What to consider when choosing?
As we could see, choosing a gift is not an easy task. Moreover, there is a huge variety of goods on the market today that can confuse anyone. In order not to fall into this trap, you should decide in advance on the criteria and characteristics that will be decisive in choosing a surprise.
Of course, one should focus on the personality, character and individual characteristics of the birthday person. In general, there are several common strategies for choosing a gift:
- strategy "It is necessary";
- the "I want" principle;
- method of accounting for hobbies and hobbies;
- old dreams;
- expensive whims.
The “should” strategy in choosing gifts involves focusing on the needs of your husband. So, perhaps in connection with his work, he needs a new or more powerful computer, or he needs a new winter jacket, since the old one has already fallen into disrepair. On the one hand, such a strategy can be seen as a method that is not suitable for choosing a birthday present, since it is not always possible to create a surprise using it.
But, on the other hand, it is this strategy that will give you the opportunity to purchase not the gift that will gather dust on a shelf or in a closet, but, indeed, a necessary and practical thing.
The "I want" principle is entirely based on the wishes of the birthday person. We all have some desires: for example, someone dreams of a designer bag, and the other dreams of new sneakers. One way or another, but a birthday is the best time to fulfill desires and create memorable memories.
The basis of the method of accounting for hobbies and hobbies is the principle that in the process of choosing a gift, you should start from what brings joy to your man. For example, if he is ready to read books for hours, then buy him a collection of the works of his favorite author, and if he likes to go hiking, then get a new high-quality and durable backpack.
Another strategy when choosing a presentation is to fulfill old dreams. Often this principle requires a large amount of material investment, but a smile on the face of a loved one is worth it. Each of us in our souls has assigned a special place for the most cherished dream: for example, to look at the Statue of Liberty or have breakfast with croissants and drink a sweet cappuccino in a romantic Parisian cafe.
If you have the financial ability, then be sure to try to make your loved one's dream come true.
Expensive whims are those things that we ourselves will never buy. They are often not useful or practical. Nevertheless, they remain in our minds for a long time. Remember, perhaps your husband mentioned such things. These include collectible car models, expensive cigars, and so on. Such a gift will turn out to be very unexpected, but at the same time quite romantic.
In addition to the strategies described above, it is important to rely on your budget. You shouldn't spend all your savings on one gift.
Perhaps as a family you are saving money to buy your own home or dreaming of a fabulous honeymoon. Think about what is more important to you at this time. If there is no extra money, then it is not necessary to give expensive things. The husband will appreciate even a simple souvenir presented with love.
In addition, it is important to consider the time it will take to produce or deliver the gift. So, if you plan to order any item on the Internet, then this should be done as soon as possible, so that the gift has time to reach.
What's the best way to pack?
When a gift is selected and purchased, the last one remains, but no less important stage is its packaging. Of course, this stage can be entrusted to specialists, because now there are many services offering such services. However, if you want the gift to be as individual and exclusive as possible, then you should do it yourself. Moreover, it is worth noting that gift wrapping is not a very difficult task, and if you apply a small amount of effort, as well as show a little patience, then almost everyone can cope with it.
So, first you need to decide on the very basis for the packaging. This could be a box, basket, or a holiday bag.
If the gift you bought already has a factory packaging box, then you should leave it, and you need to apply additional decorations on top of it.
The easiest option is to purchase a special gift bag. These are sold in almost every supermarket, flower shop or gift shop. Place your present in it and add a small card with warm wishes to your beloved. Quite simple and cute, but tasteful.
The more complex option, which requires a lot of creativity, involves use as a packing box. You can buy a ready-made holiday one, or you can do it yourself. To do this, you will need a base as well as printed paper. Use a ruler to measure the amount of paper you want, cut it off, and then stick it onto the box.
Do not forget to add a few decorative touches on top: ribbons, bows. This packaging option will look more festive.
If you are giving a small-sized gift (for example, a certificate or tickets), then you can pack it in several boxes of different sizes and create a so-called "matryoshka". Thus, during unpacking, intrigue and interest will increase.
In addition, do not forget about the very procedure for presenting a gift. Try to make it as festive and solemn as possible. To do this, you can prepare a speech in advance or learn a short verse. One way or another, your words must be sincere and come from a pure heart.
If you are planning a noisy party, then arrange a surprise for your husband.
Ask all the guests to hide and turn off the light, and when your loved one enters the room and turns it on, you will all happily shout in chorus: "Surprise."
If you, on the other hand, want to celebrate together, then prepare a romantic dinner, light candles and turn on unobtrusive music. This option is especially suitable for romantic holidays such as Valentine's Day or wedding anniversary.
Another option involves the creation of a kind of quest, during which your husband, completing tasks, must find a gift himself. Another original idea is to hide the gift in an unexpected place, for example, under a pillow (relevant for New Year's or Valentine's Day). And to create a romantic mood, hide a valentine in his work portfolio - the husband will find it only at the workplace and will experience warm feelings.
Thus, choosing a gift for your husband on the occasion of the holiday is not an easy task. If you don't have a huge budget and a lot of time to think, give preference to more classic and traditional gifts. Otherwise, think about non-standard presentations. But you should also not concentrate your attention solely on material things - your husband will likely appreciate new experiences much more than additional items.
The main thing is to rely on your feminine intuition and knowledge of your husband's character traits. Only then will you be able to find the best gift.
