What to give your father-in-law for the New Year?

Buying gifts for loved ones for the New Year is a very interesting and joyful activity, because giving gifts is much more pleasant than receiving them. However, this is a very difficult matter, especially when it comes to people whose taste preferences have not yet been thoroughly studied by you. For example, if a woman who recently got married or recently met the groom's parents has to independently purchase a gift for her father-in-law for the New Year, then she may face certain difficulties in this matter.

First of all, when choosing a gift for your father-in-law, you need to remember the reason for congratulations. Of course, a New Year's gift should set you up for a festive mood, please or perhaps amaze. Therefore, you can first of all turn your gaze to themed souvenirs, such as:

• Christmas ball - this is always an appropriate New Year gift, even to a not very familiar person, which is very often the father-in-law.
• Sweater with a holiday or winter print - a very good gift for both an elderly man and a young man. Everyone wears a similar thing (except for residents of tropical latitudes).
• Mulled wine set - a very original and necessary gift for a person who understands a lot about this drink. If your husband's parents consider themselves fans of wine, you can safely present this cute little thing to them for the New Year.
• Christmas candy basket... Sweet things are loved not only by children, but also by adult men.After all, this is a standard and almost win-win token of attention that is appropriate to show in any situation. If your father-in-law is an ardent opponent of glucose, then instead of sweets, you can put meat and sausages in the basket.
• Hockey tickets (football, tennis, volleyball, etc.) - perfect solution. Ask your spouse what kind of sports his father is fond of. If he does not like sports at all, then give him a similar gift in accordance with his preferences (a ticket to the theater, opera, exhibition, New Year's event, etc.).
• Mug with the symbol of the New Year - pretty budget New Year's souvenir. This thing will never be superfluous in everyday life. But the main thing is to buy a mug in accordance with the tastes of the father-in-law, because when making a seemingly unpretentious gift, you can not guess with the choice and disappoint your spouse's father, pretty much spoiling your mood.

Before the New Year, very few of us do not experience a budget deficit, because you need to properly “buy” for the holiday, while buying a whole bunch of gifts for family and friends. Therefore, when purchasing a gift for my husband's dad, I would like to choose something useful, original, and, if possible, inexpensive. There are a lot of similar ideas.

• Book. Say what you like, but this is really the best gift. If your father-in-law is an intellectual, then he will definitely be delighted with this gift.
• Convenient lunch box for lunch. This thing will definitely come in handy for your husband's father, especially if he hasn't retired yet.
• Leather wallet... A practical, necessary and at the same time a status gift.
• Convenient diary or business card holder. For a business adult - just that.
• Air freshener for the car. If your father-in-law is a motorist, then he will definitely like this gift.
• Trunk organizer... Again, a necessary thing that men for some reason do not buy for themselves.
• Scraper glove for cleaning snow. In our country, this thing is practically irreplaceable.
• Fishing equipment... If your father-in-law is a fisherman, then long after the New Year he will remember you with gratitude, because for many men fishing is a real passion.
• Smokehouse for fish. If your relative is a fisherman and lives outside the city, then such a gift will come in handy for him and his wife.
• Hunting knife. Again, if the father-in-law is an avid hunter, you can present him with some kind of hunting equipment.
• Sheep wool belt, vest or slippers. If your father-in-law does not like to be young and periodically suffers from back pain, then this present will certainly please him very much. By doing this, you will show him that you are concerned about his health.
• A warm sweater... A great gift, you just need to ask your spouse what size of clothes his father wears.
• Poker set. The avid gambler will be greatly flattered by this attention to his hobby.
• Exclusive checkers, chess or backgammon. For connoisseurs of the game, this will be a very valuable gift.
• A bottle of a good alcoholic drink in a festive package. This is probably the most popular gift women give to male relatives. By opting for this idea, you will never go wrong.
• A box of cigars or a pipe. It's better not to save money here... A connoisseur will certainly distinguish a quality product from a cheap surrogate, and if the father-in-law is not satisfied with any characteristic of a cigar or pipe, he may simply refuse to use them or simply donate your present to someone.
• Bath accessories. Nowadays, there is a wide range of products in this direction.
• Sports simulator. If the father-in-law complains about his excess weight, then by presenting such a gift, you can help him get in shape and improve his health.

As you know, everyone has their own taste, however, a New Year's present should be at least a little original and exclusive. You can involve children in creating an interesting gift, because a joint creative business improves the climate in the family and contributes to the generation of fresh ideas.

In addition, the father-in-law will be very pleased to know that almost his entire family was involved in preparing a gift for him. There are a great many ideas for original gifts, from making a stockbook with family photos or an unusual figurine (a symbol of the coming year) to a portrait of a father-in-law.

Another unusual idea for a New Year's gift for a father: a pack of expensive tea and a mug, which depicts grandchildren or mother-in-law. If you have minimal artistic skills, then you can try to make your own album, which will highlight the most significant events of the year. As a decoration, you can use beautiful stickers, photographs or drawings.

Another original gift for the New Year is a package from Santa Claus. Who said that he only brings gifts to children who have been well-behaved during the year? You can put things in the box that are not very expensive, but practical. First and foremost, they must adhere to a specific topic, such as maintaining the immune system. An approximate list of things: a vitamin complex, fruit, a scarf, warm socks, dumbbells, a subscription to the pool.

If you are strapped for funds or you want to be original, besides you have a lot of free time, then you can try to make your father-in-law a gift for the New Year with your own hands. By the way, now handmade gifts are very popular. In addition, if your husband's father is a wealthy man, then it will be quite difficult to impress him with something purchased in a store.

Homemade gifts for parents are a good option for young spouses who cannot spend a lot of money to buy an expensive gift. If you know how to knit well, then you will be able to present your father-in-law with a handmade sweater or scarf for the holiday.

If your father-in-law lives alone, then a festive dinner prepared by the daughter-in-law will be a good gift for the New Year's holiday. It doesn't matter if he is able to cook his own food. The main thing is that in this way you can show concern to your relative.

It is possible that you would like to wish your husband's parents a Happy New Year with a common gift. This will help you save money, after all, one gift is less than two. In addition, such a gift will help emphasize your attitude towards them as a single organism, and this can flatter them, especially if they are greedy for such gestures of the mother-in-law. A good choice can be some useful household item, for example, an original night light, a coffee table with a beautiful carved pattern, a retro style chest of drawers, a quality heater.

Also, an expensive set of double bedding, a wide lambswool blanket, down pillows, etc. will be a good gift. If your spouse's father and mother are lovers of outdoor recreation, then you will not go wrong with the country utensils as a gift. It can be a chaise longue, barbecue, swing, hammock, flower bed decoration, etc.
