Gift for New Year for a friend should be special or at least make the right impression. Your task is to surprise, bring your dream closer to fulfillment, or unobtrusively and tactfully help financially. This is in the sense that you can give a friend a thing that he really needs, but in a personal or family budget doesn't fit in at all. You should also know about the secret desires of the person with whom you are closely communicating. Let him deal with the global scale himself, but you are quite capable of bringing small everyday joys into his life. For clarity, here are a few ideas of what a man or girl can give to their best friend.
Purely men's practical, cool and original gifts
Present good friend– this is clearly not super useful, but a banal thing. Leave sweaters, blankets, knitted socks and other rubbish for relatives. But if you still prefer practical things, take a closer look at these options:
- tools,
- image accessories,
- multifunctional devices for the kitchen,
- an object that reflects the essence of hobbies and interests.
And now about everything in more detail.
You've probably heard more than once that a friend complains about the lack of some tool. So give him a drill, a set of screwdrivers or keys, a screwdriver, and so on. A set of tools in a case with a flashlight is useful for the car. And if a friend has all the accessories for a car, but the car is always a mess, give an organizer for the trunk or on the back of a chair.
Friend is not very concerned about his appearance and doesn't like to go shopping. Perhaps he will be prompted to do this by a New Year's gift in the form of an elegant scarf worthy of a leather belt, gloves or wallet. For lovers tasty food, especially for bachelors, a multicooker will be the solution to many problems. Juicer - for adherents healthy eating, heated cup stand - for workaholics.
It's very easy to link a New Year's gift to a friend's hobbies. Traveler, fisherman, bathhouse lover, avid motorist, computer genius– you can choose a suitable gift for everyone:
- creative scooter suitcase,
- picnic backpack with thermal insulation,
- electronic fish bait,
- computer or car glasses,
- car vacuum cleaner,
- bath set.
If your hobbies do not coincide, and you are afraid of your own incompetence, choose a New Year's gift certificate to the desired store.
You can simply give it to a friend good mood. Relatively inexpensive options:
- magnetic darts,
- shorts in the shape of the Russian flag,
- a hammer that can be used to beat meat and open a bottle,
- key holder in the form of a grenade,
- holder for toilet paper with radio and clock,
- poker set,
- some kind of “drunk game” (checkers, roulette),
- radio-controlled helicopter.
Positive and adult emotions are:
- striptease,
- extreme on a quad bike,
- sniper class,
- excavator test drive,
- buggy racing,
- fighter simulator,
- whiskey tasting,
- master class of alcoholic cocktails,
- cigar tasting,
- jazz lesson,
- vocal master class,
- master class on billiards.
Gift certificates are a way out of a situation when a person has everything and it’s difficult to surprise a friend.
Friendly New Year's gifts for women
Friendship between a man and a woman is not that uncommon. In addition, the friend category includes a guy whom the girl recently met and is waiting for further development of the relationship. In both cases, the New Year's gift should be neutral, not exactly cheap, but not very expensive either.
For your best “girlfriend” in male form:
- indoor mini fountain,
- hookah,
- high-quality alcohol in beautiful packaging,
- popcorn maker,
- home or car ionizer.
Perhaps your friend himself mentioned something in passing that he would like to have, but everyone doesn’t get around to it? A lonely guy can order a New Year's Eve general cleaning apartments, visiting a men's beauty salon or bathhouse, sending a “delicious” New Year's basket. It is better to give a married friend two tickets to an event or a couple certificate.
Do you want your relationship to smoothly flow from the friendly phase into the romantic phase in 2021? You can unobtrusively hint about this with a New Year's gift, which has a subtext of care and your thriftiness. For example, you can give:
- solar battery - always be in touch,
- backlit speakers - listen to music and remember you,
- mini refrigerator with USB port,
- Antison device for motorists,
- tickets for a joint trip to the cinema, skating rink, circus or zoo.
The gift should be light, pleasant and non-binding.
What is undesirable to give to a friend for the New Year?
The best friend, in principle, will endure everything, and it’s not your problem that you didn’t like the present. But if you think like that, you can quickly lose all your friends. Therefore, it is better not to give:
- small trinkets and useless figurines,
- souvenirs brought from travel (give as soon as you arrive),
- gifts that are too expensive for him (will feel obligated),
- ready Gift Baskets, collected in the store,
- any item from the famous trio - shower gel, shaving foam, socks,
- money.
If there is a catastrophic lack of funds or time and there are only two things to think about latest options nothing comes, it’s better to leave your friend without a gift at all. You can simply say how much you love him and wish him the fulfillment of all his greatest wishes in the New Year.
Choose gifts as you would for yourself and rejoice with your friend!
New Year is a favorite holiday for Russians not only because of the long weekend, but also because of childhood memories. This night was always mysterious and magical, because when you woke up in the morning, you could find a treasured gift under the tree.

Data new Year gifts made it into the TOP 5 most popular statistics because they are universal.

You can take out one of the prepared souvenirs and give him a return gift.
The most desired gifts
Unfortunately, the list of gifts that people usually give each other is noticeably different from the list of what everyone would like to receive on New Year 2020. And it is as follows:
Gifts for loved ones
In addition to the above options for New Year's gifts, there are many more ideas. We specify them and classify them into categories to make it easier to choose.
Parents
When children just start earning money, they try to give their parents pleasant surprises, and not only on holidays. As a New Year's gift for 2020, you can present to mom and dad:
Parents should not give blood pressure, blood glucose, or other medical devices as gifts for the New Year. Save them for other holidays, and magical night please mom and dad with something nice.
For children
Everything is simple here. Kids will be happy with any toy:
- soft;
- radio controlled;
- to the designer;
- doll, etc.
The choice depends on the age of the son or daughter and the preferences of the child.
Suitable for older children:
- mobile phone;
- player;
- camera;
- creative table lamp;
- original alarm clock;
- skates, etc.
- see in a separate review.
Guy
Girls are always very attentive to their boyfriends, so they prepare in advance for choosing a gift. They “test the waters” long before the New Year: they are interested in young man, what he dreams of, they observe, what he lacks, etc. If you have no idea at all, then you can give the guy:
Any man is pleased to receive a gift from a girl that she made with her own hands. You can knit the same sweater, sew a cozy pillow for your car, or paint a photo frame.
To the girl
The fair half of humanity can be very picky about gifts, so men should choose them with special care.
Colleagues
It’s not worth giving each of your colleagues something expensive and significant. This will oblige people to make a reciprocal gesture. Therefore, it is better to choose some cute little things, preferably monotonous, so as not to single out one of your colleagues. These could just be universal gifts:
The gift to the boss should be more significant, and it is better if it is collective, from all employees. The bosses are usually given expensive pens, collectible alcohol, leather folders for papers...
Friends
Gifts for friends and colleagues
Also added to the list:
- a Monopoly game based on your city;
- game "Twister";
- puzzles with a large number of elements;
- plaid;
- elegant New Year's tablecloth;
- a set of salt or pepper shakers;
- something of household appliances(toaster, coffee maker, mixer...).
Where to buy gifts?
Pre-New Year shopping is a mini-holiday in itself. Vanity, shimmering garlands in shop windows and decorated Christmas trees in the halls shopping centers– all this incredibly lifts the mood. Therefore, many people prefer to purchase gifts in the last 2-3 days before the New Year 2020. But this is impractical, because prices at this time are inflated to the maximum. Shopping in advance (at least a week or two in advance) will allow you to save money.
There is another option: ordering New Year's gifts online. This will allow you to distinguish yourself at any holiday, because in the open spaces World Wide Web you can find original and unusual things. You should order your purchases a month before the New Year, because... Unforeseen force majeure and the failure of a gift to arrive on time can ruin the entire New Year's mood.

I gave my grandmother a homemade waterfall made of artificial flowers) this is when flowers seem to fall from a tea mug to another tea mug (from the same set), and on the flowers ladybugs and butterflies. It turned out very beautifully and grandma is happy)))

Rita Titarenko
I love New Year because you can give people gifts. My husband and I have already become a tradition of giving each other eau de toilette. Well, we always give bonuses))) for example, I can give something for fishing, and he can give him a pendant for a chain. We always give parents something for the home (a set of glasses, spice racks, a decanter for alcohol, a blanket). We often give alcohol to our friends))))
Maria
Most often I get souvenirs, New Year's toys, cosmetics or household items for the New Year.
Dmitry Levdansky
I gave my wife rings, earrings, pendants and other jewelry, perfume and underwear. But this is not the same. A gift to a loved one should be from the heart! It should evoke impressions and emotions. There must be a spiritual impulse! Therefore, my best gift was: dinner for two (prepared by me, by the way, and designer plush toys vk.com/lubozveri_shop) In second place is a bouquet of sweets. I don't give clothes, it's stupid. Cinema and theater tickets are commonplace.
Evgeniy
