1. Jewelry


New Year is a favorite holiday for Russians not only because of the long weekend, but also because of childhood memories. This night was always mysterious and magical, because when you woke up in the morning, you could find a treasured gift under the tree. Childhood is over, and the New Year is still associated with miracles, so on this day you want to make the best surprises for your family and friends.

TOP 5: most popular gifts

Based on surveys of people of different age categories and social backgrounds, statistics were compiled on the most common gifts that are usually given for the New Year 2020. The top five were:


These New Year's gifts are in the TOP 5 most popular statistics because they are universal. That is, you can prepare several similar gifts, put them in a bag and send them to friends and acquaintances. Also, such a reserve will help you avoid getting into trouble if you are suddenly congratulated by a person from whom you did not expect a gift. You can take out one of the prepared souvenirs and give him a return gift.

The most desired gifts

Unfortunately, the list of gifts that people usually give each other is noticeably different from the list of what everyone would like to receive on New Year 2020. And it is as follows:


Gifts for loved ones

In addition to the above options for New Year's gifts, there are many more ideas. We specify them and classify them into categories to make it easier to choose.

Parents

When children just start earning money, they try to give their parents pleasant surprises, and not only on holidays. As a New Year's gift for 2020, you can present to mom and dad:


Parents should not give blood pressure, blood glucose, or other medical devices as gifts for the New Year. Save them for other holidays, and on a magical night, please mom and dad with something pleasant.

For children

Everything is simple here. Kids will be happy with any toy:

  • soft;
  • radio controlled;
  • to the designer;
  • doll, etc.

The choice depends on the age of the son or daughter and the preferences of the child.

Suitable for older children:

  • mobile phone;
  • player;
  • camera;
  • creative table lamp;
  • original alarm clock;
  • skates, etc.

- see in a separate review.

Guy

Girls are always very attentive to their boyfriends, so they prepare in advance for choosing a gift. They “test the waters” long before the New Year: they ask the young man what he dreams about, observe what he lacks, etc. If you have no idea at all, then you can give the guy:


Any man is pleased to receive a gift from a girl that she made with her own hands. You can knit the same sweater, sew a cozy pillow for your car, or paint a photo frame.

To the girl

The fair half of humanity can be very picky about gifts, so men should choose them with special care.


Colleagues

It’s not worth giving each of your colleagues something expensive and significant. This will oblige people to make a reciprocal gesture. Therefore, it is better to choose some cute little things, preferably monotonous, so as not to single out one of your colleagues. These could just be universal gifts:

The gift to the boss should be more significant, and it is better if it is collective, from all employees. The bosses are usually given expensive pens, collectible alcohol, leather folders for papers...

Friends


Gifts for friends and colleagues

Also added to the list:

  • a Monopoly game based on your city;
  • game "Twister";
  • puzzles with a large number of elements;
  • plaid;
  • elegant New Year's tablecloth;
  • a set of salt or pepper shakers;
  • some household appliances (toaster, coffee maker, mixer...).

Where to buy gifts?

Pre-New Year shopping is a mini-holiday in itself. The bustle, shimmering garlands in shop windows and decorated Christmas trees in the halls of shopping centers - all this unusually lifts your spirits. Therefore, many people prefer to purchase gifts in the last 2-3 days before the New Year 2020. But this is impractical, because prices at this time are inflated to the maximum. Shopping in advance (at least a week or two in advance) will allow you to save money.

There is another option: ordering New Year's gifts online. This will allow you to distinguish yourself at any holiday, because on the vastness of the World Wide Web you can find original and unusual things. You should order your purchases a month before the New Year, because... Unforeseen force majeure and the failure of a gift to arrive on time can ruin the entire New Year's mood.

    Sveta

    I always prepare for the New Year in advance, I like to give gifts made with my own hands. I usually knit something, sew toys and pillows with the symbol of the New Year, decoupage champagne bottles or New Year’s topiaries.

    Olga

    I really like custom, handmade gifts. Last New Year, I knitted socks for my husband, and he built me ​​a shelf for flowers - such gifts are one of a kind!

    Julia

    I gave my grandmother a homemade waterfall made of artificial flowers) this is when flowers seem to fall from a tea mug to another tea mug (from the same set), and there are ladybugs and butterflies on the flowers. It turned out very beautifully and grandma is happy)))

    Maria

    Most often I get souvenirs, New Year's toys, cosmetics or household items for the New Year.

    Dmitry Levdansky

    I gave my wife rings, earrings, pendants and other jewelry, perfume and underwear. But this is not the same. A gift to a loved one should be from the heart! It should evoke impressions and emotions. There must be a spiritual impulse! Therefore, my best gift was: dinner for two (prepared by me, by the way, and designer plush toys vk.com/lubozveri_shop) In second place is a bouquet of sweets. I don't give clothes, it's stupid. Cinema and theater tickets are commonplace.

    Evgeniy

    A PhotoMosaic will be a magnificent and shocking gift! PhotoMosaic is a portrait consisting of hundreds of small photographs. Up close, you can easily examine each photograph, but if you take a step back, you will immediately see how they come together into a single picture.

Let someone lazy say that attention is more important than a gift, but on New Year’s Eve everyone is looking forward to the surprise under the Christmas tree. And it doesn’t matter that your husband is a respectable business man, your friend runs her own company, and your mother’s life experience is enough for three more - for a second we all turn into happy children, receiving a New Year’s gift. Therefore, try to please your loved ones with something unusual.

The pig is a symbol of luxury and wealth. She loves everything that is practical, expensive, beautiful and brings joy. It is not necessary to spend your last money on an expensive gift; it is enough that it is useful and of high quality.

New Year gift ideas for father, father-in-law

Older men appreciate practical gifts that reflect their status. So the question is what to give your father for New Year 2020 has the only correct answer - something that will emphasize his status as the head of the family, a successful employee or boss.

New Year gift ideas for male colleagues

Usually in a team it is customary to make small gifts, no matter how closely you communicate with the person. And if it’s easier for a good friend to choose a gift based on his interests and hobbies, then the task what to give to colleagues for New Year 2020 sometimes it seems overwhelming.

What to give to loved ones for New Year 2020

The next stage is to prepare pleasant surprises for family members. You may not see some of them on New Year's Eve, but that's no reason to get by with a box of chocolates. Take our ideas and surprise your loved ones.

What is unusual to please the most needed people in the world? The cost of the gift, and often its practical value, is not at all important to them. With age comes awareness of moral values, therefore, when deciding what to give your family for New Year 2020, try to move away from a gift-thing in the usual sense. The following gifts are much better suited.

Gift ideas for mom and dad


photo albums with photos that are not in the family archive;
collection of favorite films;
a board game for a large number of players that will bring the whole family together for one activity;
tickets to a movie, concert, circus or dolphinarium;
drive.

Of course, you can present household appliances, household items, and personal care products - but they will not replace real emotions. Therefore, it would be ideal to give the parents a joint emotional gift, and then please each one separately with a more “down-to-earth” surprise.

For example, to understand what to give your mother for New Year 2020, carefully find out what cosmetics she needs or what household appliances she has been dreaming of for several years. Act smart: start this conversation a couple of months before the holiday so that she doesn’t guess anything.

Gift ideas for sister

If you can give your brother any item from our list of gifts for your husband, then the question is what to give your sister for New Year 2020 at the same time necessary, beautiful and original often leads to a dead end. Especially if you have had your own families for a long time, but your interests do not intersect much.

To avoid getting into trouble, bet on “eternal values”:


Jewelry;
household appliances;
certificates for home goods stores;
certificates for lingerie, clothing or cosmetics stores.

Gift ideas for grandmother, mother-in-law

For distant relatives, save not so much gifts as attention. You are bound by family ties, not interests or hobbies, so don’t try to guess with some narrowly focused gift. How can you find out what to give your mother-in-law for New Year 2020, if you communicate with her only occasionally? Or what to give to your grandmother?

For such delicate cases, it is better to choose universal “female” gifts:


for kitchen: napkin holder, multi-tiered stand for candies and fruits, a set of containers for bulk products, original potholders;
self care: shower gel, gift soap, universal creams;
beautiful textiles: towel, blanket, bed linen, tablecloth;
fresh flowers in pots;
panels, paintings, embroidery.

Gift ideas for friends

Since you know these people from “A” to “Z”, problems like panic what to give friends for New Year 2020 there shouldn't be. Remember their hobbies, casually dropped phrases, dreams and give them an awesome gift. And if finances do not allow you to implement too bold ideas, you can get by with a cool surprise.

Here is a list of answers to the question of what to give a friend for New Year 2020:


anti-stress coloring book;
a pendant with an image of a zodiac sign or a beautiful pendant;
sweet gifts: bouquet of sweets, personalized chocolate, gingerbread house;
subscription to a beauty salon;
costume jewelry;
everything that will help you survive the cold: soft pajamas, a thermal mug, a blanket, a fur hat, cool mittens.

And finally, a small list of unwanted gifts:

figurines of angels, zodiac signs, etc.;
watch;
knives;
perfume (if you don’t know the recipient’s tastes 100%);
money;
clothes (suitable only as a gift for those closest to you);
gifts hinting at a person’s health or financial situation;
any items of poor quality purchased at a discount.

Try to give fewer banal gifts, unnecessary and impractical things, meaningless figurines and piggy banks. Spare no money, time and effort to please your loved ones with pleasant surprises for the New Year 2020. But don’t forget – the best gift will be your attention, care and love.

And if you want to give a piece of warmth, then what could be better than a large, warm scarf, for example this one, or this one? Just maybe a cozy blanket cape.

A warm microplush blanket can be given to a person of any age and gender. One will find it more comfortable and warmer to play on a tablet, another will knit socks for his beloved grandchildren.

2. Animal hat for those who love animals


Animal hat "Husky"

This hat is made of faux fur, although you can't tell by looking at it. A great gift for a girl who is crazy about huskies and all cats and dogs in general. It warms not only your head, but also your hands.

3. 3D lamps “imprinted” into the wall


3D Iron Man lamp

These lamps seemed to crash into the wall and break through it. Moreover, some of them, like a soccer ball or Thor's hammer, crashed inside the room, while others - the Iron Man mask, the Hulk's fist or the front part of a yellow car - were clearly outside.

A wall sticker imitating cracks is sold along with the lamp. A great gift for a child, or for a family with children, or for adults who like superheroes and unusual lamps.


4. Wireless mouse in the shape of a silver BMW i8


If your boyfriend or girlfriend is crazy about this car, a wireless mouse in the shape of your favorite model will be an excellent reminder of it and a visualization for making your wishes come true.

You definitely can’t do without a cool speech before handing over such a machine.

5. Aprons with a New Year's theme


If the person to whom the gift is intended often cooks and loves this activity, you can give an apron with a New Year's theme - Santa Claus and the more than erotic Snow Maiden.

The main thing is that it doesn’t look like a hint that it’s time to go to the stove.

6. Arctic Force Snow Blaster


One could say that this is a gift for children, but playing snowballs is fun for all ages, which can be played with equal pleasure and excitement at 10, 20, and 30 years old.

The Snow Blaster makes perfectly shaped snowballs that no longer need to be sculpted, and launches them using the conventional slingshot method.

Arm a company of at least three people with these, and the New Year will be very active and fun.

7. Gift baskets and parcels


In these baskets and parcels you won’t find banal “Raphaels” and bottles of champagne - everything here is real, in the literal sense of the word.

If there are chocolates, then they are made with honey and natural ingredients. If there are tea infusions, then they are real, with taiga herbs that give vigor and strength.

Moreover, in different parcels and baskets there are different gifts: there may be venison chips, stew, jam, and “the biggest candy of success.”

It's all coolly decorated, without vulgar colorful pictures, mostly using brown wrapping paper.

In today's gift industry, which is choked with bright colors and artificial products, such gift baskets are perceived as really cool.

8. Whiskey stones in gift wrapping


I think now there is no need to explain to anyone what whiskey stones are. The most important thing about these Schotland gift stones is the classy gift packaging, which makes them look truly elite.

9. Whiskey stones in different packaging


Another whiskey stones, this time gray and in gray packaging. Nine smooth stone cubes are held in a well-designed box with magnets.

10. Illuminated whiskey glass


These glasses light up at the touch of your hand and glow in different colors. It looks very festive and eliminates annoying confusion like: “Where is my glass?”, “Is this really my glass?”

You will recognize your glass by the color of the backlight - both in the light and in the dark.

11. Non-spillable thermal mugs No. 1


Thanks to a special system, car thermal mugs will never spill their contents on you. Mugs from the Contigo brand maintain the desired temperature of the drink for up to five hours and delight with a stylish design. A great gift for those who are often on the go.

12.


This gun and bullet are very similar to the real thing, but made from delicious natural chocolate. If your friend or relative is crazy about guns, why not give them an “endorphin boost.”

13. Toolbox


It will be fun to give a girl or guy who has never held anything heavier than a computer mouse in his hands an adjustable wrench, a hook, a gear and pliers.

The main thing is that this person loves chocolate, because all the instruments are made from it, although they look exactly like the real thing. And that moment when your loved one has not yet understood what’s what is priceless.

14. Down slippers


If you know that your friends or family have cold floors in their apartment, give them super warm slippers filled with down and feathers. Again, a universal gift for any age.

15. Suitcase-scooter for creative travelers


Ride like a breeze through the city streets to the airport or train station, ride a scooter around the waiting room, catching the envious glances of children - the scooter suitcase easily unfolds and provides a fun time during the moving process. A cool gift for those who are always on the go.

16. Custard cup with an unusual bottom


The “double” bottom of this cup makes it easy to brew loose leaf tea and drink it without straining. When you need to brew tea, tea leaves are poured into a smaller container, and boiling water is poured into a larger water container, after which the cup is rolled over to one side.

When the tea has brewed sufficiently, you can turn the cup over to the other side of the bottom and drink the tea slowly without becoming too strong. An original gift for connoisseurs of loose leaf tea.

17. Serious reward for merit

The Oscar statuette, a copy of one of the oldest and most famous film awards, simply cannot be awarded without a solemn speech.

Moreover, you can come up with a variety of merits - from real achievements to ridiculous assigned statuses.

18.


A simple soft toy will only please a child or a soft toy collector. But such a bear with a secret inside will be an excellent gift for any friend.
