What to give a loved one on February 23?
Despite the fact that February 23 is officially considered the Defender of the Fatherland Day, on this day it is customary to give gifts to all men, without exception: dads, grandfathers, brothers, friends, classmates and classmates, and, of course, your beloved half.
Top standard gifts
Of course, there is a certain list of things that have long become traditional versions of presentations for Defender of the Fatherland Day. Such items include socks, underwear, as well as all kinds of hygiene kits: shampoos, shower gels, shaving foams and much more.
Despite the fact that such gifts are often ridiculed, and some people even consider them indecent, they are often given by girls to their boyfriends.
On the one hand, such a choice does not cause great difficulties, and also does not hit the wallet, but on the other hand, it is practical and necessary.
For example, every man will be happy to receive a quality shaving kit as a gift: a machine, shaving gel, as well as lotions that are applied before and after the procedure. If a young man has a thick beard, then all kinds of oils, gels and mousses intended for beard care will be an excellent gift. Mustache and beard waxes are also suitable for dudes.
Wardrobe items are no less popular gifts: both the smallest (socks, underwear) and the larger ones (T-shirts, sweatshirts). If a loved one is a fan of business style, then he will be delighted with a new branded bow tie or tie, as well as cufflinks.
Men's perfume is also a common gift.However, when choosing eau de toilette for your boyfriend, you should be careful and attentive.
It is advisable to give preference to more calm aromas. You can also go the simpler route and just buy the young man's favorite perfume.
Gadgets and accessories are another common category of gifts. A new high-quality headphone, gaming mouse, laptop bag or smartphone case will never be redundant. Car accessories or things related to the guy's hobbies and interests will become appropriate (a fitness bracelet for an athlete, a fishing rod for a fisherman or drum sticks for a musician).
The group of classic and anticipated gifts also includes watches and jewelry. If a man wears such accessories, then they can be a pretty good gift option.
To add flavor to a standard item, you can order a personalized engraving.
Romantic ideas
On February 23, you can give your beloved man not only material things, but also romantic impressions.
For example, a loved one can be woken up with a delicious breakfast in bed.... Depending on the personal preferences of the husband or young man, you can prepare a sweet breakfast (pancakes, cheesecakes, croissants) or choose a more traditional option - scrambled eggs or toast. In addition to breakfast, you can also arrange a romantic dinner.
The main role during dinner should be played by the intimate atmosphere: you can light candles, incense sticks, turn on unobtrusive music.
It is also worth paying attention to table setting. For dinner, it is better to cook the young man's favorite dishes.
If the relationship is pretty close, then a massage or erotic dance will be an excellent end to such a romantic evening.
Another category of romantic gifts consists of all kinds of certificates. For example, you can give your beloved a certificate to the spa for two or arrange a small romantic trip for two to the city of dreams.
If a young couple has been in a relationship for a long time and have children in common, then the kids can be left with their parents for the holiday, and the two should go on a romantic date. To give a special mood to the day, you can go to the place of the first meeting or first date.
Original and unusual presents
A creative gift for Defender of the Fatherland Day is a great way to surprise and please your loved one, as well as to avoid banal and already annoying presents.
An interesting and unusual option can be a homemade certificate. As part of such a certificate, you can offer your husband a massage or the preparation of his favorite dish. For cheerful couples who love cool and original gifts, a certificate is suitable, which allows the husband to independently dispose of the remote control all evening or go fishing with friends all weekend.
Surprisingly, you can give bouquets to men as well as women. But, preferably, not from flowers. Today, many boutique shops offer so-called "mens sets," which include salted fish, smoked sausages, fruits and vegetables, and drinks. If desired, such a gift can be customized as much as possible.
If it is necessary for the present to be more sincere, then it is better to create such a bouquet yourself - the young man will be doubly delighted.
Photo printing will be a win-win option. A generic photo can be applied to a mug, T-shirt, pillow, puzzle, or any other item.
If a girl has any talents, is fond of creativity and is a rather creative person, then she should use her abilities to create a gift - you can write a portrait or a song, knit a scarf with your own hands.
In order to diversify boring holiday feasts, you should create a real quest for your loved one. For example, in the morning on the bedside table, leave him a little letter with a hint where he should go next. In the next place is another note. As a result of his mini-trip, the young man must discover his present.
Various radio and television greeting cards also remain relevant.
You can order your boyfriend's favorite musical composition and write a sincere congratulation. Alternatively, you can go further, such as recording an entire video for a young person. It is also worth asking mutual friends to say a few words about your soul mate, and then in a video editor to combine such videos together. The last and warmest congratulations should be the video of your girlfriend.
Various assorted sets will also become an original gift idea for February 23rd. Collect small but pleasant little things in any container (it can be, for example, a box or basket). Edible products such as coffee or a bottle of your favorite drink, wardrobe items, and any other items you wish can become such gifts.
With such a complex gift, the girl will definitely not lose: at least a few things from the set, the young man will certainly like it.
How to surprise a guy?
Of course, choosing the right gift is quite important, but the method of presenting it is equally important.
First of all, you need to choose a beautiful packaging.... This can be a cardboard box or specialty paper. Today, many specialized services offer beautiful and high-quality packaging of a gift, but you can cope with this task yourself. For this, wrapping gift paper or foil, ribbons, beads, beads and other decorative elements will come in handy.
You need to try to maintain a uniform color palette.
In order to arrange a real surprise for a young man, it is recommended to send such a gift to him by mail (if the girl does not live with him) or ask the courier to deliver the present to his beloved at work.
If you like to celebrate the holidays noisily and in the company of friends, then you should try to arrange a surprise party with balloons for your loved one. And on the contrary, if a guy loves silence and solitude, then you can blindfold him and take him to the roof or to another cozy and secluded place, and only upon arrival can his eyes be untied.
Useful Tips
When choosing and planning a gift, it is important to take into account the character and desires of the young person. For example, if he does not like noisy parties, then it is better to stay at home alone on this day.
In addition, try to remember the hints that the guy gave on the eve of the holiday - perhaps the young man has already looked after a gift for himself or has long dreamed of a thing.
It is also recommended to go ahead to buy the gift. This should be done for two main reasons:
- during the holidays, stores are filled with people, so by taking care of purchasing a presentation in advance, you can thus protect yourself from unnecessary stress;
- many products, especially classic gifts for men on February 23rd, are snapping up pretty quickly.
If the candy-bouquet period of the relationship is already over, you have become a real family and have big material plans, for example, save up for an apartment or a car, then you should not spend a lot of financial resources on congratulations on this holiday.
Thus, there are an unlimited number of ways and opportunities to congratulate your loved one on Defender of the Fatherland Day. In fact, the girl is limited only by her fantasy: you can present both a standard present and arrange a real romantic evening.
