What can you give your brother for the New Year?

Everyone loves the New Year holidays - from young to old, therefore they prepare for them responsibly and in advance. Congratulations to all family members is an important part of the celebration, especially when there are brothers or sisters. To please your beloved brother, you need to choose the right surprise for him, and this is a very difficult task. To cope with it, you need to know the hobbies, interests of the brother, and also not to forget about his age.

To make your brother happy with a New Year's gift, it is important to start preparing for the holiday well in advance. The most important will be the age, relative to which surprises will be selected. The younger the brother, the easier it is to buy something pleasant, because a small child will accept everything and will be sincerely happy. But a more adult will already have to please, as their interests and tastes will appear.

The best gift is the one that was made from the heart, with a sincere desire to please a loved one. When choosing a suitable option, it is important to take into account not your interests, but the wishes of the person to whom the gift is intended.

To make the gift look interesting and original, it must be beautifully wrapped using wrapping paper or other material. The design of the appearance must match the addressee. Since the recipient is a brother, pink shades, flowers and hearts will not be very relevant. You should also not pack the contents very tightly, especially if a small child will open it, because a long unpacking process can knock the mood and reduce the effect of the gift itself.

In addition to the fact that a present for the New Year should be relevant, desired or necessary, it is important to know about those things that are not customary to give or those that will be perceived ambiguously. Family members can afford to give almost anything, but there are those options that will be overlooked.

A family may have several children, and the older they get, the more actively they are looking for gifts for each other for the holidays. If the older child does not yet earn money on his own, then the question of choosing a gift for the youngest is decided together with the parents. For adult brothers or sisters, there is no such need, the choice becomes much greater. In connection with the expansion of opportunities, a new problem arises - how to choose a gift so that it will please and please your brother for the New Year.

The most important factor will be the age of the addressee, the options for gifts for a baby and an adult are fundamentally different, therefore, this issue needs to be given special attention. The degree of kinship deserves a separate mention, since a brother can be a relative, half-cousin, cousin, as well as a brother of a husband or wife. This moment also affects the selection of a New Year's surprise.

To choose the right gift, it is worth highlighting the main age range of the recipient:

• a newborn child who is from birth to 1 year old;
• baby - from one to 3 years old;
• preschool age - from 3 to 6 years old;
• junior school age - from 7 to 10 years old;
• adolescence - from 11 to 15 years old;
• senior school age - from 16 to 18 years old;
• student age - from 18 to 23 years old;
• youth - from 23 to 30 years old;
• adult age - 30-50 years;
• old age - from 50 onwards.

If the brother is still very small, then the list of gifts for him will be quite large, especially in view of the actively growing market of goods for children.

• Rattles... The brighter they are, the better. A good option would be products that are non-standard in shape, size and texture. The main factor influencing the choice should be the quality of the product, its strength, since babies often pull everything into their mouths, and a flimsy toy can break, its parts can get into the child's nose or mouth, which is very dangerous.
• Developing toys: pyramid, cubes, ball, car. It will be interesting for a child under one year old to get acquainted with objects of different shapes and sizes. In this case, special attention is also paid to quality certificates for children's products.
• Teether. Babies under one year old may need a teething device. In order for the baby to use it with pleasure, the device is often made in the form of a toy that fits comfortably in the hand and helps to scratch the gums, which itch a lot until the teeth appear.
• Clothes, cute suits, overalls, sets are unlikely to be appreciated by the baby himself, but this gift will please the parents, and their praise and approval are also important. When choosing such a gift, you should pay attention to the material from which this or that thing is made. It is best to buy natural cotton products that will not cause allergic reactions.
• The stroller toy can be in the form of a stretched elastic band with figures or a separate toy that is attached to the vehicle. A kid on the street can behave differently, so having a distracting product will come in handy.

The younger brother who goes to the kindergarten can be given much more, because he already understands a lot and has certain preferences. Among the most suitable options are the following.

• Cars. They come in a variety of sizes, from small to very large. Transport can be simple, inertial, battery operated on the control panel.
• Constructor. For preschoolers, large parts that are easily connected to each other will be most suitable, with their help you can create various structures. An excellent option would be a magnetic constructor, the parts of which are attached to each other using magnetic attraction.
• Toys. it is best to give developing specimens, moving, burning, singing, so that the brother quickly learns new skills and develops correctly.
• Other vehicles: planes, helicopters, missiles, tanks, motorcycles.
• Beautiful things, suits, pajamas with your favorite cartoon characters.

There can be a lot of options, but it is worth paying special attention to the quality of each product so that it does not break, is not toxic and does not stain the child's skin. If we talk about a gift for a brother of primary and secondary school age, then the list of suitable presentations will begin to change significantly. Among the most relevant options are:

• racing track with cars without control and on control;
• board games: football, hockey;
• video games;
• books on your favorite topics;
• sports backpack;
• clothes that brother dreamed of: a branded T-shirt, a suit of your favorite football team, etc.;
• MP3 player and headphones;
• mobile phone.

The most difficult for both parents and brothers and sisters is adolescence, where values ​​and ideals change, hormones are activated, which significantly affects behavior. To please a teenage brother, it is important to think carefully about what exactly he should buy or make as a New Year's gift. Among the most anticipated are the following options:

• case for mobile phone;
• wireless bluetooth headphones;
• rechargeable music column;
• accessories for sports that his brother is fond of: gloves for lifting a barbell, a belt for weightlifters, a sports towel, a set of wristbands and a bandage on the forehead, a sports bottle for water;
• briefcase, backpack, depending on the brother's clothing style;
• leather wallet, key holder, card holder, wallet.

If the gift is made together with the parents, then you can give laptop, smartphone or other expensive item. It will be pleasant for the athlete to receive new sports equipment, uniforms or shoes, which he has long dreamed of. A tennis racket, a new soccer ball, branded tracksuit, specialized shoes will do.

Can prepare homemade gifts, which will be most appropriate from the sister: a knitted scarf, a hat, a vest, a decorative cool pillow with a photo or inscriptions.

It's already easier to buy a New Year's gift for a rather adult brother, because teenage passions have already subsided and you can understand exactly what a guy needs, not to fear a negative reaction to any gift that was chosen or made from a pure heart. Ideas for congratulations can be like this.

• Wardrobe items: shirts, vests, ties, sweaters, cool New Year's socks and everything you need for comfort in everyday life.
• Study / work accessories: stylish pens, leather-bound diary, organizer, flash drive.
• Hobbies: frisbee, hiking kit, bicycle speedometer and flashlight, LED lights for car or bicycle wheels, volleyball ball, table football / hockey.
• Personal hygiene items: shaving foam, hair / beard clipper, electric or high-quality regular razor, a set of shampoo, shower gel and deodorant from your brother's favorite brand.

It's easy for an older brother to choose a New Year's gift, because everything that the younger sister will give will be pleasant and touching. The choice of a presentation should start based on the age and occupation of the addressee. An adult man is interested in completely different things than a teenager or young man. My brother has already clearly formed preferences and tastes, in accordance with them, you can make gifts. Such presentations will be the most suitable.

• Fishing set, if your brother loves this activity: a new modern spinning rod, a set of baits, hooks, all this will be to your taste.
• Hunter accessories: capacious camouflage bag, bandolier, camouflage coat, warm underwear, rubber boots, gloves, hat.
• Country accessories: a set for garden care in the form of miniature tools, a straw hat from the sun, a book for a summer resident, a kettle / thermos or other necessary kitchen utensils for comfort in the country.
• Car accessories: a professional tool kit, a new jack, if the old one needs to be replaced, new seat covers, steering wheel pad, phone holder, a thermo mug heated by a car battery, a video recorder.
• Collector's edition of books. A video library in your favorite direction with a selection of your favorite films and TV series.

The military should choose even more practical gifts: a warm sweater, a scarf with a hat, woolen socks, a thermal cup will always come in handy. From memorable gifts, it is worth delighting with family photos in a beautiful frame or a photo collage, so that relatives and friends are always “at hand”.

New Year's gifts do not have to be purchased, they can be easily made by hand. With a little patience and hard work, you can create something amazing and unique that will definitely delight your brother on a holiday. Even superficial knitting, sewing and cooking skills can create a beautiful and useful surprise. Among the most popular homemade presents are the following:

• knitwear: hat, scarf, sweater socks;
• sewn items: covers, pillows, clothes, souvenirs;
• things made of clay: cups, plates, saucers, ashtrays;
• sweets prepared for the occasion: cake, cookies, muffins, gingerbread, roll;
• decorative options: scorched and carved out of wood souvenirs, wicker amulets, embroidered accessories;
• painted picture.

Depending on the talent and skills, a do-it-yourself gift can be a cute addition that can show love for your brother, or it can be the main present and serve with faith and truth for many years. When planning a certain gift, you need to weigh the need to create it for your brother, whether he will need it, useful, or pleasant. If all the answers are in the affirmative, then the goal is correct, but if doubts arise, you should think about another option.

You can do it yourself patchwork quilt, under which the brother will always be warm, because the love of his family, invested during the work on the product, will also warm him. Knowing how to work in Photoshop, you can do an interesting interpretation of his brother's photographs, surprising and delighting him. As a souvenir, there is an opportunity to create wall and table calendars with a photo of the whole family, which will be there wherever your brother has to be.

Choosing a New Year's gift for someone will be a simple and unobtrusive activity, and for some it can turn into a real hard labor, without a comforting end result. When choosing something pleasant, it is worth considering whether the presented item will be necessary and pleasant, whether it will offend your brother and whether it will disappoint. Among the most unfavorable gifts are the following.

• Underwear in the form of panties or ordinary socks, which the brother is able to buy for himself, based on his taste and preferences.
• Useless items: key chains, simple photo frames, decorative animal figurines, etc.
• Products that are not suitable for their age or are too complex or, conversely, primitive.
• Substandard goods with obvious defects or requiring alteration.
• Gifts that will hint at some kind of health problem.
• Stuffed animal toys that are often not given to boys.
• Animals if not asked for. In this case, they will become a burden.
• A symbolic present, in which a certain stinginess of the donor is felt.
• Too expensive a gift that obliges in return to present something equally worthwhile, for which there is not always the means.
• Things that do not concern the brother's hobbies, but characterize the one who gives them.

It is also worth giving a cousin something for the holiday, but the size and value of the gift will be regulated by the closeness in the relationship. In the case of great sympathy and closeness, you can please with something pleasant, as for a sibling. If the relationship is pretty cool, then something themed will suffice. In the case of a very distant relationship, a simple congratulation by phone or a postcard sent over the Internet is enough, because the main thing is attention.

There are not many New Year's gifts, however, you should not buy a whole heap of surprises for your brother, you should buy 1-2 good, desired presentations and see fire in your eyes and a sea of ​​joy, than collect a dozen unnecessary little things that will not pay off in the end. Good gifts will oblige a brother to break his head himself for a return presentation.
