A gift for a birthday or other holiday should be both unexpected for the addressee and at the same time desirable for him. It is quite possible to combine these seemingly contradictory qualities in it if you adhere to a number of rules.
Instructions
Step 1
Make it a rule to never ask the hero of the occasion what exactly he would like to receive as a gift, and also inform him in advance what you want to give him. An exception is the case when the addressee himself expresses his preferences. But even in this case, in addition to the gift he had ordered in advance, he should be given another, unusual one.
Step 2
Avoid donating money and clothing, especially the second. Even if the addressee is a woman. Even if the clothes are unusual. The exception is the so-called functional clothing, which can be simultaneously attributed to gadgets: a jacket with a player, a T-shirt with a WiFi detector or light animation that imitates an old computer game.
Step 3
An electronic cigarette can be a good gift for a smoker. But in this case, it is necessary in advance (six months in advance, so that he does not guess why he is being asked about this) to ask whether he is going to switch to it, especially if it is about an elderly person. Also, do not give this gadget to someone who already has it. In general, try to avoid gifts that might offend the recipient. For example, a set of chess glasses (also an unusual gift!) Will only offend a convinced teetotaler.
Step 4
It is good for an active user of an electronic cigarette to present a set of accessories for it. If he knows how to refuel them on his own, a set of consumables will do. All this must be compatible with exactly the device that he uses.
Step 5
Your friend doesn't want to part with his old mobile phone, but complains that it has all the functions he needs, but lacks a navigation receiver? If his phone has Bluetooth, hand him an external receiver called a puck or mouse in the jargon. If his phone does not have this interface, give him a completely self-contained miniature navigation device - the so-called return.
Step 6
An excellent gift for any person, regardless of his hobbies and profession, is a gyroscopic hand trainer. It can be of any model. This simulator is almost the only one that is not capable of annoying for a long time, moreover, it relieves hand fatigue after prolonged use of the keyboard. Anyone who already has one can be presented with a set of replacement rings that match the model he has.
Step 7
It is best to give a child not a game console, as is often done today (especially since this gift is far from unusual), but a constructor (depending on age, ordinary, electrical, electronic or robotic) or a set for experiments. If he insists on a game console, he will have to give it exactly - but, again, unusual. There are special consoles, games for which are completely devoid of elements of violence, and the manipulators are designed in such a way that during play activities the child has to, for example, swing the racket with the same intensity as in real table tennis.
Step 8
If you are on a budget, make an unusual gift with your own hands. This can be, for example, a beautiful, three-dimensional backlit layout.
Step 9
And the last thing. Remember that the worst places to buy fancy gifts are, oddly enough, specialty shops for fancy gifts. Their assortment, as a rule, consists of half of ordinary trinkets, and the other half of things that can be bought elsewhere, almost half the price.
