The selection of gifts for professionals in different fields is both simple and complex. It’s simple because the main sentences are “obvious”, but complicated because it’s hard to make the right decision. Therefore, it is very important to know what to give to the same builders, focusing on the recommendations of knowledgeable people.
Choosing gifts for Builder's Day
A professional holiday seems like a good occasion to give some kind of themed item. But here you need a lot of tact and attention. Many people systematically receive just such presents, and, in the end, it is very tiring. A feeling of uniformity may appear. But nevertheless, it is worth it first to analyze thematic solutions.
Employees in the construction industry for a professional holiday are sometimes given tool kits. It should be remembered that such a surprise is suitable mainly for beginners. Professionals with experience are guaranteed to have a suitable kit, which they have already picked up themselves. If we talk about practical gifts for the day of the builder, then perhaps the best option could be a helmet. Especially if it is decorated with the original motto - "Do not stand under the weight of problems" or some other funny phrase.
A good choice will be themed poster. It is prepared with your own hands or ordered at a print shop. In the second case, you will have to pay maximum attention to thinking through the concept of the poster. The template solution is unlikely to please anyone. If this solution in principle does not fit, you can try to make a model of a building.
Other souvenirs deserve attention. For example, “Building” chess or another board game. A suitable plot in it is representatives of various construction professions, waging a tense struggle with building materials and structural elements. A complete set of elements is selected individually. An exclusive set of figures will appeal even to those who are already tired of other thematic surprises.
The gift for the Day of the builder is also important to present correctly. A good idea would be an improvised cache of bricks, inside which the desired item is placed. The gifted will no longer have to build up, but carefully dismantle the “construction”, otherwise they won’t get to the surprise.
An atypical table setting will be another good gift. This may be the layout of dishes in the form:
- towers;
- tower crane;
- high house;
- architectural landmarks.
Returning to business surprises, it is worth mentioning a set of stationery. The best option is a notebook (or notebook), pens and pencils. But it should be remembered that very cheap options will not work.
A good choice could be elegant wallet. Although it is already being picked up rather than as a surprise, but together with the addressees themselves, taking into account their tastes.
To emphasize the importance of man for himself and at the same time solve a practically important task will help pencil sets. With their help, you can quickly sketch sketches, capture and thereby save your thoughts. Such a gift can be safely given:
- to designers;
- Architects
- construction designers;
- civil engineers;
- communications professionals.
Yes, there is a place for such sets even in everyday life. But ordinary bricklayers, crane operators, concrete workers, or even foremen, are unlikely to like them. What exactly unites professionals in the construction industry, regardless of profile, is that they need to relax periodically. Indeed, this activity is characterized by tension and greatly tires even enthusiastic people.
Therefore, "rock gardens" or other accessories for relaxation deserve attention. Such a surprise should be given not only to relatives, friends, but also to colleagues or subordinates.
And also to relieve stress symbolic sets of chocolate "tools". For a person who is really keen on construction, and not just engaged in it, for material reasons, a person will need Lego sets. With their help, it will also be possible to create visual models of future buildings. And for “rolling in” various options, for a creative search for a designer, this solution is almost perfect.
A very good option: it’s unobtrusive to find out if a tool has broken, and it’s exactly what to give it. A builder is a person who, by definition, appreciates practicality and does not like too much unsuccessful, useless things. Therefore, it is advisable to consult with them. It is better to lose the opportunity to make a surprise than to make a mistake. To exclude it, you can focus not on the main occupation, but on extraneous hobbies of the recipients.
What to give for a birthday?
A logical gift for a builder celebrating a birthday or anniversary can be training courses or some other training program. Important: if you know that a person is very busy now, or soon his workload will increase, it is appropriate to pay attention to specialized literature. You can get to know her almost without interruption from the main activity. In order not to buy what is already known to the addressee, you should familiarize yourself with its library. Even better is to pay for a subscription to a specialized magazine, there will definitely be fresh information there.
It is useful for any people who are often at a construction site to purchase workwear. After all, they are constantly in contact with dirt and are even at risk. But it is worth considering that a birthday is clearly a less formal holiday than a Builder's Day. Therefore, you can focus on objects with unusual features. They may well have a practical role - as is the case with a table lamp resembling a skyscraper or a tower crane.
A lot and fruitfully worked people must rest. Therefore, gifts such as:
- permits to the sanatorium;
- vouchers for the resort;
- parachuting or flying in a wind tunnel;
- membership in the pool, in the gym;
- Ballooning
- excursion to remarkable places nearby;
- visiting Turkish, other exotic baths.
To improve mood can be used small sculptures of thematic content. Sometimes it’s enough to give one or several figures, and soon the birthday man himself will begin to collect the collection. A good alternative could be three-dimensional puzzles. Using them, it is easy to embody creative abilities and develop logic. So that the builder can be in touch all the time and not risk a mobile phone, he should give wrist holder.
Since the construction site often lacks electrical outlets, it will be useful to give solar powered chargers. Builders who value humor will love it helmet with holders for cans. And to eat calmly even in the workplace, they’ll come in handy lunch boxes, thermo mugs and thermoses.
Important: donating plastic food containers is undesirable. This is a frankly cheap gift that looks more like an attempt to get rid of a person.
In their free time, builders will be happy to play a board game. It will come in handy during the break, and at home in the evenings or on the day off. And also it is worth considering the option with “tasty” presents, such as:
- box of chocolates of the original type;
- elite alcohol;
- a set of expensive tea or coffee.
Very often, builders have to work outdoors. Therefore, in wet weather raincoats come in handy, and in frosts - thermal underwear. The same accessories will help out in everyday life, and on the way to work or back.
But there is another option: donation of tickets to the cinema, theater, sporting events or concerts. The main thing is to know what exactly the recipient likes (or may like).
What to present for the New Year?
New Year's holidays are just the time when the builder can relax and get maximum pleasure, feel freedom. At this time, as well as for a birthday, it may come in handy:
- vouchers;
- tickets for various entertainment events;
- excursions and educational programs.
It will be best if you order them for two or for a family. Then get real family leisure. Any organization engaged in the same excursions can order a certificate with an open date.
Therefore, the selection of a suitable solution is greatly simplified. It will turn out at the same time to make a surprise and not incur extra costs.
But some people want to spend time at home, and not go somewhere on the road in the middle of the holidays. Therefore, it is useful to consider another option - household appliances and electronics. If a person has an old phone, tablet - replacing gadgets with more modern ones suggests itself. If you have the money, you can also purchase a laptop or netbook, a camera, a video camera. It’s worth considering giving art book.
The cost of such a presentation can vary greatly. It is not necessary (although desirable) to purchase a gift edition. The main thing is that the gift be picked up well and should be to the taste of the person presented to him. Returning to electronic presentations, it is worth pointing to the following options, such as:
- external hard drive or other drive;
- large capacity decorative flash drive;
- elegant keyboard or mouse;
- portable printers or scanners (useful for working with documents directly at the facility);
- backup batteries and chargers.
An original surprise may be riding lessons. This will make life more diverse, gain additional skills and stretch muscles. But we must remember that dressage has contraindications. And it will take quite a while. From one-time entertainment, the original quest is suitable.
At work, builders have to plan and take into account a lot (regardless of specialization). Therefore, it is worth considering buying a personalized diary. Stylish watches that are waterproof, resistant to shock and dust, can be a good choice. To work in the dark or in inaccessible places, lights are useful.
Finally, a practical sports bag can be called a practical gift.
Themed souvenirs
Special construction souvenirs can even be more pleasant sometimes than purely practical presentations. Moreover, these functions can be combined. For example, a set of pencil boxes and business card holders made of concrete will look very good on the table. A separate card holder “Excavator” or stylized as some other technique also looks original. Alternatives may include:
- key rings
- figurines;
- Badges
- “Certificates of honor”;
- figurines;
- comic medals and orders.
