuffed animals toys that are often not given to boys.
- Animals, if not asked for. In this case, they will become a burden.
- A symbolic present in which a certain stinginess of the donor is felt.
- Too expensive gift, which obliges in response to present something equally worthwhile, for which there is not always money.
- Things that are not related to hobbies of a brother, but characterizing the one who gives them.
A cousin should also present something for the holiday, but the size and value of the gift will be governed by the proximity in the relationship. In the case of great sympathy and intimacy, you can please something pleasant, as for a sibling. If the relationship is pretty cool, then something thematic will be enough. In the case of a very distant relationship, a simple congratulation on the phone or a postcard sent over the Internet is quite enough, because the main thing is attention.
There are not many New Year gifts, however, you should not buy a whole bunch of surprises for your brother, you should buy 1-2 good, desired presentations and see a fire in your eyes and a sea of joy than picking up a dozen unnecessary little things that will not pay off in the end. Good gifts will oblige the brother to smash his own head for a return presentation.
Although the choice can sometimes be quite difficult, the search for what will make a loved one happy is in itself a pleasant experience.
