Therefore, you have to be sophisticated, invent something, run around the shops, so that a gift for a man for Christmas or New Year is not just necessary, but also original, memorable. But you have us!
In the first part of a series of articles on New Year's gifts, we already looked at some of the ideas for a presentation and talked about what you need to consider when choosing one. We will continue today. This time we offer even more ordinary and not so, spectacular, eccentric or classic options for the closest men (husbands, brothers, fathers, best friends). Forget the holiday hustle and bustle! Choose any of them and save your time for more important things. After all, it is better to spend it with family or friends. So let's go!
What is the perfect gift?
Every time we ask ourselves this question. But there is no definite answer to it. You will not find exact recipes for the perfect presentation, neither in books nor on the Internet. Why? Because only you know the close people to whom you are going to present gifts better than others. Today we will try to facilitate your search by throwing in a few ideas for an original, useful, memorable or pleasant New Year's gift. You just have to choose the best one and buy it. So let's not waste time!
Strong alcoholic drink, complemented by a quality cigar, can become a unique gift set for a real man
Alcohol
Such a present belongs to the universal category that is relevant always and everywhere. It is believed that alcohol is not worth giving at Christmas or New Years. But many experts say the opposite (and I agree with them). In their opinion, it is perfectly acceptable to use strong alcoholic drinks as a presentation. But at the same time, they must be of exceptional quality. Don't forget about decent packaging. Consider the status and individual preferences of the person to whom you are choosing a gift.

The list of holiday presents may well include:
Vodka
The drink is popular not only of Russian production. Some successful businessmen drink exclusively foreign bottled vodka and famous, status brands. It would be nice to first clarify which category of people your man belongs to.
Whiskey
Usually this drink is given by those who consider vodka an unoriginal present. Well, quite reasonable. But be careful! Whiskey is often not cheap, but the price may not match the quality. It is optimal if you have chosen the variety for a gift that you have tried yourself earlier. This will save you the risk of getting screwed up.
Cognac
It is considered one of the best contenders for a gift for a man. And there is a logical explanation for that. Firstly, in stores, cognac is presented in an incredibly wide range, which greatly enriches the choice. Secondly, its cost can satisfy both a non-limiting buyer and people with more modest financial capabilities. It all depends on the country of origin of the drink and the brand. French cognac is still considered the best in the world, but some of the American and European varieties are not at all inferior in quality.
Gin
This drink is not as popular as the competitors listed above. But it can be presented to a man if he prefers to drink cocktails. Gin is found in many of the recipes.
Vermouth
A few years ago, in our country, interest in this drink was sluggish. But today, things are different. Vermouth once again attracted the attention of buyers and returned the status of a drink of true gentlemen. We have already written about how to choose it in a separate detailed article on our blog. It only remains to add that its taste is exquisite, many men enjoy this drink. In addition, vermouth is also a part of many traditional and modern cocktail recipes.
Ready sets
Recently, some stores offer such solutions. In my humble opinion, this is the best option if you nevertheless decided to give a man exactly alcohol. Here everything is already thought out for the buyer, harmoniously selected and beautifully decorated. The advantage of the kits is their effective packaging and companions that complement alcoholic drinks. Among the latter are often used: glasses, a Cuban cigar, special dishes for making cocktails, an original New Year's souvenir and much more. In addition, you can purchase a set consisting of several miniature bottles of different alcoholic beverages (whiskey, cognac, vodka, brandy, martini, gin, etc.). This will give the man the opportunity to try several types of alcohol instead of one.
The bow tie
In the first part of the New Year's series of articles, I already mentioned ties. But I dare to repeat myself. This time we will focus exclusively on the bow tie. Why? Because this is one of those accessories that men like, but not everyone can decide to buy them for themselves.
However, even if the addressee of your future gift already has a similar accent wardrobe detail, you can always please him with a different color option. The best solution for a holiday gift will be bright solutions, as well as models with themed prints. Miniature images of anchors, steering wheels, faces with a neat beard and mustache will make such an accessory not only original, but spectacular and memorable. It is only important not to overdo it with colors! A tie should be in harmony with the usual wardrobe of a particular man. You can donate this accessory complete with socks matched in style and color, a pocket square.

Gift for a man for Christmas or New Year if he smokes
Is your close friend, best friend, brother or husband trying to quit smoking or at least reduce the harmful effects of cigarettes on the body? Fine! Maybe it's time to get him an e-cigarette? Today wipers are in trend, they are often seen on the street. In addition, manufacturers claim that an electronic device is able to completely replace an ordinary cigarette, significantly reducing the harm caused to health from smoking. Think about this option!
If your father, grandfather, brother, friend or husband smokes a pipe, cigarillos or cigars and is not going to give up his habit, then you will have to accept this and reconsider your ideas. Better to give him a box of expensive tobacco, a set of Cuban cigars, or a premium pipe. Or maybe your loved one smokes a hookah?

I agree, these gifts are not cheap. But then you can stop at more modest cost accessories for smoking. A guillotine or a cigar humidor, lighter, ashtray, cigarette case, hookah tobacco, or something else will do just fine. Most importantly, do not forget to pack your precious gift beautifully, unless it already has a holiday box. In any case, a joyful smile and gratitude for the understanding of your loved one are guaranteed.
Warm clothes and accessories
What could be more relevant in winter than warm clothes? They can be bought in a boutique – many stores offer special New Year's collections of clothes and accessories – or created by the loving hands of a mother, grandmother, wife, girlfriend. Handmade is in vogue now!

It is able to accommodate various useful little things, from shower gel, shampoo, shaving foam, hairbrush, and ending with a passport, plane ticket and so on.
