What to give guests at a birthday party?

Gift ideas are always relevant. And if, for example, it is an anniversary, then the hero of the day is ready to give guests not only a holiday, but also memorable gifts. After all, many will agree that giving gifts is much more enjoyable than receiving.

First of all, I would like to say about emotions. After all, it is they who make any holiday fun and memorable. In this case, a gift for all guests at once can be themed party in a certain style. If the budget allows, then the costumes are provided by the hero of the occasion, sewn for each guest. Or it is a masquerade, when guests themselves choose whom to dress up in.

A good, creative host is also a wonderful gift for guests in and of itself. After all, if the birthday person wants the holiday to be a success, one cannot do without a toastmaster. Or the host of the celebration himself can come up with interesting contests for the guests. Unusual invitation cards or mailing in messengers are already setting the tone for the mood of the upcoming holiday. The decoration of the interior, where the holiday is taking place, will also add positive emotions for the guests.

Balloons, soap bubbles, ribbons, garlands with flags, streamers, posters, flowers, photographs - choose yourself. An original gift and surprise for the guests at the birthday party from the hero of the day will be nominal places.

Carefully embroidered napkins with initials or tags on glasses, made using the scrapbooking technique, will be a pleasant addition to the holiday and will give the guests a good mood.You can make arrows out of paper with the name of the guest or several at once, which will point the way to a seat at the table.

Of course, the preparation of the anniversary is a serious matter, and you should think it over in advance. Hand-made paper or fabric flowers look original - then the guest can take his flower home. T-shirts with names or funny words and pictures printed on the backs of the chairs can be worn. Each invitee can also take it with them as a souvenir and then carry it. Or you can sew mini-covers for the backs of chairs in the form of a tuxedo, where men sit, and dresses, where women sit.

The birthday person can also arrange a fair of various souvenirs with the symbols of the holiday or with his own image. Each souvenir has its own price. For example, it can be:

• alcoholic drinks;
• lighters;
• calendars;
• photo albums;
• mugs;
• magnets;
• handkerchiefs;
• candles;
• handles with engraving;
• key rings.

Moreover, all this can be sold for money specially printed for the birthday, which guests can earn by participating in contests. You can come up with an interesting name for the banknotes, for example, "jubilee euro", and then buy the present you like with them from the proposed options to choose from. You can also reward for participation in competitions with various cups, medals, badges, certificates. All this can also be originally signed and executed.

DIY gifts are another good way to surprise... It can be either a special present for a specific person, taking into account his gender, specialty, hobby, collecting or leisure preferences, or approximately the same for everyone. Options for budget souvenirs can be fragrant sachets in do-it-yourself bags, decorated with lace, beads, ribbons or prints.

Gifts themed for a specific person will be more expensive. For example:

• for the collector - one more copy to the collection;
• the traveler - compass, thermos or globe;
• teacher - pointer;
• lover of creativity - a set for needlework;
• artist - paints, brushes or palette;
• to the doctor - white robe;
• driver - fragrance in the car;
• music lover - a disc of your favorite band and so on.

There are a lot of different variations for any wallet. Here, of course, it is worth picking up gifts approximately equal, so as not to offend anyone.

You can invite an artist who draws cartoons. Everyone will get a funny and cool portrait as a keepsake. A birthday cake or a cake with a personalized slice would be a good idea, or you can attach funny stickers to the tags of tea bags. Fortune cookies will also amuse your guests. Or you can make cards, dress up one of those who came with a gypsy and assign the duties of a seer who will predict with funny quatrains.

Alternatively, you can consider lottery tickets, real or made especially for the holiday. But, of course, all are win-win.

• For example, ticket with special numbers. This is a ticket series and important dates for the hero of the day. Several attempts are given, if a person guesses exactly what this date means, takes a prize corresponding to the series of this ticket.
• The lottery can be arranged not only in the form of tickets, but also in the form of a bag with paper tubes, where the gift that the stretcher will receive is written. Anything can be a souvenir. From little things to more impressive prizes. Fruits and sweets, decorative trinkets and little things for the household, books and magazines, toys and cosmetics, figurines and decorations will be used. There are a lot of options, and it all depends on the budget of the host of the festival.
• You can also glue the numbers under the seat on the chair. Each number will have a corresponding prize. Or cut the fruit into slices, insert toothpicks with numbers attached to them. Or, as in childhood, make balloons with symbolic gifts. The ball is chosen by the guest himself.
• Lottery Association. The bottom line is to name the associations that the hidden prize evokes from the owner. Whoever guesses what kind of object it is, he takes the gift.

Children are waiting for their birthday more than adults, and therefore it should be bright, colorful, filled with childish delight. Friends and girlfriends of your child will be happy to leave after the holiday with a souvenir. You can give gifts to guests in the form of a game. Arrange a quiz or sports team competitions following the example of the "fun starts". Or an intellectual game, where the child receives a prize for the correct answer.

You can arrange a competition for speed, who will complete the puzzle or draw something faster. All this simultaneously develops children and gives pleasant surprises. In a playful way, children can be shown a master class in modeling, drawing or applique work. Of course, it is worth preparing in advance for each child the necessary materials and blanks for crafts... After that, they will be happy to give their creations to each other, and this will also be a souvenir.

Purchased gifts for invited children can be as follows:

• chocolate, sweets;
• mini cake;
• coloring pages;
• sketchbooks;
• paints;
• felt-tip pens, pencils, sets of colored pens;
