What to give father in law for New Year?

Buying gifts for loved ones on New Year's Eve is a very interesting and joyful activity, because giving gifts is much more pleasant than receiving them. However, this is a very difficult matter, especially when it comes to people whose taste preferences have not yet been studied very well by you. For example, if a woman who recently married or recently met the parents of her groom has to independently purchase a gift for her father-in-law for the New Year, then in this matter she may encounter certain difficulties.

First of all, choosing a gift for the father-in-law, you need to remember the occasion for congratulations. Of course, a New Year’s gift should be set to a festive mood, to please or may amaze. Therefore, you can first of all look at thematic souvenirs, such as:

• Christmas ball - This is always an appropriate gift for the New Year even to a not very familiar person, whom father-in-law is very often.
• Holiday or winter sweater - A very successful gift for both an elderly man and a young man. Everyone wears a similar thing (except for residents of tropical latitudes).
• Set for making mulled wine - a very original and necessary gift to a person who understands a lot about this drink. If your husband’s parents consider themselves fans of wine, you can safely present this nice little thing to them on New Year's Eve.
• Basket of Christmas sweets. Sweets are loved not only by children, but also by adult men. In the end, it is a standard and almost win-win sign of attention, which is appropriate to show in any situation. If your father-in-law is an ardent opponent of glucose, then instead of sweets, you can put meat and sausages in a basket.
• Hockey tickets (football, tennis, volleyball, etc.) - great solution. Ask your spouse what kind of sport his father is fond of. If he does not like sports at all, then give him a similar gift in accordance with his preferences (a ticket to the theater, opera, exhibition, New Year's event, etc.).
• Mug with the symbol of the New Year - pretty budget New Year's souvenir. This thing will never be superfluous in everyday life. But the main thing is to buy a mug in accordance with the tastes of the father-in-law, because making such a seemingly unpretentious gift, you can not guess with the choice and disappoint your spouse's father, pretty spoiling your mood.

Before the New Year, very few of us do not have a budget deficit, because we need to “get our hands on” the holiday, and at the same time buy a whole bunch of gifts for relatives and friends. Therefore, buying a gift for my husband’s dad, I would like to choose something useful, original, and as inexpensive as possible. There are a lot of similar ideas.

• Book. Whatever you say, but this is really the best gift. If your father-in-law is intellectual, then he will certainly be happy with this gift.
• Convenient lunch box for lunch. This thing is sure to come in handy for your husband’s father, especially if he hasn’t retired yet.
• Leather wallet. Practical, necessary and at the same time status gift.
• Convenient diary or card holder. For a business adult, that’s it.
• Air freshener in the car. If your father-in-law is a motorist, then he will definitely like this gift.
• Trunk Organizer. Again, the right thing that men for some reason do not buy for themselves.
• Snow scraper glove. In our country, this thing is almost indispensable.
• Fishing equipment. If your father-in-law is a fisherman, he will remember you with gratitude long after the New Year, because for many men fishing is a real passion.
• Smokehouse for fish. If your relative is a fisherman and lives outside the city, then a similar gift will come in handy for him and his wife.
• Hunting knife. Again, if the father-in-law is an avid hunter, you can present him with some of the hunting equipment.
• A belt, vest or slippers made of sheep wool. If your father-in-law does not like to get younger and periodically suffers from back pain, then this present will surely make him very happy. In this way, you will show him that you care about his health.
• A warm sweater. A wonderful gift, you only need to ask your spouse what size clothes his father wears.
• Poker set. An avid gambler will be very flattered by such attention to his hobby.
• Exclusive checkers, chess or backgammon. For fans of the game, this will be a very valuable gift.
• A bottle of good alcoholic drink in a festive package. This is probably the most popular gift women give to male relatives. When choosing this idea, you will never lose.
• A box of cigars or a pipe. It’s better not to save here. A connoisseur will definitely distinguish a quality product from a cheap surrogate, and if the father-in-law does not suit any characteristic of a cigar or tube, then he can simply refuse to use them or just give someone your present.
• Accessories for the bath. Nowadays, there is a wide range of products of this orientation.
• Sports simulator. If the father-in-law complains about being overweight, then presenting a similar gift, you can help him get in shape and improve his health.

As you know, everyone has their own taste, however, the New Year's present should be at least a little original and exclusive. You can attract children to create an interesting gift, because joint creative work improves the climate in the family and helps to generate fresh ideas.

In addition, the father-in-law will be very pleased to know that almost his entire family was involved in the preparation of the gift for him. There are a lot of ideas for original gifts, from making a handbinder with family photos or an unusual figurine (symbol of the coming year) to a portrait of a father-in-law.

Another unusual idea for a Christmas present for father: a pack of expensive tea and a mug that depicts grandchildren or a mother-in-law. If you have minimal artistic skills, you can try to make an album yourself, in which the most significant events of the year will be marked. As a decor, you can use beautiful stickers, photographs or drawings.

Another original version of a gift for the New Year is a package from Santa Claus. Who said that he brings gifts exclusively to children who behaved well throughout the year? You can put things in a box that are not very expensive, but practical. First of all, they must adhere to a certain topic, for example, maintaining the immune system. An approximate list of things: vitamin complex, fruits, scarf, warm socks, dumbbells, pool membership.

If you are financially constrained or you want to make it original, besides you have a lot of free time, then you can try to make a father-in-law for the New Year a gift with your own hands. By the way, now handmade gifts are very popular. In addition, if your husband’s father is a wealthy person, then it will be difficult to hit him with something acquired in the store.

Home-made presents for parents are a good option for young spouses who cannot spend big money on buying an expensive gift. If you know how to knit, then you will be able to present a sweater or a handmade scarf for the holiday.

If your father-in-law lives alone, then a festive dinner prepared by his daughter-in-law will be a good gift for the New Year holiday. And it doesn’t matter if he is able to cook his own food. The main thing is that in this way you can take care of your relative.

It is possible that you want to wish your husband's parents a happy New Year with a common gift. This will help you save money, after all, one gift is less than two. In addition, such a gift will help emphasize your attitude towards them as a single organism, and this can flatter them, especially those who are greedy for such gestures of the mother-in-law. A good choice could be some useful household item for example, an original night lamp, a coffee table with a beautiful carved pattern, a retro-style chest of drawers, a high-quality heater.

Also a good gift would be an expensive set of double bedding, a wide fleece blanket, feather pillows, etc. If your spouse's father and mother are lovers of outdoor recreation, then you will not lose out on holiday cottage supplies in the form of a gift. This can be a deck chair, barbecue, swing, hammock, decoration for flower beds, etc.
