Making gifts is definitely a pleasure. But at the same time every time is rather painful. After all, I want to please the birthday man as much as possible, to receive pleasant emotions and a response from him, so that time and money for the purchase of a gift are not wasted. Now it is difficult to surprise someone, and the more you want to show originality, taste and attention to the person. Consider some interesting ideas for a win-win gift to a male colleague.

Nowadays, the choice of a gift is not a problem. But in some cases this may be a bit problematic. For example, what to give a male colleague for a birthday? To do this, you need to know his tastes, interests, character, take into account his position, and not forget about age.

Even if we choose a gift for a loved one, it can be quite difficult, although we have known this person for many years.

There are several mandatory rules that must be followed when choosing a presentation for a colleague.
