What to Give for a Birthday: The birthday of a loved one is approaching, but there are not so many ideas for what to give him. An ordinary story! For such cases, you need to have an approximate list of gifts, from which at the right time, you need to choose the appropriate option.
For Man
What to give a man for his birthday, of course, depends on his age and interests. However, it is also necessary to consider the relationship between the birthday person and the donor. After all, what his beloved can present to a representative of the more vigorous sex will differ from those gifts that he will receive from distant relatives or friends:
- For anyone who plays sports and generally leads an active lifestyle, it makes sense to present sports equipment. A punching bag and gloves, dumbbells, fitness bracelets, etc. will do. If a man is fond of team sports (football, basketball, etc.) and even is a member of an amateur team, he can find a sports uniform.
- Useful birthday gifts for an office worker are an organizer for a desktop, a diary (always expensive and stylish), a desk clock, etc. When it comes to a gift for the boss, subordinates can purchase a fountain pen (gold or gilded) – this will emphasize the status of a man.
- For those who follow fashion and try to be in trend, the stronger sex representatives will suit a stylish wristwatch or some other accessory. For example, a belt made of genuine (possibly snake or crocodile) leather, branded sunglasses, a wallet, a business card holder, etc. will come in handy.
Distant relatives and colleagues can prepare inexpensive gifts for a man’s birthday. Etiquette is perfectly acceptable. You need to try to find things, albeit budget ones, but still high-quality and useful: an external battery, whiskey stones, a sports wrist case for a smartphone, a thermos, etc.
For Woman
Even when it has already been decided what to give a woman for her birthday, you need to think about it again. You need to remember what she likes, how she prefers to spend her free time, and how she treats gifts in general (she prefers useful things or just memorable ones).
- The representative of the fair sex is waiting for romantic gifts for her birthday, of course, from her loved one. What to choose? Perhaps you should arrange a surprise: write a love letter by hand, invite her on a date in some unusual place, arrange a joint photo session, horse ride, take her out of town for the weekend, etc. But if you want to please with something, let it be individual: an engraved ring, a portrait ordered from a professional artist, a medallion with a photograph, etc.
- A beautiful wallet, bag, umbrella, hairdryer or hair straightener, a good manicure set, watch, etc. will take a worthy place among the practical gifts for a woman.
- Stylish birthday gifts will suit business ladies. It is best to hand over something that will come in handy at work, or some accessory that will give the woman solidity. It can be a leather folder for documents, a severe and expensive case for a tablet or a laptop bag, a business card holder, a key holder, an expensive pen, an organizer or diary, a set of covers, or a cover for a car seat.
Regardless of what a woman is fond of, she will appreciate the original (unusual) birthday gifts. For example, you can buy a breakfast tray or table and decorate it with a photo collage. Or find a world map with an erasable top layer – so the birthday girl can mark all the places she has already visited.
For Kids
For some, the most challenging question is what to give a child for his birthday, because not every kid, and not every teenager knows exactly what he wants. How to deal with this situation? It is best to focus on the age:
- Until about 3 years old, it is best to choose suitable toys as a gift. They must be of good quality, safe, and preferably useful. The designer develops imaginative thinking, various sorters, and lacing – motor skills and logic, musical instruments – hearing, etc.
- Younger schoolchildren will gladly accept all kinds of gadgets, wrist watches, and kits for creativity (especially those with which they can make birthday gifts with their own hands for their best friends – jewelry, soap, magnets), schoolbags and bags, a good telescope, microscope, etc. Whether to give books to schoolchildren is a difficult question. It depends on how the child feels about reading. Perhaps it makes sense to find an e-book so that a boy or girl can download the literature they are interested in.
- A gift for a teenager should be focused on the hobbies of a boy or girl. In some cases, fashionable clothes or accessories are suitable (perhaps a certificate to the appropriate store). For many, a coveted gift is a new gadget, while for others, an excellent musical instrument or equipment, etc.
Conclusion
It is necessary to choose what to present for your birthday in advance. The birthday boy will immediately understand that he is being handed a thing bought at the last moment. Better yet, figure out how to give a presentation in an original way. This will decorate the holiday and make it unforgettable!
