What to give a man for his birthday?

The best gift is an expression of tenderness, care and concern. For these feelings to be fully manifested, it is necessary to take into account some patterns. Consider what to give a man for his birthday.

There are three main tips that all gifts have in common.

• Focus on your birthday boy's favorite priorities, not yours. If a man likes dark colors, buy him something black or leather, no matter how pink or sky blue suits him.
• Men attach great importance to personalization. Almost any object can be laser engraved or printed with text. The packaging and the time taken to personalize the gift make a big difference.
• Almost every widget is available in several variants, brands, models. It is important to know what they are for and what the person we want to congratulate is needed.

When choosing a gift for a friend, you should pay attention to the following options:

• watches - Orient Watch - a model that classic divers liked, favorite James Bond watch with an automatic movement; today there are many beautiful elite models from the German brand Zeppelin, distinguished by a variety of functions and designs, and most importantly - after buying a watch, personalize them; engraving on the reverse side of the personalized watch makes the gift exclusive;
• gloves - good leather gloves of a beautiful color from well-known companies specializing in this product will leave a great impression;
• travel cigar case - beautiful leather case for cigar lovers;
• razor - for example, Braun with a cleaning mechanism;
• travel bag for suits;
• gift Certificate to the store;
• wireless headphones - stylish, modern, leather-trimmed headphones will be a good gift;
• a fountain pen with gilding will always be useful for a business and wealthy person;
• navy uniform - she always looks beautiful; it will be a top gift that will cause a storm of positive emotions among others;

You can start with a U-shaped pillow for long flights, or buy a quality sleeping bag that is well insulated. As for the tent, it is good that it is double layer, lightweight and easy to assemble, disassemble and carry.
• Suitcase... The variety is huge here, but there are a few important things to know. Do not give it blank: put two tickets in an exotic location, sweater, scarf, or fill it with 1000 flyers with the words “I love you!”. The suitcase should be lightweight, especially if used on an airplane. Again, for this reason, it makes no sense to take a suitcase that is too large to transport it later half empty. For small suitcases, make sure they meet the luggage requirements of most airlines.
• Backpack should be light and close to the back. It's even better if there is a built-in raincoat and a lot of pockets. Consider - on which trips you will have to use it. Whether it's monthly expeditions or a day trip to the mountains. This is also of great importance for determining its size.
• Walkie-talkie... Whether the birthday person is skiing or snowboarding, wandering the mountains, traveling in family cars, or shopping at the mall, a walkie-talkie is a must-have, such as a Walkie-Talkie. It is important that it has lithium-ion batteries, a wide range and operates in low temperatures (especially for winter sports).

The leading brands are Victorinox and Wenger. Alternatively, you can buy him a military knife (ask him for 1 ruble in return, since the knife is not given, but sold).
• Camera... Most men enjoy taking pictures, perhaps they have retained the hunting instinct from prehistoric times. Almost all cameras can also take video. For high-quality, semi-professional images, it's a good idea to have a video camera and a photo camera. Their types, models and varieties are countless.

• A set of tools for the car or home. Men love to do everything with their own hands. A set of tools will allow you to conveniently and quickly deal with various breakdowns.
• Upper trunk. Do you know how to get a wheel out of a trunk filled to the brim with things. To solve these problems, mankind has long found a way out in the so-called roof racks or boxes. The Thule, Yakima and Neumann brands are some of the best in the field. Keep in mind that roof racks are made up of two parts: the beams and the accessories that you put on the beams (box, bike rack, basket). Beams (or roof rails) are different for different car models.

• 3D printer... It is a particularly suitable present for architects, designers and people who follow fashion. However, the gadget is expensive - the cheapest models start at the same price as for a good laptop. In the future, prices will fall.
• Game steering wheel. If the person you want to wish happy birthday likes to play computer games, put him behind the wheel. Almost every guy and even a grown man loves to turn the steering wheel and step on the pedals. And modern games are very fun.
• High quality headphones. Yes, this may sound like a boring gift if you've never used headphones over $ 100. The truth is that when they switch to expensive high-quality headphones, they get the feeling as if they are listening to their records for the first time. Naturally, not only price is important, but also design, durability, maximum power, frequency range, nominal impedance, magnetic system, membrane, wire and plug type, materials and softness of the gaskets. Full-size DJ headphones with a neodymium magnet that are soundproof but not noise canceling are fine.
• Tickets to your favorite concert. A great gift for fans of any band. See when the ensemble is on tour, or simply arrange a trip to a nearby destination where they have a concert.
