From the author: This material was published on the author’s website “Demyanova Science” The holidays ahead of us are February 23, March 8…. Gift ideas for special occasions are very important, but presenting them correctly is also of great importance. We offer you several ideas on how to give gifts. It is important not only what gift to give, but also How to give gifts!!! Throw your loved one an unexpected party (the main thing is that there is nothing foreshadowed before...). Ambush the birthday boy at his home or office. Or break into his house with gifts in clown hats and original dishes. Or Traditionally, don’t sit in the evening and wait for your soulmate with a gift. Try to do this: When he (she) returns, you will not be at home, and on the table there is a note “Dinner in a pan, dear (dear)!” When your loved one opens the pan, he will be surprised to find an invitation to dine together in a restaurant, where you will be waiting for him at the appointed time at the reserved table))) Such an unexpected and at the same time pleasant surprise can be made for a birthday! At first, your significant other will be very surprised that you are not at home on such a significant day for him and, moreover, there are no hints of a festive dinner. But disappointment will quickly give way to surprise when he (she) finds an invitation to a restaurant, and there, along with you, a cheerful company of his friends eager to congratulate him (her) on the holiday! If your gift is money, then here you can come up with many original ways: Give a piggy bank, but not empty, but with money with a hint that when the donor needs money (for example, for a trip), then he will break it. You can put the money in a pirate chest and even bury it, and give the hero of the occasion a treasure map. Your holiday evening can largely be filled with a joyful journey in search of treasure! Bake a cake and hide banknotes inside. Of course, it’s better to put them in some kind of waterproof packaging before placing them in the middle. You can make an original origami out of money or make a “money” tree. If you are a man and have finally decided to give your beloved money for a fur coat, do it in a very original way: change a large amount into small money, put each bill in a transparent file, secure them together in the form of outerwear. Ask her to close her eyes and dress her beloved in a supposedly new fur coat (you can come up with options yourself). You will have to work a little, but such a surprise will be remembered for a lifetime. You can do this: Buy helium balloons and hang your gift. You can release the balls on a long rope so that they stop at the level of your beloved’s window (the young man will also be pleased with such a surprise, so girls, go for it). Also, find a large, simply huge box and put your gift on the bottom (weight the bottom with something ), and place helium balloons on top. When the recipient opens the box, balls will fly up, and at the bottom he will find your surprise. The impression will be unforgettable. Men, remember. It is better for women to give expensive gifts more than once a year, but the more often the better, and not on holidays, but just like that!!! And men won’t refuse this - they just, well! very modest...If you do not have a suitable way to present a gift, then focus on the place where you present it. Let it be romantic or meaningful for you. Now another situation: a group of friends comes to you. On such universal holidays, for example, as February 23, you want to give everyone a souvenir and not leave anyone unattended. Do not rush to give gifts to everyone right away. Make it the highlight of the entire evening. When preparing the holiday table, sign a place for each guest on the greeting card. Place a gift in a beautiful package next to the plate and card. Your friends will take the seats assigned to them in advance, and during the evening, before the next toast, they will open their gift. The owners can comment on the souvenir located there andcongratulate you on the holiday (based in compliments and congratulations on the need to have this thing for personal use) You can put gifts for guests in boxes of different colors and sizes that are approximately the same in price, but completely different (with a hint of wish fulfillment or with the fact that everyone chooses their own destiny). It is not necessary that the larger box contains a more valuable and expensive gift. After this, invite guests to choose a place at the festive table, focusing on the box they like. It is also better to open souvenirs in boxes throughout the evening, show them to everyone present, play with them or indicate the fulfillment of one or another desire. Or you can do this: under each guest’s plate there is a note indicating the location of the gift. But in no case should you talk about this in advance, and when your guests are already walking around, it may become an unexpected surprise for them... On your birthday, guests also should not spontaneously give gifts upon arrival at the door. Make a tradition that you first receive guests, say thank you, give them compliments, undress them, invite them into the living room…. sit down at the table... And then, when the guests are all seated at the tables, they take turns giving gifts, playing up this action with words, toasts, wishes, etc. Or, according to your script, there is a special performance before a delicious treat, where there is a special place for giving gifts to the birthday boy.... There is another idea. While the birthday person is absent from the room, you can invite guests to place gifts in the middle of the room, and cover each one with a pre-prepared cloth. There will be a little intrigue and great interest. Throughout the evening, after a certain amount of time (which you set yourself or come up with a scenario and conditions in it), the birthday person must take turns approaching one hidden gift and open it. Perhaps you will even invite him to guess who presented this surprise. Or hide all the gifts in the room where the celebration is taking place, and then invite the main culprit of the event to play a game of hot and cold. The presenters can take turns being those guests whose gift is being sought. It turns out to be very fun and exciting. For a child, searching for treasure will be one of the most preferred ways to find a gift. Give your little one a treasure map (or send it by mail from the main pirate of the Deep Sea) and let him go on an exciting journey! Our little son gave a lot of interesting ideas (we'll tell you about the rest in future articles). For an amazing surprise, you can’t help but use the postal service. For example, he offered to send a parcel to his older brother in St. Petersburg (he studies with us there), filled the parcel with chocolate and put his favorite toy. Receive news from the Motherland (even one that you can buy at the nearest store and not spend money on postage, and just sending money) always and to everyone is very pleasant. After all, the thought that they tried for you, thought about you, put so much soul into the surprise - almost everyone will want it!!! And if the package came with a signature from an unknown fan (fan)....?! Or you sent a letter to the recipient of a gift from a mysterious a stranger with an address and a text where you can pick up the “goods” (you can simply put the letter in your mailbox yourself at a convenient time). For example, the text of the letter may be as follows: You have been sent a parcel from an unknown addressee, in order to pick up the GOODS, you need to go to the IKEA Store, to the third checkout and ask Alena, to receive the GOODS you need to enter the following password “,,,,” (you you understand that for a small reward many people will want to help you, and they will even just be pleased to participate in this scenario) It can be done in another way, already traditional, but impressive: During a romantic dinner, have a courier ring your doorbell delivering mail , he will call the name of the recipient and even ask you to sign for the receipt of the gift. When you unfold it, the recipient will be found inside - delight and kisses to you…
