Choosing a gift for a man is usually not an easy task. And if a man is a representative of the armed forces, and at the same time is not just a representative, but, as it is sung in a once popular song, “a real colonel,” then the problem becomes almost insoluble.

Instructions
Step 1
Have you been invited to a birthday, anniversary, housewarming or some other celebration, the culprit of which is a man with the rank of colonel? Start immediately thinking about what to give. To do this, try to remember what he loves and what - not very much, and if nothing worthy comes to mind, then try to make inquiries. If even after asking common acquaintances you still know about the hero of the occasion only that he is a colonel of the gallant Russian army, you will have to somehow get out.
Step 2
Do not forget that colonels are ordinary people, they only walk in uniform and have a commanding voice, so nothing human is alien to them. And if we take into account that the rank of colonel cannot be received before 40-45 years, then the range of possible gifts narrows. Do not give a military man fashionable youth equipment. It is unlikely that a man of this age will appreciate the latest model player or cool digital camera. Therefore, as a present, it is still better for you to choose something not from the hi-tech sphere, or, if you still want to donate equipment, give it something that is not “too smart”. A soldier is unlikely to spend his free time dealing with instructions.
Step 3
The problem of choosing a gift for a colonel can be approached in a non-standard way. Show your imagination and make your own military doll. If hand made is too complicated for you, go shopping. In case you don’t find any funny trinkets, a regular military souvenir will do. For example, a personalized flask or a knife with a carved handle could be a great gift for a colonel if, after purchasing the item, you are not lazy and engrave on it. The main thing in this business is not to overdo it with creativity. Even Confucius and Aristotle wrote about the great importance of the "golden mean".
Step 4
After you have finally decided on a gift, do not forget to attach a postcard to it. This, of course, is a trifle, but in your case you cannot do without it. As a rule, the military prefer traditions, and the relationship between the holiday and the postcard goes back to their distant childhood.
Step 5
Another detail is that men, like women, love to receive flowers. They are simply uncomfortable to admit it. Therefore, go to the flower shop in advance and order a solid bouquet as a gift for a Real man.
