Choosing gifts for the military can seem extremely difficult. But in fact, it is enough to take into account simple recommendations in order to make the right decision. Be sure to, of course, how to think through all the subtleties and nuances.
Features
Choosing a present for a military man, you should immediately divide the possible options into several groups:
- just useful;
- looking original;
- characterized by special solidity and quality factor.
The specificity of the profession, of course, is very important in such cases.
Even when preparing to congratulate close people who are distinguished by a cheerful disposition, it is better to reject too original gifts.
Humorous motives can be entered only in a dosage. Toys should also be discarded. The only exception will be the situation when they directly ask for some thing (but then, obviously, there will be no choice torment).
A selection of original and atypical presentations
Deserved place in their list is postcards. Yes, as a basic gift they are not good. However, completing a logically prepared gift is very helpful. It’s not even necessary to buy a ready-made card. It is better sometimes to spend time and prepare it with your own hands.
Important: if you select a typographic card, it is better where you need to enter the words yourself - it is emotionally warmer.
You can give a military guy a comb that looks like a knife. Despite the dangerous appearance, it is very practical and convenient. This is just the case when creativity is appropriate. The most ordinary things needed by the military in everyday life and in service can embody professional topics.A flash drive resembling a cartridge looks very original.
It is known that quite a few military men smoke. Then the gift idea itself goes into the hands - a non-standard ashtray will definitely be to your taste. Its design does not have to be in khaki, there are other solutions.
For example, you can focus on the specifics of a particular military profession (maritime, air and so on).
If there are no ideas, you can stop at the usual decorative pen.
More solid things
It makes sense for an officer, especially a senior officer, to give souvenirs. In this case, it is not so much practicality that matters as the symbolism of gifts and their outward beauty. A very pleasant surprise is often an originally executed notebook or notebook. Absolutely, the first recordings will soon appear in them.
Those who are distinguished by their excellent taste and appreciate quality things can be given a spyglass.
Yes, such a thing is very expensive, but it will immediately demonstrate attention to the addressee. In addition, you can pick up a pipe of various sizes and designs. When planning what to give a man to a military man, one cannot ignore flasks. They are useful even to those who absolutely do not accept strong drinks. In a campaign or in a tense atmosphere, there is simply no time to look for another source of water.
You can add originality if you choose a personalized product or a flask decorated with a custom design. Photos of the heroes of the occasion themselves can also be applied. But still, speaking about gifts to military personnel, one cannot limit oneself only to beautiful souvenirs, even with symbols.
Given the stock of people employed in this area, we can definitely say that they will all be delighted with practical things.
And in the first place are naturally Wrist Watch.
They embody just what is associated with the military profession:
- accuracy;
- reliability;
- punctuality;
- inexorability.
Everyone connected with the navy will surely like the captain’s circle. It not only looks attractive, but also very convenient to use. Even inexpensive mugs will be attractive, the main thing is that they are chosen correctly. Choosing a gift for the company commander for an anniversary or appointment, it is quite appropriate to choose a wall clock. Such products often have a specific "militaristic" design.
The options are very different:
- imitation shoulder straps;
- specific coloring;
- a shape like a compass, tank or plane.
Important: special attention should be paid to the durability of the purchased watches.
But chasing an exquisite design is hardly reasonable. Let the thing look simple and concise. Any military - at least a cadet, at least a respectable commander - will definitely like modern gadgets decorated in the appropriate style. Mice and keyboards painted in camouflage are useful both in the service and in everyday life.
An original and at the same time practical option - a set for extreme conditions. It usually includes a jar, compass and a solar-powered charger. It is not necessary to buy ready-made kits - you can purchase the same things separately.
Self-compilation of a kit is especially good because you can diversify it.
To make it easier for the military to maintain a clear schedule, it is quite possible to give them alarms for their birthday or New Year's.
Such alarms are often decorated with inscriptions in a specific key. For those who are starting a military career or just interested in equipment, it is appropriate to give radio-controlled models of military equipment. Ordinary desktop models, however, will do. Do-it-yourself model will bring added pleasure. If you need to choose a gift for retirees, then you can consider ordinary household items, only decorated in the appropriate color.
Benefit will undoubtedly bring that helps to keep fit. These include:
- simulators and bike paths;
- gym memberships;
- training clothes;
- sport equipment.
These accessories are equally good as gifts to both active and former military personnel. On New Year's Eve often give:
- grenade-shaped key holders;
- stationery sets;
- sets of chocolate on a military theme;
- tactical gloves.
What else can I give
The military has the same features as any other people. It is advisable to focus on the hobbies of a particular person when choosing gifts. It can be accessories for fishing or hunting, tickets to sporting events and concerts, to cinemas.
