New Year is perhaps the only holiday of the year, always shrouded in an atmosphere of fabulousness and mystery. This feeling is created largely thanks to the good tradition of mutual exchange of New Year's gifts.
Each of us tries to give our family, friends or colleagues at least a small souvenir on a festive night, receiving positive emotions and a joyful smile in return. At the same time, I really want the gift to be liked and useful to the recipient. The following few tips and ideas will help make choosing a gift easier.
What not to give
Even if you have enough time to buy a gift, it is easy to succumb to the temptation and start sweeping away the tasteless New Year's trinkets, made in the form of symbols of the coming year according to the Chinese calendar. It is better to abandon this practice, especially since often for the cost of a banal souvenir you can buy something more meaningful - good book, a small set of dishes. The only exception would be the case when the gift is intended for a person who collects such items as a hobby.Another group of gifts that should be avoided are perfumes and cosmetics, including decorative ones. Most likely, the future donor will not be able to choose the right scent or shade, and will not know what type of skin or what hair will require creams, masks, lotions and other similar products. For approximately the same reasons, you should not give clothes, especially underwear (unless, of course, the gift is intended for a close family member): the size can still be guessed from time to time, but preferences cannot. In both cases, a gift certificate will be a good alternative, the lucky owner of which will be able to choose something to suit his taste.
New Year gift ideas for those closest to you
Choosing gifts for your family members is not as easy as it might seem. The thing is that in this case you have to fight the urge to give something practical, like another saucepan or a pair of good socks. We should not forget that the New Year is a time for the fulfillment of cherished desires, so forget about practicality and try to quietly find out what the people around you want. It’s convenient if loved ones for whom gifts are bought use wish lists: links to them can sometimes be found in profiles in in social networks. If there is no wish list, then you should try harder and remember if there were any specific wishes regarding the gift - or even ask directly and give exactly what was “ordered”.Santa Claus will help you find the answer to the question of what to give your child. If your child still firmly believes in his existence, invite him, on his own or with the help of adults, to write a letter to his fairy-tale grandfather. This way, you will find out what the baby wants most, and you will definitely be able to please with a gift. Young children most often dream about new toys, books, and pets. Advanced teenagers will definitely like some modern gadget or a wardrobe item that is fashionable among young people.
There are a lot of ideas about what to give your mother. Our closest people are used to denying themselves a lot in favor of their family, so the New Year is an excellent occasion to pamper mommy. Give her a certificate for a trip to the spa, tickets to a concert of her favorite artist, an interesting excursion, or any of the items that make everyday life easier.
The greatest confusion when buying New Year's gifts is the question of what to give to the husband or what to give to the wife. In this case, the following tips will help you navigate in the right direction:
Any man will be pleased to receive something related to his hobby. Even if you curse fishing, hunting or football 364 days a year, make an exception on New Year's Eve. Believe me, you yourself will get a lot of pleasure watching how your husband enjoys a new spinning rod, hunting flask or tickets to a football match.
If the spouse is a car enthusiast, then a win-win option will be purchasing any accessories for his iron lady. What exactly to buy can be suggested by your husband’s friends or the employees of the station where he services the car.
With women everything is much simpler. As a rule, they themselves long before the holiday different ways hint at the desired gift. The main thing is to notice the hint in time. If on the eve of the New Year your wife began to complain that her favorite perfume was running out, or instead of a friend she began to take you shopping on various occasions, pestering you with the question “well, how do you like this dress (earrings, ring, etc.)”, is a direct signal to action. Remember - ladies can never have enough dresses, jewelry and cosmetics.
Original gifts for the New Year
It often happens that the person to whom you want to give a gift is wealthy, and it is difficult to surprise him with material things. Especially if the donor does not have large funds.From such a situation there is very good way out- give vivid impressions or memories!
You can also make a gift yourself
Select photographs that reflect the most pleasant and joyful moments in a person’s life and arrange them in a beautiful photo book, collage, or mount and burn a slide show to disk. By the way, there will also be a variety of gift certificates. For example, a certificate for a parachute jump or a mind-blowing hot air balloon flight.
Secret Santa rules
In a large group, a game called “Secret Santa” will help make the traditional gift-giving procedure more exciting and fun. She will definitely bring an element of festive mystery to a corporate event.The essence and rules of the game are as follows. A few weeks before the New Year, all employees get together, write their names on identical pieces of paper and put them in some container. After this, the contents of the vessel are mixed, and each of the workers pulls out one piece of paper with a name. According to the terms of the game, he is obliged to give a gift to a colleague whose name is written on a piece of paper. The purchased gift is not presented personally, but signed and placed under the corporate Christmas tree. This way, an exciting intrigue is maintained, because the person who received the gift can only guess who it came from. This method of giving gifts is also suitable for big family or company.
How to wrap a gift beautifully
Gift packaging is no less important than the present itself, since even the sight of beautifully wrapped boxes creates a festive mood and gives anticipation of something special. This issue should be approached creatively. For example, to have fun and keep the intrigue longer, you can pack a small gift in a huge box or use several boxes of different sizes inserted into one another. The design itself welcomes traditional New Year's colors - white, red, green, as well as various symbols of the upcoming holiday in the form of snowflakes, sleighs, deer, snowmen and other paraphernalia. Don't forget to include a small card with warm wishes in the box.The editors of the site advise you to take the choice of New Year's gifts responsibly, and then you will receive no less a portion of pleasure than from receiving them!

On New Year's Day, I want to give everyone a piece of my attention and warmth. Lots of friends and acquaintances - great! But on the eve of the holiday, when the personal budget is already bursting at the seams, this fact can confuse anyone.
It is clear that a gift to friends and a gift to acquaintances are not entirely equivalent concepts. You can present something formal to your friends, such as a regular chocolate bar or a small souvenir, although there are more ideas. For friends, you need to choose something so that the New Year's gift will surprise, delight and hit the nail on the head, but at the same time be inexpensive. This results in an equation with three unknowns. Let's try to solve this difficult problem.
New Year's gifts for friends
You can simply ask your closest, most sincere friend what she would like to receive. This will not look tactless, will make the task much easier and will allow you to choose a really good, inexpensive gift. Sometimes even a cash equivalent will help out if a friend wants to buy something, but is limited in her own funds.
In other cases, you need to remember what feminine joys are not alien to your friends. Here are some options for:
- set of nail polishes,
- pen in the shape of a lipstick,
- stylish case for tablet or phone,
- allspice in a jar with a mill,
- funny slippers,
- kit for embroidery or other types of needlework.
If you are invited to a friend's house to celebrate the New Year, then you can limit yourself to an edible gift. Bake a delicious cake, make an original salad or unusual snack. Take with you your culinary masterpiece, a bottle of champagne, a chocolate figurine of the symbol of the year or a postcard with wishes and go visit. Let the present be eaten, but it will not gather dust on the shelf.
Men's New Year's gifts
It’s difficult to extract a stingy man’s tear of delight from a friend, especially with an inexpensive New Year’s gift. But you can at least not disappoint, show that you share or respect his interests and hobbies. Whether a car is a source of pride or desire for a friend, whether he is building a career or likes to joke - you know better. A small gift can be chosen to suit every taste:
- key fob lock defroster,
- “tenacious” car panel mat,
- computer mouse,
- pen or flash drive with car logo,
- a knife or flashlight in the shape of a bank card,
- T-shirt “office dress code”,
- relaxing anti-stress toy,
- table darts,
- handle with a cap in the form of a spoon or fork,
- cool fireworks.
There are also inexpensive unisex items that will suit young friends:
- original headphones (mushrooms, cat's paws, bananas),
- glowing sneaker laces,
- touch screen gloves,
- knitted amigurumi figures.
For a friend who is a connoisseur of alcohol - a favorite drink, for a gourmet - a delicacy, for a sweet tooth - a cake or chocolate. Men enjoy food and don’t hide it!

- pair keychain “Symbol of love”,

- puzzles are a fun activity for winter evenings,
- automatic watering for flowers,
- cool glasses, glasses, beer glasses,
- a bottle of red wine and a mulled wine mixture.
A good present could be a family photo in a beautiful frame, a song or poem you wrote in their honor. And if you have a pet and endless love for it, you can safely give delicious food or some accessory for this full-fledged family member. Delight and gratitude will not keep you waiting.
