Think back to stories, phrase it briefly, and printers will make T-shirts, mugs, and mouse pads.

Instructions for choosing gifts for a group of friends. Read our tips if you are invited to visit or gather friends at home.

There are many friends, but there is no time

If there is not much time left before the New Year, you do not have time to choose and buy a personal gift for each - you can order everyone a mug, but with different inscriptions, tea packaging, but with different wishes, a pillow with company photos from the first day of friendship until today.

Practical gifts can be useful not only all year round, but also at the holiday itself: give your girlfriends cozy sneakers-bunnies, girls usually take only high-heeled shoes with them to the holiday, and in the morning after the party you want to relax. After the New Year, you will need such a gift at home. But we do not recommend giving useless soft toys, even with the symbol of the year, only if they are interactive for friends' children.

Everyone will need a flash drive: it's better to pick up New Year's photos right away, and not wait for the owner of the camera to send them closer to May.

Another practical gift idea for a group of friends: touch gloves in winter are useful for anyone with a smartphone. Order each friend in your color. Or girls - red, boys - black.

A unique gift for each friend

This task requires more time to solve: it is necessary not only to choose gifts, but also to order each separately or to go and buy. And if there are 10-15 gifts, you will waste this precious New Year's time. Bonus - along with the gift, friends will have a feeling of care and attention.

How to choose different gifts quickly:

• open the section or ";
• decide on a budget;
• sort gifts by price;
• choose the right ones.

If you are in the company for the first time

The new lover invited you to celebrate the New Year with friends for the first time. From him you will learn that you need to make inexpensive gifts for everyone, but his imagination no longer works, because every year the same thing. It's good if you know how to bake or have a signature dish.

Olya did not know the friends of her new boyfriend at all, they chose not very successful gifts, Petya did not have time to think about it, Olya had to buy at random. But she baked and brought with her a wonderful "hangover cake" with liqueur "Baileys", on January 1 it was very useful. Friends approved not only Olin cake, but also Petin's choice.

If cooking isn't your forte, read our quick tips for choosing gifts for an unfamiliar company:

No need

Before choosing a present, you should remember the preferences and hobbies of loved ones. Very often friends forget about useful little things that can simplify life:

1. The original calendar for the next year: in the form of matches, a lawn, a balloon, bubble wrap or a shredder that destroys one page every day. On sale you can find a calendar with erasable panels, behind which are hiding jokes, tips, funny pictures, riddles and puzzles.
2. Anti stress toy: pillow, tumbler, pen, ball, flavored gum, cubes, coloring.
3. Creative mug. There are models on sale that can independently mix components that change color, pattern, inscription, when the cup is empty or filled with a drink. There are angel and devil mugs (for good and bad mood), as well as with a "pocket" for a tea bag.
4. Computer accessories: mouse with an unusual design, flash drive, headset.
   T-shirt with an original print or lettering. You can put into it a special meaning that is understandable only to two people or a small company.

Thinking about what to give your friends for the New Year, you can pay attention to key rings. This is an inexpensive but very necessary present. There are models of bauble-piggy banks, pens, accessories with natural stones, multitool, manicure set, bottle openers.

When choosing a gift for a friend, one should start not from the pricing policy, but from his personal preferences and hobbies.

In fact, there are a lot of options. Even a simple and uncomplicated present can be wrapped in a beautiful wrapper, come up with an unusual story for it and hand it under the explosion of firecrackers and the glow of sparklers. After all, the main thing is an emotional message, a positive attitude and sincere concern for a dear person.

New Year is a special holiday for each of us. On this day, the unity with dear people - family and friends is especially strong. And in order to cheer everyone up, it is imperative to choose good New Year's gifts. And we will try to help with this and offer advice on what you can give your friend for the New Year - a list of ideas and recommendations. With them, the search for a presentation will be easier and more enjoyable.

Things to consider when choosing a gift, a list of bad present ideas

At first glance, choosing a gift for a good friend is not difficult - after all, all his interests and preferences are known. But you should not relax, it is better not so much to remember in advance about the hobbies of a friend, but to think over other points such as:

• Acceptable cost of the presentation. Gifts that are too expensive, even between close friends, are not a good idea. Even if you can afford a lot, you shouldn't put your friend in an awkward position, especially if they can't respond with the same luxurious gift. It is better to give something inexpensive, but pleasant and sincere.
• A friend's field of activity. Gifts that are useful at work are also a very good idea.
• The marital status of a friend. If a friend has a family, you can make souvenirs for them too. And if this is a gift to a married male friend from a girl, consider the possible reaction of his other half.

Going in search of a presentation, in advance exclude options that do not suit you in any case:

• Money. This is not a gift - it is financial assistance that can simply offend a person if not asked for.
• Useless trinkets and travel souvenirs. Think - where will a friend go to all this "wealth"? Throwing away is ugly, and there is usually nowhere to store them, so do not create problems for your friend.
• Gift sets that are sold in stores. Such a present will directly tell the person that you did not bother yourself with the search, and this is insulting. Even if time is sorely lacking, it is better to bring just champagne or assemble a set yourself.

Try to make your gift as individual as possible, chosen taking into account all the wishes and preferences of a friend. Don't forget the postcard as well. You can write comic congratulations and wishes on it, or just something kind.

List of ideas for original gifts for a friend for the New Year

If your friend is a real original and loves unusual things, it is advisable to find something appropriate as a gift. Good examples of such presentations:

• Unusual T-shirt. Good companions are usually aware of each other's interests and tastes, and they also know many secrets. Choose a print that accurately reflects the recipient's mood or personality. For a 100% hit, you can order a T-shirt with an author's pattern.
• A site with your shared photos collected over the past year. These can be photos from parties, walks, general adventures. It will be nice to review them and remember interesting moments.
• Desktop fountain or waterfall. If a friend works a lot and gets tired physically and mentally, then a relaxing murmur will help him to relax and put his nerves in order.
• Money box who "swallows" or otherwise picks up coins, making funny or scary sounds.
• Book box, in which you can hide a stash or bottle of alcohol.
• Cool alarm clock. It can run away, fly away, require some kind of active action to turn it off, or simply be huge and make terrible sounds. Such a present will come in handy for Sonya, who is often late for work or school, and for meetings with comrades.
• Beer mug, allowing to raise an appetizing foam if it has dropped. This is a great gift for a lover of a fresh and aromatic drink.
• Funny covers for documents. The set also includes a case for a gadget.
• Virtual reality glasses. This is a great gift for a modern technology lover.
• Drunken or dancing piles. If a friend sometimes drinks alcohol and treats his comrades, then such a present will definitely come in handy for him.

List of ideas for interesting and useful gifts for a friend for the New Year

As you know, most men prefer useful gifts, so it's a good idea to combine utility and originality. Good ideas for these presentations:

• Table for a laptop in the bathroom. He will help a friend take a bath and watch his favorite movie at the same time.
• A coughing ashtray or a fancy lighter with engraving will please a smoking friend.

• Cool car smartphone stand. She will free her hands and decorate the car interior.
• Massage cover for the driver's seat. It will come in handy for a man who spends a lot of time behind the wheel.

Choose how to please your dear friend this New Year. Do not forget about presenting as well. It must be beautifully packaged and signed. The gift can be hidden under the Christmas tree or handed over from hand to hand. But it will be much more interesting to arrange a competition for friends or change into New Year's characters and demand rhymes from everyone. Joke, have fun and make each other happy, celebrate the holiday cheerfully, and the whole next year will be just as easy.

Let it be small, cute and original do-it-yourself trifles, which will delight more purchased and unnecessary junk, or pre-planned pleasant surprises. Ideas for New Year's gifts need to be thought out in advance so as not to become the subject of jokes in the company of friends who, by inertia, have acquired the same.

In order for everything to continue to be good in relations with friends in the New Year, for the New Year 2019 you need to move away from traditional sets of cosmetics and socks, donated candy boxes and New Year's symbols, which then gather dust among unnecessary things. Gifts for friends - small and huge, cute and derisive, original and completely insane - need to be thought out in advance so that last-minute ideas do not become a reason for offense or turn out to be a waste of money.

Gifts made with your own hands, or bought for a specific person, with a hint of his addictions and hobbies, even if they cost mere pennies, will bring much more pleasure. Well, for those who, by their nature, are not able to appreciate such signs of attention, you can really buy something very useful and necessary in the store.

• Inexpensive gifts
• Dear gifts for friends
• Symbolic and mini-gifts
• Top best gifts for friends

DIY original gifts

A hand-made product is very pleasant to give, it is no less pleasant to receive as a gift, and it is especially interesting to fantasize and tinker. New Year's Eve happens once a year, and giving snowmen and Christmas balls, which will sadly stand on the shelf with souvenirs, is reluctant and somehow too trivial. But, choosing gifts for friends for the New Year, you can stylize simple things under the New Year's theme, so that on December 31 they will deliver pleasant minutes, and then be used with benefit.

Even simple sweets and drinks can be arranged in a similar way:

From a bottle of champagne, make a beautiful Christmas tree with sweets (glue it over with sprigs of pine needles or fancy cut paper);
make Rudolph's reindeer (the main reindeer of Santa Claus) from a beer hall using wire, ribbons, colored braid, superglue and paper;
make an original candy bouquet from candies and Christmas tree paws, which can be supplemented with various New Year's accessories;
from three beautiful glass jars with lids, glue a New Year's snowman with sweets, dressing him in an original way, and come up with a hat that will close the top lid:
trim the potholder purchased as a gift with beads and rain and fill with sweets;
a simple jar of jam, homemade or purchased, can be equipped with a tag with New Year's wishes, a corrugated cap made of colored paper, colored braid or a small toy made with your own hands (the same jar can be presented with honey);
Santa Claus sleds from a box of chocolates and runners made of colored wire, decorated with New Year's tinsel, or a thick cardboard with wooden runners, on which shiny candies are stacked in a pyramid, fastened together.

Important! Of course, from what to give friends for the New Year 2019, all these things can be simply handed over without any ceremony, and at the same time say something ordinary, like "Happy New Year."

When deciding what to give friends for the New Year, you need to remember that beautiful packaging for any gift is not only an additional decoration, but also another sign of attention. This is a means to show the person that the gift has been pondered and decorated with sincere feelings, and not just grabbed into a food basket at the last minute.

Inexpensive gifts

If sweets and drinks are not included in the amount calculated for a present, do-it-yourself gifts for friends for the New Year are the best way out. You can give a beautiful trinket for which much less money is spent. The uniqueness and originality of a gift can be given by working a little on it:

Decorate a banal photo frame with a Christmas tree branch, a ball, cones or rain;
make a snow globe from a simple glass jar with a lid by placing a figurine on the bottom, pouring small sparkles there and pouring water;
sew a funny snowman from a new white sock and semolina;
glue and sign a New Year's author's postcard (you can use illustrated magazines, last year's New Year's cards, photographs, written-in stickers, and everything that only has enough imagination;
bake a pig from a simple puff pastry - a symbol of the coming year, decorate it with gouache, and ennoble it with beads, tinsel, beads or confetti;
make an impromptu flavoring agent from cones, dry lavender, Christmas tree paws, cinnamon sticks and everything that is natural and fragrant at hand (this can be hung on a Christmas tree, or used to flavor the air by hanging it in the bedroom or above your desk);
even a simple soap can be put in a shiny New Year's box made of cardboard and pasted over with multi-colored foil, and the gift will turn out to be much more valuable than the most expensive perfume set.

Advice! When making New Year's gifts for friends, you can use the simplest tools at hand, for example, rice painted with paint for drawing, old beads and buttons, seashells, food foil and candy wrappers.

The main thing is fantasy and love, with which a person decides what to give friends for the New Year, uses worthless nonsense, his own time and a good attitude. If you want to make a gift to an old and good friend, you can always take joint photos in funny or memorable moments of your life. They can be placed in an already painted frame, in a glass globe or on a chest in which they will lie, and it will be immediately clear with what love the gift for the best friend was chosen for the New Year.

Dear gifts for friends

If your financial condition allows, and you have a long and wonderful relationship with your best friend, you can demonstrate your affection and your feelings for him with significant spending. The main thing when choosing what to give a friend for the New Year, if you want to buy something weighty and meaningful, is to take into account his preferences, hobbies, preferences, or an urgent need for a purchased item. You can give a man a tablet, good leather gloves or a purse, an exquisite business card holder, or something related to his occupation or favorite hobby.

If the best friend is a woman, then the choice is much wider. Favorite good perfume, jewelry, a set of kitchen utensils from a famous manufacturer, a dishwasher and even a new car. Of the expensive things, the choice of what can be presented to a friend for the New Year is not limited: from a bouquet of unearthly beauty to a trip to the Maldives, a certificate to a spa salon, tickets for a concert of a visiting celebrity that cannot be obtained.

Note! Before spending a significant amount, you can unobtrusively ask about the desired items, or ask people close to a friend if he has expressed any wishes about things that he likes or needs, but cannot afford at the moment.

Symbolic and mini-gifts

Many people have to congratulate on the New Year, not all of whom are friends. There are colleagues at work, people with whom the necessary business contacts are maintained, those who will celebrate the holiday in the company, but do not belong to relatives, because they are invited by some of the guests.

For such cases, there are mini-gifts that do not have a specific addressee, gender, and are quite inexpensive. These are simple items that can be purchased at your local store and are regarded as courtesies from a considerate person. These things usually include:

New Year's sets of perfumery, collected in the store and tied with a ribbon;
handles with original design;
cute cups with saucers, spoons, or teapot cups;
a set of inexpensive glasses;
napkin holder with napkins;
potholders or towels;
stress toys or massagers;
champagne or chocolate bar;
Handmade soap;
diaries;
original computer mice or mats for them;
calendars for use in the new year;
photo frames and so on.

Such gifts are given every year in large numbers, and if you want variety, then the cups can be with images of pigs, just like calendars, you can purchase the same themed key rings or New Year's soft toys. A good idea in such cases is a box of New Year's, inexpensive chocolates, or a bottle of quality booze. You can also give tea or coffee in a beautiful package, but these are things in which people have their own preferences, and it is difficult to guess with this.

For reference! For those who smoke, you can always give an original ashtray, lighter or cigarette case. And if this is a close person who wants to give up a bad habit - an electronic cigarette.

Unusual and original gifts

The scope of imagination for those who like to surprise is unlimited. More recently, baskets and parcels sent by courier or by mail have become fashionable. To especially surprise an adult, you can send Santa Claus or Snow Maiden to him with a gift.

The basket can be filled with a set for mulled wine, candies and citrus fruits, New Year's delicacies, fresh flowers and New Year's gingerbread cookies baked with your own hands. There are ready-made items that are especially pleasant to receive on New Year's Eve - aprons with a New Year's theme, animal hats, illuminated whiskey glasses, chocolate weapons or non-spillable thermo mugs. From the novelties of this year, you can buy for a gift:

Scooter suitcase;
a set for kebab lovers;
a soft toy for secrets and stash (this year - a pig);
bath set;
a blanket with sleeves for those who are always cold.

Interesting: In special stores selling unusual and cool things for life hacks, you can see completely unexpected solutions to everyday problems that will amuse any company, but will become a favorite and necessary item. Funny and cool gifts are difficult to recommend, but when you see some products in such stores, certain people immediately come to mind.
