Choosing a gift for a man, a woman often makes mistakes, so it happens that gifts are sent for eternal storage in distant boxes or on the mezzanine, or are completely re-gifted.
We decided to make things easier women and conducted a survey among men on blogs and in social networks, which gifts are desirable and original, and which are bad. We present the five worst gifts for men - things that should never be given (unless the man himself says so).
Honorable first place occupied by cosmetics and shaving tools. Men hate such a gift with all their hearts, unanimously supporting each other in the opinion that they are able to buy it themselves.
Confidently holds second place perfume. The third was given to different souvenir products and interior items that have no practical use and gather dust on the shelf. You should not give clothes, especially ties - they take fourth place on the list of unloved gifts, since they remind men of work, from which they, on the contrary, often want to take a break. Pajamas are equal to socks and panties, which round out the top five of what men would not like to receive. Thus, clothes complete the hit list of least desirable gifts for men.
You should also not give a watch, alcohol, wallet, shower cosmetics, especially in gift sets, various household items and money.
Husbands, sons, fathers and your friends will be grateful to you if you do not make such gifts. What should you give?
That's a good gift which tells a man not only about a woman’s feelings for him, but also about how well she knows his character, tastes and hobbies. All the men say in unison that they will be pleased with the gift if they can use it. Key words - functionality, usefulness, internal organization, details. Of course, the most desired gift that every man dreams of is a car. But not everyone will accept it from a woman, and women themselves rarely think about such a gift.
Among other practical things the list of the best gifts included various gadgets and technical devices, for example, an e-book, cellular telephone, music player, navigator, flashlight. A man will be much more pleased with such a useful thing than a woman: gadgets are for men what diamonds are for women... well, or shoes.
Do you want to please a man?- give him something that has buttons, moving parts, that makes sounds, that lights blink, that runs on batteries, and something a little more serious and technologically advanced than a radio-controlled car. Slightly inferior to gadgets are items for hunting, fishing or sports (depending on preferences). In this case, you can give fishing gear, walkie-talkie, binoculars, strength training equipment or professional accessories, for example, for skiing or snowboarding.
Men really appreciate creativity. gifts, especially handmade ones. It could be a drawing, a poem or an album made using the scrapbooking technique. Wherein original way The presentation is no less important than the gift itself. Such a creative gift and congratulation ranks first among the best original gifts.
Give emotions - A great opportunity to give a man an unusual surprise that will be remembered for a long time. Finding a certificate for flying an airplane, diving training or extreme car driving today is not difficult. Often such services are sold with an open date and time - that is, the man himself can choose a time of visit that is convenient for him.
A wonderful option for the unusual The gift could be an adventure, for example, climbing a mountain, kayaking, or hunting crocodiles. Today there are companies offering a variety of certificates for such services.
The travel agency will take over the entire organization, all that remains is to choose an option that will take into account all the interests and preferences of the man. In a special place is a gift for your beloved man. And there are no several options on this issue - absolutely all the men participating in the survey were unanimous in their opinion. Best gift from a beloved woman - this is a manifestation of her feelings - from a gentle kiss and hug to a passionate erotic dance.
Actually, there is an easy way To determine what kind of gift a man will be delighted with is to be an attentive listener and observer of the man and, if necessary, write down. Then to the desired date You will have a ready-made list of the most desirable gifts for a man - all you have to do is choose.
Alexander Kretov, executive director of BFA-Development CJSC:
The gift should be interesting and memorable. If you are looking for a place to put that unnecessary souvenir (mug, pen holder, diary, office set) that you received last year New Year, choose someone else, don't give it to me. I don't like hand-me-down gifts. We all want to believe that we receive gifts from the heart, chosen just for us and with us in mind. We are not in America, where 63% of residents are of the opinion that unnecessary New Year and Christmas gifts are best given to someone else.
True friends will always give something that suits your characteristics, character traits, and hobbies. They will reflect the essence of the holiday and event with their presentation. And it is always pleasant. And gifts from business partners are most often formed, so to speak, in small wholesale, taking into account the position, but without attention to you as an individual. They are pleasant as signs of attention, but rarely have interesting content. Therefore, spending fabulous sums on New Year's gifts is ridiculous and inappropriate.
I don't like gifts in style“just to give,” without any elementary desire to think about the person, his preferences and individual characteristics. Even a New Year’s corporate souvenir can find its use if, when ordering it, you thought at least a little about how useful it could really be to your business partners. Respectively, good gift not necessarily expensive. The attention shown is much more valuable. And the opinion, the more expensive the gift... - I generally think it’s wrong. On the contrary, such a gift can put a person in an awkward situation and oblige him to return the courtesy.

You can rack your brains for a long time about how to please our men. We decided to ask them themselves without further ado. So, what gifts do men dream of?
Alexey, 34 years old, programmer: “Of course, socks, no matter how surprising it may be to anyone. Socks periodically run out - they have this property. And, having received a new set as a gift (preferably for a year in advance), you may not think for a while whether there is a chance to leave the next morning with a fresh and intact pair.”
Alexander, 32 years old, senior researcher: “The first option for a pleasant surprise for me personally is board game, which I don't have yet. The second option is a certificate to a store like “Everything for Sports”, which has equipment for winter hiking and parts for bicycles.”
Sergey, 31 years old, videographer: “I need that same jacket that we once saw in London. He has coattails at the back, like a swift or siskin. I'll just fly if you give me one. And she knows it. There are also simpler option: a train ticket to the city where the next rally of basers will take place in the spring. Moreover, the dates of the trip must coincide with the beginning of the meeting. I’ll go anyway, as my wife knows. And such a ticket would come in handy.”
Valery, 63 years old, pensioner: “It all depends on the budget. If you have 2000 rubles, then perfume. For example, I always want to get eau de toilette. I use an electric razor, and after it I need to spray my face with something. And the bottles are used up - just on the road. Smell - any, except for some powerful ones. If the budget is larger, then I think there is no shame in donating medical equipment for the home: a new tonometer, glucometer or magnetic therapy device. I can accept them from my relatives - I won’t be offended. Well, if you have very little money, then I would like a beautiful tea cup.”
Ivan, 58 years old, chief designer of the project: “It’s nice to get some brutal things that you use for repairs and hobbies: a drill-driver, a jigsaw, a laser level, a plane, a grinder, a cutter. Another option is a gadget. Both stories are by prior agreement only. You can unobtrusively find out what a person wants and what he doesn’t yet have.”
Vladimir, 49 years old, military man: “I love my wife very much, and I don’t even want anything more when my beloved is next to me. She usually gives eau de toilette. It is clear that she chooses exactly the scent that she likes. And I'm just glad to wear a perfume that she likes. You expect a bonus from your superiors. From friends - phone call or visit. It happens that someone accidentally ends up in my city and comes to visit.”
Anatoly, 40 years old, railway worker: “The best gifts I have ever received were gifts given by my daughters. For example, a cake was baked one day. Yes, and in general, everything they did themselves, with their own hands, is beautiful.”
Alexey, 36 years old, photographer, traveler: “Something amazing, but not completely useless, for example, made with your own hands, or a ticket to some men’s master class.”
Vitaly, 36 years old, screw driller: “Accessories of a Moscow Spartak fan.” My wife knows which ones I have and which ones I don’t have yet, and they can be given as gifts. In a word, the right gift based on your passion can make you happy. Or sentimental things. For example, I was very touched when my wife gave me an album collected from my own army photographs. Another time she tied it with a ribbon and handed me a harmonica, knowing that I had been dreaming about it since the orphanage.”
Stanislav, 35 years old, engineer: “The main rule: you need to emphasize a person’s individuality and avoid generic gifts. General: socks, razors, a bottle of wine, some clothes, etc. All this, with a certain degree of probability, will suit any of the men you meet on the street. And, on the contrary, things that somehow relate to hobbies or hobbies will suit a certain guy, but will be of no use to another.
For example, strings, specifically for acoustics and with a thickness of 10, not 9. A thermos or a flask, because he likes to drink mulled wine or cognac on the street. An MP3 player with the music he was looking for and couldn't find. Anything he collects. Small teapot because he goes on business trips. Yoga mat. Or just some thing that he wanted to buy, but didn’t have time, but he mentioned it a couple of months ago, and you remembered.”
Nikita, 35 years old, IT specialist: “A good gift, probably some useful trinket that you don’t have time to buy for yourself or it’s worth it.”
Igor, 34 years old, car mechanic: “I think something related to a profession or hobby would be suitable. I take photographs, and, for example, I could use some batteries for my camera. Or some good sealed camera bag. Some other guy, for example, loves to fry steaks, and he would like some frying accessories (meat thermometer, knife). Someone runs in the morning, and maybe a fitness bracelet or some kind of super-absorbent antibacterial towel would suit him. To guess with a gift, you need to know the person. I don't see any other way. That is, it is impossible to give a good gift to an unfamiliar person or to someone who is indifferent to you, whose interests, aspirations, and preferences you do not know. That's why, dear women, listen, communicate, be interested in the men you want to make happy.”
Eldar, 24 years old, business analyst: “The most win-win and always useful gift- this is a shirt. If, of course, the wife can choose right size without fitting."
Eduard, 22 years old, sales consultant: “The best gift is attention. Don’t forget to congratulate me.”
Have you ever given such gifts to your other half?We look forward to your comments!
Men! Without them, life is bad and difficult. They deserve to be pleased with gifts. Let's stick to the ones we adore and love. Let's see what you can give to your loved one (what they want to receive as a gift).
We arrange gifts in the form of a list, to make it easier to read and perceive:
If you don’t have any ideas for a “gift” occasion. It is likely that you will not receive an answer right away. But you can definitely achieve it if you try.
Be original in favor of the man! Give a certificate for a massage or a swimming pool. Let me go to the bathhouse! Only without mistrust and jealousy. Both of these can greatly “spoil” any of your surprises.
Give fishing accessories if you are lucky enough to understand and enjoy fishing. Consult with consultants so as not to make a mistake with the gift. You hardly understand the fishing hobby of men. By the way, fish dishes would be an excellent addition to the gift. You can remember the recipes, find them on the Internet (and print them out), or ask your friends. Men will feel bad without gifts related to food and taste.
Continuation. . .
What do men really want as a gift? -
The holiday is just around the corner! What can you give a man? I have the answers) Gift ideas for men - this is an article that I sat on for two days. Because I myself once (more than once) searched on the Internet for what to give a man.
And then I thought: okay, I need to write such an article myself, with a large list to choose from - and nothing superfluous, just ideas for gifts and some useful recommendations.
I’m sure that you too have been tormented (or are tormented now) by the question: “What should I give to my beloved man (boyfriend, colleague, boss, husband, dad, friend, son, brother, teacher, lecturer...)?..”
We ask our friends for advice, go online in search of good ideas for a gift, but what do they basically write there? “Give him something related to his hobby,” “find out what he is interested in,” “everyone loves beautiful cars.” Oh, thank you, it helped so much that there are no words.
It’s not the same, it’s not the same.
So here I leave a list of what SPECIFICALLY can be given to a man , all you have to do is look through the ideas and choose the most suitable gift)
In fact, there are more than 150 options here - useful and original, pragmatic and romantic, but it’s also good. They are also suitable as gifts for the New Year 2019. I hope you no longer have to rack your brains over what gift to give your man, because you will have this wonderful list!
I worked hard on this article, so if it is useful to you, please write a comment about it or share the article on social networks - this will help me continue to write useful things and look for new gift ideas for you. Thank you)
Okay, let's go!
I’ll start with this option, because I myself really love such gifts - both giving and receiving. This is a super-impression, an unusual pastime, great photos and cool memories)
Gift-emotion is certificate, which is packaged in a stylish themed box . This certificate gives access to unusual entertainment. My husband and my friends have already tried everything: a secret bunker and rock climbing, ATVs and snowmobiles, horses and spas, a wind tunnel and balloon rides...
It's very interesting and inevitably puts you in a good mood!
Well, who likes what: hang gliders and paragliders, quests and master classes, massages and archery... In general, there is plenty to choose from;)
What you can give - specific things:
And then I offer you my method of choosing a gift. You need to mentally dwell on each item listed below, remember whether the person to whom you want to give a gift has this item, and imagine his reaction to this item.
(sometimes you can find something worthwhile and original there)
Several times a year we think about what to give our loved one? It’s worth saying here that a delicious dinner, a home-baked cake, or sex are not gifts in themselves. I'm sorry, but that's how it is. It’s especially strange to hear something like: “I’ll make his favorite salad for his birthday as a gift” - wait, do you really only cook his favorite dishes on holidays? Poor man.
Let's say it's already been decided what to give. But sometimes you don’t want to give a gift a la “here you go, happy holiday” (you hold out the gift). I want something more interesting... Then:
Also, there are now many special services for congratulations, look for them on the Internet in your city. There, Santa Claus, a singing team, a life-size puppet can congratulate a person, and they will offer you all sorts of non-standard options.
It is very difficult to choose a gift for a man or guy who has everything. And for some reason some girls think that these things are... great gifts for men. But they have no soul, no individuality, no originality. And this will show the man that the gift for him was chosen quickly, without thought or desire to truly please.
It is better not to give flowers to men at all, even for an anniversary. I don’t know who decided that at the age of 50 men suddenly begin to love bouquets and enjoy them on their birthday or other holiday...
And all sorts of aromatic things (insoles, deodorants, hair fresheners) different parts body) - everything that seems to say: “You stink!” It’s better to let him buy it for himself.
And I urge you again: refrain from any bullshit! Men don't need frames, figurines, or figurines. No, they are not needed.
Sometimes choosing a gift for a man turns into a hassle. To prevent this from happening, you need to:
And remember: men talk about what they want. They just speak very quickly, casually and differently than women. Listen to what the man says and remember (or better yet, keep a notebook or write it down in your phone) - it will come in handy so that later you don’t have to worry about the question “what to give to the man you love?”
I didn’t divide this list by events (like gifts for the new year / birthday / anniversary / anniversary / for some years), because it seemed to me that a continuous list would be more convenient. And these gifts can be timed to coincide with any occasion.
I hope this list of gift ideas for men helped you. Have a nice holiday and happy gifts!)
Next postNow we’ll talk about what kind of New Year’s gift men want.
To be honest, writing “in general” on the topic of male and female preferences is quite difficult. Because people, both men and women, are very different from each other. And what is good for one man is, as they say, death for another.
Determining the average New Year's wishes for all men is as impossible as deducing " average temperature around the hospital."
And this “difference” is determined, by the way, not always by money, as many have probably thought. The dominant factor, most likely, will not even be social affiliation, but the “filling” of a person, his worldview and worldview.
Men can be single and “not so much”, married and “in the process”, smart and stupid, intellectuals and hard workers, and sometimes, believe me, all together.
Therefore, our twelve ideas are an expression of the author’s mood at the time of writing the review, and not clear instructions for lovely ladies and their partners.
For a person with an elevated mindset or who truly has the talent of an artist, give, for example,
Well, of course, this does not mean at all that your man is a highwayman or at least a gopnik. It's just that some males are crazy about the gangster lifestyle, or at least. Fashionable, music CDs and even music fixes can be placed under the Christmas tree for your partner.
A bandit image can also have several. A tracksuit a la “real boys”, things in the style of Busta Rhames or Hollywood classics from “The Untouchables” - the choice, of course, is up to you, the charming companion of the “cool” guy.
The first way. Follow the lead and buy attributes of his lifestyle as a gift. or not so much a briefcase, classic glasses or a frame for them, cufflinks, a pin for a tie, an annual metro pass in the most severe case.
The second way. To lead him astray from this “true path”, which, of course, is fraught with the absence of that very fur coat that you dream of “for the Christmas tree”. In this case, buy cool sneakers or a skateboard, or a harmonica. “Play, darling, run, enjoy life. She’s alone, she’ll fly by at work and you won’t even notice!” He is positive, you are without a cloak.
Go to any online store for New Year's gifts, and maybe you will find some “trick” that will amuse your serious-minded man.
In the first case, whatever you give the “boy”, he will be happy with everything. And an expensive or used guitar with fishing line from grandpa’s spinning rod. or a T-shirt with the image of your favorite rock band. 
However, among these “musicians” there is a subspecies of “unmercenaries” who do not need anything. And their pseudo-altruism is expressed approximately in the following words: “Darling, I don’t need anything, buy yourself any of these decorations (Chinese, plastic, discounted), and put some money under the Christmas tree for me and play ‘prank’ with the guys.” Then give him New Year's paper crafts.
You can give a real musician anything related to music. From to - an expensive gift for a man. From music folder to case (for guitar, piano, harp). Perhaps it will be a ticket to a real ballet performed by undiscounted girls, a subscription to the Philharmonic, or a disc with excellent classical music.
Don't have money for a new piano or a boogie outfit? Great, why does he need them? Give them slippers, a bathrobe, a new TV remote control.
If a man has “meaning”, then this is the best gift.
You can help a man mobilize. Give him that piece of the sport he enjoys. By the way, this is exactly what I am doing now, secretly from my husband. I found inexpensive hockey equipment.
Of course, this may not necessarily be expensive ammunition, but only part of it. A new helmet, gloves, racket, boots - cute and, if possible, affordable. Your personal catalog of New Year's gifts in this area can be huge.
In this article, extreme sports means, for example, paragliding or parkour, and not the situation described in the Soviet film “The Irony of Fate, or Enjoy Your Bath.” Drinking “ruff” and then flying to St. Petersburg in an unconscious state is, of course, extreme, and, most importantly, it’s New Year’s-like. But that’s not about that now.
Perhaps your reserve or retired officer is missing something civil-military. Give him shoes for hiking or civilian outings with friends in the local forests. Another option for a New Year's gift could be chess.
You don’t have to give it to your favorite fisherman rubber boots, or you can present a nice little bait on a hook.
What kind of New Year gift should you give to such children? Perhaps non-standard items or scents. It is clear that slippers and a gun are not about them. In general, look at Sergei Zverev or Alexander Vasiliev, and think about what you would give them for the New Year.
Take a look, wander around, and maybe choose something similar. As a rule, all these men are shopaholics and terrible dress-makers. Therefore, women, when going online shopping, go to those stores that sell jackets, scarves and even men’s brooches, etc.
Your man can be both a teacher and an academician. And in any case, you can give him something that will increase his level of intelligence. Rare books on his “specialty” or a nice professorship.
Buying a New Year's gift in this case is both difficult and easy. It could be “Eugene Onegin”, almost written with the author’s pen.
It’s better not to give a white coat and test tubes. And it’s not at all festive...
If he is one of those who prefers to “love” from a distance, send him “to hell to Kulichki” - and that’s the end of it. Only a rare bastard will sunbathe and swim while you run to the tram stop on a frosty morning to earn money and pay for the purchased ticket on credit. Why do you need “her” like that?
Buy it, he will feel better and send him on a long trip to his mother. And for yourself, find someone to whom you will give a drill, violin or tennis balls for the next New Year.
Adequate women can only feel sorry for such men. The rest of the female representatives do not stop looking for the prince on a white horse. It is easier to find a horse on a white prince than a perfect person. Women are getting wiser, thank God, they are becoming disillusioned with such ideals and find the ordinary, the normal.
But the “Misters of Perfection,” unfortunately, do not grow smarter, are not disappointed in themselves, and continue to fool the ladies. of different ages, those who have not yet wised up. And so they, poor things, walk around in circles, and we write articles about them. And we wonder what Mrs. Smith will give Mr. Smith for the New Year. This is where I’m at a loss, and I can’t think of anything other than a plastic crown or a halo.
I remember how, for our first New Year together, my husband gave me a comb and a rag dog the size of a matchbox. It was the Year of the Dog, or something... Then, stupid, I was a little offended. And recently I found this dog in the chest of drawers with our children's toys. The dog was matted, his left eye was dangling by a thread, his ear was darned. But she touched my soul so much that I, a sentimental nature for all my skepticism, burst into tears. Memories came flooding back and everything. And I realized that this dog is very dear to me. It is much more expensive than all those mobile phones, sets of dishes, blenders and other gifts that I don’t even remember. And the dog was lying at the bottom of the chest of drawers under its numerous brothers and suddenly with its pitiful existence it reminded of the value of human warmth, which is necessary and important to preserve in New Year's Eve or in the following days of our lives.
