What to give to a friend for the New Year?

A friend is a close person, sometimes almost dear, and therefore the question of choosing a gift for her magical New Year holidays becomes quite relevant, because you want to please and surprise your friend and make her a gift that will be useful to her in everyday life. About whether it is possible to combine all this, and what gifts are permissible for girlfriends, will be discussed in this article.

Girlfriends are people we usually know quite well. We know their habits and preferences, tastes and preferences, hobbies and credo. It is difficult for a friend to pick up an inappropriate and indecent gift, given that quite a lot is known about a person, but some succeed. This is how the list of New Year's presents appeared, which should never be presented to girlfriends under any circumstances, of course, if you don’t want to offend a person and ruin a relationship with him.

Firstly, gifts that directly or indirectly may indicate your girlfriend’s faults should be excluded - bathroom scales, a book on dietary nutrition, slimming underwear. Such gifts, even if a woman would like to have them, are offensive. If you really want to bestow a girlfriend corrective underwear or tights, it is better to present a gift certificate in the shop of linen, where the line of such goods is widely represented.

Their same considerations are not worth taking responsibility for the choice of hair dye, perfume or decorative cosmetics, because in these matters the tastes of even very close friends may differ, and significantly.

The New Year is a very symbolic holiday, and therefore it is worth refraining from such gifts as towels and handkerchiefs. The joy of such gifts will be a little, besides, it is considered inappropriate to give people who are not in the circle of your family personal items.

Even if you pick up with great love for a girlfriend a basket of shampoos, shower gels, soap and scrubs, you can not bring her great joy. Such gifts are appropriate from a husband or mother, but in the performance of friends they unwittingly hint at the uncleanliness and untidiness that will give the one who receives the gift a lot of doubts and unpleasant thoughts.

If your girlfriend is a superstitious person and pays attention to signs, you shouldn’t worry her gift of handkerchiefs, watches and wallets. These gifts may be associated with the secret desire for tears, old age and poverty. If a friend needs one of these gifts, it is better to present the cash equivalent of a gift, let him buy a wallet herself.

Definitely not worth giving a gift that a friend will not be in demand. For example, a lady who loves quiet evenings with embroidery or watching TV does not exactly qualify a certificate for parachute jumping, and an active and mobile woman who prefers active leisure and sports are unlikely to wear home slippers or a set to create a long, painstaking from small beads.

It is not recommended to give friends for the New Year:

• money - of course, everyone needs them, but the girlfriend will not feel the joy of the gift and your soul warmth;
• clothes and shoes - you can lose money with color, size, model, and then the gift will not bring joy either;
• animals - even if a person loves everything alive, it is not at all necessary that he can now afford to take responsibility for his pet, even if it’s just a fish or a hamster;
• any items and things that are similar to your own - even if a friend admired your bag or your scarf for a long time, you should not give her the same or similar ones, she is unlikely to use them for the reason that you have the same ones;
• overly expensive gifts - even if you have such financial capabilities, it’s not a fact that a friend will be able to respond with an identical gift, and then you just put her in an awkward position.

When choosing a gift to a friend, be sure to consider several factors:

• age - you will get something small and pleasant, memorable for your teenage girlfriend; you can buy something more serious for a friend with whom you have been friends for several decades;
• Hobbies and hobbies are generally the best idea, because getting a gift that does not contradict your hobbies, professional interests and promotes them is always very pleasant;
• the degree of closeness of the relationship - the best friend, beloved and close in spirit and life, you can afford to give more personal, personalized gifts than presents for just a familiar and pleasant woman or girl.
