In this video, Roman and Nastya will tell you what an inexpensive gift (up to 5,000 rubles) can be given to a girl on New Year's Eve:

Jewelry

“A girl's best friend is diamonds,” reads a line from one famous hit. And the truth of life says: few of the fair sex will refuse an elegant and expensive gift in honor of the holiday. True, it is worth approaching this enterprise with caution and it is better to refrain from buying rings: such a sign of attention will be perceived very wrong.

In order to avoid misunderstandings, it is worth dwelling on more familiar things:

• Pendant;
• Bracelet;
• Chain;
• Earrings.

Cosmetics

She is generally not considered the best way to please a woman. Beauty care products allude too clearly to appearance (and thus the need to improve it).

It is worth taking such a step only with a very long-standing trusting relationship. Or in the case when the donee herself made an unambiguous allusion to this. Solomon's decision give her a gift certificate for the New Year in an expensive store.

Mobile phone

Recently, smartphones have become a universal gift. They are equally suitable for any festive occasion, and the New Year is no exception. An expensive present from the famous "apple" company will best emphasize the seriousness of the boyfriend's intentions.

With a modest budget, it is worth stopping at less prestigious, but high-quality brands:

• "Xiaomi";
• Meizu;
• "LG", etc.

Too cheap devices should not be given: it is better then to think about another gift, which will take its originality. More on this in the next section.

Other gadgets

If we are talking about a young girl, then she, like all representatives of the modern generation, will be delighted with all kinds of high-tech devices. Even if they are much cheaper than the top iPhone. Fantasies have a place to turn around:

• Stylish wireless headphones;
• A flash drive with an unusual design,
• Fancy keyboard.

Whenever a friend uses all these gadgets, she will remember you. So think practical.

Decorative accessories

This is where the imagination can run its course! A caring young man can choose for his passion whatever his heart tells him:

• Handmade knitted blanket that will keep your beloved warm in the winter cold;
• Mat for yoga or fitness classes;
• Clothes with heart prints, interesting quote, etc.;
• Designer night lamp on the bedside table;
• A diary with a colorfully painted cover;

This option is suitable for any wallet, but requires some ingenuity.

How to please an autolady?

Emancipation has done its job, and now the woman behind the wheel is turning from a constant hero of jokes into an everyday routine that does not surprise anyone. However, this is even better for the donor: the presence of an “iron horse” greatly simplifies the process of choosing a present.

Who said that a gift must be in a material form? New Year's Eve is doubly fun if it's a great pastime:

• If you have money, go with your soul mate to the other side of the world, where there is never snow and cold;
• If a personal BMW is not parked under the window, you can choose a more affordable trip around Russia. For example, Moscow and St. Petersburg annually attract tourists at the end of the year. Both capitals at this time are decorated no worse than the largest global cities on the planet;
• Finally, you can just take the girl to a restaurant, cafe or cinema.

If a woman is used to being the boss

To please a strong woman is much more difficult than to please a silly handsome man. If the latter is delighted with a large plush toy or a heart-shaped pillow, then you need to please a business woman with something really special. The main thing is not to hint at the stereotypical “weakness” or the need to be necessarily beautiful. The search circle narrows down to the following options:

• Expensive wallet made of genuine leather;
• Portfolio for business papers;
• Decorative handle in strict execution;
• Works of visual art (paintings or sculptures).

Exclusive gifts

Every person loves increased attention to his person. You can do this in one of the following ways:

• Sweets with the name of the lucky girl on the package;
• A pair of T-shirts with images of lovers;
• Nominal coffee mug;
• Photo magnet or photo keychain in festive decoration;
• Cake with personal congratulations;
• Embroidery (the price for it can be quite high).

Such a move can touch almost any girl.

Gifts from "Aliexpress"

The world's largest online retailer has made life easier for the strong half of humanity, eliminating the need to roam around the shops:

• Fitness bracelet. A multifunctional device that not only determines the number of calories burned, but is also the best alarm clock. Price: from a thousand rubles;

• External battery. Perfect for lovers of constant travel;
• Quadcopter. A small aircraft will appeal not only to guys, but also to their lovers. They cost from 2000 rubles.

But if less than a month is left before the winter holiday, it is better not to risk it. Please note that before December 31, post offices are loaded to the maximum. There is a risk of not waiting for the goods and leaving a friend without a gift on the day of the celebration.

Do-it-yourself gift for a girl for the New Year

Each of us is tired of the same type of poems in purchased postcards and template virtual congratulations on VKontakte. A handmade thing speaks much more about caring.

Here are some examples what can make you happy your soul mate:

1. Melted chocolate figurines. Your beloved will be extremely happy with sweets in the form of your favorite cartoon character;
2. Make a unique gift wrap. To do this, you will need a set of high-quality colored paper, a photograph of the donee, scissors and glue. The classic version is a heart-shaped box;
3. Bouquet of sweets. In a flower pot, glue a few skewers with superglue. Attach sweets to them - so that everything looks aesthetically pleasing.

This is not a complete list of what to give a friend for the New Year. You need to draw inspiration in the search for that very present from the habits of your beloved (maybe she just needs a book) and your own imagination. The main thing is not to slide down to meaningless gray solutions of the same type, just “for show”.

In this video, Marina Rokokovskaya will tell you what gifts you can please your loved ones for the New Year:

A great gift for almost any girl will be cosmetics. It can be lipstick, eye shadow, eyeliner, mascara, powder, etc. Even if your girlfriend has enough of all this goodness, she, like any other representative of the fair sex, will be delighted with the new thing. The main thing is that the cosmetics are of high quality, you don’t want your dear little man to have skin problems because of your gift, do you?

If you have long and well known the tastes of a girlfriend, give her a perfume. It should be selected depending on the character of the girl. If she is tender and feminine - give her a subtle, soft fragrance, if she is very energetic - pick up a sharper, sweeter perfume.

Memory

An album with photographs will be a chic gift for a girl. Recently, few people print their photographs. As a rule, all of them are stored on the computer. Buy a beautiful album, print your group pictures. Beautifully design the album, if there are empty lines near the photos, fill them with warm words. With such a gift, you can spend an unforgettable evening full of nostalgia and pleasant memories.

Literature

If your girlfriend loves to read, you can consider that choosing a gift for you is not a problem. Believe me, a connoisseur of literature will be delighted with an interesting book in a beautiful binding. Find out only which genre she prefers, so as not to be mistaken.

Hobby

If you want her to sincerely thank you one day, give her a subscription, for example, to dance, fitness, aerobics, aqua aerobics, to the gym or even to strip plastic. If it seems to you that your girlfriend has absolutely no time to go in for sports, be sure she will find it: the subscription will not disappear. Having taken up a new occupation for herself, the girl will be able to find her hobby, improve her health, and create a beautiful figure. In the end, she may be able to find her soul mate if she is still single.

Entertainment

It's a good idea to give tickets to a concert. If her favorite musical group is coming to town, don't doubt your choice at all. By purchasing two tickets, you will soon have a great time together.

Gift with soul

If you know how to do something with your own hands, do not be too lazy to do it for a friend. For example, if you have the talent of an artist, paint her a picture. This is a wonderful gift, a memory for a lifetime. If you know how to weave from beads, you can embroider an icon with beads or weave a magnificent bouquet from it.

The main thing is to give gifts with love. Then any surprise will be unforgettable for your loved one.
