A simple present for loved ones:

• leather belt;
• tie;
• shirt;
• bathrobe;
• slippers;

When a sign of attention is to be given to your main protector - her husband, you need to prepare thoroughly by February 23rd. Choosing the most interesting and useful gifts from all the ideas.

On this day, it is important to create a festive atmosphere. So that the hero of the occasion wakes up in a great mood and lives the whole day with a smile on his face. It is important to show and even tell him that in your life he comes first, and in his family, in the house - support and protection, a reliable shoulder. Let the husband realize that nothing is scary behind his broad back.

It will be wonderful to build some kind of unusually tasty and beautifully decorated breakfast on such a holiday. You can even in the topic of the event. Let's say "generals" sandwiches, decorated according to a high military rank. Or serve porridge, laid out with the number 23. Stars made of red caviar on pancakes - also look very symbolic, and simply conquer men with their taste.

In the process of treating you to breakfast, you can please your strong half again and say a pleasant congratulatory speech. After breakfast, it's time to present the main gift. It will be a good idea to choose the right words to accompany the presentation of the gift. So that the spouse understands what meaning you are investing in him.

Feel free to explain yourself in poetry or even to a romantic background melody. All of this will benefit your relationship and strengthen it. A good option is a birthday cake baked with your own hands. It may not be decorated according to the symbolism of the holiday. It will just be nice and delicious at home.

Don't like pies and keep fit? Then prepare an interesting salad. Or make your favorite from the traditional options, but when serving it, name it somehow symbolically, in tune with Defender of the Fatherland Day.

In addition to all of the above, you can use the following ideas.

• Gift made with your own hand: something sewn, knitted, painted, etc. The creativity shown with the preparation of breakfast is not considered a gift, it is only a bonus as a token of attention.

• Personalized or memorable present. For example, a T-shirt or sweatshirt with a name, photo or a memorable place of your acquaintance, or on the theme of the troops in which the husband served (if he did military service). It may be worth looking at a piece of jewelry with a name (dedication) or a watch. It is not necessary to choose an expensive thing, even economically you can make everything beautiful.

• Status thing. What the spouse will never buy for himself - a presentable pen, leather wallet, watches, cufflinks, a clip for banknotes, etc.

• A gift is a dream from childhood. If in childhood the husband had a dream, but still remained unrealizable, you can feel like a sorceress and fulfill it. What kind of childhood dreams can a boy have? A folding knife, a pocket flashlight, a crossbow, something from a weapon. Or maybe a trip? Find out on occasion where your loved one wanted to go in childhood or what he dreamed about as a carefree boy. Even simple attention can make your husband happy.

• If the spouse is a smoker, he will probably be delighted with cigars, a knife for them, a hookah with a set of tobacco and charcoal, a stylish ashtray or an unusual lighter. You can also present your beloved with a pipe, a pouch with quality tobacco. Although the expediency of such a gift is highly controversial. Smoking is harmful to health. But if you prevent this, it is even more difficult to fight a bad habit. In exceptional cases, you can close your eyes to the husband's bad habit.

• The same can be said for alcohol. But you need to understand that an ordinary bottle of vodka as a gift is not enough. If you give something from an alcohol-containing one, then only a high-quality elite drink. Otherwise, it is better to pay attention to a present from another area.

• You can present a shaving machine or some related accessories.

• A keychain can also be used as a gift. with a "search" function for husbands who often lose keys.

• Toilet water, underwear with interesting drawings or original inscriptions.

If the children are still small, they present dad with drawings and crafts. They sculpt tanks, cannons, draw stars and the number 23. As children grow up, gifts become somewhat different. For example, girls knit scarves or even jumpers for their fathers. And the guys do something with their hands. Dads are always happy with what they receive from their children, as they give their offspring everything from a pure heart. This cannot but arouse pride in the parent. But what can you give if there is no talent for knitting and knitting?

• Interesting book.
• Subscribe to the magazine.
• Order a musical congratulation on the radio.
• Hand over a T-shirt or mug with the signature "Beloved Dad", "Our General", "Regiment Commander" or come up with your own original phrase.
• Warm blanket.
• Night light.
• Glasses in a case (but after knowing what diopters are needed).
• An original family photo frame or album. You can make a frame with your own hands. And give a photo album, focused on the storage of army photographs.
• As an option - a bath set with a hat with a star, etc.
• "Soldier's ration" in original packaging and with modern content.
• Insulated vest.
• Tickets for a movie show or theater for two. He can go with his mother to unwind or take an adult son / daughter with him.
• Comfortable rocking chair.

On this score, not everyone thinks, but in vain. Choosing a gift for February 23 for a man, women sometimes act intuitively. In order not to buy something unnecessary and not disappoint, it is better to figure out what you should not pay attention to.

1. It is advisable to avoid commonplace items and not handing over a strategic stock of socks, deodorant sprays or roll-ons, soaps, underpants, undershirts, underpants, mugs, disposable razors. Such a gift will immediately show that for the holiday you have a purely formal attitude and an indifferent approach to choice. Consequently, this person is indifferent. Otherwise, why didn't you take care of something original in advance?
2. Too expensive things also not an option for a presentation on Defender of the Fatherland Day. First of all, because it obliges the man to subsequently make a similar gift in return. And not always and not everyone has enough funds for it. This can only be done by family people, by general agreement. Since February 23 is followed by spring and International Women's Day.
3. Intimate things give only to close people. It is not necessary to give socks and panties to a fellow student. This may seem like a hint of rapprochement to guys, or it may even embarrass and offend the person.
4. Chocolates, candies and soft toys - not men's gifts, like bouquets.
5. Gifts with a hint are also not welcome. For example, if a husband promises to finish repairs or make something for a long time, but it doesn’t come to fruition, don’t give him tools for the holiday. It is better to do this on any ordinary day.
6. Don't gift tickets for pop bands performancesif a man doesn't like it.And don't drag a guy to listen to symphonic music or a musical in the theater if he doesn't like these cultural events.

You should always remember that a gift is, first of all, a sign of attention. Therefore, sometimes grateful words and good mood are enough for a real holiday. Or you can stock up on an excellent present, but present it in such a way that a quarrel will be inevitable. Remember that only with a good mood and goodwill, with a sincere desire to make a real holiday, a man can get an unforgettable celebration.

Such gifts are usually given in certain circles or to the closest men. it may be:

• a bottle of elite alcohol;
• an expensive pair of cufflinks or a set of tie clip + cufflinks;
• VIP wristwatch with engraving;
• cigars complete with guillotine;
• status office suite;
• personalized certificates for holidays or purchases;
• exclusive accessories (umbrella, wallet, bag);
• trendy shoes or any pair of shoes;
• covers for the car.

On February 23rd, women are often confused about how to congratulate the boss. At work, in any area, he is in charge, so forgetting about a gift for him is unforgivable. If this is a personal gift, then it may well be symbolic and budgetary. And the collective present must be chosen according to the status of the boss and his position in society. Of course, this should be something more serious than a postcard or a set from the nearest department of household chemicals and perfumery.

When choosing it is important to observe the principle of "golden mean". An item that is too expensive can embarrass the manager.... It can be perceived as a sycophant or a bribe. A person can understand what is happening, and your generosity and enterprise will result in anger and your dismissal from your post. Overly cheap courtesies won't work either. A tasteless penny option is better not to be taken into account at all from the very beginning. Otherwise, the boss may think that they are showing disrespect to his person and even trying to make fun of him.

You need to decide whether it is generally appropriate to give something to the main person in the place where you work. And also, as is usually done. Perhaps this is a collective manifestation of attention or the approach of each employee is individual. Or even the congratulatory part is built only on the words of greetings and wishes of all the best. But, nevertheless, it is customary to make gifts, just in case you need to figure out which ideas are good for congratulating the boss:

• expensive cognac, whiskey, rum from an elite series and varieties;
• a set of cigars identical to alcohol;
• status office;
• leather-bound diary;
• a wallet made of elite materials of the highest quality;
• high quality business card holder.

These are all win-win options in the selection of gifts. A certain set according to the standard, which, as usual, is handed out on February 23 or on other dates. If the relationship with the authorities is on the same wavelength, then any original gizmos and even funny options will be perfectly accepted. And if the boss decides to show attention to subordinates himself, the following presents are presented at his discretion:

• bonus - the addition to the salary is always relevant;
• corporate evening;
• presentation of the certificate.

First you need to figure out who your colleagues are - employees of one enterprise or office, colleagues in a department, business partners. If these are business partners, things with military symbols or with a company logo will be appropriate. Notepads, pens, calendars, mugs, lighters and greeting cards are just a small part of what you can choose a gift from for colleagues.

It is better to rely on the age of the employees, take into account their hobbies, if something is known about them. It will be convenient to compile a list of male colleagues by writing down the age and hobbies in front of the names of each. This will greatly simplify the selection task and eliminate confusion. But the price tag of gifts should be equal. In order not to offend anyone and not to cheat on the holiday.

Gifts for co-workers are of a specific nature and depend on the amount that employees can afford to spend on them. As a rule, gifts are purchased from collective funds. All female employees in the department, office, enterprise donate a certain amount, and the most active and enterprising set the festive table at the end of the working day and congratulate the men according to their own scenario.

Most often, colleagues are given the same, equivalent things. Then nobody's mood will be spoiled. Chocolate with the number 23 and alcohol, personalized mugs or drinking utensils with military symbols will do. Original flasks, T-shirts with themed inscriptions, lighters. For colleagues who often work at a computer, a good gift would be mouse pads, a heated mug powered by USB, or a mini-fan that connects in the same way. In stores, you can pick up flash drives in a design that matches the theme of the holiday. This is a necessary and interesting thing for an office worker.

In a large and large enterprise, a purely working relationship among employees usually reigns. But this is not at all a reason to abandon the idea of ​​making small surprises for men. It can be a personalized mug or a stylish pen, a diary, a cake baked to order in honor of February 23rd. In small firms, relationships are warmer and often colleagues are invited to bowling, to a paintball tournament or to go through an exciting quest. Such an approach with shared emotions only brings together and promotes even more productive cooperation.

It is equally important what the gift is packed in. The design style is able to make it stand out from the rest. But decorating ideas depend on imagination and ingenuity. You don't have to get knocked off your feet looking for unique and memorable packaging in stores. You can decorate a gift in style even with the help of ordinary newspapers and improvised means.

It is advisable to associate creative design not only with the military theme, since all men, without exception, are congratulated on February 23rd. It is better to create packaging taking into account the interests of each individual person, according to age and status. In order not to "reinvent the wheel", it will be convenient to do everything according to a ready-made template. You can find it on the Internet and print the required number of blanks.

After that, all that remains is to pack the gifts and decorate the resulting packages with buttons, stars, a tie or bow tie, in general, whatever. The flight of fantasy does not need to be stopped there. Cute lettering in the theme of the holiday is only welcome. Self-expression will tell you which words are better to devote to this or that person.

It would seem that such an unsightly package, and this is already half of what is needed for a successful gift wrapping. Even a mustache glued on top of the bag will make it original and unique, most suitable for men's gifts. And if you also add eyes or draw a funny face, decorate with a shirt and a bright tie - even the most primitive and inexpensive gift will look more spectacular.

Manufacturing instructions.

1. Divide the top of the bag visually into 3 parts and cut off 5 cm from all of them from two edges, and do not touch the middle.
2. Fold the edges inward, giving the bag the shape of a shirt collar.
3. Secure them with tape. Decorate the "shirt" with a tie made of colored wallpaper (paper).

You can complement the decoration with newspaper clippings and illustrations from magazines. It is desirable in a festive theme. Cut out from the inscriptions "The best dad", "My defender", "Happy holiday!", "Our hero", "The most worthy". You can use a marker for labels. On a craft package, it will look very modern.

Vintage is not giving way to modern design. He is always in fashion, like everything unusual. From unnecessary old newspaper, you can make excellent wrapping paper, and completely inexpensive and original.

You will need:

• a newspaper (ideally, so that it is faded from time to time, yellowed in places, you can even have a foreign publication);
• glossy magazine page;
• scissors;
• stapler;
• glue.

For this option, the gift must be placed in a box. To pack it into a newspaper, you need to do the following manipulations:

• wrap the box with newspaper and secure the joints with tape;
• bend the top of the protruding paper from the sides down;
• put the corners in the center;
• lift the bottom and secure all edges with tape.

In addition, you can use some cute accessory. Men are not sentimental. For their harsh natures, something like this is more suitable than bows and bright colors. The only exception is a bow made from a magazine page. To do this, you need to cut 9 strips over the entire length of the page, each about 2 cm wide.

Shorten 3 strips by 2.5 cm, and two by 5 cm, one should be 9 cm long. Each of them should be folded into an eight, bright side up. Fasten the ends in the center with tape. Roll the shortest into a ring. Connect the "eights" together by gluing the center to the center from the three largest ones. You will get a decorated six-pointed star. Small ones should be fastened separately. Now you need to collect from this a semblance of a pyramid, and close the center with a ring.

An incredibly effective and moderately ascetic bow for a brutal gift is ready. At the same time, its cost loses its importance, since the efforts made are obvious at a glance. All that remains is to attach the bow to the package and praise yourself for your patience.

On February 23, men often receive their preferred alcoholic drink as a gift: whiskey, rum, tequila, cognac, etc. And such a high-grade present is also worth it to be creatively packaged. To apply for this, a sleeve from a man's old shirt is proposed. The algorithm of actions is simple and within the power of everyone.

• A sleeve with a cuff is cut off from an unnecessary shirt. The length should slightly exceed the height of the bottle. It should be borne in mind that the thing should not be badly worn, and the cuffs should be chosen well-preserved. An exception is denim. There are scuffs on it only for the good.
• A bottle of alcohol is "put on" the sleeve, and the beginning of the cuff should correspond to the edge of the neck. The bottom must be carefully sewn to close the bottom.
• The cuff is folded into a collar. An impromptu paper tie or bow tie is put on the neck, or the "collar" is left casually unbuttoned.

When many male relatives gather at the same table on a holiday, you can stick a printed photo on each package. This is done very quickly and looks creative and personal.
