What to give for Airborne Forces Day?

When choosing gifts, one often has to be guided by the professions of the gifted people. And if in the case of a programmer, carpenter, driver or accountant everything is more or less clear, then the selection of a presentation for a paratrooper can confuse most people. But not those who will take into account all the subtleties and nuances.

The selection of gifts for the Day of the Airborne Forces should begin with the rejection of obviously unsuitable for the season offers. The celebration takes place in August - and therefore everything that is intended for winter will have to be rejected. This is simply impolite. Given the brutality of the celebration and all the people associated with it, it is necessary to exclude any gifts that are frivolous or frankly playful. But, of course, homemade blue berets and vests with the coat of arms of the country or branch of the military are appropriate.

All things that bear the corporate motto of the Russian airborne assault - "Nobody but us" will do. Emphasizing warm emotions is possible with the help of such souvenirs:

• T-shirts, T-shirts, jackets, shirts or sweaters with characteristic slogans and inscriptions;
• flasks with symbols or the same inscriptions;
• an army belt (on the buckle of which the emblem of the military service is engraved);
• portrait in uniform;
• a flash card or an external hard drive (a characteristic item in everyday life of any modern person).

It doesn't matter if the gift is chosen for dad, husband, uncle or colleague. Much more important is that many of the paratroopers are already pretty tired of monotonous "surprises". If you get away from the template by considering non-standard solutions, you can count on success. For example, you can buy boxing kits and weightlifting accessories for other sports.It is very important for professional soldiers to be in good shape at all times.

Airborne troops know firsthand what a free fall is. You can once again reproduce the sensation of floating, if you give a flight inside a wind tunnel. It's completely safe and much nicer there.

Therefore, fireworks organized by professionals may be a quite appropriate choice.

Sometimes you can hear that the paratroopers are happy, having received a certificate for a jump independent of the service. But this largely depends on the personality of a particular person. It is necessary to approach this topic with great tact, to think it over thoroughly. A proposal like a trip to places of military glory, where in the middle of the last century, the landing troops destroyed the German fascists, is more suitable for retirees. It is better for active soldiers to choose something more neutral, otherwise it is easy to go too far with pathos.

For sure, representatives of the Airborne Forces will be happy with the personalized watch of the army sample. An added benefit if this watch is shockproof and waterproof. Many fighters of this kind of troops appreciate songs with a guitar. Therefore, an acoustic instrument can be an excellent choice. He will almost certainly be received with gratitude.

You can make a real surprise with your own hands. Themed postcards and decorative sculptures, stucco and woodcarvings, origami and artistic drawings - the scope is almost limitless. But in any case, you need to choose only what really turns out well. Otherwise, there is a great risk of disappointing both yourself and the addressee. Former paratroopers may also like a paintball or airsoft session.

But we must carefully ask the people themselves about this. Some of them may be contemptuous or condescending to this type of training. And this attitude is especially common among the active military. If there is a choice of what is better to hand over to the retiree, it is more correct to pay attention to themed video games. But the toy must be carefully selected; realism must be carefully observed.

Any defender of the country will definitely appreciate a cake or pie with a themed image baked with his own hand. Of course, this is a "one-time" gift, but as a demonstration of the relationship it will come in handy. Those who are not too friendly with the culinary arts can choose to schedule the mug on their own. Another possible option is for the whole family to prepare a thematic poster based on photographs taken during the service. The same photographs can be used for a graceful army album.

Possessing the skills of video editing at an amateur level, it will not be difficult to prepare a video or slideshow. This is a long-lasting present that will delight people from year to year. As for comic gifts, some of them can still bring joy to the gifted warriors.

This includes impromptu "credentials", "permitting":

• make soft landings;
• be proud;
• deliver fear to the enemy;
• get access to fountains;
• something else thematic (for which there is enough imagination).

And for the beginning of the holiday, a cake with a dedication is well suited. It is not recommended to put off such a surprise until the evening. Only a few gallant warriors will then be able to fully enjoy it immediately.

If nothing suitable is quickly found in the shops of the city, you can always take a little initiative. A very good gift will be a bottle with your favorite drinks, independently painted "in the subject". Those who know how to sew can even make a woven paratrooper figurine to be worn on this bottle. Either embroider a handmade towel with such a figure or something else.For example, an ordinary faceted glass with a military emblem will look much nicer.

Those who have long (or recently) retired will be more pleased with gifts that reflect their passions. For example, fishing enthusiasts will be satisfied with a folding chair or a warm padded mat. You can even try to understand deeper, and choose one or another tackle, a useful auxiliary device.

Retirees will be delighted to receive a "real" army belt.

From souvenirs, flasks, lighters, cups, tokens are suitable; if the anniversary from the beginning of the service is also approaching, it is worth ordering the decoration of these accessories with a dedication.

When choosing a gift for active soldiers, you can often stumble upon recommendations to purchase lighters in the form of grenades, stacks that look like cartridges, and the like. But one must understand that such surprises will please only those who smoke and drink accordingly. And not every paratrooper, contrary to the common stereotype, is subject to these bad habits. Sometimes you can, in general, deeply offend the addressee with such presents. Much depends on tact and sensitivity.

If there are sufficient funds, they acquire portraits in which the gifted are shown in the form of some kind of celebrity. Most of all, of course, the images of Russian commanders and heroes of different eras are suitable. But if it is known that the paratrooper is carried away by a certain historical person or our contemporary, it is worth individualizing the gift.

Sometimes it becomes a good idea and a collection knife or other edged weapon. True, it is necessary to clarify in advance whether a permit for such an item is required. Otherwise, it will be very inconvenient if the gift is soon confiscated, and in addition, a fine will be imposed for wearing it openly or transporting it in a car (in transport).

In conclusion, we will indicate alternative options for presentations for the paratrooper:

• casual clothing or camouflage bedding;
• the same sports bags or backpacks;
• personalized custom-made caps;
• hike to the shooting range;
• boxing gloves or punching bags with emblems.

The following gift will help the paratrooper to remember the day of the Airborne Forces celebration.
