Do not know what to present to a colleague or a good friend? Give a symbolic gift. What could it be? Symbolic does not mean useless. Few people enjoy statuettes or calendars. Therefore, if you can’t come up with it yourself, use the ideas below.
Wallet
A symbolic gift of such a plan is very popular with girls. The fair sex changes wallets like gloves or, as they say today, like phone cases. Such a present will be useful, functional, and most importantly - necessary. But remember that a wallet is not presented without money. Therefore, at least 50 rubles will have to be put inside. But you can show originality and put inside not a bill, but a souvenir. Today, souvenirs that live in a wallet are popular. It can be a spoon-pick or a mouse.
Goodies
As a symbolic gift, you can present sweets or cookies. You can cook such sweets with your own hands, or buy in a store. The main thing in such a gift is packaging. Make it out of cardboard or make a small bag of paper. You can put a big lollipop or curly gingerbread cookies in it. Or you can buy cookies with wishes. A small sweet gift can be presented for any reason. Getting it is much nicer than a trivial chocolate bar.
Soap
Today, symbolic handmade gifts are popular. If you know how to make soap, do not hesitate to present the result of your activity to friends. Close people will appreciate not only your skill, but also care. After all, chemistry is not added to homemade soap. It consists exclusively of oils and natural additives such as coffee, orange peel or rose petals. If you do not know how to make soap with your own hands, you can always buy it in a store. Such a gift will be not only pleasant, but also utilitarian.
Alcohol
A symbolic gift for the New Year may be a bottle of champagne. This drink is associated with the holiday and will certainly be appropriate on the served table. What champagne to give, you decide. If you do not know the preferences of a person, take semi-sweet. If you want to make a small surprise to a man, you should present him small bottles of strong alcoholic drinks. You can buy several types of whiskey or cognac and pack it in one beautiful box.
Flower pot
What should a symbolic gift look like for a colleague? Present the flowers, but not in the form of a bouquet. A living plant will be able to decorate a colleague's table or window sill. It can be small roses, even colored cacti. Choose a flower that matches the character of your friend.
Such a gift can please a person for a long time, especially if it takes root and grows. And to make the present unique, when you give a flower, give it a name. And then you can from time to time be interested in how "Grisha" or "Misha" is doing there.
Money box
What can be presented as a symbolic birthday present? If a person tells you that he always does not have enough money for something, present him a piggy bank. You can choose the standard option in the form of a pig or in the form of another animal. For example, cats or dogs. Such a present may seem old-fashioned to some. Today, young people keep their savings on a card. Well, what can I say about this? Money is spent from the card, and if you “feed” the pig 100-ruble pieces of paper, you can save up, for example, for future vacations.
Diary
The ideal symbolic gift for a man is a glider. The daily log is that thing which practically no person can do without. Even people who sit at home all day have to plan their business. And if a person is a businessman and is forced to make important decisions every day, then he will not be able to do without such a thing. The secretary plans only work matters for men. But she will not remind that it is necessary to pick up shoes from the repair, that next week should go to the hairdresser.
Slippers
A symbolic gift for a man on New Year's Day is cozy slippers. Representatives of the stronger sex rarely buy such new clothes for themselves. No, men do not mind such a trifle of money. Rather, the point is their natural dislike of shopping, especially clothing stores. Therefore, if you know the size of a man’s legs, you can buy him soft home slippers. For example, a model made of sheep wool. Slippers should have a classic shape. In this case, the man will definitely like your present.
Set for creativity
This gift will be appreciated by any girl who does needlework in her free time. Which set should I prefer? You can purchase a set for weaving from beads or for sculpting from polymer clay. If your friend embroiders, then give her a complicated pattern, if she knits - a knitting magazine, and if you don’t know what the girl is interested in, get diamond embroidery. Gluing rhinestones to the canvas will appeal to any needlewoman. Today, paintings that need to be painted by numbers are popular. If your friend always wanted to feel like an artist, give her this opportunity.
Casket
Cute things always attract female attention. Therefore, a win-win gift is a casket. Especially girls will like a musical little thing that will have some element of interactivity. Such a box will be used not only for its intended purpose, but will also take its rightful place on the cosmetic table. You will be pleased to see that the girl appreciated the gift.
Spice
This is a universal present. If you know that your friend loves to cook, give him spices. Indeed, the taste and piquancy of a dish depends on dried herbs. Good spices in beautiful packaging are expensive, and not every person can immediately buy a set. Therefore, you can present something special to a person that is difficult to find on the shelf of the nearest supermarket. It can be saffron, star anise or cilantro. If you know that your friend does not have beautiful jars for spices, give them exactly. It’s not necessary to buy a large set. You can lay the foundation of the collection, and if a person appreciates the gift, he will buy the missing parts himself.
Trinket
Do not know what to give? Present the keychain. This thing, oddly enough, needs to be updated all the time. Trinkets are lost, broken, get dirty and quickly go out of use. Therefore, you can safely present something of high quality and metal. You can find a keychain with a lighter, knife or opener built into it. Proceed from the needs of the person and from his preferences. If you are giving such a souvenir to a girl, then you should give preference to a small soft toy.
