What to give for the New Year 2018: ideas and workshops

Preparing for the New Year is a very exciting process. After all, you need to make a festive menu, decorate the room and choose the best outfit. In addition, special attention should be paid to the choice of gifts for family and friends, colleagues. This is quite difficult, because you always want to please and present exactly what each of them dreams of. Therefore, we have prepared quite a lot of different ideas, among which you can definitely find suitable options.

Gifts for beloved parents

It is for parents that gifts should be selected especially carefully. After all, these people are always good to you and take every decision with respect. Therefore, try to pick up something special that will correspond to the hobbies or desires of each of them.

If your mother loves to take care of herself, then buy for her a beautiful, expensive line of skin care products. Also pay attention to her hobbies. For example, if she loves to cook sweets, then perhaps unusual shapes or coasters will become a real find for her. Those who like to draw will definitely like beautiful canvases, brushes or an invitation to a painting workshop.

Choosing a gift for the father follows the same principle. If you wish, you can present him a beautiful warm scarf. You can also give the gadgets that he dreamed about. If your dad just can’t imagine himself without fishing, then pay attention to suitable equipment.

New Year's gifts for spouses

A gift for your beloved husband must be the best. Of course, you can buy for him a beautiful scarf, expensive cufflinks or a thermo mug. But still we offer to focus not on the practical side of gifts. Try to remember what he dreams about.

Many men are crazy about music or games. In this case, you can purchase high-quality headphones or a prefix. If he dreams of traveling, then he will definitely like various tourist products. For example, a suitcase, a traveler’s card on the wall, a thematic organizer or a passport cover.

You can also fulfill his desire by presenting an appropriate certificate. It can be a parachute jump, helicopter flight, vocals lesson and much more. Just remember what he very often talks about and ideas will come to your mind one after another.

The process of choosing a gift for the wife will be no less complicated. But it’s worth it, it’s very nice to see the delight in the eyes of the woman you love. To begin with, we note that in no case should you buy ready-made shower sets and kitchen utensils. Nobody will definitely appreciate this, so try to show originality.

Pay attention to jewelry. Beautiful earrings, a pendant, a Tiffany ring or Pandora charms are what many dream of. But take care of purchasing such products in advance, as it will be difficult to order them on New Year's Eve.

Luxurious lace underwear, an exquisite dress from a famous designer or a clutch are the most anticipated gifts of 2018. Therefore, if there is a financial opportunity, be sure to please your spouse.

Cosmetics and perfumes should be chosen only if you know the specific name of what your wife wants. Otherwise, there is a risk of making a mistake with a shade or aroma. Therefore, if in doubt, it is better not to take risks and purchase a certificate of purchase in a good cosmetic store or in a beauty salon.

Gifts for children for the New Year 2018

When choosing a gift for children, first of all, you should focus on the age and gender of the child. The smallest will be happy with beautiful dolls and cars.At the same time, children under ten years old will appreciate various board games, a selection of sweets or hobby items.

Gifts for teens should choose completely different. The girl will like a beautiful holiday dress or jewelry. A boy can be pleased with a soccer ball if he is interested in this sport. Various gadgets, such as a phone, player or camera, are suitable not only for the boy, but also for the girl.

New Year's gifts for colleagues

As a presentation for colleagues, we recommend choosing something that can be used in the future. It can be a beautiful diary or glider, as well as a stylish pen or card holder. This gift will appeal to every office worker.

If desired, you can make more themed presentations. For example, a set of muffins or gingerbread cookies will be definitely appreciated by everyone. After all, they are not only beautiful, but also incredibly tasty.

Neutral gifts

Of course, there are times when you need to present a gift to a person not too familiar to you. At such moments, you should not try to find out what a person dreams of. It will be enough to purchase one of the neutral gifts, which in general are suitable for everyone.

First of all, these are various products for home comfort. For example, soft cozy rugs, a thematic pillow, photo frame or even a beautiful toy for a handmade Christmas tree. It can also be products in the form of symbols of the year - a yellow dog. An excellent option would be a beautiful felt keychain.

DIY New Year 2018 Gifts

Every year, the popularity of handmade products is growing rapidly. This is not surprising, because when creating you can take into account absolutely all the wishes and do something truly unique, interesting. This is especially true in the New Year period.

Holiday card

Absolutely everyone can make a beautiful holiday card. After all, it will take very little time.

For work, we need:

• thick two-color cardboard;
• paper with a New Year's motive;
• ribbon;
• beads of different diameters;
• scissors;
• pencil;
• glue in the gun;
• Double-sided tape.

To start, we create the basis for the postcard. To do this, bend the cardboard in half and give it a square shape, cutting off the excess. Using double-sided tape, glue the paper-cut parts. At this stage, it's time to show your imagination.

We mark with a pencil the place where the Christmas tree will be located and glue the beads one by one, as shown in the photo.

We make a small incision on the card and thread the tape into it. We tie a beautiful bow.

This card is perfect as a complement to the gift.

Original bottle of wine

Surely you know that wine is considered one of the best gifts for couples. Especially if it is quite expensive and fully consistent with their taste. But still, such a gift may seem trite, so we suggest transforming it a bit.

To do this, prepare:

• wine;
• white and red acrylic paint;
• alcohol;
• polymer clay in black and orange;
• scissors;
• acrylic primer;
• cotton pad;
• black felt;
• material with a New Year's motive;
• Red ribbon;
• New Year's decor;
• gloves
• glue;
• scissors.

We clear the bottle of the labels and wipe it with alcohol.

We put on gloves and cover the bottle of wine with acrylic primer.

Draw or print details for the hat.

We transfer them to black felt, and then cut it out.

We glue the parts together.

Apply acrylic paint to the bottle and leave to dry.

We make details from polymer clay, as shown in the photo.

We put a hat on the bottle and glue the prepared parts.

We decorate the resulting snowman with a scarf and New Year's decor.

Among the whole variety of gifts, you will definitely find the perfect options for your loved ones. In fact, it is not as difficult as it might seem.
