It's another matter when your friend has everything, and you ... have much less. Let's look at together, what is the best gift for men worth choosing?
At the dead end will bring you the name day of the uncle, who loves you and therefore invites, but respects and therefore does not. Or even parents, from which you proudly moved to a rented apartment and who are trying to demonstrate both financial independence and good taste.
The most reasonable thing is to call the birthday boy and honestly confess: "I can not think of anything to give you." Do you have any wishes? " Of course, it is not a fact that you will immediately be given a correct clue. Your rich friend or relative, aware of the difference in financial status, will start to wave back: "What are you, the main thing is your presence!" But it is possible that he really needs some simple thing. And he himself is already so rich and busy that he does not know well where simple things are bought: flowers in pots, cloths for plasma monitors, home slippers, after all ...
Woolen socks, by the way, a very good gift. Nobody sells them, except grandmothers in the markets. And they heat and treat them the same way as a hundred years ago - better thermal underwear and electric blankets. You know how to knit - excellent! The gift can turn out exclusive. Especially for a hunter or, say, an angler (rich men often have a similar kind of hobby). You knit a sock or even a golf - under marsh boots - and on all length instead of an ornament you untie or embroider the instruction: "For hunting" or "For fishing". Do not doubt that the gift will be used for its intended purpose, and not sent to the garbage disposal.
Many of us are mistaken in believing that it's easy to choose a gift for a person who has a hobby ... If your friend is addicted to hunting (fishing, tasting cigars, pottery) only at the beginning of his collection or just the day before yesterday, then you can intervene. Certificate for a master class on sushi (pizza, tea), a pottery lesson, horse riding or hang-gliding can be bought in any "adventure store" - the Internet abounds with them. For a thousand or two you can fly a fighter and drive on an all-terrain vehicle.
But it's better to ask anyway what the birthday boy lacks for completeness of happiness. You have to be an expert to understand the principle of your uncle picking up wines, what coins are already there (and which, by definition, should not be) in the girl's numismatic folder ... Not to mention the fact that the collection wine for the uncle's cellar can cost four of your wages. As well as the right coin in the collection of a friend. And you will not give a gun to a brother-hunter for a simple reason: he has a license to purchase weapons, but you do not. So it should be confined to related products.
You can buy an elegant bottle stand or - it's already from the discharge of jokes - a puzzle rack, to extract a bottle from which you can only on a sober head. Collector will use the album for storage, a box, a case (coffer), a well-equipped cache. And also tweezers, antistatic cloths, directories and catalogs. A hunter, a fisherman or an extreme lover will never be harmed by colonial cork helmets or Siberian fur boots. But God forbid to present the animals (even to the notorious adorer)! Do not hang on the person responsible for those whom you have tamed for him. Suits for existing pets to give, also not worth it. It's just as strange as giving a man linen for his wife ...
We advise you to choose a gift for a rich friend, focusing on his temperament.
Choleric people are distinguished for their bright clothes, expressive gestures, active mimicry. They try to attract attention to themselves by any means. And they love the exclusive. Choose the most catchy. Subtle intentions choleric does not appreciate. Try to make the gift great, in bright packaging. And hand it with pathos, in public. Any joke, be it a devil on a spring, will delight him. Suit him and a certificate for clothes fashion designer, with a mandatory indication that he was dressed if not Madonna, then really Zhanna Friske for sure. But the fashionable "trips" to an extreme adventure (flying on a fighter, skydiving, riding in a zorb, etc.) is not the best choice. The choleric will gratefully accept and cheerfully comment on your gift, but is unlikely to use it. Left alone with himself, he can fly out.
Sanguine most appreciates comfort, and this can be the best gift for men of this type. And our task is to help him in this. He crouched down to the computer - and here he and the heated slippers, and the keyboard is softer, and a massager for the feet, and a carding for the back. Theoretically, sanguine would be perfect for a sauna or Thai massage. But the rich sanguine person most likely already has his own masseur and his favorite sauna with his bath attendant. So it's better still to scratch your back or an alarm clock with a heated cup.
Melanchol is the donkey Eeyore. He can be absolutely happy, but at the same time a little sad. Gifts melancholic should be as joyful and bright as possible. If the CD is something with bravura music. If the film is a comedy. And choosing something for a melancholika, give preference to sunny tones and funny inscriptions-hints - this will be the best gift for men of this type. You definitely will not risk giving a rich girlfriend an evening gown? A T-shirt with the inscription "without artificial colors" or "please love and indulge" is possible. Melancholics appreciate everything that is good for health. They can be pleasantly surprised by the subscription to floatation - the most fashionable now is the method of relaxation. Or a certificate in the clinic of Tibetan medicine. Or an invitation to a tea ceremony.
The phlegmatic is hard at adapting to everything new. But, strange as it may seem, he is the one who most appreciates the extreme. He will look at the presented certificate once, twice, three, and then decide, get involved and take a great interest in, say, snowboarding or hang gliding. To give a phlegmatic is easy. The thing that you choose should meet two requirements: strength and functionality. If you were at the phlegmatic house, you can buy something for the interior - a lamp to the wallpaper or a rug to the curtains. At the moment of donation, do not forget to mention this. Hint that you thought about this gift, picked up a kit, and therefore, I thought about the birthday boy. He will appreciate it.
Count Tolstoy Leo Nikolayevich once sewed boots as a gift to Fet. Very proud! If you do not have enough strength to sew boots, you can limit yourself to embroidery with a cross, a picture of buttons or a painted headscarf (batik in aid). Well, if you know how to knit well or write portraits from memory, then problems with gifts should not exist at all.
You can make a slide show or video about the life, career or creative path of a person who has everything. Some agencies even offer to order a whole documentary about the jubilee. A very popular thing now is an album that keeps memories. Albums in this style are different in that they convey the atmosphere and mood of the sealed moments. Each page is carefully designed.
Very appreciate friends (especially men) such a simple gift, like homemade cakes. It certainly will be an exclusive - from natural products and a secret recipe. And, incidentally, the great Carlson, considered the best birthday present jam!
