- A sandwich maker or just a toaster. This unit can brighten up not only the morning, but also the evening. A hot sandwich is always nice to have a snack.
Single men find it difficult to establish their life, and they always lack something. Cleaning, ironing and creating a special atmosphere in the house are female tasks, so they often drive the stronger sex into a stupor. That is why you can give your friend something useful in everyday life for the New Year.

Sometimes you should confine yourself to a standard set, in other cases you can supplement it with toothpaste or household chemicals.
Gifts for a family man are a completely different story. If your friend has a family, then you need to give either something in common or something personal in combination with pleasant little things for your wife and children. How exactly to proceed is up to you.
The main thing is that none of the family members is deprived of such a wonderful and magical holiday.

You can give your friends different gifts. If there are no ideas at all, and everything seems trivial, then give the person the opportunity to choose something suitable for themselves. Many stores often provide Gift certificates. Choose good perfumery or tech boutiques. Organize the amount so that your friend has the opportunity to explore the range.
Another interesting solution is a certificate for some kind of entertainment without a specific date. For example, horseback riding for a young married couple is an interesting and successful decision. Emotions as a gift are no longer news, and it is worth using it.

Useful and inexpensive gifts
It happens that there are many friends, but not enough finances. In this case, you need to choose a cheap but very functional gift. When choosing, it is also worth considering hobbies or type of activity. Let's look at several options.
- An unusual knife. Such a gift can be functional or purely decorative. A universal or, on the contrary, an unusual kitchen knife will suit the chef. Fans of travel will like the hunting or folding option. Choose models with interesting decor.
- Lantern. The gift is very functional, and especially necessary in those moments when some little thing rolled under the closet. The main thing is to choose an unusual design. Let the flashlight be not very powerful, but beautiful.
- Flash drive. Many manufacturers offer a wide range of budget drives in the form of animals, toy cars, or intricate objects. Pick something cool and pack nicely. The gift will suit many, from a teenager to an office manager.
- Unique T-shirt. An item with a funny picture will be a good gift for a close friend. Moreover, these T-shirts can be tailored for the whole company. Images can be anything from a cartoon animal to a funny lettering.
- Book. Funny stories, a collection of anecdotes or something like that. The content should be light and unobtrusive. Such editions have an affordable price, but they help to distract from the hustle and bustle of the road.
A business person can be presented with a more serious, inexpensive item. If a friend spends a lot of time at work, then let him feel your presence there. A small watch on a chain is an unusual and original accessory. A stylish folder for documents or a purse is also a useful present.... You can also pick up a fashionable tie or bow tie.
If a friend smokes, then pick up creative lighter, ashtray or cigarette case. If he drives a car, then you can think about car little things: charging, phone mounts and stuff like that.
