To buy gifts for the new year for a married couple. How to decide what to give a couple for the New Year: each item has its own time and place

A holiday is approaching for a familiar couple, and you do not know what to give to your family? It's one thing when it comes to loved ones, and you know what kind of present they will like. And it is completely different when your acquaintances invited you to the celebration. Indeed, in this case, you can be lost in conjectures for a long time, because a surprise will have to be prepared not for one person, but for two, and you still do not know their interests well.

Moreover, you need to choose just such a present that both of them will equally like and will not be useless. And what gift for a married couple can please them and give warm and good memories? The tips in the article will help you.

Advice: “Before choosing a surprise for a couple, you need to clarify for what reason the husband and wife who invited you are arranging the celebration. For example, were you invited to a wedding, or maybe to celebrate its anniversary, to a housewarming party in a new apartment, or the birth of a baby. All this is very important and influences what kind of gift you will give to your family ”.

There are two more important points. The first concerns whether the couple has children. If there is, then naturally such a present will be significantly different from the present that you would give to childless spouses. What matters is what those who are going to have a surprise are interested in and are fond of. Let's start first of all with a presentation for couples. Before you buy gifts for your family, remember what tastes your acquaintances or friends have, what hobbies they have, character traits.

A gift for a calm couple

For example, if the husband and wife who invited you are very quiet and calm by nature, then they most likely lack something magical in our ordinary everyday reality filled with prose. A trip to a quiet picturesque place will be a great gift. We assure you that you have made the right choice of what to present to a married couple and they will remember this trip forever.

After all, who might not like a leisurely walk through an ancient castle or a distant island, where the spouses will be in complete unity with nature. Such a gift will give them at least a short time to enjoy the magic and visit a fairy tale in reality.

Gift for romantics

If the couple who invited you are romantics, then a dance lesson as a presentation is perfect for them. Lovers can easily imagine themselves the heroes of old films or stunning romance novels. And incendiary flamenco or flowing waltz melodies will only help them in this.

If you give your inviting couple a dance lesson, you can be sure that they will become stars at any party. They certainly will not remain unnoticed. In addition, such gifts for the family will help them to revive their old feelings.

Another great gift for romantic couples is pair jewelry. For example, you can purchase products in the form of a key and a lock in a store. They will like it as a present and decoration made in the shape of two halves of one heart. Romantics will perceive such a gift as something cute and will remember it with warmth for a very long time.

A potted plant is also a good surprise. Just ask the sellers in advance if it is perennial or one-year. We advise you to give preference to the first, so that the flower or tree will delight its new owners for a long time. The family will take care of such a gift with special trepidation, because it is a symbol of feelings that need to be cherished and protected.

Gift for intellectuals

If those who invited you to the celebration are known among their friends as intellectuals, the following presents are perfect for them. Subscribe your spouse to a popular science magazine they read. In this case, the husband and wife will be able to enjoy pleasant and informative reading for six months or even a year.

In addition, tickets to a fashionable sensational theatrical performance are pretty good gifts for the family. You can also donate a trip to an interesting concert. An excellent gift option would be intellectual games that require work of the mind and do not let you get bored. These include, for example, chess or the famous backgammon.

A married couple of intellectuals will like a gift in the form of an interesting variety of aromatic tea. The people who invited you will surely appreciate the attention with which you chose gifts for them.

A gift for extreme lovers

Were you invited by a married couple who simply cannot live without vivid sensations or just athletes? In this case, you will have to puzzle over a future gift. Of course, you can limit yourself to a banal subscription to a sports club so that a couple can work out in it together.

You can make a choice in favor of an ultra-modern simulator. But all this is usual, and anyone can think of it. The best thing would be to come up with something extraordinary. For example, those who like to experience extreme sensations will come in handy with a gift for the whole family in the form of a parachute jump.

A paragliding or hot air balloon flight will also be a good present. Even those spouses who already have quite good experience in sports or extreme sports will simply get an indelible feeling from such a great presentation.

In addition to the fact that they will receive a lot of positive emotions and sensations, they will also be very grateful to you for such an original surprise and will remember you for a very long time.

Gift for newlyweds or for an anniversary

In the case when the present is timed to a wedding celebration, you have many options, which surprise for the newlyweds to choose. You can opt for a traditional gift - money in an envelope, but you must admit that this is banal and not so memorable (unless, of course, there is an impressive amount there). Such gifts for the family, although practical, are very impersonal. But as for a romantic trip for two or expensive practical household appliances - this gift will be very useful.

An unusual fireworks will help to make the wedding unusual and memorable. Its uniqueness and originality is that it is not made of confetti, but of beautiful small bright butterflies. Think about it, because the newlyweds will definitely not be ready for such an incredible surprise. The butterflies that flew out of the box, opened by them, will look like a splash of joy and will become a small miracle and magic for newlyweds. And the spouses will remember you and your original present for a very long time with warmth and tenderness.

Tip: “When thinking about an anniversary gift, you should first clarify how many years they have been legally married. If your friends just got married, you can buy them something frivolous and very funny as a presentation. Those who have been married by marriage have not received a cheerful gift for a long time. Such people need to be presented with something more conservative. "

In general, experienced spouses need gifts for the family that will be both beneficial and functional.

  • If you are invited to a paper wedding (two years of marriage), you can make a present in the form of a stork or paper crane. Such a surprise carries a hidden allusion to the addition to the family.
  • And for a wedding, which is usually called a wooden one, you can present a trip to Kizhi. Such a surprise will surely make your acquaintances or friends smile. And as you know, it's worth a lot!

Gift for a couple with a baby

Usually, such a gift for a couple is made for the christening of a child or the birth of a baby. Anything related to caring for a child can be useful to a young mother and father. Feel free to choose a comfortable changing table or functional stroller. You can choose a warm natural blanket for walking or a rattle to which the baby will react with special joy. But in this case, the best option is to consult with young parents.

Choosing a gift for a couple is not so easy.

Well, if these are your close friends, then their interests and needs are usually familiar. And if not?

In this case, you will have to smash your head in order to come up with an idea for a presentation that both spouses will like and will like.

Pair mugs... You can donate without hesitation. The purchase will not burden the budget at all, but the owners will have more than enough emotions! For the decoration, the names of lovers, funny pictures or creative texts are usually used.

Selfie remote... For lovers of selfies, this is the perfect New Year's gift. It is not always possible to get a good result by holding the smartphone only at arm's length. Better let the guy sit on his knees his girlfriend and control the camera shutter remotely.

Piggy bank "Gold reserve"... Do you think that only stingy people dream of such gifts? No, no! Young people, in fact, have nothing to put off for a rainy day. The present can rather be considered symbolic. Let all material problems remain in the outgoing year.

Almost everyone has friends or relatives for whom it is necessary to choose common or paired gifts. They can be spouses or just lovers celebrating a housewarming, wedding anniversary or Valentine's Day. In such cases, you want to please both the girl and the guy. In this article, we will look at what you can give a couple to please both.

Gifts for lovers

A couple in love who have not yet started a family is usually characterized by sweet romance. They should give gifts that will become symbols of their wonderful feelings. You can order an interesting Oscar statuette with the inscription “Awarded to the best couple of the year”. Be sure that such a gift will delight both lovers. But if they do not live together yet, the question may arise who will keep such a “rarity”.

In this case, paired gifts are ideal. You can get 2 T-shirts in different sizes. On the female one may be the inscription “I am his beloved”, and on the male one - “I am her beloved”. There are a lot of options for original inscriptions. You can choose both a ready-made copy and offer your own idea. It is also possible to order tea cups with similar text for both lovers.

Recently, it has become very fashionable to give a couple of pillows with various inscriptions, interesting pictures or even photographs. Choose a beautiful shot of a couple and order two matching pillows with it. Such a present will not only become a symbol of love, but will also remind you of your soul mate every day before going to bed. A photo album can be a similar gift. You can donate it empty, or you can try to fill it at least half with the best photos of the couple. They are easy to find on social media profiles, so don't be lazy to surprise them.

Gifts for couples

For a couple who have started a family, especially if this happened recently, it is better to give practical things for home and household. A powerful vacuum cleaner, electric meat grinder, mixer, blender, high-quality juicer, toaster or sandwich maker, electric kettle or coffee maker - all this will greatly facilitate the life of a newly-made family.

You can also give various dishes and kitchen utensils for the home. A set of plates, coffee and table sets, sets of forks and knives, beautiful fruit vases, soup bowls and salad bowls - all this will come in handy in any home.

Don't forget about quality bathroom items. A soft rug under your feet, paired bath towels or a standard set of three towels, a mirror with shelves, good bathrobes after swimming (you can choose a woman's and a man's in the same color scheme, or you can choose a dark one for a man, and a light one for a woman).

You can also give your family an original painting on the wall, a wall or table clock, a photo album for family photos, interesting souvenirs for the living room, a floor vase for flowers, a jewelry box or an old-style chest. A solid gift will be a wooden bottle holder, to which you can pick up good wine or expensive cognac, depending on what the couple prefers.

For a young married couple, you can order two pendants made of gold or silver in the form of halves of a heart, which together will form a beautiful heart - a permanent symbol of love. In this style, you can pick up other presents, consisting of two parts of one whole. This option is not only a gift for both, but also means a wish for a lasting and harmonious union.

It would be nice to give the couple a vacation ticket or tickets to some event that will be of interest to both spouses. To do this, you just need to know in advance about the family's schedule, since such an unscheduled vacation may be impossible due to high employment at work, etc. But you can almost always get out to a concert or show in the evening.

The first years of life are usually a period when everything is needed completely, and some household little things will never be superfluous. Especially if the dad lives separately from the parents, and they need to settle in the house. Here, perhaps, it is worth starting from this moment when choosing a New Year's gift.

The first idea.

And so, if you decide to buy something useful, but you still doubt it, you can simply ask corny about the family's needs. Perhaps, for complete happiness, they lack a set of forks, or a few sofa cushions, while you frantically chose household appliances.

But this is not a guarantee that you will receive an answer to this question, and the effect of the surprise will be ruined. It is easier if you have already visited them and yourself were able to notice the "shortage". But it is possible that you are not the only one who is so attentive. And also take into account the prescription of the last visit, perhaps everything has already been done without you.

The second idea, a couple as a gift for a couple.

We also take into account the fact that these are probably the first months of their life together. They did not have time to get bored with each other, and probably while everyday life fades into the background, compared with their desire to constantly be together. Pair gifts will be useful here. For example, it can be paired cups, bracelets, bathrobes, even the same room slippers. Ideal if you can afford to customize such items, for example, with their initials, or just a funny picture.

Third idea.

If a young family has already managed to acquire everything necessary for the new year, then the matter is for symbolic gifts. A variety of figurines are perfect for such cases, perhaps even functional, family amulets, decorative elements, just nice little things. A gift that will evoke a certain association in the newlyweds will be especially successful. Perhaps you know their favorite song and present it in a music box, or they somehow got to know each other in a special way, and you will use some object to remind them of this moment. Usually such gifts are perceived very warmly, and are of great importance for those to whom they are presented. Also, with such a gift, you show your attentiveness and warm feelings to the young family. Only the main thing is that this gift is not too intimate, and does not give away their secrets. Unless your communication is quite close, and the secret was told to you by both spouses.

If a young couple has a good sense of humor, be sure to start from this fact when choosing a gift. Now there are a lot of seemingly unnecessary items that cheer you up. By the way, such a trifle will remind the couple of you for a long time.

The fourth idea.

Older people tend to have memories, and young people have hopes. Make a gift so that your newlyweds have something to remember in the future.

There are two options here, either you give them an event, or something in which you can store memories. Let's start with events. To do this, you do not have to get all your stash and buy a ticket to a romantic trip. It would be a very good option though. Sometimes tickets for a concert, theater, cinema, exhibition are enough. Perhaps tickets for some extreme entertainment.

Now Vienna themed balls have become very fashionable, if a couple loves to dance - give them two invitations to the nearest of the balls. Do not forget to take into account the tastes of the couple, their interests and preferences, otherwise instead of photos, your gift will be framed.

Speaking of frames and photographs. It can also be a great gift. Present a young family, an interesting frame, or even several, a photo album, a family notebook, or something like that. If you find such a gift too trivial, add something of your own to it.

It is a good idea for a photo album if you first fill it with a few photos of them together, inserting them according to the stages of their relationship. You can make such photos in the form of a collage, or arrange them with a thematic frame. Everything will depend on your capabilities, wishes and imagination.
