What to give a builder?
The selection of gifts for professionals in different fields is both simple and complex at the same time. Simple, because the main proposals are "obvious", but difficult, because it is difficult for an outsider to make the right decision. That is why it is very important to know what to give to the same builders, focusing on the recommendations of knowledgeable people.
Choosing gifts for Builder's Day
A professional holiday seems like a good occasion to present a themed item. But here you need a lot of tact and attentiveness. Many people systematically receive just such gifts, and, in the end, it gets very tiring. A feeling of monotony may appear. But nevertheless, it is worthwhile to first analyze the thematic solutions.
Those employed in the construction industry are sometimes given tool kits. It should be remembered, however, that such a surprise is mostly suitable for beginners. Experienced professionals are guaranteed to have a suitable kit, which they have already selected themselves. If we talk about practical gifts for the builder's day, then almost the best option might be a helmet. Especially if it is decorated with an original motto - "Don't stand under the load of problems" or some other funny phrase.
A good choice would be theme poster... It is prepared with your own hands or ordered from a printing house. In the second case, you will have to pay maximum attention to thinking over the concept of the poster. Hardly anyone will like the template solution. If this solution does not fit in principle, you can try to make a model of this or that building.
Other souvenirs are also noteworthy. For example, "Construction" chess or other board game. A suitable plot in it - representatives of various construction professions, leading an intense struggle with building materials and structural elements. The complete set of elements is selected individually. The exclusive set of figurines will appeal even to those who are already tired of other themed surprises.
It is also important to present the gift for the Builder's Day correctly. It would be a good idea to an impromptu cache of bricks, inside which the desired item is placed. The gifted will have to not create, but carefully dismantle the "structure", otherwise they will not get to the surprise.
Another good gift would be an atypical table setting. This can be a display of dishes in the form:
- towers;
- tower crane;
- high house;
- architectural landmark.
Returning to business surprises, the stationery kit is worth mentioning. The best option is a notebook (or notebook), fountain pens and pencils. But it should be remembered that very cheap options will not work.
Not a bad choice can be graceful wallet. Although it is already picked up rather not as a surprise, but together with the addressees themselves, taking into account their tastes.
Emphasizing the importance of a person for oneself and at the same time solving a practically important task will help pencil sets... With their help, you can quickly sketch sketches, capture and thereby save your thoughts. You can safely give a similar present:
- designers;
- architects;
- construction designers;
- civil engineers;
- communications specialists.
Yes, there is a place for such sets even in everyday life. But ordinary bricklayers, crane operators, concrete workers or even foremen are unlikely to like them. What exactly unites construction professionals, regardless of profile, is that they need to relax periodically. After all, this activity is distinguished by tension and greatly tires even enthusiastic people.
Therefore, "rock gardens" or other accessories for relaxation deserve attention. Such a surprise should be safely given not only to relatives, friends, but also to colleagues or subordinates.
And also useful for relieving stress symbolic sets of chocolate "tools"... For a person who is really keen on construction, and not just engaged in it, for material reasons, Lego sets will come in handy. With their help, it will also be possible to create visual models of future buildings. Yes, and for "rolling in" various options, for the creative search of the designer, this solution is almost ideal.
A very good option: unobtrusively find out if some instrument has broken, and donate it exactly. A builder is a person who, by definition, values practicality and doesn't like unsuccessful, useless things too much. Therefore, it is advisable to consult with them. It is better to miss the opportunity to surprise than to make a mistake. To exclude it, you can focus not on the main occupation, but on the extraneous hobbies of the addressees.
What to give for your birthday?
A logical gift for a builder celebrating a birthday or anniversary might be training courses or some other training program. Important: if it is known that a person is very busy now, or soon his workload will increase, it is appropriate to pay attention to specialized literature. You can get to know her almost without interrupting your main activity. In order not to buy what is already known to the addressee, it is worth familiarizing yourself with his library. Even better - pay for a subscription to a specialized magazine, there will definitely be fresh information.
Any people who often visit a construction site find it useful to purchase overalls. After all, they are constantly in contact with dirt and even endangered. But it should be borne in mind that birthday is clearly a less official holiday than Builder's Day. Therefore, you can focus on objects with unusual features.... They may well have a practical role - as is the case with a table lamp resembling a skyscraper or a tower crane.
People who have worked a lot and fruitfully need rest. Therefore, gifts such as:
- vouchers to the sanatorium;
- vouchers to the resort;
- skydiving or flying in a wind tunnel;
- subscriptions to the pool, to the gym;
- hot air balloon flights;
- excursion to remarkable places nearby;
- visiting Turkish and other exotic baths.
May be used to improve mood small sculptures with thematic content. Sometimes it is enough to donate one or more figurines, and soon the birthday person himself will begin to collect the collection. A good alternative can be and three-dimensional puzzles. Using them, it is easy to embody creativity and develop logic. So that the builder can be in touch all the time and not risk a mobile phone, he should give wrist holder.
Since there are often not enough electrical outlets on the construction site, donating solar chargers. Builders who appreciate humor will love helmet with can holders. And in order to eat peacefully even at the workplace, they will come in handy lunchboxes, thermo mugs and thermoses.
Important: donating plastic food containers is undesirable. This is a frankly cheap gift that looks more like an attempt to get rid of the person.
In their free time, builders will be happy to play a board game. It will come in handy during breaks, and at home in the evenings or on weekends. And also it is worth considering the option with "tasty" presents, such as:
- a box of chocolates of the original type;
- elite alcohol;
- a set of expensive tea or coffee.
Very often builders have to work outdoors. Therefore, raincoats are useful in wet weather, and in frosts - thermal underwear. The same accessories will help out in everyday life, and on the way to work or back.
But there is another option: gift of tickets to the cinema, to the theater, to sporting events or concerts. The main thing is to know what exactly the addressee likes (or might like).
What to present for the New Year?
New Year's holidays are just the time when the builder can relax and get maximum pleasure, feel freedom. At this time, as well as on a birthday, the following may come in handy:
- vouchers;
- tickets to various entertainment events;
- excursions and educational programs.
It will be best if you order them for two or for a family. Then it will turn out to be a real family leisure. Any organization dealing with the same excursions can order a certificate with an open date.
Therefore, the choice of a suitable solution is greatly simplified. It will turn out to simultaneously make a surprise and not incur unnecessary expenses.
But some people want to spend time at home, and not go somewhere on the road in the middle of the holidays. Therefore, it is useful to consider another option - household appliances and electronics. If a person has an old phone or tablet, replacing gadgets with more modern ones suggests itself. If funds are available, you can also buy a laptop or netbook, a camera, a video camera. It is worth thinking about giving art book.
The cost of such a presentation can vary greatly. It is not necessary (although desirable) to purchase the gift edition. The main thing is that the gift is well chosen and suits the taste of the person being gifted. Returning to electronic presentations, it is worth pointing out the following options, such as:
- external hard drive or other storage device;
- decorative flash drive of large capacity;
- elegant keyboard or mouse;
- portable printers or scanners (useful for working with documents directly on site);
- backup batteries and chargers.
An original surprise can be horse riding lessons. This will make your life more varied, gain additional skills and stretch your muscles. But we must remember that dressage has contraindications. It will also take a lot of time. From one-time entertainment, an original quest is suitable.
At work, builders have to plan and take into account a lot (regardless of specialization). Therefore, you should think about buying a personalized diary. A stylish looking waterproof, shock and dust resistant wristwatch is also a good choice. For work in the dark or in hard-to-reach places, flashlights are useful.
Finally, a handy duffel bag is a practical gift.
Thematic souvenirs
Special construction souvenirs can be even nicer at times than purely practical gifts. Moreover, these functions can be combined. For example, a set of pencil holders, business card holders made of concrete will look very good on the table. A separate business card holder "Excavator" or stylized for some other technique also looks original. Alternatives might include:
- key rings;
- figurines;
- badges;
- "Certificates of honor";
- figurines;
- comic medals and orders.
