Having spent very little time and money, you can give original gifts to your relatives and their families, friends, and work colleagues. Even the most insignificant small thing in a beautiful with sincere congratulations will bring true pleasure.

When you choose a gift for a man, you are, first of all, guided by your knowledge of the hero of the occasion, the feelings you have for him and the festive situation for which the gift is dedicated. This is all, of course, understandable and beyond doubt. But gifts also come in completely different themes and categories. And in order to more clearly understand what kind of gift is suitable for this or that representative of the stronger sex, we will dwell in detail on one of the most popular and interesting types of gifts. Let's look at what they are, symbolic gifts for men.

Symbolic gifts become such when they are endowed with this quality by the people who purchase these products. But that is not all. Symbolic gifts are known for their understatement, a hint of something. In particular, they can symbolize: friendship, love, and even the age-old connection of generations.

Thus, the award products that are presented on our website symbolize success and victory over something, recognition of the extraordinary qualities of an employee, and even tender feelings for the recipient. If you give your beloved man a figurine with the engraving *Winner of my heart*, the hero of the occasion will have no doubt about your feelings. By presenting an employee with a figurine on a professional holiday with the inscription *For the courage and heroism shown on the fields of business battles*, you will show how much you value your colleague. And an Oscar with the inscription “For Best Actor” will symbolize success, achievement of goals, and self-sufficiency. After all, only the most select few are awarded the famous American knight.

Romantic gifts can also be classified as *symbolic gifts for men*. Give the young man a keychain *Halves of a Heart*, keep half of the product for yourself, and give the other half to your loved one. He will always be next to you, in your heart and soul, just like you, next to him, and his half of the keychain will always remind you of you and warm you in a moment of separation.

Finally, an extremely symbolic gift is the Genealogical Book. This is an original gift for any holiday. By presenting this gift, you are giving not just a beautifully designed unique publication. This is a valuable historical document that will be completed over many years and passed down from generation to generation. This book is especially relevant as a wedding gift or anniversary present. A bright and memorable gift with meaning will delight any man. The cover is a wooden case. The delivery set includes: the book itself, a DVD with recommendations for completing the publication, and the author's brochure "Writing a Genealogy Book." Drawing up a family tree begins with filling out the Main Sheets of Relatives, which can be easily distributed among all generations, by clan and by family. The content of these pages will allow you to present family ties in a visual form and in a traditional form. In addition, based on them, you can create a Calendar of family memorable dates. It is possible to fill out the sheets both on the computer and by hand. Keeping a Pedigree Book is an excellent opportunity to communicate with relatives whom you have not seen for a long time. Information must be updated regularly.

You need to give symbolic gifts with a special feeling; remember that the recipient will definitely understand what you intended to say with your presentation. And for close and dear people, such gifts are ideal options that can be presented for almost any celebration.

There are only a few people who know how to choose and give gifts correctly. The secret of these chosen ones is simple: they know that a gift must have a secret meaning in addition to its practical value. You can present an expensive gadget so boringly that there will be no feeling of celebration left, or you can present a simple stone and tell what in Greece it means: “May your money be as heavy as this stone.”

You can flaunt your knowledge of symbolism beautifully, or you can skimp on it ugly. Who likes it more?

Western tradition - to get away with little blood

Of course, not all cultures are equally symbolic. Each country has its own etiquette for giving gifts, but the deep life meaning in them is laid mainly in the East. In the West, things are much simpler.

Are you about to give a terribly expensive gift, but you're afraid the recipient doesn't appreciate your generosity? There is a wonderful American tradition for this case: enclosing a receipt! True, they do this not to brag, but to give a person the opportunity to exchange their gift (if they don’t like it) for real money. By the way, it is Americans who give the most gifts in the world.

But the Irish don't send checks. Because there's no point. It is customary to give gifts here only to children. Adults do without such conventions. When going on a visit, you are supposed to take with you some food (preferably homemade) and wine. So if your loved one is into the currently fashionable Celtic motifs, don’t be surprised that you show up with a bottle of vodka and homemade sandwiches. The main thing is that traditions are respected!

Scandinavians and Finns don’t rack their brains too much either. The best gift is a candle! In these northern countries, living fire is a symbol of warmth, comfort, and light. Denmark generally ranks first in the world in per capita consumption of candles. But the Swedes prefer to give homemade candles. The art is simple: cover a rope well soaked in alcohol with soft wax or paraffin. Then everything depends on your sculpting talent. At least the gift budget is minimal, unless, of course, you don’t mind a little alcohol for a good person.

In France, with its cult of reason and education, a good art album, a highly intelligent book or a film are considered excellent gifts. In this way, you emphasize your respect for the cultural level of your interlocutor. Therefore, it is unlikely that a Frenchman will give such a gift to a Belgian - there are too many jokes in France about the stupidity of its northeastern neighbors. And indeed, the problem of gift symbols in Belgium is being solved in the most radical way. The gift is often accompanied by a card on which it is written in detail what exactly the item means. So that the recipient, God forbid, does not perceive the gift in some way incorrectly.

And finally, about caution. If you celebrate Valentine's Day cheerfully among the Germans, you will be misunderstood. For Germans, Saint Valentine is the patron saint of crazy people. And his day is celebrated primarily in psychiatric hospitals. However, what is love if not temporary insanity?

It's a delicate matter

In classical Eastern culture, every object is a symbol of something intangible. Without a detailed reference book it is impossible to understand these intricacies. Let's try, however, to find some key points of Eastern gift-giving.

It is a commonplace that a Chinese person should not be given a watch. It is believed that keeping track of time reminds the Chinese of death. May be so. Moreover, the expression “giving a watch” sounds in Chinese exactly like “attending a funeral.”

In China, people are generally very sensitive to the sound of words. Thus, “four” is considered an unlucky number only because it is consonant with “death.” But we can turn our neighbors' prejudice to our advantage. Is it decent to give a girl a mobile phone that she has long dreamed of? After all, it certainly contains the ill-fated clock!

Give me a fan instead! After all, its shape is similar to the lucky “eight” (two divergent features that, according to Chinese thought, lure and prolong happiness). Or something else of a similar shape: for example, an umbrella.

A great way to offend a Chinese person is to give him something, no matter how valuable, but in a rectangular elongated box. The trained gaze of slanted eyes will immediately see in this a coffin, and, consequently, a wish for death.

It seems that our southeastern friends are tired of their own total symbolism. At least they consider money to be the best gift. True, etiquette has been developed for this case too: the bills must be crisp, fresh from the bank, and certainly in a special red envelope with best wishes written on it.

And the second most desirable gift in China now, alas, is... binoculars. Moreover, they do not respect their own, Chinese optics, but are completely delighted with ours, especially the army ones. And no symbolism! It’s just that here it’s not considered indecent to peek at each other, and the general lack of curtains contributes to this. It is probably believed that if you are hiding from your neighbors, then you have something to hide from the party and the government.

But in general, the value of a gift for the Chinese is in its value. Getting away with an incredibly cute but cheap trinket is extremely indecent.

The Japanese, while in no way inferior to continental Asia in the complexity of traditions, still treat them more calmly. So, on February 14, they give each other expensive chocolate and eat it to the point of diathesis. This is their convenient symbol of love.

Islanders generally love to eat. For example, a food set of expensive products is considered an excellent gift. This is not accepted among us, but perhaps it’s in vain? A good basket from Globus Gourmet will please a normal girl much more than a thirty-four teddy bear the size of a live baby elephant. Or it’s considered chic to bring back food from a trip that is produced only in the city where you were. Reminds me a bit of my former father-in-law - from every business trip he brings back a bunch of labels from local beers.

And the Japanese prefer to give flowers to their girls through delivery services. You won’t see a man with flowers on public transport – that’s not the samurai way. In addition, some Japanese are so strict that they are still convinced that giving flowers is the prerogative of members of the imperial family. This is exactly how it was accepted in the Middle Ages. So you can tell your offended friend: “Let Medvedev give you flowers!”

In contrast to the Western taboo on piercing gifts, in the East a good saber is an excellent gift for a man. Such things are especially valued in Muslim countries. True, there may not be a weapon accepted from a woman’s hands. War is a man's business.

And do not give anything in Saudi Arabia on February 14th. For celebrating this ungodly day there is a heavy fine.

In general, Muslims probably have the largest list of things that cannot be given. Of course, alcohol is excluded. Pigskin too. Works of art are extremely undesirable: they often contain images of people who are not approved by orthodox Islam. In poor countries like Pakistan, it is better to give utilitarian things; in spoiled countries like Arabia, a carpet is considered a classic gift, but dishes or trinkets made of porcelain or silver will also do.

Everyone gives gifts. The male spider presents the bride with a fly - so that the spider does not eat the male himself after the wedding night. The stupid penguin boldly catches a fish and gives it to his passion, who could easily get this fish herself. The weaver bird is said to bring fresh flowers to the marital bed. And in the St. Petersburg zoo, a small macaque once stole a mirror from a servant and presented it to the dominant male.

There is only one universal symbol in gifts. "Heart" means "love". Here you will be understood both in Namibia and the Falklands. And maybe even in the St. Petersburg zoo.

Not all wedding celebrations, in terms of their style and scale, require large and expensive gifts. Therefore, this article will tell you about the “Symbolic Option” wedding gift. And, believe me, even such an inexpensive gift will be able to please your dear newlyweds and surprise them.

Naturally, even a symbolic gift should correspond to the age and tastes of the couple, and the style of the celebration. Depending on the preferences and weaknesses of your bride and groom, we have divided such gifts into several categories.

If the couple’s common interest is “sweets,” then that’s very, very cool! If you have the proper skill, you can prepare an edible gift yourself - remember what young people love most?

Or maybe they should be surprised with a special, unusual dish that they have never tried? Molecular, Italian, Yakut, African, Japanese cuisine... There are a lot of options, and the choice is yours.

Gifts that truly inscribe the names of the heroes of the occasion into the milestones of history always attract attention. A little effort, Photoshop (or the help of photo salon employees), imagination - and... Watch the video in this article and our selection:

• Article about newlyweds in the legendary (and personal) newspaper - “Evening Moscow”, “Komsomolskaya Pravda”, “AiF” or any other famous newspaper in your city.

Advice! Any symbolic gift will be made memorable by an original congratulation, told from the heart. Don’t be lazy to spend a little time preparing the text in advance, and maybe even drawing up a rough outline of it.

Gift certificate

One of the most relevant gifts at all times is cash (see). Nowadays, its more interesting “brother” has arrived - a gift certificate.
