On this day, it is customary to give gifts to fathers, grandfathers, uncles, brothers, father-in-law, godfathers, sons-in-law, colleagues and close friends, regardless of whether they served in the Armed Forces, are military personnel at the moment or not. Presents are usually given to all men and boys, regardless of their age and occupation.
It is worth considering what is best to give to a friend on February 23, which gift options would be most appropriate as a gift for a close friend. When choosing a gift, it is important to remember that friends are people who have many common interests, similar hobbies, habits and even lifestyle. Due to this, it is not difficult to choose a good gift for a friend, it is enough to take into account his preferences and hobbies. But there are several other factors that you definitely need to pay attention to.
Gifts of Interest
If your friend is interested in any kind of sport, then a great sports accessory that will be useful to him while attending trainings or classes will be a wonderful gift. For example, you can donate a soccer ball if he is fond of football, or boxing gloves if he attends boxing. A joint bowling or billiard trip will be a good gift for a friend on February 23.
If your friend has a favorite band, then, most likely, he will be delighted with the ticket you donated to her concert. By the way, you can go there together, if, of course, you also share his musical preferences.
A nice dinner for a friend will be a pleasant dinner in the company of old friends, and as a treat you can order pizza or rolls with home delivery. If you love and know how to cook, then a cake made by yourself will be an excellent gift. It can be decorated in honor of the holiday defender of the Fatherland, using any military symbols. You can bake such a cake with your friend's favorite kind of filling, for example, with a cream based on boiled condensed milk, chocolate or whipped cream, depending on the taste.
This will show an individual approach that will not go unnoticed and will certainly be appreciated. But this option will appeal to all the sweet tooth. If a comrade loves pizza or a kuette more, then all this can be prepared instead of a cake if desired, and with the availability of skills.
Even as a gift for a friend, you can choose a beautiful warm sweater, shirt or t-shirt. The main thing - do not make a mistake with the size, color and style. It is best to first discuss with the seller the possibility of return and exchange, if you do not guess with the size or model, so that you can easily exchange a thing or return a cash equivalent. If you are limited in finances, you can choose an inexpensive and good gift. For example, a phone case, a warm scarf, a key chain on the keys of any military theme (in the form of a grenade, a sleeve, an airplane or a tank).
Separately, I want to say about the notorious shaving foam, which, although some members of the stronger sex are banal for commonplace, but at the same time such a gift is never superfluous in the household of a young man, and in any case all the bottles and bottles will empty after some time.
Universal Gifts
Perfumes and various cosmetics are also timeless classics in the list of the most popular gifts for a friend.They are inferior to the championship only socks. Thanks to the original and diverse prints, these products can complement any wardrobe with bright colors and positive, especially if your friend has a good sense of humor. Funny socks with emoticons, which will cheerfully look out from under the jeans, emphasize the cheerful disposition of your friend. A variety of images can be used: food, drinks, gadgets, cartoon characters, comic inscriptions and much more. Such a gift will certainly make your friend smile.
Gadgets are one of the most popular categories when choosing a gift for a friend on February 23. Headphones, portable powerful speaker, fitness bracelet, smart watches and much more, which your friend will certainly enjoy.
This kind of gadgets, he will always find application in his daily life.
A good idea for a gift would be helium balloons of a military theme and colors. You can decorate them with inscription and congratulations. It is very convenient that such balls can be purchased with delivery to your home or office, if you and a friend work together. A colorful fountain of balls will give the celebration a special mood and atmosphere.
Gift certificates for a certain amount are becoming increasingly popular as a gift for a friend. Such a certificate can be purchased at a shoe store, clothes, cosmetics and perfumes, in the spa or fitness center. Such a gift allows the owner to choose what he likes best. A gift certificate for visiting a Barbershop or a hairdresser will also be a pleasant and useful gift for a friend. When purchasing a certificate, a very convenient factor is that its cash equivalent varies from modest amounts to larger ones. Thus, everyone will be able to choose exactly the option that would be most appropriate for him, depending on financial possibilities.
Gifts to a friend who has a girlfriend
Special situation can be considered if your friend has a girlfriend or spouse. For such a case, when a gift is presented by a girlfriend, there are limitations. A gift should not compromise your friend and have no romantic connotations, because you do not want your friend to quarrel with his girlfriend over your fault. Therefore, for a friend who is already in a relationship or married, you can limit yourself to some useful book or gift of a neutral nature. If you work together, you can donate an organizer, a beautiful nominal pen or a large calendar that your friend can use exclusively in the workplace, avoiding a mass of counter questions from his companion.
Of course, not all girls are jealous, there are pleasant exceptions to the rule when a friend and a girlfriend of a friend are friends. But often gifts from girlfriends are perceived by the wives and girls of the boyfriend with wariness or some irritability.
It is necessary to treat this with understanding and not to hold resentment in the shower, but simply put yourself in the place of this girl to look at the situation with your own eyes.
Perhaps you, too, would be unpleasant if a friend made gifts or provided other signs of attention to your young man. Diplomacy in this matter will only add points to you, and a good and strong friendship will unite even more, since your respect for your friend's companion will not go unnoticed.
If you could not find the right gift, try to remember what your buddy recently dreamed of. Perhaps he said aloud some of his wishes, discussed his further plans, for example, he wanted to have a dog, a parrot, a cat, go on a trip to the mountains or buy some useful thing for the house. Perhaps it is you who can help him fulfill his dream or bring it closer as far as possible.
Regardless of how much a gift will cost, a friend will appreciate your reverent attitude and care for him, because the main thing is attention.
