This year my husband and I celebrated 10 years of our relationship. This is our eleventh New Year's Eve. Can you imagine how many gifts have already been donated and how I rack my brains every time so as not to repeat myself? I share my ideas!
This New Year I have surpassed myself in originality - I give my husband a nice leather work chair. How I transported him to the house and hid a huge box so that my husband would not see it ahead of time is another story. The chair now, in principle, will not interfere with anyone, many of us spend time at home at the computer. My man spends a lot of time every day in his home office, and our chair is already quite old, so the idea of a gift was born easily this time.
In February, we start a series of holidays, first - my husband's birthday, then St. Valentine's Day, and - February 23rd. On February 23, I have already decided on a gift - I will give new dumbbells. It will be a weighty present. Not so long ago, my other half began to do exercises in the morning, so I think dumbbells will come in handy.
For my birthday, I always try to make not just a gift, but some interesting surprise. Last year, a week before the X-day, despite the cold at minus 25 Celsius, I ran all over the city: I delivered gifts in accordance with the "treasure map" drawn up in advance. There were several gifts: a new belt, a keychain, the design of which I thought up myself in accordance with the work of my husband, a wallet, a large interior image of the logo of his company.
I will list what I gave and planned to give in the near future:
- a telescope (I ordered it on ebay, my husband was very surprised);
- a large radio-controlled helicopter (this was last New Year's, the gift was delighted);
- certificate for a massage course;
- trite, but: shirts, sweaters, etc. etc., choose what is guaranteed to please;
- auto registrar (I gave a dear one with a bunch of functions, I really liked the gift, but, unfortunately, I had to return it back to the store - in our cold weather the registrar sometimes turned off. I recommend looking at the reviews. For the future, I still have plans to try my luck again and still give the registrar, but so far I have not found guaranteed frost-resistant ones);
- car vacuum cleaner;
- auto blanket;
- watches (at the same time, I wanted to somehow surprise my beloved, he loves all sorts of new technologies, so I chose a watch with a solar battery, and in the future I also plan to give a watch with a kinetic mechanism, if you give a watch, you can make an engraving on the back side);
- purse, belts, gloves;
- in addition to the main birthday present - a cheesecake cake from a cafe where my husband likes to order this dessert;
- red caviar in a container in the shape of a heart - presented on Valentine's Day;
- bag - my husband has a rather heavy leather shoulder bag, which he takes with him when we walk, decided to replace it with a lighter and more compact one in the near future;
- hand trainer for hands (suitable for those who work a lot at the computer, choose a good model with a counter);
- before the hand trainers appeared, I gave my husband jade balls, they are rolled in the palms, thereby kneading the hand and fingers;
- weekend in nature - a certificate for two days at the recreation center;
- I dream of giving a flight in an airplane and in a hot air balloon, but so far there are simply no such services in our small town;
- perfect sweater. This is a very interesting gift that needs to be prepared in advance. A questionnaire was compiled with questions and answers, as a result of filling in which we get a portrait of what the ideal sweater looks like from the point of view of our man, and order it in the atelier. The most interesting thing is that the interviewed man does not know that the questionnaire was actually made in order to give him a sweater, we sound it like a psychological test and interpret his answers for the man himself from the point of view of psychology.
- a sweet gift - a box of kinder surprises (may come up on February 14);
- a subscription to the pool;
- a set "everything for the pool": a sports bag in which swimming trunks, swimming goggles, flip-flops, a towel, shower gel and shampoo in a mini-package, a swimming cap, snorkels for diving - in general, everything you need to visit pool;
- organizer in the trunk of a car, there are such things on Chinese sites, while this gift is only in the plans;
- car covers;
- gift certificate to a sports store.
The list, of course, is far from complete. To all of the above, I would like to add: I definitely try to make a surprise out of the gift, I always pack in an original way, but on such a holiday as a birthday, I certainly decorate the apartment with balloons, I can make a wall newspaper or some interesting congratulation, I light candles on the cake and that's it. stuff like that.
No matter how adults we are, the feeling of celebration and surprise always manages to melt our heart and allow us to plunge into childhood a little. Well, to be the very person who arranges a holiday and gives gifts is generally a wonderful feeling, I recommend everyone to try it.
