If you need an original and necessary gift for a wedding anniversary, housewarming, birthday, New Year or other occasion, then you can turn your attention to a family umbrella. This is a very unusual and fashionable accessory today, which allows you to walk in the rain with great comfort with your soul mate.

Surely everyone knows how inconvenient it is to go next to a person, when umbrellas interfere with each other, raindrops fall on clothes, mood deteriorates, I want to quickly run home, instead of taking a romantic walk together. For such cases, they came up with models that can be found in stores under the names dualbrella, lovers umbrella or umbrella for two.

What is the difference between a parasol and ordinary models? Of course, with its size and shape.

It is designed for two people to hide under it at once. Such a model will be an excellent present not only to your loved one on Valentine's Day, March 8 or February 23. Such an original umbrella can be presented to your best friend or, for example, twins.

Some models are made in a combination of two contrasting colors, such an umbrella looks even more original and unusual.

Double umbrellas are slightly larger than single umbrellas, but that's okay. Folding models can always be compactly placed in a bag or purse.

Modern designers offer different models of family umbrellas, among which there are several particularly popular:

The most stylish and elegant model. It has one, two handles or a common double. Outwardly resembles two interconnected umbrellas.

The usual model, only made in an enlarged version.

Under the dome of such a huge umbrella, two or even three people can easily fit. Most often, such models are automatic or semi-automatic, so that you can quickly open the accessory when you go out. The umbrella may have a round or oval dome shape.

Very popular model today. For its manufacture, durable polyethylene is used. Such an accessory is often complemented by decorative ornaments and is part of the wedding image of the newlyweds.

Most often you can find family umbrellas made in the monochrome version, for example, black, blue, gray, red, yellow, which are universally suitable for both men and women.

Another option is a transparent model, which looks more advantageous due to its “invisibility”.

And another popular option is a rainbow umbrella. A great way to cheer yourself up and your soul mate on a cloudy and rainy day.

Sometimes you can find combined umbrellas, decorated with stripes of black and white, blue and white and other colors. Or a double umbrella, where each half is made in its own color scheme.

Choosing a family umbrella as a whole differs little from choosing a conventional rain protection accessory.

• First you need to decide on the model, will it be a mechanical cane or an automatic model? The first option is more practical and elegant, the second - more convenient and comfortable. A cane looks more solid, but a folding umbrella is lighter and more compact.

• Color. If an umbrella is purchased for a couple, then the color scheme should be as neutral as possible to suit both people. Usually this is a classic - black, gray, beige, purple, white umbrella. You can opt for the fashionable today transparent or colorful model.

• There are several options for pens. It can be bent (such an umbrella is convenient to carry on your hand, but difficult to hide in a bag) or with a knob. It can be made of wood (a more expensive and presentable appearance), made of plastic, metal, rubber. It can be strict or beautifully decorated (for example, you can purchase a model with a illuminated handle). And finally, the handle can be one for 2 umbrellas, be double (when each handle has its own handle, and they merge into one) or two separate.

• The number of additions (the more there are, the more compact the umbrella becomes). Choosing a model, you should pay attention to the frame and the material from which the dome is made. More durable and stronger knitting needles made of metal or fiberglass. They are much more reliable than plastic and aluminum knitting needles, which can bend under gusts of wind. The number of spokes also matters. A family umbrella should support at least 10-12 pieces.

• Various waterproof materials are used for the dome, such as polyester or nylon. Often you can find models with special Teflon impregnation, which can significantly increase the service life of the accessory.

• Before buying, you must definitely check the workmanship: the folding-opening mechanism should not jam, the seams should be even, the threads should not stick out, and the fabric should be wrinkled. All these little things can negatively affect the operation.

• If you plan to purchase an expensive, high-quality gift, then it is better to pay attention to the collections of famous world brands that are of high quality and stylish, original design.

• In order for such an umbrella to retain its properties and flawless appearance for a long time, it needs proper and constant care. It must be dried in a half-open state, not next to the heating appliances, but hanging freely on the door handle or hook.

• If the umbrella is dirty, then you can clean it with a sponge dampened in soapy water. Then it should be washed well and left to dry.
