What to give a guy on February 23?

The holiday on February 23 appeared back in 1922 and has a military theme, because it was originally supposed to celebrate the anniversary of the creation of the Red Army. What can you give a man on such a day? How not to be mistaken when choosing a gift?

How many socks and shaving gels have been donated during the existence of the holiday cannot be counted. Before choosing a present for a man, you need to understand what exactly should not be given.

• A set of tools for work. On the day of the holiday, you don't want to think about work or receive something related to it as a gift. And February 23rd is no exception to the rule: no screwdriver sets or multitools. Exception: if there is an urgent need to purchase a certain instrument, it is on February 23rd that you can purchase such a product.

• Souvenirs... A souvenir is supposed to be a thing that is unsuitable for practical use. Of course, a souvenir will not be overlooked, however, it is better to present a thing that will be useful for different needs. For example, you should not give a statuette with the number 23; it is better to opt for a key fob equipped with a flashlight.

• Bracelets and rings... If you can guess the size of the finger, then the guy's preferences are different. There is no need to give a beautiful bracelet or ring if a person does not wear such accessories. Exception - if a man is fond of wearing accessories on his hands, you can present a present in the form of a neutral bracelet.

• Plush Toys. On Defender of the Fatherland Day, receiving a gift in the form of a soft bear is one of the worst nightmares of any young man.

The points listed above will help you not to get into an awkward situation when giving a gift. When buying a particular presentation in honor of the holiday, you need to remember the following recommendations.

1. You need to buy what the guy dreams about, not the girl. Often, girls give their boyfriend clothes and even cosmetics (cream for dry skin, etc.). This is not recommended.

2. It is worth preparing and finding out in advance what a man lacks or what he dreams of. If you do this unobtrusively, you can give exactly the thing that the guy needs.
