More gift ideas for Defender of the Fatherland Day
Multitool
This multifunctional tool is a great thing, replacing a man with a whole set of tools, such as a screwdriver, pliers, side cutters, a knife, etc. Need to peel the pins or pull a nail out of the board? No problems. Need to open a bottle but don't have a corkscrew at hand? There is a multitool for this. Despite their compact size, multitools can hold up to 30 instruments. A small multitool can be carried in a pocket, a larger multitool can be stored in the glove compartment of a car or in a bag. An irreplaceable thing for cyclists, motorists, lovers of hiking and excursions into nature, as well as for "techies".
Fitness tracker
A good choice for active guys. Now the athlete will be able to track the heart rate during training, the distance traveled and the number of calories burned, monitor how long and how well he slept. He will also receive information about text messages and calls without interrupting the workout.
Mug with the heroes of "Star Wars"
There are a lot of Star Wars fans. And if your husband, son or relative adores the heroes of this franchise, they will surely appreciate a mug in the form of a helmet of Darth Vader, Boba Fett, an Imperial stormtrooper or R2-D2. They cost about 1,000 rubles in Russian online stores. According to some reviews, these mugs do not have very convenient removable lids (they are easy to move and break), so be careful.
As an add-on: a true fan of Darth Vader can get a Gillette Proshield Star Wars: Rogue One branded machine complete with a mug. This is the most advanced Gillette machine ever built. He uses the technology found inside the Jedi's lightsaber to achieve the smoothest and cleanest shave possible in this universe. You can purchase it on the Amazon Internet site.
Black leather belt
Black leather, silver or gold buckle, designer name. A classic that will never go out of style and will always be useful while men are wearing pants.
Classic high boots lined with fur
A practical and useful gift (assuming you know exactly the size of the person you are giving) to keep your feet warm during the winter. The sole should be rubber (polyurethane slips strongly and quickly "turns to stone") and have good grip so that the man does not slip during icy conditions. Leatherette boots are a good budget option, which has only one drawback: the legs “don't breathe” and sweat.
A more "advanced" option is breathable faux leather. And the most expensive, but also durable and pleasant for legs option is genuine leather (pork, calf, cow or bovine). It is better not to take shoes made of velor or suede if a man walks a lot. Otherwise, the gift will quickly lose its beautiful appearance.
Oh, girls, I myself suffered every time with the choice of a gift.
They say that women are capricious, but men are much more capricious :)
I solved my problem like this - I found several stores on the Internet where there are cool gifts, delivery, normal prices, and so on. In general, I picked up sites where you can confidently place an order and I will not be deceived.
Now when I need a gift, I go through my list, choose and buy a gift.
