Stars of red caviar on pancakes - also look very symbolic, and their taste just conquer men.

In the process of eating breakfast, you can please your strong half again and say a pleasant congratulatory speech. After breakfast, it's time to give the main gift. It would be nice to find the right words to accompany the presentation of the gift. That the spouse understood, what sense you put in it.

Feel free to explain yourself in verse or even to the background romantic melody. All this will benefit your relationship, strengthen them. A good option - baked his own holiday cake. It may not be decorated according to the symbolism of the holiday. It's just that it will be nice and homely delicious.

Do not like pies and watch your figure? Then prepare an interesting salad. Or make a favorite of the traditional options, but call it when serving somehow symbolically, in tune with the Defender of the Fatherland Day.

In addition to all the above, you can use the following ideas.

• A gift made by hand: something sewn, knitted, painted, etc. The creativity shown with the preparation of breakfast is not considered a gift, it is only a bonus as a sign of attention.

• Personalized or memorable gift. For example, a T-shirt or a sweatshirt with a name, photo, or a memorable place of your acquaintance or on the subject of the troops in which the husband served (if he did military service). It may be worthwhile to look at the jewelry with the name (gift inscription) or the watch. It is not necessary to choose an expensive thing, even economically you can make everything beautiful.

• Status thing. The fact that the spouse will never buy himself - a presentable pen, a leather purse, a watch, cufflinks, a clip for bank notes, etc.

• A gift is a dream from childhood. If in childhood my husband had a dream, but still remained impracticable, you can feel like a sorceress and fulfill it. What kind of childhood dreams can a boy have? Folding knife, flashlight, crossbow, something from the weapon. Or maybe a trip? Find out on occasion where his beloved wanted to get in childhood or what he dreamed about, being a carefree boy. You can even make your husband happy with elementary attention.

• If the spouse is a smoker, cigars will surely be delighted, a knife for them, a hookah with a set of tobacco and charcoal, a stylish ashtray or an unusual lighter.

But if you prevent this, it is even harder to fight the habit. In exceptional cases, you can close your eyes to the bad habit of her husband.

• The same can be said about alcohol. But you need to understand that the usual bottle of vodka as a gift is indispensable. If you give something from alcohol, then only high-quality elite drink. Otherwise, it is better to pay attention to the gift from another area.

• You can present a shaving machine or some related accessories.

• Keychain can also be a gift with a "search" function for husbands who often lose keys.

• Toilet water, underwear with interesting pictures or original inscriptions.

Dads are always happy with what they receive from children, as they give offspring everything from a pure heart. This can not cause pride in the parent. But what can you give if there is no talent to knit and knock together?

• Interesting book.
• Subscribe to the magazine.
• Order a musical greeting on the radio.
• Hand over a T-shirt or mug with the signature “To the Beloved Dad,” “Our General,” “The Commander of the Regiment,” or invent your own original phrase.
• Warm blanket
• Night light
• Points in the case (but after knowing what diopters are needed).

• "Soldier's ration" in the original packaging and with modern content.
• Insulated vest.
• Tickets for film show or theater for two. May go with the mother to unwind or take with him an adult son / daughter.
• Comfortable rocking chair.

Not everyone thinks about this, but in vain. Choosing a gift by February 23 to a man, women sometimes act intuitively. In order not to buy something unnecessary and not disappoint, it is better to figure out what you should not pay attention to.

1. It is advisable to avoid banal objects. and do not hand over a strategic stock of socks, sprays or deodorants, soap, underwear, undershirts, underpants, standard mugs, disposable shaving razors. Such a gift will immediately show that for the holiday you have a purely formal attitude and an indifferent approach to the choice. Therefore, this man is indifferent. Otherwise, why did you not take care of something original in advance?
2. Too expensive things also not an option for a presentation on Defender of the Fatherland Day. First of all, because it obliges a man to subsequently make a return similar gift. And the money for it is not always enough and not at all. This can only be done by family people, by general agreement. Since February 23 is followed by spring and International Women's Day.
3. Intimate things give only to close people. A fellow student does not need to give socks and shorts. This may seem to guys a hint of rapprochement or even confuse and offend a person.
4. Chocolates, sweets and soft toys - not men's gifts, like bouquets.
5. Gifts with a hint also not welcome. For example, if a husband for a long time promises to finish the repair or to make something, and does not get to the point, do not give him tools for the holiday. Make it better on any ordinary day.
6. Do not give tickets to pop pop performancesif a man doesn't like it. And don't drag a guy to listen to symphonic music or a musical in a theater, if he doesn't like these cultural events.

You should always remember that a gift is, above all, a sign of attention. Therefore, sometimes there are enough words of gratitude and good mood for a real holiday. And you can stock up on an excellent gift, but present it in such a way that a quarrel will be inevitable. Remember that only with a good mood and goodwill, with a sincere desire to make a real holiday a man can get an unforgettable celebration.

Such gifts are usually presented in certain circles or the closest men. it can be:

• bottle of elite alcohol;
• expensive pair of cufflinks or a set of clip for a tie + cufflinks;
• VIP wrist watch with engraving;
• cigars with guillotine;
• status office set;
• personal certificates for recreation or shopping;
• exclusive accessories (umbrella, purse, bag);
• fashion shoes or any pair of shoes;
• Covers in the car.

On February 23, women often get lost, thinking about how to congratulate the boss. He is in charge at work in any field, so forgetting about a gift for him is unforgivable. If this is a personal gift, then it may well be symbolic and budget. A collective gift must be chosen according to the status of the boss and his position in society. Of course, this should be something more serious than a postcard or a set from the nearest household chemicals and perfumery department.

When choosing it is important to observe the principle of "golden mean". Too expensive thing can embarrass the manager. It can be perceived as a fawning or bribe. A person can understand what is happening, and your generosity and enterprise will result in anger and dismissal of you from the post. Too cheap tokens will not work either. Tasteless kopek option is better not to take into account from the outset. Otherwise, the boss might think that they show disrespect to his person and even try to make fun of him.

It is necessary to decide whether it is appropriate to give something to the principal at the place where you work. And also, as is usually done. Perhaps this is a collective manifestation of attention, or each employee has an individual approach. Or at all the congratulatory part is built only on the words of greetings and wishes of all the best. But, nevertheless, gifts are made, just in case you need to figure out which ideas are good for congratulating the boss:

• expensive cognac, whiskey, rum from the elite series and varieties;
• identical to alcohol set of cigars;
• status office;
• leather-bound diary;
• a purse from elite material of the highest quality;
• high-quality business card holder.

This is all a win-win option in the selection of gifts. A certain set according to the standard, which, as usual, is given on February 23 or other dates. If relations with the authorities are on the same wavelength, then any original gizmos and even funny options will be perceived. And if the boss decides to show his own attention to his subordinates, the following gifts are presented to his discretion:

• bonus - salary supplement is always relevant;
• corporate evening;
• presentation of diploma.

First you need to figure out who these colleagues are - employees of one company or office, colleagues in the department, business partners. If these are business partners, things with military symbols or with the company logo will be appropriate. Notebooks, pens, calendars, mugs, lighters and greeting cards are a small part of what you can choose from for colleagues.

It is better to rely on the age of employees, to consider their hobbies, if something is known about them. It will be convenient to make a list of male colleagues, writing down in front of the names of each age and hobby. This will greatly simplify the selection task and eliminate confusion. But the price tag of gifts should be equal. In order not to offend anyone and not cheat on a holiday.

Gifts to colleagues have a specific character and depend on the amount that employees can afford to spend on them. As a rule, gifts are acquired from collective means. All employees in the department, office, enterprise pass a certain amount, and the most active and enterprising people set the festive table at the end of the working day and congratulate the men on their script.

Most often, co-workers are presented with the same, equivalent things. Then the mood will not be ruined. Suit chocolate with the number 23 and alcohol, personalized mugs or drinking utensils with the symbols of the military direction. Original flasks, T-shirts with applied thematic inscriptions, lighters. For colleagues who often work at the computer, a good gift will be mouse pads, a heated mug powered by USB or a mini fan that connects on the same principle. In stores, you can pick up flash drives in a design that matches the theme of the holiday. This is a necessary and interesting thing for an office worker.

A large and large enterprise usually reigns purely working relationships among employees. But this is not a reason to abandon the idea of ​​making small surprises for men. It can be a personalized mug or a stylish pen, a diary, a cake baked to order in honor of February 23. In smaller firms, relationships are warmer and colleagues are often invited to bowling, to a paintball tournament, or to go through an exciting quest. Such an approach with common emotions only brings together and contributes to even more productive cooperation.

No less important is the fact that the gift is packed. The design style is able to distinguish it from the rest. But the ideas of decoration depend on imagination and ingenuity. It is not necessary to knock down in search of a unique and memorable packaging, looking for it in stores. You can stylishly decorate a gift even with the help of ordinary newspapers and improvised means.

Creative design is desirable to associate not only with the military theme, as they congratulate on February 23 all men without exception. It is better to create packaging taking into account the interests of each individual, according to age and status. In order not to “reinvent the wheel”, it will be convenient to do everything according to a ready-made template. It can be found on the Internet and print the required number of blanks.

After that, you just have to pack the presents and decorate the resulting packings with buttons, stars, a tie or a bow tie, in general, with anything. Flight of fancy can not stop at this. Lovely inscriptions in the theme of the holiday are welcome. Self-expression will tell you which words are better to devote to this or that person.

It would seem that such an unsightly package, and this is already half of what is needed for a successful gift wrapping. Even the mustache stuck on top of the package will make it original and unique, the most suitable for men's gifts. And if you add eyes or draw a funny face, make a shirt and a bright tie - even the most primitive and inexpensive gift will look more spectacular.

Instructions for making.

1. Divide the top of the package visually into 3 parts and trim all 5 cm from two edges, and do not touch the middle.
2. Bend inside the edges, giving the package the shape of a shirt collar.
3. Seal them with scotch tape. Decorate the "shirt" with a tie of colored wallpaper (paper).

You can add decoration with newspaper clippings and illustrations from magazines. Desirable in the festive theme. From the inscriptions cut out "The best dad", "My protector", "Happy holiday!", "Our hero", "To the most worthy." Can be used for inscriptions marker. On the craft package it will look very modern.

Vintage is not inferior to modern design. He is always in fashion, like all unusual. It is possible to make an excellent wrapping paper from an unnecessary old newspaper, which is quite inexpensive and original.

It will take:

• newspaper (ideally, so that it was faded from the time, sometimes yellowed, you can even foreign edition);
• glossy page from the magazine;
• scissors;
• stapler;
• glue.

For this option, the gift must be placed in the box. To pack it in a newspaper, you need to do the following manipulations:

• wrap the box with a newspaper and tape the joints;
• bend the top of the paper from the sides down;
• corners to lay in the center;
• lift the bottom and secure all the edges with duct tape.

In addition, you can use some cute accessory. Men do not differ sentimentality. For their harsh natures, something like that is more suitable than bows and bright colors. The only exception is a bow made from a magazine page. To do this, cut 9 strips over the entire length of the page, approximately 2 cm wide each.

Shorten 3 strips by 2.5 cm, and two by 5 cm, one should be 9 cm long. Each of them should be rolled up by a figure eight, with the bright side up. Fasten the tips in the center with scotch tape. The shortest roll ring. “Eights” connect with each other, pasting the center to the center with the three largest ones. Get a six-pointed star. Small worth fasten separately.Now you need to collect from this the likeness of a pyramid, and the center to close the ring.

Incredibly spectacular and moderately ascetic bow for a brutal gift is ready. Its value at the same time loses importance, since the applied efforts are obvious at a glance. It remains to attach the bow to the package and praise yourself for your patience.

On February 23, men often receive a preferred alcoholic drink as a gift: whiskey, rum, tequila, brandy, etc. And such a high-grade gift is also worth being creatively packed. Apply for this proposed sleeve from the men's old shirt. The action algorithm is simple and everybody can.

• The sleeve with a cuff is cut off from an unnecessary shirt. The length should slightly exceed the bottle height. It should be borne in mind that the thing should not be heavily worn, and the cuff is better to choose a well-preserved one. The exception is denim. It scuffs only for good.
• A bottle of alcohol "puts" on the sleeve, and the beginning of the cuff should correspond to the edge of the neck. The bottom must be carefully stitched to close the bottom.
• Cuff stack, forming a collar. An improvised paper tie or bow tie is put on the neck or the “gates” are left carelessly unbuttoned.

When many male relatives gather at one table on a holiday, you can stick a printed photo on each package. This is done very quickly and looks creative and individually.
