The choice of New Year's gifts for a young man often becomes an unbearable burden for many girls. It is worth considering how to make the gift seem interesting, beautiful and appropriate at the same time. In this article, we will tell you about the most interesting gift ideas for a guy for the New Year, as well as give tips on their choice.

There is no optimal gift that every guy would be happy with - this should be understood at the very beginning. Each gift should be treated individually, trying to put yourself in the place of your young man. It is worth considering the list of recommended gifts depending on your boyfriend’s hobbies.

It is sometimes difficult for an athlete guy to choose a suitable gift, because if he has been doing something for a long time and seriously, most likely he has already acquired everything he needs. Your task is to discreetly find out exactly what accessories he needs most of all now. As a rule, real professionals often dream out loud about such things. Let's take a closer look at the successful gift options that you can give to a sports guy.

• If the guy is a cyclist, then the ideal option would be functional Bicycle tracker or speedometer to measure current speed and external temperature. A good gift can be a beautiful and unusual water bottle, a powerful lamp for night trips, a bicycle care kit or good sunglasses with suppression of sun glare.

• If a guy is involved in regular jogging sports, he can come in handy. high-quality breathable thermal underwear. For regular jogging in the winter, he will definitely need a special headgear or mask, comfortable and warm running gloves, wristbands.

• For a lover of strength training, various gifts may be suitable. dumbbells, pancakes, sports pears, special gloves. Here they can look good preparations for sports nutritionfor example, a good and expensive protein.

• A universal option for every athlete guy will be convenient and functional fitness tracker, which can track your current heart rate, pressure, and steps taken during the day.

If a guy does not engage in any of the above sports, you should go to a sports store and consult with a sales assistant, which sports equipment might suit your young man. Try to spell out your boyfriend’s sporting preferences in detail. A gift for a sporting young man does not have to be material in nature. You can consider the following gifts:

• if he wants to get to a future tournament or match of his favorite team, please him with the purchase of tickets to good places;
• perhaps your friend has repeatedly expressed his desire to enroll in a gym for training, in which case buy a subscription;
• Any experienced athlete understands the benefits of regular massage, so a good option would be to buy a subscription to a sports massage course somewhere close to home.

Choosing a gift for a young man or a man who is seriously engaged in fishing or hunting is a rather complicated process. Often girls are poorly aware of the features of a particular male hobby, and therefore refuse such gifts in favor of the well-known classics in the form of underpants and cologne.

However, let's still figure out what can be really useful for such guys. Immediately try to discard those things and accessories that are of a general universal nature for outdoor recreation. They will be considered on the gift list for travel enthusiasts.

It’s worth immediately abandoning the purchase of decorative elements that somehow depict the husband’s hobbies. This includes various coasters in the form of some kind of fish, models and stuffed pikes and other large rubles. For a guy who spends most of his free time outside the home, this will be a completely useless gift.

The gift list for a young fishing enthusiast is quite long. These are all kinds of fishing rods, spinning rods, nets, wading boots, reels, fishing lines, wobblers and spinners, universal fishing kits with a huge number of tools for each occasion.

The subtlety of the selection is to buy something really necessary. It is worthwhile to find out from him in advance what kind of fishing he is fond of, what tools he currently lacks. Otherwise, it may turn out that he likes to catch predatory fish with the help of spinning, and you will buy him an item or accessory for fishing “fly fishing”.

Guys, keen on hunting, urgently need elements of warm clothes and devices for orientation on the ground. This is ideal for camouflage suits, navigators, cases and sets for cleaning guns, special rocket launchers. Various sets for the traveler will look great here, which will be discussed a little later.

To understand what kind of belonging a young man needs right now, try to ask him about his hobby. More often listen to what the guy says after the hunt or fishing. As a rule, the problematic moments of an acute lack of something immediately emerge. Maybe he lost a lure dear to him, a knife, or broke a reel.

A car is a complex organism with a million individual elements, so choosing a gift for a guy who is fond of the car and everything connected with it is quite simple. As a rule, a machine constantly needs some kind of care and replacement of certain accessories for which any person may not always have the means.

Try to ask the guy how he is doing with the car, if everything is working properly, maybe there are some problems. This, most likely, will bring you closer, and in addition you will also learn about the problematic and missing parts in the car - men talk about this especially persistently and often.

• Modern car - a mechanism that works more on electronic devices and commands, so at the very beginning it is worth considering the purchase of various electronic accessories that can make life easier for any motorist - these are navigators, DVRs, radio tape recorders. When buying such gifts, you should be extremely careful.

• Semi-decorative interior items - Your next step towards choosing a gift. These include seat covers, foot mats, heated covers, auto massagers, relaxers, car cushions. This also includes small elements of the interior such as cleaning products, shading nets, thermomugs. It is better to give small things in a set, since individually they do not look solid, each motorist is able to buy them at any time.

• Purely decorative elements - a cover for documents, toys in the passenger compartment, fragrances.

• You can please your boyfriend a subscription or a session for cleaning and washing a car, or buy him a card at a good discount at his favorite car dealership.

• A regular car kit would also be a good option. It is useful to any car enthusiast who is going to travel long distances.

Intellectuals are young people who prefer to spend most of their time reading books or studying some new hypotheses, theories, versions.

Let's see what gifts are best for these guys.

• No matter how trite it may sound, but a book is often the best gift for such a person. This, of course, is not just about a book, but about a part of some collector's edition, about a rare printed copy of your young man’s favorite poet or writer. Or it may just be an expensive book with many useful articles, equations or theorems on a particular topic.
• If not a printed book, then electronic. This option is better because at the same time you can carry not 5 or 7 books with you, but only one record weighing half a kilogram, while with the actual content in the whole library.Such books are inexpensive, easy to manage. They can be found in any store with gadgets.
• The gift may be immaterial. You can buy your boyfriend a ticket to a lecture of a famous scientist or linguist, whom your young man has been fond of for a long time. Alternatively, you can buy him a six-month subscription to the Internet library with a large selection of books and with high-quality translation.
• So that the gift is from the heart, you can independently make a cover for your favorite person’s favorite book. This will surely please him.

Here, the choice of a gift is very dependent on your boyfriend’s current hobby. Depending on his interests, the following list of gifts may be changed and adjusted. Remember only one thing - such people do not tolerate one-sided, banal and mediocre gifts. They, of course, will not give the appearance that they are upset, but most likely they will remain internally unhappy that their rich inner world has been ignored.

• The very first thing that may come to your mind is ticket or invitation to a concert of your favorite singer, band, composer.

• If your boyfriend’s hobbies are related to visual, vocal or rhetorical art, then it’s worthwhile to acquire subscription to master classes at some well-known authority in the industry.

• Things that are directly related to the creativity of a young man. For an artist, this can be a set of high-quality brushes, paints, canvases, perhaps an easel. For the vocalist - elements of clothing, cufflinks, an interesting tie, an unusual belt. For a musician, it can be various instruments, for example, a new guitar. For a guy who is actively involved in dancing, you can buy some funny figurine in the form of a dancing person. To this it will be useful to add a personal inscription with the name of your boyfriend.

Giving a gift to a young man who is seriously interested in computers and gadgets is problematic. In order for the gift to be useful and appropriate, it is advisable to at least a little understanding of this yourself. In any case, digital gifts always remain relevant, so below you will find a list of items that your gadget lover should like one way or another.

• A fashionable and popular gadget is now considered bluetooth headphones. These are headphones that do not need a special wire to connect to the phone. They can be controlled remotely within 10-12 meters, depending on the model. Imagine that you went to the kitchen with headphones to cook something, but there’s nowhere to put the phone.

• Selfie stick, as well as a selfie button with bluetooth for a complete set. The first allows you to place the phone at the right distance from the face to find a better angle, and the second - do not reach for the phone to take a picture.

• Case for phone can be a good help in relation to all gifts, if made in some unusual and unique design

• Power bank - An indispensable thing for those who like to sit on the phone for a long time. It allows you to connect the phone to a drive capable of fully charging a smartphone several times depending on the battery size.

• Memory card or flash card. To make the gift seem solid, you should choose a card with a memory capacity of at least 16 or 32 gigabytes.

• If you can afford to buy more than 10 thousand rubles, you should think about the present as SSD, new processor, motherboard or RAM for computer. These gifts are worth buying only if your young man has repeatedly spoken about their need.

• For a novice blogger or streamer, almost the best gift would be a special computer chair or headphones with a good microphone and sound.

• For an avid gamer, a cool gift will be a keyboard, mouse (possibly wireless) and a backlit system case.

• Gadgets - This is not only computers and phones, but also cameras. For a guy who is actively involved in photography, a volume external drive, a power bank for quickly charging the camera, a quality tripod with stable and long legs, and a camera holder are suitable. If you yourself are versed in the topic of photographing and are willing to spend more than 6,000 rubles - you can think about buying a flash for the camera.

A gift for a traveler guy should be not so much unique as incredibly practical and useful. Immediately refuse gifts in the form of decorative elements for the home. People who love nature and are not able to sit still immediately forget about such a present and go planning a trip somewhere to a new, unknown place. Below you can find an approximate list of things that may be appropriate in this case.

• It is worth starting with a review of electronic and digital gadgets. They replace most of the standard accessories for every traveler. This is a GPS navigator with a map base, a digital compass, a fitness watch for tracking the number of steps and the temperature of the environment, a powerful flashlight with replaceable batteries, a gas burner for cooking.

• Try to find out from the guy what set of tools he uses on his trips and travels. Then you can conclude what exactly he may need. It can be a volume thermos with high-quality heat retention, a universal set of camping dishes, a multitool or a multifunctional knife, a beautiful and convenient flask, a lighter with a cool and unusual design, a warm and comfortable folding chair.

• Devices and sets of devices for cooking: barbecue, barbecue.

• clothing - Not at all the last item on this list. This includes thermal underwear sets, sleeping bags, warm socks, functional mittens with the ability to open only fingers, a warm hat.

• It’s not necessary to give something tangible to guys who love traveling. If we are talking about your beloved young man or long-time friend, think about buying a ticket to any place with mountains, trails and rivers. Your boyfriend will most likely be fascinated by such a gift.

• A good option may be a standard set for survival in the wild. It usually includes: a knife, a flask, carbines, a lighter, first aid items.

There are guys for whom the main purpose of life is to serve their country and protect it from internal and external threats. Such young people are hardened by the army, so only the most useful and practical things will be included in the list of successful gifts for them.

• clothing. Since the uniform of any military one has a strictly defined look that cannot be changed much, all you can give in this case is a good army belt, thematic cufflinks or good, warm and comfortable bots.

• Decorative itemsthat a true military could appreciate, not so many. Often these are some souvenirs, figurines, paintings, watches or cases with a military theme.

• Practical stuff, which can not be dispensed with in campaigns: an army kit, a multitool, a thermos, a thermo mug with a military print, an army flask.

If you are going to celebrate New Year in the company of your boyfriend and his acquaintances, the military, perhaps it makes sense to organize a pinball or laser tag session. This will simultaneously give the situation a comic form and amuse all participants.

You can talk endlessly on the theme of original gifts, here your imagination for selecting gifts is practically unlimited. One has only to make sure that the gift at least remotely fits the New Year theme. It is worth paying attention to the following list of possible items that may seem creative and fun for your boyfriend:

• a set of board games for adults;
• funny slippers in the form of a symbol of next year;
• radio-controlled helicopter or machine;
• lighter with an original pattern;
• a sweet gift, for example, a themed cake with the image of your boyfriend;
• costume of Santa Claus;
• T-shirt or T-shirt with some funny print;
• key rings in the form of a symbol of the coming year;
• lava lamp;
• safe piggy bank.

As you can see from the article, there are many gift options. But how in this set to choose exactly the gift that will be the best. Below is an instruction manual for a more accurate approach to choosing a gift for your beloved boyfriend, your young man or groom.

• Some guys can openly hint what exactly they need, so it's easy enough to listen more often to their desires and current interests. If this does not help, then you should turn to your young man’s friends and family for help, they will give you some ideas for buying.
• First, make a list of your boyfriend’s hobbies and interests. Try to isolate the most and least authoritative interests from this list. Work further with those that seem more substantial to you.
• If you have chosen a hobby or occupation that you think is important for your boyfriend, just learn more about it. Read articles on this subject, look through forums, look at sites selling things on this subject. You will find many interesting options.
• To make the choice easier, reduce the list of potential gifts to 2-3 positions.

Further choice of gift will depend on the following items:

1. your financial capabilities;
2. the relevance of the gift in relation to the New Year;
3. practical relevance of individual gifts.

Based on this small test, you can choose the perfect gift. If you are very limited in finances, but still want to please your young man, you can buy him purely symbolic New Year's mittens or hat. This gift looks budgetary, but very nice.

To choose a gift for the unfamiliar guy, you should refuse global and expensive gifts: immediately cross out digital devices, subscriptions for joint sessions somewhere, complex sets of hobbies from your list. The biggest mistake at this stage is to give an absolutely unnecessary gift. In this case, the gift should be more symbolic than practical or useful.

If you have serious plans for this guy, then the best gift would be something made by yourself. This will show the young man that you sympathize with him and are ready to spend not his money on him, but your personal time.

A real gentleman will appreciate such a gift, because to give something that is not needed, but made with your own hands is much better than giving it absolutely useless and bought somewhere in the market for a few rubles. For a friend or friend with whom you rarely communicate, but maintain a relationship, a gift can be a pure formality. Hackneyed, but practical and useful items, such as a shaving kit or hair care product, the same toilet water or key rings, mugs, scarves, are ideal here.

Choosing a gift for an ordinary friend whom you have known for a long time and often spend time together watching a movie or just having a cup of tea or evening walks is a simple task. As a rule, we know our real friends best of all, therefore we are always aware of what they would like.

There are frequent cases when, after the end of a relationship, communication in a pair does not stop and develops into something that can be called friendship. Choosing a gift for an ex-boyfriend depends only on what level you attribute this person to - the level of a friend or acquaintance. Depending on your answer to this question, the price characteristics of the gift and the thoroughness of its selection, of course, will vary.

Making your future gift depends on what effect you want to have on your young man.

Below is a list of possible ways to arrange gifts.

• The easiest but elegant way to pack a gift is buy a beautiful gift box for the size of the present, place the present inside, carefully wrap the box in a gift box, use a decorative ribbon to form a bow from beautiful ribbons at the top of the gift. You can order the package in any gift store, you can even make it for free if the gift was purchased there. You can add a card with the most important words to the big picture.
• To make the gift perceived as a kind of surprise, you should make a box in the form of a nesting doll. So that the gift itself is in the smallest of the packages. This option is only suitable for small gifts.
• A gift inside sweets. In this case, you put the main present inside something larger, but less significant (most often it is a cake). As a result, when the guy gets to the middle, you will get round eyes and a lot of pleasure from a successful surprise.
• Riddle gift. In this case, the design of the gift is not particularly important, execution and idea are important here. All that is required of you is to come up with a line of puzzles and hints, according to which your boyfriend could independently find a gift in some kind of closed room or apartment. This will only spur interest in the search and increase the passions.
• To make the gift as unexpected as possible, can surprise your boyfriend. Just say that you are late at work or that you are stuck in traffic. He will come home upset, and there you are already - waiting for him with a gift, a laid table and hugs.

Finally, let's figure out a list of things that are worth giving only as a last resort. To better understand this problem, try to take the place of this young man and imagine what you least wanted to see. Most likely, this list will immediately include all kinds of shower accessories and household dust collectors, which, in fact, have no practical significance.

Let's take a closer look at those gifts that will give the guy the least pleasure.

• Immediately cross out your underwear and clothing items, such as socks, underpants or pajamas, trowels. This is a standard time-worn gift that causes nothing but disappointment and embarrassment. Gifts of this kind may be appropriate only if they are of a humorous unusual character - for example, socks with a unique print or a set of underpants with a funny pattern. The main thing is that such a gift seemed appropriate for the guy himself.
• Appearance Care Accessories: all kinds of sets of shaving accessories, sprays, gels, foams, styling.This is not to say that such a gift will not be pleasant to any guy. But he can buy all this on his own, and also it has nothing to do with the New Year.
• Small and medium decorative elements like figurines, piggy banks, figurines, table clocks or paintings. All this is perceived by an ordinary guy as the most ordinary dust collector, which he will forget about in a few days. A gift of this type will be successful only if it directly relates to the activities of a young man. For example, if he collects certain figurines from books or games, and you give him the missing. Be sure that the success of such a gift is guaranteed.
• The next common scourge of gifts - soft decorative accessories and toys. These include pillows, soft play elements, bedding such as rugs and bedspreads. All this also has no practical value, therefore it will be safely forgotten in a week.
• It is better not to give toilet water as a gift, even if it is very expensive. The problem is that your tastes in perfumery can vary significantly.
• Cash gift - A controversial gift that not all girls are ready to offer to guys. Such a gift looks appropriate only if you are the sister of a young man or you know him for a long time to understand what money he needs now. If your acquaintance with a guy is only growing in nature, then such a gift may simply not be accepted, as it looks scornfully and will confuse any decent young man.
• Don’t give anything related to the coming year. You can’t imagine a gift worthless for an ordinary guy. After all, the same mug, T-shirt or figurine depicting the symbol of next year will be irrelevant very soon. Such gifts are suitable only as a joke and a joke.
• Don't give too expensive gifts (unless you are in a long relationship). In this case, there is a great chance to simply embarrass the young man. In the same way, you consciously raise the bar for the value of the gift that it should give you at the next opportunity. And if your New Year's gifts are too different in value, an awkward situation may arise.
