Ideas for original gifts for March 8 to colleagues at work

It's no secret that pleasing women is so difficult, especially if they are colleagues. But it's worth trying. In this article, we will offer ideas for the most beautiful, original and practical gifts, which, moreover, will easily fit into even the most modest congratulatory budget.

Any holiday in the office has its own specifics, and March 8 is no exception, so choosing a gift cannot be called a simple matter. A gift for the female half of the team should be:

• neutral - so as to completely exclude inappropriate romance or familiarity;
• decent - vulgarity and rude humor are unacceptable here;
• respectful.

In addition, the number of women and the sex ratio in the office must be taken into account. For example, if there are many women and few men, then the budget for each gift is unlikely to be impressive, and vice versa. You should take into account the average age of the team, professional status and individual preferences of the ladies.

Do not give vent to fantasy too much, women do not need any unusual things - the needs of the fair sex are always clear and practical. First of all, pay attention to what they use - this way you can easily come to an understanding of what to give them and at the same time not be too trivial. At the same time, do not forget that the present should not cross the line of business etiquette.

A sample list of useful gifts for colleagues includes:

• kits for needlework - embroidery or coloring by numbers is in vogue these days;

• cosmetic bag;

• scented candles with a candlestick;

• manicure set;

• flash drive;

• perfume and cosmetic sets;

• chiffon shawls and scarves.

Such gifts will be appropriate not only from men, but also from female colleagues, if it is customary among them to congratulate each other in the office. The very essence of such presents is their exceptional practicality and orientation towards regular use. The overwhelming majority of women will certainly use them either in everyday life or for relaxation, or as a hobby, while you do not have to worry that some kind of resentment or misunderstanding will arise among the ladies.

Buying anti-stress toys is a good idea. It's no secret that modern life in the office entails constant stress and excitement, so buying soothing gifts can be very helpful. They can be not only useful, but also funny - these kind of products look pretty funny, so the solemn side can be combined with the practical one. An approximate list of them includes:

• mini massager:
• set for coloring;
• Newton's balls;
• anti-stress ball;
• anti-stress picture;
• hourglass.

The disadvantage may be the reaction of individual women, who may consider this a mockery of their style and personality traits, therefore, such a gift should be presented with a mandatory explanation of their purpose.

A good option with a sufficient budget can be the purchase of "smart" bracelets - these days they have become an indispensable companion of modern women. The device counts how many steps they walked, how many calories they ate and how much they spent, the bracelet determines the time of sleep and activity, helps to correctly calculate the metabolic rate and much more. There is an opinion that such things are needed only by women who go in for sports, but this is not so - any business woman will certainly actively use it.

If you plan to congratulate several ladies on your own personally or act on behalf of the team, then most likely you will have to look at budget gifts that cost up to 500 rubles.

In this category, you can choose one of the following options:

• aroma lamp with a set of essential oils;
• ice cube trays with an original pattern;
• set for sushi and rolls - all lovers of Japanese cuisine will surely appreciate it;
• stylish mug + a pack of tea or a box of coffee - naturally, tea should be leafy, and coffee preferably in beans;
• stylish stands under hot cups;
• a set of bamboo plates;
• notebook or diary;
• table open air;
• business card holder or a stand for business cards on the table;
• and, of course, it is always appropriate Rafaello.

If you are conservative and intend to give your colleagues a classic souvenir, then the best way is to make traditional presents. They can be romantic, playful, or business-like. The main thing that unites them is relevance and popularity.

Traditionally, this category includes:

• flowers - live potted or cut;
• chocolate - regular or curly;
• mugs with printed images - for example, with a photograph of the lady herself;
• T-shirts with the logo of the enterprise, but keep in mind that T-shirts with frivolous pictures are unacceptable here;
• stationery - from expensive pens to stylish notebooks;
• gift Certificate.

The advantages of such options include utility - this is a classic, and it rarely fails. All women are pleased to receive flowers and sweets, stationery or little things for a computer will be useful in any situation, T-shirts and mugs with logos will certainly come in handy.

Such options will be an outlet for men, in whose teams the number of women prevails and the budget is limited.

The disadvantage of such presentations is stereotyped. Such things are given by everyone, always and everywhere, they are completely lacking in creativity and originality, they are perceived as a duty, a planned gift without any surprise. However, in the presence of exclusively business formal ties in a team where friendly relations are not accepted, this is the best option.

If you plan to give a gift to a small group of women at once, for example, a team, then you can present them with a chocolate fountain. Women love sweets and use any occasion to gather for a cup of tea, and surely such a gift will delight them. This is a practical and functional thing, because in the future you can always use it at corporate parties. It works really gracefully, transforming an ordinary chocolate bar into gourmet desserts in just a few minutes.

Tip: do not present such a gift in a box.

Of course, flowers, sweets, dishes and diaries from employees are practical, but a little boring. If your team resembles a company of like-minded people and friendly relations between colleagues are accepted in it, then the choice of a gift for ladies for March 8 should be approached with a note of originality. It is not at all necessary that it should be some kind of creative and cool things - the gift should remain useful, so you should choose something less popular and uncommon in traditional themes. Here are some ideas:

• a timer for boiling eggs;
• colorful tray;
• cutting.

Such kits are usually quite inexpensive, they are useful and often used on the farm and they can be classified as "nice useful little thing". But there is also a minus - many women may think that such products indicate the place of ladies in the kitchen and thereby belittle their business qualities.

If there are many women with a difficult character in your team, then you can give them flowers in a flask that will stay fresh for several years, a selfie remote or a monopod, a jewelry stand.

By the way, such gifts can be given to both young girls and ladies of mature age, delighting them with a non-trivial approach. The advantages of such products are obvious - women get something unusual and catchy, which improves the mood and overall emotional perception of the holiday in the office. There are also disadvantages - many things of this kind are useless and are perceived as nothing more than entertainment.

A team building day for all female employees can be a great idea. Thus, you can additionally give time for relaxation and at the same time unite your team, which will certainly improve the emotional climate at work and increase productivity.

It may seem like there is no place for hand-made gifts at work. This is not true. Of course, a postcard with an applique will be inappropriate here, but there are many original ideas that will surely bring a lot of pleasant minutes to your colleagues.

Baking, such as fortune cookies, can be a great idea. This delicious and very original delicacy can be ordered from a trusted pastry chef.

It will not be superfluous to arrange a tea party when each employee can open her sweetness and read the prediction aloud. Do not even hesitate - everything will be very fun and delicious.

The photo album also refers to interesting and original gifts. Of course, this does not mean just a "shell" - try to make the gift more soulful: collect all the photos where you and your colleagues are captured together - at the workplace, at a conference, a seminar and, of course, at corporate events. Take it to a craftsman to make an album, apply wishes and a corporate logo. Let all men sign this album and be sure to write their congratulations.

A completely impractical, but very funny gift - a medal for the “best colleague”. Such a present will be original and cute, because every lady likes to listen to kind words addressed to her.

The original option to congratulate your colleagues in the old traditions will be a real letter with an envelope - these presents will remain for a long memory, which can be stored in boxes for years. In the texts, you can mention all memorable occasions at work - funny or solemn, memories of joint work moments when you helped each other.

The compliment tree is a good gift that will impress any lady. You will need a tree layout for this. Hang on it little pieces of paper with kind words and wishes from all the men in the office. Rest assured, women will surely read your words more than once about how beautiful they are and how you appreciate their presence in the office. This is an original gift that will certainly not be boring and hackneyed and will certainly delight your colleagues much more than the seventh shower gel.

In conclusion, a little advice - when choosing presents for the female half of your team, do not forget to separately highlight the leader. A gift for a female boss must be individual and special.

• If the boss does not have coffee makers, then it's time to get a coffee machine for her.
• pay attention to notebook in a custom-made leather sheath.
• Surely a spacious executive office will decorate a picture or an interesting figurine.
• If the boss woman loves flowers, an interior houseplant would be a good choice. Just try to keep it picky - in the frantic pace of life, the boss may forget to look after him.
• Small fountain backlit.
• Certificate from an expensive cosmetic or perfume shop.

Most importantly, remember that just giving a colleague a gift is not enough. Flowers were and remain the main symbol
