February 23 is a great holiday and at the same time a difficult day for all women. You need to prepare gifts for your loved one, for all male relatives, for male colleagues at work … And you can't get off with something banal, otherwise you will become a new hero of jokes! Don't panic: it's 2018, we have the Internet at our disposal and a bunch of interesting ideas. No deodorants or ballpoint pens – we choose original gifts that your dear men will surely like.
Inexpensive gifts for February 23
Everyone celebrates Defender of the Fatherland Day in different ways: some people limit themselves to gifts to their own men: husband, dad, son, but many women have to use their imagination to please a much larger number of the stronger sex, for example, work colleagues, classmates, friends . In this case, of course, it is difficult to find a dream gift for everyone, but if you wish, you can find interesting inexpensive souvenirs that will definitely cheer you up.
To begin with, let's remember what gifts for February 23 are better to avoid (especially if we are not talking about loved ones):
- frankly meaningless (figurines, plush elephants, piggy banks),
- taking up a lot of space (pieces of furniture, paintings, posters, etc., which must be hung / placed),
- overly personal (underpants, condoms, 'humorous' things that make fun of a person's flaws / problems),
- morally obsolete (20 years ago, a diary or pen was a good gift, but now almost all men keep records on their smartphones or computers).
Gifts with humor should only be given to people you know well and if you are sure that they will understand and appreciate the joke. Especially on military topics.
As a rule, men love practical gifts, so if you don't know what to choose for February 23rd, pay attention to those things that everyone can definitely use. To support the theme of the holiday, you can choose items stylized as a military theme, or play with camouflage and other attributes in the gift wrapping. Here are some of the more versatile ideas:
- USB sticks and hubs,
- something edible (for example, themed gingerbread or tea),
- thermo mugs,
- spare batteries for your phone,
- creative openers and corkscrews,
- stands for smartphones and tablets.

Original gifts for Defender of the Fatherland Day
Choosing a gift for February 23 is not an easy matter, especially when it comes to an adult man who, as they say, has everything. Yes, you are unlikely to buy your husband or dad something that he himself could not afford, but this is not the main thing in a gift! Just bet not on the high price, but on other aspects: originality, spectacular appearance, good taste. In this case, your gift will definitely cheer up your dear person.
Let's take a look at some interesting ideas.
Hobby goods
No, we will not repeat the banal advice that the angler should be presented with a fishing rod, and a motorist with a steering wheel cover! People are very fond of receiving gifts related to their hobbies, but the problem is that if you yourself are far from these hobbies, then choosing what you really need can be difficult.
An alternative option is the usual accessories with symbols associated with your favorite hobby
A good solution in this case is gift certificates. They can be either for goods in ordinary popular stores (for example, sports or books), and for various courses: training programs for everything are gaining popularity, and certificates for their passage can almost always be bought online.
clothing
It seems that giving clothes is a banal and controversial idea, but in fact, if you approach the choice thoroughly, this gift can be the most successful. Who better than women to choose stylish things for their beloved men!
When choosing a gift, start from what the man is already wearing, do not try to impose your taste on him. For example, a fan of sports style should hardly give a tie, and a businessman who never takes off a business suit may not appreciate a fashionable sweatshirt. Pay attention to the styles that your husband or friend likes, and choose something in a similar style, but with some kind of 'trick': with an unusual print, a different color, a famous brand, with reflective elements, from an innovative material, etc. after all, the gift should not completely copy the things that are already in the wardrobe.

And two more points. First, choose things that are easier to guess with the size: for example, T-shirts, longsleeves, sweaters, shirts – but not pants or suits. Secondly, it is advisable to retain the ability to return / exchange an item if it does not fit at all. To do this, do not throw away the checks, well, just in case, specify the terms of return upon purchase.
Accessories
Another segment where you can find a lot of original gifts for February 23rd is accessories. It is even easier with them, as you can not be afraid to miss the size or fit. The general advice is the same: proceed from what your man already loves / wears. Gift options can be, for example, the following:
- cover for smartphone / tablet (just be sure to check the model!),
- tie (not necessarily classic, you can knit, thin, polka dots, microfiber – there are a lot of options),
- bow tie (separate hit – wooden),
- men's bracelets (but this, of course, not for grandfather!),
- stylish scarf,
- gloves for touch screens (very useful thing in winter!)
Out of the ordinary accessories can completely change the image. And become a great gift!
What to give your loved one on February 23
If a small gift showing attention is enough for relatives, friends and colleagues on February 23, then girls usually want to give something more solid to their boyfriend or husband. Of course, the best gift for everyone is different, but here are a few ideas that you might find useful.
Gadget
In our age of high technology, nothing changes as often as all kinds of gadgets. Some of them are really useful, others become more of an expensive toy, but in any case, every man surely dreams of some kind of technical novelty. It can be:
- 'smart watch,
- fitness tracker,
- virtual reality glasses,
- quadcopter with camera,
- eBook,
- high quality headphones,
- radio-controlled model of something, etc.

Bag or wallet
Many men like to do without bags, stuffing all the necessary little things into their pockets, but given that mobile phones are becoming more and more, and often you want to take a tablet or computer, a camera, a book and other things with you, a bag becomes necessary. A stylish leather shoulder bag or a trendy backpack can be a great gift for February 23rd.

Another good gift option is a wallet. I would venture to suggest: in 2018, your man probably despises small change, tries to reduce the number of cash bills and owns at least several credit, discount and other cards. Right? Perhaps it's time to replace his old wallet with a more modern one, for example, a flat wallet designed for a large number of cards.

Personal care products
If you are planning to give a man cosmetics, it must be something unusual! Do not be fooled by colorful packaging in supermarkets: more often than not, ordinary shampoos and shower gels of popular brands are put there, which, of course, will be useful on the farm, but are unlikely to give a feeling of a holiday. But you can pay attention to things like:
- quality classic shaving set,
- beard care kits,
- cosmetics for tattoo care,
- products for unusual types of hair styling (a la Elvis, for example),
- eau de toilette from his favorite men's brand.
An example of a great gift – a set of cosmetics for beard care and not only from Borodist
Impression
Things are things, but the most memorable gift is likely to be a trip or an adventure. Give your loved one new emotions, and he will have to break his head to surpass you with a gift for March 8!
On the Internet, you can find a lot of options for tickets and certificates on a variety of topics. If you do not like the prepared packages and want to show your individuality, then you can create a 'certificate' yourself on your computer, and simply book the required type of activity.
New experiences are the best gift of all time
Here are some of the adventures you can gift for February 23rd:
- quest is the most fashionable leisure activity for a group of friends,
- flight in a wind tunnel,
- karting,
- riding a quad bike,
- extreme driving training,
- shooting in the range,
- helicopter flight, etc.
Conclusion
The choice of a gift is, of course, an individual matter, and it is worth starting from the interests and tastes of a particular person. Nevertheless, it is often other people's ideas that push us to the right decision. We hope these tips will make preparing for February 23rd a little easier!
