More gift ideas for Defender of the Fatherland Day

This multifunctional tool is a great thing that replaces a man with a whole set of tools, such as a screwdriver, pliers, side cutters, a knife, etc. Need to clean contacts or remove a nail from a board? No problem. 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 tools. A small multitool can be carried in your pocket; a larger multitool can be stored in the glove compartment of a car or in a bag. An indispensable thing for cyclists, motorists, lovers of hiking and outdoor activities, as well as for “techies”.

A good choice for active guys. Now the athlete will be able to track his heart rate during training, the distance traveled and the number of calories burned, and monitor how long and how well he slept. He will also receive information about text messages and calls without interrupting his workout.

There are a lot of Star Wars fans. And if your husband, son or relative loves the heroes of this franchise, then he will certainly appreciate a mug in the shape of the helmet of Darth Vader, Boba Fett, an imperial stormtrooper or R2-D2. They cost about 1000 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 addition: a true fan of Darth Vader can be given a Gillette Proshield Star Wars: Rogue One branded machine along with a mug. This is the most advanced Gillette machine ever created. He uses the technology found inside a Jedi's lightsaber to achieve the closest, cleanest shave possible in this universe. You can purchase it on the Amazon online platform.

Black leather, silver or gold buckle, designer name. A classic that will never go out of style and will always be useful as long as men wear pants.

A practical and useful gift (provided you know exactly the size of the recipient’s feet) that will keep your feet warm during the winter. The sole should be rubber (polyurethane slips a lot and quickly turns to stone) and have good grip on the road so that the man does not slip during icy conditions. Leatherette boots are a good budget option, which has only one drawback: your feet “don’t breathe” and sweat.

A more “advanced” option is breathable faux eco-leather. And the most expensive, but also durable and comfortable option for the feet is genuine leather (pork, calf, cow or bovine). It is better not to take boots made of velor or suede if a man walks a lot. Otherwise, the gift will quickly lose its beautiful appearance.

Ladies, there is very little time left until February 23rd and it’s time to actively start preparing for this holiday. Every year we girls face complex issue“How to please and surprise your loved one?” I don’t know how it is for anyone, but I immediately start going through what he has run out of or is running out of: razor blades, shaving gel, perfume, something for the car, and so on. But then it turns out that the simplest and most obvious gifts were blacklisted by men. I present to your attention the TOP 8 worst gifts for February 23, compiled based on a survey of representatives of the stronger half of humanity.

1. Hygiene products

Shower gel takes honorable first place in the ranking of the worst gifts on February 23rd. A man can buy this hygiene product for himself. In second place is shampoo, especially if it is for dandruff. Any hint that you need to wash, shave, etc. is perceived negatively.

2. Unnecessary things

A gift from the series “On you, God, what is not good for us” always upsets the recipient and spoils the image of the giver. Such gifts include broken items (be sure to check everything before giving), a gift with a logo, obviously free or received at some kind of drawing.

3. Alcohol and tobacco

Oddly enough, men do not like gifts related to alcohol or smoking. By handing over a lighter, ashtray or bottle of alcohol, the giver is hinting at bad habits, which may be misinterpreted.

4. Feminine gifts

Even if a man likes to spend his leisure time preparing a new dish in the kitchen, this does not mean that on February 23 he is expecting something like an exclusive pepper shaker or gravy boat as a gift. This also includes sweets, flowers, various certificates for beauty salons.

5. “Troublesome” gifts

It’s not very pleasant to receive as a gift something that will bring unnecessary trouble, even despite its cost. For example, a car wash for a person whose garage does not have water supply or drainage. To take advantage of this gift, you will have to work hard. A dubious pleasure, isn't it?

6. Clothes that require trying on

It is very easy to make a mistake with such gifts that require the direct presence of the recipient: outerwear, shirts, ties and cufflinks, perfume. Underwear and hosiery also made it onto the list of “forbidden” gifts, especially if they have humorous prints and cheerful colors.

7. Unnecessary souvenirs

It is not very pleasant to receive an unnecessary souvenir as a gift, such as figurines, boxes, magnets. From time to time we all clean our apartments of unnecessary junk. And then the moment comes when you want to throw away this souvenir, but it’s awkward...

8. Gadgets from unknown manufacturers

If you decide to give a man any of the gadgets (flash drives, drives, external drives, mice, keyboards, phones and accessories), remember, here, just like with clothes, it’s easy to make a mistake if you don’t agree on the model, dimensions, etc. nuances.

On the eve of the main men's holiday, the topic of gifts for February 23 becomes more relevant than ever. The Internet project “Be Mobile” has studied hundreds of options and is ready to talk about the 10 most valuable of them.

According to statistics from Yandex and Google, on the eve of February 23, the most popular queries in Russia are: “gift for a man,” “gift for a boyfriend,” and “gift for a husband.” Our online project decided to minimize the difficulties with choosing gifts and compiled its rating of the best gifts for February 23rd. Let's make a reservation right away that it does not include socks, underpants, deodorants, razors and shampoos.

Since our resource covers mobile topics, the rating includes gadgets, devices and accessories that are directly or indirectly related to technology and electronics. Who else but the representatives of the stronger sex love all sorts of “gimmicks” and “gadgets”. We tried to include both top-end and most affordable options in our list.

Idea 1: indestructible mobile phone

id="sub0">

The first idea was suggested to us by extreme sports enthusiasts, builders and blue-collar professionals. Every now and then they throw their mobile phones on the floor, drowning them in water. In general, they are not handled very carefully. Here the best option There will be an indestructible device - a phone or smartphone.

True, this option is suitable for men on whom you are willing to spend a very significant budget. On the other hand, your man, husband or loved one will appreciate the gift as positively as possible.

For middle aged men a good gift could become a smart watch. They will emphasize the style and respectability of a person. Fortunately, now the choice of models is akin to what can be seen among classic models - that is, a great variety.

A smart watch is an additional screen of a smartphone, thanks to which you can receive operational information, communicate in various instant messengers and Skype, monitor your health, and listen to music. The strap is also important for a watch. There are plastic, leather and metal options on sale.

The main disadvantage of smartwatches is their short battery life and high price. A much more interesting and affordable gift is a fitness bracelet.

In fact, a fitness tracker is a simplified version of a watch without a screen and a bunch of unnecessary functions. The tracker's task is to keep track of user activity, work as an alarm clock, and regularly transmit data to a mobile application. That is why the popularity of bracelets is still higher than that of smart watches. There are no special requirements for bracelets appearance, and due to the absence of a screen or the use of an economical display, fitness bracelets for the most part last much longer without recharging.

• Smart watch Apple Watch Sport (price from 27,990 rubles)
• Smart watch Sony SmartWatch 3 (price from 11,990 rubles)
