Regardless of the fact that today show-windows abound in goods, choosing Christmas gifts is rather difficult
Of course, you always can buy pens for your boss, cosmetics for your girlfriends and a new perfume for your loved man. But you really want your gift to be unique, useful, corresponding to a status and at the same time not very expensive. You probably know that your boos would not appreciate beer mugs, girlfriend - anti-cellulite cream, and a loved man - shower gel. Let’s try looking at the problem in a fresh way.

Try to choose a gift according to these rules:
For girlfriends:
Feminine gifts. You know, Christmas time is a period of groundless hopes, tender memories, time, when everyone goes crazy. No matter you are not 18, and even not 25! Surely, frying pan is an excellent and very necessary gift. But, may be, if you present something not so necessary, but exciting, smart and feminine, then you will present not only a gift, but also magic mood. Don’t forget about your mother and aunt!

Remember! You cannot present things you like by yourself. Even the most wonderful bath salt won’t become a gift, if your girlfriend likes taking a shower and mother uses nothing, but soap.

Idea: an excellent gift - antiques. Just remember all these canisters for talc, powder-puffs, long gloves with pearl buttons etc.

Realization: smart female hand-made accessories, elegant costume jewellery, unusual table lamps, decorated purse or spectacle-case, silk tippet, colored stockings, muff (a very stylish winter accessory), unique elegant business-accessories (for example, lacquered business card holder in Japanese style).

For parents

A gift should accentuate your feelings and care. Warm words, written on a card or cake are very important. And you can send a telegram for your father! Forget that you live in a same city! Imagine, how pleasant it is to receive a Christmas telegram!

Idea: if you are going to other country or city, record a video-greeting for your relatives and put it under Christmas tree. Don’t forget about warm words!

Idea: call Santa for your parents. And promise that they will receive a gift only if they recite a poem!

For him

A gift should accentuate your consideration and connection. According to polls, a clumsy, off-size, but hand-made sweater has more chances to be liked, than a blameless necktie. in general, a gift should say about your love and care!
Man’s hobbies represent a huge variety of gifts. The main is not to duplicate things he already has and understand the subject, to avoid presenting a fake or, say, a picture of an artist he does not like.
Realization: tickets for a favorite group concert or team match - for a fan, elite coffee - for a lover of this drink, car air ionizer - for a driver, latest gadgets - for everyone. You know, most big boys still adore toys!
Another way to choose a gift - is a choice from various points of view. Those, who manage to combine several positions in one gift, can be congratulated - you reached the top of art, and your gift will surely be useful!
Point of view: astrology

According to prognoses, coming year will be a year of Yellow Rat (or brown according to other sources). Color makes traditional gifts relevant and necessary. At least, for those who believe in horoscopes. Present a yellow scarf to your girlfriend, a bag - to your sister, fluffy chicken slippers - to your mother.

Point of view: mood
Alas, you cannot present mood. If this could be possible, the problem of excruciating choosing would fade by itself. But you can present things that create mood. Decide which mood you want to create.

Probably, someone needs a supply of energy, or relaxation and piece, or romantic mood. Or, may be, a pack of moods for all cases? Your own “recipe of happiness”?

Realization: Collection “Cheerful morning”: Latino disk (for ladies) or merry soundtrack (for gentlemen), anti-stress alarm-clock, squeezer for citruses, toning aroma scents, special morning slippers or towels - of juicy, sunny colors.

Idea: disks with suitable compositions, if you have time, compose and record by yourself. If you have no time - there are compilations for all cases in shops - from difficult morning to hot night. You can replace squeezer by a coffee or tea can.

Collection “After work”: disk with nature sounds or quiet, peaceful music, chocolates, packed in an original way, subscription to a favorite magazine or newspaper, fluffy plaid, a cup with thick walls - this way tea will stay warm longer, disks with favorite films.

Point of view: actual trends

Trends exist not only on fashion industry. For example, a modern passion for organic food and cosmetics is a very useful trend. You can buy such products in big superstores, specialized shops or through Internet. This will be good both for men and women, who look after themselves and lead healthy way of living.

Another useful trend - are ecologically safe or useful things. For example, special linen bags instead of packets. You probably know that such bags are snatched away like hot patties all over the world, and almost all Hollywood stars showed up with such bag.

This will be an excellent gift for a modern young girl, and also all, who care about our nature. Ecologically safe cloth or accessories of natural materials: wool, hemp, flax, cotton etc. will also become a useful gift.

Fashionable accessories can become not only a pleasant, but also practical gift. We have already mentioned a muff. Long gloves, warm leggings, volumetric hats and scarves, long knitted tunics - these are excellent gifts.

Point of view: intangible things
Idea: unusual pastime
Realization: balloon flights, visit to an ostrich farm, excursion to a small town or along little known interesting places of your town, parachute jumps etc.
Idea: lessons
Realization: subscription for dancing lessons, culinary, yoga master-class ticket, strip-dance, marketing, diving certificate course, skiing, rock-climbing, temptation, Italian language, study of flora etc. There are lots of such points of view. And you can invent lots of gifts for each one.

However, in fact, there is only one really wonderful gift idea: it should not be formal. Think about the person you are choosing a gift for. What does he like? What are his dreams? Try to look at this person’s hobbies and everyday life from different points of view. And another, already traditional advice - don’t forget about a little gift for yourself. This should be a thing you really need!
