For whatever purpose in your head did not come the idea of a gift for the former - hook it or cheer, just make a pleasant surprise in the name of all the good that between you was or you are invited to the session in honor of the day of his victory in the skills of the local Duma - to exercise This venture will have to be approached with all responsibility.
And now time is pressing, the question of the gift is hanging, and it's not so easy to answer it right away. You wander around the shops in confusion - what to choose?
And what is the budget?
Remember that a gift is not a test work for miserly behavior. In the gift (no matter who it is meant for) the main thing is the originality and effect produced, and not how much money you paid for it. Do not think that spending a huge sum, you perform a feat. Although there are, of course, exceptions.
Alina, one of my good acquaintances, gave her ex-boyfriend a tour to Madrid. He was a fan of Cristiano Ronaldo, he always dreamed of visiting Spain with a legendary bear that embraces a rowan tree.
Alina told me that the reason for parting was his constant mockery. "Tynichego has not achieved and will not achieve in life with her character! - he broadcast his own prophecies. "And you'll stay in four walls until retirement!"
For two years from the moment of the break, it has risen financially so that the surrounding people only gasped, and could easily afford to take to Madrid not only the most famous, but all his family. This gift was in the end not so much his dream, as her personal triumph.
Try not to trivialize
One hundred and seventeenth pair of socks, deodorant and shaving foam, leave it for a very abrupt case - it's unlikely that he dreams of getting you (unless your former collects socks and takes off a dangerous razor four times a day).
Do not overdo a stick
Remember: in all things a measure is important. The opportunity to present a gift to the former is a good reason to rush into the pool with his head, and drag him his curl in a frame for a long memory, a selection of magazines Playboy for the past few years, or underwear with light-weighted pink elephants.
Better give him a ticket to the cinema for another premiere, a walk on a motor ship or a flyer trip to some entertainment institution - a billiards club, a bowling alley, etc. Noah here you need to be careful - stomp after in the billiard room as a support group and chant in the background: "Wah-hsia da-wai!" - not a good idea. In addition, perhaps he already managed to get a new girlfriend, and in that case you will either have to give twice the dose of tickets, or at all to refuse from this venture, so as not to provoke civil strife.
In a word, no matter what comes to your mind - do not overdo it, risking to be a queen of a clown or to become, well, an apple of discord.
Creatively with the mind! or Gifts from category "bust"
To give a guy an oriental dance or to put him on a motorcycle, dressed up in an otvyaznuyu rocker, it would be very extravagant and unforgettable, but in the situation with the former is not entirely appropriate. The period of such "surprises" you have in the past (unless you have set yourself the goal of returning his ex-lover).
If he is seriously busy with his figure, he shakes the day with his day, the three-headed muscle calculates calories, ordering for him a 3-tier cake with cream is absolutely useless, and even pulling 3-pood weight as a gift to a man whose name is Mr. Muscle, also not worth it. But the season ticket to the sport clubpodoydet in this case as it is impossible by the way. Hand him in and say: "I remember how important it always was for you."
Also, it's better to be careful not to give a botanist a roller skate, a bikini girl in a pot, a petunia in a pot, and an ornithologist a cuckoo egg, while informing with an intelligent look: "Take care of him, you can do it!" You want to see delight in his eyes and respect, not a grin ,true?
One more example. He always was not averse to chasing after game, and hunting considered his favorite hobby. And you are and hand him the fishing tackle, adding at the same time: "Maybe now you'll make out, stop shooting at defenseless little animals and at last get a useful job?" If that happens, I will not sneer at the fish soup. " He, most likely, simply decides that you are kidding, and it is not yet known how this surprise will end.
As a neutral gift, a certificate for buying something from the field of his hobbies, a smoking pipe with quality tobacco (if the former smokes, of course), a flash drive of a bizarre shape, a cover for a phone with an original theme, some kind of delicious overseas tea or coffee is a good gift. And if he, for example, desperate sushman - you can give him accessories for making sushi.
The options, in fact, are darkness, and to whom, as you do not know his likes and dislikes. The main thing - be sincere, choose a gift with your soul - and all will be!
