What to give to colleagues on February 23?

Usually it is much easier to choose a gift for your man to any lady than to come up with a gift idea for male colleagues. In each work collective, it is customary to congratulate the representatives of the stronger sex on Defender of the Fatherland Day, regardless of whether they served in the army or not. Therefore, the task of planning such gifts turns into a reason for serious disputes and reflections in the female part of the collective.

Gifts for male colleagues are more complex, since all the men in the work collective are different - in height, weight, age, hobby and characters. And for this reason, it is absolutely impossible to buy everything for a pair of socks and shower gel. (they also use different cosmetic and care products, there is no opportunity to please everyone).

It would seem that in the modern world the choice of gifts is facilitated by online stores, where you can find a variety of souvenirs and cool gifts. But here's the problem: you can always order one or two souvenirs, but not every first and even every second warehouse of an online store can afford to have several dozen of similar things for a large and friendly work collective.

Meanwhile, the men are waiting for gifts on February 23 and with some excitement they think about what their beautiful colleagues will invent this time. Ladies want both to please and surprise men, and also to take into account the peculiarities and specifics of male psychology and the profession in which the heroes of the occasion work. Women are arranged so that they are sensitive to the choice of gifts, even if they are collective gifts for colleagues.

And it is quite understandable that the desire not just to give men at work bags with something on duty and painfully sore, but sincerely surprise them, please, bestow something usefulAfter all, rationality is the hallmark of any man.

Much depends on the budget.which has a female part of the team. Female heads very often allocate certain amounts for gifts for men. In this case, we can assume that your colleagues are lucky - more opportunities. If the chef is a man, then with high probability he will not allocate money for gifts by February 23. Therefore, women will have to fold their blood, who as much as you can, and then calculate what the cost of one present can be calculated.

Of course, it is important what exactly will be put in a bag or box, but no less important how it will be presented. Therefore, to choose gifts and prepare a men's holiday should start with a discussion of this particular part. It often happens that the idea of ​​a gift is born already in the course of preparation. First of all, eliminate all methods of congratulations that you used earlier (general collection in the director's office, in accounting, putting gifts on the tables of employees, while they are having lunch, and so on).

Feel free to experiment - the female part of the team, dressed in field caps with a toy weapon in their hands, marching around the company with a front-line song to command the men to congratulate the men, will have a much greater effect. For a long time this event will be discussed in your team.

As for gifts directly, you can give something from the list of universal gifts that are most popular for giving gifts to colleagues at work. Here are the most current offers.

Recently, draws, which are arranged by people and organizations specializing in this, are gaining momentum. At your office, for example, on the eve of the men's holiday, the robbers in masks and with weapons may attack, or tax inspectors or policemen can welcome you.

What other variants of unusual gifts with a fair amount of sense of humor can be presented to your male colleagues, worth considering more.

• Mini punching bag. This is a desktop version, which, despite its small size, it is quite possible to vent bad mood and failure, if the day has not been set since morning.

• Beer helmet This is a helmet-shaped headpiece fitted with a tube system. It is enough to put it on the head and lower the tube into the drink - everything works and the hands are free.
• Striptease mugs. This is a good gift for a young team with a normal sense of humor (older colleagues may not understand the creative givers). When the contents of the cup are heated, the female figures on it will undress, and as the tea or coffee cools down, they will dress back.
• Movable alarm clock. This is a great gift for men who are constantly late for work. To turn off this, you will have to leave the cozy bed anyway, because for this you first need to catch the alarm clock, because it runs, flies, crawls, rushes about and tries its best to dodge the discontented master.
• Flash card of unusual design. And useful, and very nice. For example, you can give your colleagues a flash card in the form of a bullet, grenade, underwater mine or tank, car and other things traditionally associated with men.
• Hammocks for feet. This is a great gift for office workers who have to sit in one place all day. Hammocks are mounted under the desk between the sides. In them, legs can comfortably relax in limbo while their owner is working diligently on the boss's instructions.
• Keyring with feedback to search for lost keys. You can attach it to both car and home keys. If a man forgets where he put them, the keys themselves will notify him of their place of deployment with the original whistle, which will be issued in response to the whistle or the master’s claps.
• Book with a secret. This is a great option for legal zanachek. In appearance, there is a thick volume of the “Combined Arms Charter” or “Melee Tactics”, and inside there is an excellent cache for small men's secrets.
• Forbes magazine with a photo of each colleague on the cover. It is made to order at an advertising agency or organizations specializing in jokes and holidays. The effect is unforgettable, but mainly on office workers, because the majority of men in the housing department or the factory may not be told the name of the magazine, then the gift will be perceived with bewilderment.

To make a holiday for men at work, it is not at all necessary to have a large amount of money. Even symbolic, simple, small gifts can deliver a lot of fun and be useful for the stronger sex. Cheap gift or expensive - it is not so important. It is much more important that the present “hit the mark” and delight the heroes of the occasion. Let's look at some of the gift options that can be made in conditions of a very limited budget.

• Spade for raking money. It will be necessary to buy the simplest sapper shovel (price from 200 rubles), to stick on it souvenir coins - the gift is ready. After the holiday, when a man looking at a gift, it is enough that someday he will row money with a shovel, a deminer shovel will be worthy of use in the household.
• Diplomas, awards and certificates. Nominal diplomas "The best driver in the world", "The best defender of the Fatherland" and others with the name of the hero of the occasion, as well as the award medal or order will be an excellent gift. The cost of the venture is also low - no more than 300 rubles.
• T-shirts with funny inscriptions. The subject can be any, but it is better if it is still a military holiday. And also it is necessary to take into account the build and size of each man in your team. T-shirt is always there, where to wear.
• Pad in the car. The inscription can be any, for example, “I am the supreme commander in chief!” Or “Stand! At attention! "

A good option for those who have not managed to choose from this list of something suitable for themselves is the purchase of a gift certificate (their cost usually starts from 500 rubles).

Unsuccessful gifts to colleagues should be considered all that somehow affect the personality and personal space of a person, hinting at his shortcomings. For example, It's silly to give a certificate to the gym or pool to a team of office workers, two-thirds of whom are overweight. The rush, of course, is understandable, it can even be considered good, but such a gift will surely cause an offense. Be calm, on March 8 your men will definitely take revenge on you with the same coin.

Considering the degree of closeness of relations (and it’s business with colleagues), it’s not worth giving clothes, accessories, such as pants, melts, belts and ties. The same ban applies to perfumery. The only acceptable option is a gift certificate in a perfumery network, where a man himself can choose the fragrance that he likes. Avoid useless gifts.
