The tradition of celebrating a birthday did not always exist. In Russia in ancient times, only angel day was widely celebrated. And it was a really big celebration, many guests invited, had round dances, sang songs. We prepared for this day in advance - we stocked up on food and fed animals.
And today, scientists cannot give an exact answer when and where the tradition to celebrate a birthday came from. Some argue that this holiday originates in ancient Egypt. Other scientists believe that the birthday has pagan roots and appeared in the form of a rite of black magic. Everyone involved in sorcery was convinced that congratulations that day acted as spells and tended to come true. In Christianity, such a tradition was banned by the church, as it had pagan roots. At the beginning of the 18th century, the requirements were much weakened, and the priests began to keep a special book in which they noted the date of birth of a person.

- Nowadays, fashion returns to everything that is done with your own hands. And if you are not needleworkers, then you can turn to the master. Look at photos of rag dolls from different creators and select your favorite. Most likely, the doll will have to be ordered from another city. You need to take this fact into account and do it in advance - in about 2 weeks. These dolls are already good because no one else will have exactly the same. They are light and beautiful. Often, when sewing dolls, craftsmen use real hair. Put a banknote in the pocket of the doll’s dress or under your arm and pack it in a box and then in beautiful paper. Such a doll is not intended for children's games. She is an adornment of home interior. Therefore, it can be safely presented to the girl on her 19th birthday.

Interesting pumpkin
If you are a person with humor, then you can easily amuse the birthday girl and guests with the following gift. Take an ordinary pumpkin and cut a square. Inside, make a small indentation. Thus, you should get 5-7 squares. Anything can be put in each hole - candy, stone, shell, etc., but a banknote should be hidden in one recess. Next, put back the squares from the peel into the pumpkin. It is advisable that after such manipulations she look as aesthetically pleasing as before them. Therefore, you need to cut carefully, with a sharp knife. Then present the pumpkin as a gift with the wishes: "This is for you, so that you are always healthy and slim." Perhaps the first seconds for the birthday girl will be shocked, so delaying with the surprise itself is not worth it. Tell us about the need for a birthday girl to find a present in a pumpkin. A fun and interesting gift that no one has ever given her or will give her. Therefore, it will be remembered for a lifetime.

Perfume
Well, what girl at the age of 19 will refuse a good perfume? There is no such. But first you need to find out exactly which flavor the birthday girl prefers. After all, you don’t want her to dislike the gift, and she gave it to her mother or grandmother for use. But if you are invited to a birthday, but you still haven’t managed to find out the girl’s favorite scents, do not despair.

Cosmetics

Perhaps this is only mascara and lip gloss, and you give her a three-tiered suitcase with eyeshadow that she does not need, and at best, she will give it to someone. If this is still mascara and lip gloss, then you do not need to add anything else to them to make the gift seem voluminous. The right decision is to buy these two branded things, which means they are not cheap. This will be appreciated, and not a mountain of cosmetics for 100 rubles.
Accessory
