What to give friends and acquaintances for the New Year?

Everyone loves New Year's holidays. Noisy fun, expectation of a miracle, surprises and gifts. I would like to share the festive mood with all loved ones, give them attention and warmth. Gifts should be fun and interesting. Fortunately, there are many options.

This article will tell you about what you can give your friends for the New Year.

Consider gift options for different categories of people.

If you want to please all your good friends, you don't have to buy expensive things. Presentations can be small but enjoyable.

• Glass ball with snow... Polar bears, a cheerful snowman or fluffy Christmas trees in a whirlwind of dancing snowflakes will undoubtedly create a festive mood.
• Sweets... The choice is great. It can be a set of cakes or sweets in a holiday package, or a bar of good chocolate with a postcard attached to it. The most interesting option is candy in a New Year's boot (sock). You can also attach a postcard with the brightest wishes there.
• A beautifully packaged bar of natural soap - a pleasant and useful fragrant present. You can also buy handmade soap. It can have any shape: a Christmas tree, a snowflake, a tangerine, or even a symbol of the New Year. Modern craftswomen offer products for every taste.
• Calendar for the next year original design. You can buy the same products for everyone or choose an individual present for each friend.
• Mini florarium. Exotic green plants under glass is an unusual and fresh idea. No one expects to receive such a gift on a winter holiday. This will make the surprise even more pleasant.
• Creative mug. The range of such products is wide: models with a changing color, with a compartment for a tea bag, with automatic heating and so on. Of course, you can buy each friend a mug with the symbol of the year, but it is better to focus on the usefulness of the item.
• Funny gifts. If fun always reigns in your environment, you can joke a little while waiting for the holiday.

If you want to give your close friend a special gift, it is worth starting from her character, lifestyle, hobbies.

• Personal interest gift. A girl who leads an active lifestyle can be presented with a gym or pool membership. If a friend is a creative person, she will like a needlework kit or a paid master class. If a girl loves to create culinary masterpieces, you can present her, for example, cookie cutters on the New Year's theme. A more expensive option is a blender, yogurt maker, or something similar.
• Fashionable accessory. If you know your friend's taste well, you can buy her a scarf, wallet, business card holder, hair accessory, or some jewelry.
• Favorite store certificate - a win-win option, because the girl herself will be able to choose what she wants.
• Certificate in beauty salon or spa - one more, if not New Year's, but always a welcome surprise.
• "Live" piggy bank. An adorable cat, getting out of the box to pick up a coin, delights not only children, but also adults.
• Mittens or gloves. This is a real winter gift. It will warm both your friend's hands and her soul with the memories of your care.
• A beautiful box. It can be used to store jewelry and other small items. It can also be an organizer for cosmetics.
• Manicure accessories. If a friend prefers to put her nails in order herself, thanks to your gift she will shine at the New Year's celebration.
• Oil burner... A timeless gift that fills your home with magical scents.
• Soft toy. A rare girl will resist the adorable plush symbol of the coming year.
• DIY gift. Here you can get creative and creative. You can make a collage from your joint photos or decorate a colorful album with them. The photo stories will be supplemented with touching comments and wishes. You can make an electronic presentation with New Year's music and send it to your friend on social networks.

It is also easy to highlight a good friend with an individual gift. If girls are more susceptible to New Year's mood and expect vivid impressions from these holidays, then guys usually do not pay special attention to this. They love practical gifts or objects that make them laugh.

• Useful things. You can give a friend an original USB flash drive, a vacuum cleaner for a keyboard or car interior, an air humidifier or ionizer, an emergency charger for a mobile phone, or something else.
• Accessory... Many young people pay great attention to their appearance. A stylish scarf, gloves or belt are gifts that always come in handy.
• A gift associated with hobbies. The athlete will be delighted with wristbands, a shaker or special food packaging. The motorist should present some useful accessory for the car.

If you work in an office, you can present your colleagues with New Year's gifts in advance. This will make the work environment warmer and more relaxed.

• Organizer. A cute set will make it easy to organize the order on your desktop.
• Desk calendar. This item will allow you to always remember important dates, despite the daily worries and affairs.
• Desktop cooler. If the size of the workplaces allows small containers with drinking water to be placed on each table, the comfort of the company's employees will be increased.
• Funny pen. A funny stationery with a symbol of the year or just an interesting design will cheer everyone up. The main thing is not to forget about the practical side. It should be comfortable to write with a pen.

If your friends are a married couple, it would be logical to choose a common gift for them.

• Interior items. A set of bed linen, a fluffy blanket, an unusual lamp, a mini-fountain in the room and other useful and pleasant things will bring coziness and harmony to the house.
• Gifts that strengthen the senses. A marker board for the refrigerator will allow spouses to leave wishes for a good day and other pleasant messages for each other. A double mug will remind lovers that they are two halves of one whole. Paired T-shirts or bathrobes will replace your usual indoor clothing. A certificate for a family photo session will allow you to preserve wonderful moments in your memory. A portrait from a photo will become the pride of the spouses and a fond memory of your friendship.
• Christmas-themed presentations. Glowing cocktail glasses will make your festive night even more magical. The Christmas ball, inside which there is a photo of the lovers, will become the main decoration of the Christmas tree.
• New Year's basket. A beautiful container filled with fruits, sweets and other tasty things will instantly create a festive mood. You can include champagne, black or green tea, any delicacies in the set.
• Gift-impression. Original presentations aimed at having fun. It can be an interesting board game for fun meetings with friends, tickets to a master class, an invitation to a paintball or something else depending on the interests of your friends.
• If you celebrate a holiday together, you can take with you balloons with funny inscriptions, little things for funny contests.

A small but pleasant surprise for the neighbors will make your relationship more warm and friendly.

• Champagne. A sparkling drink is never superfluous, because such days are famous for the arrival of a large number of guests.
• Sweet present. Nicely packaged sweets will please any neighbor. And if you bake your own cookies or cake, it will be doubly pleasant.
• Soft rug. A sincere and cozy gift will undoubtedly arouse affection among the recipients.
• Drawing... If you have a Santa Claus costume, you can pleasantly surprise your neighbors by presenting them gifts in this form. Until recently, do not reveal the secret about who is hiding under the beard. Let the gifted guess for themselves.

If you can give something expensive to close friends, then you should not spend large sums on presentations for acquaintances. Symbolic little surprises can be quite budgetary.

• New Year's little things. Keychains, pillows or anti-stress balls depicting the symbol of the year, scented candles in the shape of a tangerine or Santa Claus, Christmas tree decorations, pressed in the shape of a Christmas tree - all this can easily create a festive atmosphere.
• You can make original fortune cookies with your own hands. You just need to put notes with pleasant wishes for the coming year in them.

While gifts can be inexpensive, they shouldn't be completely useless or boring. Let's figure out what is undesirable to give for the New Year.

• Don't give statuettes (even with the image of the symbol of the year) for those who are not fond of collecting them. A symbolic gift should be of at least some benefit (towel, soap, flash drive, and so on). Fridge magnets are also not to everyone's liking.If you ignore this fact, your present may turn out to be useless junk that will gather dust somewhere.
• Banal toiletries (shampoo, shower gel, shaving foam, and so on) are also inappropriate as a New Year's gift. This is corny. In addition, it seems that you ran into the nearest store and grabbed the first thing that came to hand. Slippers and socks belong to the same group of unsuitable options.
• Cosmetics and perfumery can only be given to close friends whose tastes you know. Even if you are an employee of a network company that sells cosmetics, suppress the desire to load up all your acquaintances with cheap products that you get. These people may simply not need it.
• Do not give too expensive gifts to those who cannot answer you in kind. Otherwise, they will feel obligated to you, which will ruin the pleasant experience of the present.
• Money is a good gift for an anniversary or wedding, but not for New Years... If you just did not have time to think over and buy gifts, but want to answer your friends for their gifts, this is permissible.
