New Year is one of the most beloved and desired holidays all over the world. An important role in the pre-New Year atmosphere is played by the choice of gifts for family and friends. Despite the fact that store shelves are bursting with tempting offers, sometimes the choice of a gift leads us to a dead end, so I suggest looking at the choice of presentations a little differently.
Minimalists are particularly practical and scrupulous. They use things for their intended purpose and, as a rule, try to avoid unnecessary items in the surrounding space. It is also worth noting that minimalists often love simple, laconic forms and maintain cleanliness. Based on these character traits, gifts will be selected.
It is difficult to please practical people, a gift for them must be "necessary", otherwise you are at great risk, and the thing you donated will be classified as "dust collectors" or outright "trash". Minimalists are less fond of surprises, so it is better to find out in advance about their desires, planned purchases, or at least about their preferences.
Do not be alarmed, by and large a gift just needs to be meaningful, and such things can be found in various categories. For example, for a minimalist colleague, a writing pen or notebook might work. Why? These things have a direct purpose, they do not need to be "brought to mind" or adjusted to the usual course of life. Believe me, if you give a statuette, a symbol of the year, then the maximum, it will just stay somewhere in the corner of the bedside table, and annoy the person every time.
For a minimalist who is your relative or close friend, you can choose something from a household theme, but this something should be 100% combined with the interior of the minimalist's home. Such gifts are difficult to present as a surprise, so it is better to talk with the donee in advance. Perhaps you will settle for a good blanket, a set of bedding in the general range of the bedroom, or pick up a new set of dishes.
Money. Whoever says what, money is a good gift for a minimalist, even if the amount is small, it will come in handy. The main thing is not to ask afterwards what the donated amount was spent on!
As for gift certificates, it is worth giving them if you are 100% sure of the need for such a gift, and it is better, in general, to dwell on the previous version and just give the amount in its pure form, and in the accompanying postcard just write the spending options, so you will add in such a gift a touch of creativity.
Do not focus on multi-piece gift sets, choose one, but really necessary thing. And also a good option for this group of people is tasty, high-quality food, because its main advantage is that food does not gather dust on the shelves, but brings short-term pleasure!
