We all like to receive nice, small gifts that are chosen with love. Therefore, you should not look for big reasons to choose a small surprise for a loved one. Moreover, in the calendar, in addition to individual holidays, there are so many holidays common to all. For me, when the holidays come, a period of big ideas begins, what gift to choose and who to choose. However, choosing and purchasing a gift is only half the battle. The main thing is to figure out how to present your gift so that it is remembered, pleases and gives many good, pleasant moments.
How to present a gift beautifully, ideas
The culture of gift-giving has its own distinctive characteristics. The process of giving, presenting a gift can not only tell about the attitude towards the birthday person, but also show some individual characteristics of the character of the giver himself. Therefore, not only the choice of a gift, but also the very method of presenting it should be thought out.
Before choosing an option for giving a gift, it is worth considering some points:
- the occasion to which the gift is attached,
- solemnity of the event,
- tastes, preferences, interests of the recipient of the gift,
- gender, age of the hero of the occasion.
For people who like not only to receive, but also to independently select gifts for others, you can offer several interesting options on how to present your gift in an original way:
- Presentation of a gift in the form of a quest. To do this, you need to draw a plan on a piece of paper with certain stops and tasks. Each correctly completed task leads to receiving a hint where to look for a gift. This option is suitable for girls, boys, and teenagers. The main thing is to choose doable, fun, interesting tasks.
- Matryoshka box. This method involves packaging the gift in several boxes. In this case, a smaller package is placed in a larger box. The greater the number of boxes that need to be unpacked, the more long-awaited the gift itself will be.
- Festive explosion. A small gift can be placed in a special ball, the peculiarity of which is that in its middle there are many small balls, sparkles, and serpentine. Such a ball is brought to the room where the birthday person is. At the moment of presentation, the balloon bursts, multi-colored balls and sparkles scatter around, and the gift itself simply falls into the hands of the birthday person.
Convince the whole world
This is usually done by a trained team of professionals. I know great guys (their main specialization is city quests) who have accumulated a lot of experience in organizing unexpected surprises. Call me if anything happens :-).
I won’t list all their ideas, I’ll just tell you how it happens. The birthday person should be invited for a walk on a pedestrian street in your city, where musicians, cartoonists usually gather, ice cream and souvenirs are sold. It will be more fun if there are many friends or colleagues, a photographer and videographer.
Now it's time to be surprised...
- on an old house, the birthday person will see a sign with his name “He has lived and worked here for 35 years...” (on tape, of course, property cannot be damaged)
- suddenly a stranger walks by with a bullhorn and, after an advertisement, reads congratulatory poems to the entire street
- The “living” statue comes down from its pedestal and gives a ball
- surrounded by a group of passers-by and loudly singing “Happy Birthday”
- street magician performs an individual show
- a local cartoonist gives a finished work in a frame (can be ordered in advance from a photo)
- A waiter comes out from a nearby restaurant and offers him champagne.
- street musicians suddenly perform their favorite melody
- the original presentation of a gift can be entrusted to the prince on a white horse (usually they ride children on fancy horses)
That's it for now! I'll add if I remember anything else.
Hello, an excellent and original idea on how to surprise and please a loved one. I really like to give interesting and unusual gifts to my family and friends. But I give them simply traditionally. Now I’m looking forward to my friend’s birthday so I can surprise him not only with the gift itself, but also with its delivery. Thank you for your advice.
Just great! Super ideas
Thank you for the interesting ideas. I was very inspired and was looking for how to give an original gift for my anniversary. The idea with signatures for... simply created a sensation, super, and I’ll stop there.
How to give a gift for the New Year
In our family, it is customary to prepare gifts for the New Year holidays. However, just finding a gift under the tree is too easy, so I try to find interesting tasks to make the process of finding a gift interesting and fun.
I want to share those ideas that I spied somewhere on someone or simply came up with myself:
- Hide the gift on the tree itself. During the holidays, the New Year's beauty becomes shiny, bright, and colorful. And among the New Year's toys you can hide a small gift, and to find it, come up with riddles about the Christmas tree. Of course, you can’t hide a big gift on a tree, but a small present may well get lost among the toys. And his search will bring the recipient many positive, cheerful impressions.
- Gifts as described. To do this, you need to prepare a short “resume” for each family member, which describes his characteristic features. After this, the description is read, and those gathered must guess what kind of person they are talking about. When the recipient is guessed, he receives his gift.
- Forfeit. Small bags are hung on the tree, in the middle of which it is written what gift the owner of the bag will receive. To receive this bag, each of those present must complete the task. Separately in the common bag are creative tasks. Each person in the group pulls out one piece of paper with tasks, completes it, and then receives their own bag with a gift.
And inside the gift...a gift
We pack the gift like a “matryoshka”
. For example, we pack a gift in a box, and then put it all in a larger box, and so on five times. But it's not that simple. In each of the boxes we also pack a small gift, for example, chocolates, sweets, designer pens, diaries, etc.

| Slippers made from grass are a great gift for someone who doesn’t have the opportunity to get out into nature. |

How to give a gift to a child in an interesting way
You can choose a good gift for a child by knowing his hobbies and interests. However, in order for such a gift to bring even more positive impressions and emotions, you need to think about how exactly to give the gift to the baby.
- One of the interesting, non-standard options is to present a gift by a courier, who must be dressed in the outfit of a film character, a fairy-tale hero that the little birthday boy likes.
- Search for treasure. To do this, you need to prepare a map of the place where the action will take place. The map indicates the place where the treasure is hidden. The card itself is cut into several parts, each of which is hidden in a separate envelope. To receive a gift, the child needs to find all the pieces of the map, put it together and find the place indicated on the map. By completing special tasks created by adults, the child receives hints on where to find the next piece of the map.
- Tape quest. It is necessary to prepare several long colored ribbons, which are tied in a chaotic manner from the little birthday boy’s bed to the gift. Only one ribbon leads to a gift, the other routes end in a dead end where small consolation gifts can be placed. The birthday boy must follow the routes and find his gift.
How to give money as a gift
Often when choosing a gift, guests understand that the best option is to give the birthday person money so that he can choose exactly the gift he needs. However, simply giving money is a bit trivial.
In this case, you can offer several interesting, original options for presenting banknotes:
- Make a collage of money. This option for presenting money will be especially interesting for those who like to travel. It is worth choosing the currencies of different countries (you can choose money of different denominations). The collected banknotes can be decorated in the form of a small picture. When presenting a gift, you can mention that the hero of the occasion must now visit all those countries whose banknotes are present on the collage.
- Money picture. For this option, the money is placed in a photo frame, under glass, and the presentation process itself can be accompanied by funny little poems.
- "jar of greens." You can put bills or coins in a transparent jar, and roll up the lid of the jar itself. Make a funny inscription on the jar: “fresh greens”, “green salad”
Options for making a cash gift:

The idea of presenting a gift is that during a joint walk through places memorable for young people, various surprises happen: a stranger gives a girl a flower, an artist presents a painted portrait, street musicians perform the couple’s favorite song. And at the end of the walk, the young man brings the girl to their special place, where he gives her a gift.

- "Battleship". Every man is a big child who loves to play. Therefore, you can prepare a small version of the game so that your husband receives his gift. To do this, you need to prepare several boats (or other toys), on the bottom of which you should glue letters with tape, from which you can form a clue word. The man receives a water pistol, using which he can turn the toy over and see the letter. Having put the word together, the husband receives a hint where he should look for his gift.
- "Party". If your spouse has friends with whom he would be happy to celebrate his holiday, then you can think over a party scenario.

We present gifts in verse
Giving a gift will be especially beautiful if the giving process itself is accompanied by thoughtful congratulations. You should approach the selection of such words of congratulations responsibly, choosing words that will suit your hero of the occasion. It is best to choose small quatrains as such congratulations. Taking into account the characteristics of the person himself, the situation of presenting a gift, such poems can take a humorous or solemn form.
Bouquet of socks
A good old gift is socks. No man is surprised when he sees socks as a gift. However, if you add a little creativity and a piece of your soul, you can give your man a cool gift with your own hands.
Take wrapping paper, wooden skewers, socks and ribbon. We make a bend in the area of the elastic band and begin to fold; when we reach the middle, we turn the remaining part of the sock in the other direction and continue to fold.
We fasten the resulting “flower” with a pin and thread it onto a skewer. We collect flowers in a bouquet and package them beautifully. That's it, the gift is ready.

Gift ideas:
Knowing the character of the person for whom the gift is intended, you can create situations for presenting a gift that will be remembered not only by the birthday person, but also by those who were nearby at that moment.
Cool
Some fun ways to give a gift include:
- The gift is in pieces. This idea is suitable for expensive but fragile gifts. The contents of the packaging box are removed and placed in a safe place. Instead of a gift, fragments and ringing objects that make a rattling sound are placed in the middle of the box. At the moment of presenting the gift, the giver “accidentally” drops the box. from which the corresponding sound is heard. A few minutes later, when everyone present is still in a state of shock, the donor brings his real gift and gives it to the birthday boy.
- "Pig in a poke." This option is suitable for a company. It is worth preparing a lot of small little gifts that are universal in nature. Such gifts are simply placed in a common bag. Each of the guests takes out his gift with his hand, without looking into the middle of the bag.
- Content is different from form. An ordinary gift is taken and packaged in unusual packaging.
- "Student Raffle"
- "Treacherous Key"
Beautiful
- Gift in the cake. A small gift can be hidden in the middle of a self-baked cake. To do this, the gift is wrapped in waterproof paper and placed in the cake. The top of the gift is covered with a cake layer. To receive his gift, the birthday person must cut the cake.
- Theatrical show. To present a gift, you need to prepare a script and invite friends who will have to play their role.

- A gift on the way.
- Bouquet of soft toys and sweets.
unusual
Unusual ways to give a gift:
- Lucky. Under any pretext, you drag the birthday boy to the store, where you prudently agreed with the administration. In the store, a store representative approaches you and hands you a gift to the birthday boy as the “ten thousandth” customer.
- A small gift can be hidden in a non-standard place. For example, a small gift can fit in a clothing pocket or glove. A person who finds a gift in such an unusual place will receive a double dose of emotions: from pleasant surprise to joy from the gift itself.
- The gift is looking for its recipient. The gift, which is prepared for each individual representative of the company, is placed in a box on which its recipient is written. After this, the box is wrapped in another layer of paper, where a different name is written. And this is done several times. When it's time to present gifts, guests receive a box with their name written on top. However, after they remove the top layer of the packaging, they will see a different name of the recipient to whom they must transfer the box. This is how gifts are passed on until they fall into the hands of their recipients.
- "Hollywood star".
- Prepare several small gifts, each of which should correspond to a specific wish.
Basic nuances during preparation
Before you begin to implement your plan, the giver must clearly think through how to present a birthday gift. To do this you will need:
- Choose an idea . This is the main point, since the subsequent scenario of events will depend on it. The donor must choose an option that will be interesting for the birthday person and will correspond to his age. However, adults often don’t mind taking part in small competitions to relive their childhood.
- Purchase the necessary props . No idea can be realized without materials. Their choice directly depends on the concept of presenting the gift.
- Set a suitable time . For example, if the donor decided to arrange a quest, then it should not be too short or long.
- Involve friends and relatives of the birthday boy in the idea . Giving gifts in an original way is much more interesting collectively. At the same time, the concept is developed jointly and responsibilities are distributed. You can definitely surprise the birthday boy with this gift.
- Choose a gift . To do this, it is worth taking into account the tastes and preferences of the person who is planning the holiday. It is recommended to pay attention to high-quality and useful gifts that will bring pleasure to the birthday person. You can also sign a gift beautifully, buy a colorful gift bag for it and prepare a ceremonial speech.
- Start preparing early . Most often, people leave everything until the last minute, and then rush to prepare and organize everything. Because of this, it is impossible to achieve the desired result and all plans collapse. To avoid such consequences, it is recommended to start preparing in advance. The amount of time needed for this will depend on the complexity of the idea and the participants in the event.
- Create a budget . Most of the ideas that come to the donor’s mind are beyond his budget. In order not to get into a difficult financial situation, and not to spend your last money on the implementation of your plans, you need to choose options that will not hit your wallet too hard.
