What can you give for March 8?

A sprig of yellow fragrant mimosa, a chocolate bar and a card with an eight made from a red ribbon - who among women has never received such a gift for International Women's Day! Of course, attention is always pleasant, but it is much more pleasant to receive not “duty” presents, which are made by virtue of a tribute to tradition or out of politeness, but gifts from the bottom of my heart and soul.

How to choose unusual, original gifts for lovely ladies, be it a wife, daughter, sister, friend or colleague, while not spending large sums. Men usually hardly show creativity when choosing gifts, trying to act in a rather stereotyped way - flowers, perfume, linen, at best, a certificate to a beauty salon.

The problem of choosing gifts for March 8 worries men every year. I especially want to distinguish myself in front of native women, loved ones and the only ones - mother, wife, daughter. When choosing a gift for them, men should take into account the degree of kinship (underwear, appropriate as a gift to a wife, inappropriate to a gift to a daughter or mother-in-law). Age is also important (girls are inclined to more romantic and unusual gifts, while representatives of the older generation prefer practical gifts). It will be useful to learn about individual preferences (the daughter-in-law may like good coffee, and the aunt may only like green tea, the daughter loves to draw and devotes a lot of time to it, and the wife loves to bake cakes).

And then success and delight in women's eyes are guaranteed.All gifts for the first spring holiday for female relatives are divided into several categories: popular, useful and relevant for a particular person, romantic and unusual.

Let's start with the top ones, the most demanded ones.

• Flowers - an obligatory attribute of a spring holiday. It can be mimosa with tulips, and luxurious roses - that will allow the budget. But it is better to give each native woman those flowers that she loves. If a woman is indifferent to flowers (there are some), give a flowering plant in a pot - it will not wither in a week and will delight your close lady for a long time with its flowering, reminding of your sincere feelings. Flowers are hardly suitable as the only gift. It is advisable to complement the bouquet with something else.
• Sweet gifts - it also depends on the preferences of your ladies. Some love chocolate, while others love marmalade. Any festively packed sweets are appropriate on this day, an excellent option is a box of oriental delicacies, handmade chocolates, mini marshmallows in a beautiful basket, personalized chocolate sets with individual wishes on each candy, chocolate figurines. Store-bought chocolates are not the best option for loved ones, because they look too routine.
• Decorations - this gift, as polls show, women usually expect the most. This is the very case when adults are advocating for tradition. A woman can fry jewelry for any occasion, and she will not mind at all. Jewelry is an expensive gift. It is appropriate only between loved ones, and therefore, as a gift to an aunt or second cousin, it is hardly suitable. But now the daughter, wife, mother, mother-in-law, sister and beloved will be in seventh heaven with happiness. When choosing jewelry, take into account the woman's style, because it should suit her. You can choose a necklace, earrings, and a ring for your beloved or your spouse, but it is better to give your mother or grandmother something stricter, for example, a chain, a gold watch.
• Perfumery - a woman needs to buy perfume only when you know exactly what she uses and are 100% sure that the lady is not going to change her habit. If there is even a shadow of doubt, buy a gift certificate to a perfume shop and present it - the lady will gladly run to choose a gift she likes the same day.
• Useful things in the household - it can be sets for the kitchen, household appliances, dishes. You should buy this only when the woman really has a need for such a gift, for example, the wife has repeatedly hinted that she would like a food processor. Giving a frying pan or a set of pots is just so dangerous for a man's nervous system.
• Stuffed Toys - women of all ages love cute and soft original plush toys. Try to be creative - if you call a woman Bunny, then give a bunny very similar to your spouse, if you call your daughter at home Kitten, give a soft cat with exactly the same blue eyes as your daughter. A good option is vintage bears, as well as handmade toys.
• Cosmetics - some men give it to their women and quite successfully, but there are very few such men. Others who try to please by choosing mascara or shadows usually have no luck. You can also get into trouble with creams - even the 65+ anti-aging cream that you present to your mom will become for her another reminder not of her femininity, but of her age, let alone her mother-in-law or wife! The best cosmetics is a gift certificate to a cosmetics store for a good amount, where the woman herself can choose whatever she needs. Although gift soap is in the form of flowers, bath salts would be appropriate.
• Photo album or photo frame - are appropriate only when a woman does not have such an object. If you gave a photo album last year, and now you are going to do the same, do not try to repeat it - this will cause confusion.

If we talk about gifts for a loved one, a girl, a spouse, then it is worth stopping at more romantic gifts with a light veil of intimacy. Here are some ideas.

• A romantic dinner prepared by man's hands with his own hands. An option can be dinner in a restaurant, if the donor knows absolutely nothing but scrambled eggs.
• Photoshoot for your beloved - give her a certificate for a professional photo shoot, because any woman in her heart would like to feel like a model, a catwalk star. In addition, a photo session made by the hands of an excellent photographer will finally solve the typical female problem "I never get in pictures."
• Travel for two - give your beloved the opportunity to spend at least one day in a new, fabulous environment, a pleasant atmosphere, to forget about problems and household chores. If you don't have your own plane to quickly fly to Paris and return tomorrow, then just choose a good suburban recreation center, an excursion program to a neighboring city, a trip to a barbecue in the forest.
• Movie ticket for the kissing spots - choose a movie to the taste of a woman, surround her with the same attention as during the first dates. Then she will definitely remember why, in fact, such remote places are needed in cinemas.
• Magnetic board - On March 8, you can express your feelings in poetry and prose on it, and then a woman will be able to use the board to leave her orders and requests to household members.
• SPA-salon certificate - You can send your spouse to bask for the whole day, and during this time you can prepare a festive dinner. Or you can go to the salon together, so useful procedures will be doubly pleasant.

On March 8, women usually expect not so much an expensive gift from a husband and beloved as the creation of a real fabulous atmosphere. Make a day for her, bring breakfast to bed, give flowers in the morning, take a walk in the park or in a hot air balloon, buy ice cream, do her whims. You can sing a serenade under the window. A nice surprise is the little romantic notes which the spouse puts in his pockets, in his wife's purse or purse, in various places in advance, before his wife wakes up, where she will stumble upon messages not only on a holiday, but even several days later.

Practical spouses, mothers, grandmothers, aunts and mother-in-law can choose something from this list.

• Beautiful casket - in it, a woman will be able to store jewelry, costume jewelry, hairpins, cosmetics, sewing accessories and whatever her heart desires.
• Cozy warm blanket with sleeves - in the cold season, a very useful thing that will warm your loved one.
• Coffee maker - a great option for coffee lovers. She poured coffee, poured water and went to wash and preen. The technique will itself brew a fragrant drink and keep it hot. The coffee won't run away. There are models with a delayed start, which allow you to set the switch-on time in the evening. Then the woman will be awakened in the morning by the aromatic smell of coffee from the kitchen.
• Apron, kitchen mittens - this will come in handy at any time.
• Paid continuing education courses by the profession of the lady or in accordance with her hobby.
• Beautiful umbrella - a thing is also necessary and useful, it is only important to take into account the woman's age and clothing style. A red umbrella with hearts and kisses is unlikely to suit a mother-in-law, who always dresses strictly.
• Any sets and individual products and materials for your woman's hobbies. If you do not know what she makes her crafts from or how to embroider the next picture, just take a photo of the work on your phone and show it to the consultant of a specialized store for creativity.The specialist knows what is made of what and will always tell you what consumables and items your needlewoman will need.

When choosing a useful gift, gift certificates are always ready to help. Find it difficult to determine which cake shape is best, which teapot is the right one for the tea ceremony?

The choice of a gift for a lady leader requires a special approach and delicacy. If you are honored to work under the supervision of a female boss, try to give her something alone or with the whole team, which will be moderately strict and helpful, pleasant and will emphasize your attitude towards her. Bosses, of course, are different - of different ages, life principles, different styles of behavior.

Based on the relationship in your team, you have to choose a present.

• Director with dictatorial habits can be pleased with a status, prestigious gift, as well as everything that can decorate her office, for example, a money tree made of semiprecious or ornamental stones can become a present. Choose a beautiful tree, not the smallest, spreading one. The symbol itself will appeal to the imperious nature. A strict director can be presented with a table set, which contains a clock, stands for business cards and stationery, as well as a built-in small aquarium with a goldfish. Watching the fish relieves stress, present a gift with wishes for the fulfillment of wishes.
• To a director with a craving for a luxurious office design present a picture with rhinestones, beautiful orchids in a pot to bloom and delight, an exquisite box, an expensive set of stationery, a personalized branded ballpoint or fountain pen, which is a status gift, a beautiful set of dishes for tea and coffee, a wall or table clock.
• Restrained and laconic leader, always strict and keeping her distance, she will like an excellent notebook or notebook, a diary in a leather or metal cover with a personalized engraving. Such directors are usually under stress almost always and will be very grateful (although not admitted) if you donate a Zen table garden, a rock garden to relax. Also, such a director will love the tabletop magnetic anti-stress.
• Directors close to the working people, sharing each stage of work with the team will appreciate a large external disk for storing computer information, a capacious and beautifully designed flash card, an ergonomic keyboard, good books on a professional profile (encyclopedias, reference books), a large supply of good coffee.
• Young bosses, who are quite flighty and often suffer from mood swings, will appreciate creative impulses: a portrait on canvas ordered from artists from her photograph, a flash drive with voice recognition, a beautiful table lamp or a model of our planet, which hovers thanks to the force field right above the executive's desk.
• Company directors, who try to keep up with their subordinates, will gladly accept as a gift a set of good wine and elite chocolate, an electronic photo frame, where caring employees will prudently upload the brightest photos from the life of the team.

If you really want to excel and make women unusual, original, creative gifts, surprise the ladies, then this list has been prepared to help you.

• Unusual bouquets - this includes bouquets of small plush toys, unusual flowers, for example, living blue roses with declarations of love or lists of worthy qualities of a woman on the petals. To do this, you will have to buy such roses and order a print on the petals. When the word "bouquet" is used, most Russian men imagine traditional flowers. But this concept is broader. Bouquets can be made from sweets, fruits, tea and coffee, and balloons.
• Telescope - why promise your beloved star from the sky or the moon? Do not skimp, give the whole galaxy - a compact telescope will add romance to your relationship, because you can look at the stars and planets together.
• Situational or romantic photo session - every woman should have at her disposal professional, high-quality photographs in which she will appear in an unexpected way, which will reveal her character from a new side.
• Participation in an adventure quest - an excellent gift for women and girls who are easy-going, moderately adventurous, who love active leisure and adventure. Determine the degree of extreme of the quest yourself - some ladies are not averse to being in the atmosphere of a criminal's apartment and finding evidence, while others will gladly take part in a walking quest around the city.
• Author's decoration - it doesn't have to be precious at all. Believe me, women know how to appreciate handicraft, so the jewelry can be made of any materials, as long as it is exclusive and fits perfectly into the general style of your lady.
• Home set for SPA - a great surprise that will appeal to a lady of any age. It includes mittens and mittens for procedures, as well as essential natural oils, cosmetics, natural scrubs, scented candles.
• Relaxation items and devices - for example, a massage cover for a chair, if a woman works a lot while sitting, a hammock for legs, which is attached under the table, if her work takes place in the office, and her legs are numb, a foot massager for feet, where you can immerse tired legs and select the desired operating mode.
• An original candlestick or night light in the bedroom - it can be both a romantic theme and a real delight for dreamy persons who will be delighted with the beautiful views of the starry sky, which the lamp will project onto the walls and ceiling of the room.
• Invitation card or certificate for participation in the master class. The topic of the master class should fully correspond to the interests of the lady - if she draws, it should be a master class of a famous artist or designer; if she plays music, it should be a master class of a virtuoso performer or her idol; if she writes stories and is fond of literature, it should be a master class of a famous writer.

Funny gifts are not forbidden, but it is better to leave such ideas for loved ones and colleagues and try not to test the director's sense of humor if you do not know her well. It is very easy to offend with a funny gift, and therefore make sure that the person to whom the present is intended will adequately perceive your impulse:

• statuette "Oscar" - obligatory nominal, for example, for "Best Actress";
• Playboy magazine with a seductive photo of your lady on the cover;
• fortune-telling set - a prediction ball and a coin with the words "Yes" and "No" instead of heads and tails (if the lady often doubts what to wear, where to go);
• interesting mirror in the form of a cookie, a pretzel, a bun;
• set of jars with medicines and blisters with chocolate tablets, pills "Medicine for all diseases";
• slippers unusual shape or backlit soles to make it easier to walk to the refrigerator unnoticed at night;
• a plan to conquer the world - a map in a tube with personalized marks;
• personal diploma and order Best Mom, Best Wife, Best Woman;
• undershirt with humorous inscriptions;
• fancy pajamas in the form of a panda, squirrel or pink hare costume;
• a good gift for a woman who wants to save up for something - piggy bank-safe with combination lock.

Among the gifts-impressions, which, as you know, stay with a person longer than even the most reliable and high-quality things in the world, pay attention to participation in a tea ceremony, a parachute jump in tandem with an instructor.

Unfortunately, there are not always enough funds to buy gold jewelry and pay for a limousine rental to walk around the city in honor of International Women's Day. And then the question arises, is it possible to make a symbolic and cheap gift attractive? Of course you can, if you treat your choice with taste and love. It is easier to please women with souvenirs than men, even cute plaster angels can delight romantically-minded ladies for years, decorating their desk or bedside table in the bedroom. Therefore, feel free to get down to business and start choosing.

• Casket - beautiful mini-boxes can be bought inexpensively, but it's not about the price - such an item should be necessary for a lady, it should correspond to her style. You can find inexpensive three-tiered storage boxes for jewelry and cosmetics.
• Original cosmetic bag - a woman always has little space in a cosmetic bag, for some tubes and lipsticks there is no place in it. Correct the situation.
• Exquisite Thin Rayon Scarf - match it to the color of the woman's eyes, handbag or boots. This will be a bright detail that will complement the image.
• Necklace headphones - many women on the way to work or while walking like to listen to music, but the dark wires that stick out from under a beautiful scarf look so ugly! Present headphones designed to look like a necklace, and then the woman will have a convenient gadget accessory and jewelry at the same time.
• Flash card in the form of a pendant or pendant - an item of dual purpose. Both beautiful and useful.
• Essential oil set - a woman will always find a use for them.
• A girl, a daughter can be presented selfie flash Is a useful thing that is both inexpensive and significantly improves the quality of selfies taken by a lady.
• "Hand" light made of silicone - such a night light turns on very simply, just touch it with your hand, the light gives a soft, diffused, pleasant. The luminaire can be dropped because the material from which it is made will protect it from breakage if dropped.
• Makeup brushes - an excellent gift, since a fashionista and a beauty do not have many convenient and varied brushes.
• Antistress coloring pages (mandalas) Is a great thing to relieve stress.
• Stands for gadgetsas well as non-slip floor mats for your phone and tablet in your car.
• Sushi set - it includes dishes, chopsticks, a special rug. Some kits include soy sauce, ginger, wasabi.
• Curling iron, hairdryer or hair straighteners - you can find very inexpensive models that will always be useful for a woman, a girl.
• Simple but very user-friendly breakfast table in bed - a gift with meaning. On March 8, you will bring your morning meal on it, and then for a whole year, if you're lucky, a woman will bring you such breakfasts on this table.
• Foot hydromassage bath - helps to relax the feet after a hard day, to rest.
• Shower radio - the device is waterproof, which you can safely take with you to the bathroom to sing there during water procedures. You can even swim in the pool with such a device.
• Touch Panel Calculator - you can take it for shopping, and at the university, and at school, and at work. Wherever a woman needs to quickly calculate something, a simple calculator will come to the rescue, because using a calculator in a smartphone is far from always convenient.
• For ladies who appreciate home comfort, give heated slippers.
• Electric Heated Lunch Box - a device that will show that you really care about a woman, and you care whether she eats cold or warm food during lunchtime.
• Sweets basket - you can collect her favorite sweets and one basket, tie a beautiful bow and solemnly present. You can add coffee, tea, and even a bottle of wine to the basket for the holiday.
• Book - a universal gift, but it is appropriate only if the book is chosen taking into account the interests of a woman, if she will read it with pleasure. If you don't know what literature to give a lady, give a gift certificate to a bookstore.

Women notice the packaging in a gift, and therefore even the most expensive present will lose a lot if the donor presents it in a store box, and even forgets to remove the price tag or barcode. And vice versa - an inexpensive present will seem amazing, fabulous, magical if it is tastefully and originally packaged.

Therefore, there are two ways: to ask to pack the gift in the store in a holiday package, but be prepared to be pretty standard and boring brown paper and a duty bow.

Here are some ideas for packing spring gifts for lovely ladies.

• Give your present by putting it in a gift basket, they come in different sizes and are sold in flower and gift shops. In the basket (not to be confused with the household one), in addition to the gift, you can randomly scatter several heart-shaped chocolates, large glass beads, shells, and you can wind a ribbon or attach a bow on the handle.
• Put the gift in a box and cover it with rough letter paper (in the past, parcels and parcels were wrapped in the mail). Use hemp or twine to tie it. Do not forget to attach a delicate and exquisite artificial flower reminiscent of spring, or an old metal key from the cabinet to the rough packaging - you will get a very vintage stylish presentation. You can supplement the image of the "parcel" and write from whom, where, to whom it is intended: "Beloved", "Dear mommy", "Better sister", "Dear daughter".
• A very successful packaging idea for a woman who loves to travel, an active business lady will become regular newspaper in a foreign language, better old or artificially aged. Feel free to wrap the box directly into these pages, secure the edges with a stapler. Thin ropes, ribbons, lace strips are suitable for giving "zest", with which you can drag the gift crosswise.
• A creative lady who loves music, art, give a gift, wrapped in a page from a music book. Wrap it up with a nice satin or silk bow.
• All kinds of paper bags are a great idea., which you can decorate with appliqués, drawings, whatever, even with photographs, just to look unusual.
• You can also wrap a gift in fabric... But in this case, think over what details to decorate the package with. These can be decorative inexpensive brooches in the form of insects, butterflies, treble clefs, large safety pins, etc.
• Fill a linen bag with chopped colorful confetti (if you don't have time to chop, gut the baby cracker). Confetti perfectly hides a small gift, for example, a jewelry box. The bottom line is that the lady, in order to get to the gift, will have to bail out all the confetti first.
• Small gifts (tickets, certificates, banknotes) can be hidden in helium-filled balloons.

So, amazing, interesting and stylish packaging can be made from a box for chicken eggs, from a kinder surprise, from glass jars of sauces and preserves.
