We asked the men what gifts they especially remembered. Spoiler alert: no, this isn't shower gel or even a year's supply of socks.

Practical

It sounds boring, but actually useful gifts are cool. They do not lie on the shelf, they are not redirected at the first opportunity, but they use them with pleasure and remember you with a kind word. The main difficulty is to find out what exactly a person needs.

If this is a thing, then the main thing is that it is practically applicable, and not just a vase. Not many people give me gifts, but they know what I might need.

Knowledgeable people usually give me tools, and by surprise, they carefully find out what I don't have. Those who do not know what to give are presented with books on the development of intelligence.

If there are no ideas at all, gift certificates or money will help out. Well, yes, not very original, but the addressee will buy himself exactly what he wants.

Sergey Suyagin Creator.

A good gift is a useful one. Ideally - money, but for some reason it is considered indecent in our country. The main thing is that I apply it in my life.

The ones you use every day

Formally, both a mug with a funny inscription and a fountain pen in a gift box fall into this category. But it's better to look for something more interesting.

When I rented an apartment, I cooked my own food for a couple of years, and it was pretty good. At first I had a cast iron grill pan, and then the girl gave me an electric grill. As a result, I cooked only on it for a year.

If a man drives, a car multitool or a DVR will come in handy. A person who often travels on business - an external battery and a sleep mask so that he can have a normal rest on the plane.

Finally, there is a gift that will suit any man: a driver, an office worker, an athlete, and a music lover. A smartphone is useful to everyone, so you can't go wrong here.

We suggest paying attention to the HUAWEI P smart 2019 smartphone. The 6, 21-inch FHD + bezel-less screen is suitable for gaming and watching videos in high quality, and the dual camera with artificial intelligence takes clear pictures in a variety of conditions.

Suitable for interests

If a man has a hobby, the task becomes easier. Hobbies are a bottomless source of gift ideas. Just make an appointment with your friends in advance and share ideas, so as not to give the same thing.

Elya Akhmetshina Project manager.

My boyfriend loves all kinds of outdoor things: tents, folding chairs, and waterproof bags. He recently had a birthday. Friends found out from me in advance what he didn’t have yet, and gave me a walkie-talkie - he was delighted!

Those that you can't buy yourself

Simply because, in principle, I did not think about it. Or thought, but put it off until later.

Pavel Prokofiev Author.

I was given cotton pants once. I would never buy them myself, because until you have experienced their softness and lightness, fashion is more important to you. But these are clouds, not pants. Since then, this person has been giving me new pants for all the holidays. And I don't mind.

Impression gifts are also included in this category. You will definitely never buy them for yourself - usually you already find where to spend your money.

Sergey Bolisov Head of the Lifehacker Academy.

On New Year's, my wife gave me a recording of the song in the studio. It was unexpected - about the same as if she gave a flight into space.

It is very pleasant to receive such surprises - you immediately understand that the gift was chosen for a long time and with love, and did not grab at the last moment what was given in the store at a discount.

Galina Koretskaya Head of Key Accounts Department.

If there was no direct hint of what I would like, I make unusual and unexpected gifts. This will definitely be remembered, and all sorts of necessary things can be bought without a reason. Recent surprises: a yacht steering master class and a mini vacation. My boyfriend knew only the airport and the time when he needed to be there. Only at the scoreboard did he understand where we were flying.

How to choose a good gift

Look for clues

There is a chance that in a conversation a man will somehow mention what he dreams of. For example, if he complains that the smartphone is running on its last legs or is upset that the headphone wire has broken again, this is a hint that cannot be more transparent.

It's even easier with a hobby. If a man collects comics, stay tuned and feel free to donate them. He is fond of sports, which means that a certificate for a sports food store will come in handy.

Ask your friends

If you want to please a man with something unexpected - contact his friends. They probably know what he dreams of. If you are the same friends, but do not know what to give, the opposite rule works: ask your girlfriend or wife. At least this way you check your ideas so you don't accidentally buy the same thing.

Exchange wishlists

First, it's convenient. Your partner makes a wish list for the whole year at once, and you open it before each holiday and choose what to buy this time. And it's easier for you, and he doesn't have to rack his brains every time.

Secondly, there is intrigue to the last. If there is more than one item in the list, the addressee is unlikely to guess what exactly you will give him. The main thing is that in any case it will be a useful and desirable thing.

Surprise

If things don't go well with ideas for material gifts, give impressions. A walk with a digger along an underground river or a night trip to the planetarium will be more memorable than another set of shaving products.

Be sure to consider the interests and fears of the recipient. A parachute jump for a person who is afraid of heights will, of course, be an unexpected, but not particularly pleasant gift.

If you still do not know what to give, we have an option that suits all requirements. - a smartphone with a frameless screen and a dual camera with artificial intelligence.

The smartphone follows the trend towards minimalism in design: it is distinguished by a glossy back panel with a notch for a fingerprint sensor and a miniature "bangs" on the front side. The eight-core Kirin 710 processor is responsible for the performance, the GPU Turbo graphics processing technology allows you to play the latest games, and the eye protection mode reduces eye strain. This is a powerful and stylish smartphone with flagship features at a price of 14,770 rubles.
