Well, the New Year is not so close, but as the saying goes, "Thatch your roof before the rain begins. Which means you need to decide in advance on what to save money, and how to please your loved on the following year.
So we also thought about it and decided to approach the issue comprehensively. Naturally, we believe that the best gift for your beloved on his birthday is a balance board. But:
- It doesn't mean there are no alternatives.
- We will definitely argue our position...
So... how to choose a really good present for any occasion in the next year..
How to choose such a present
Starting from this line you obviously expect the phrase "let's pick balance boards, because they're the coolest" ... Well, actually, they're not. No matter how unfortunate it is to admit it, but the balance board is not a one size fits all present, it will not suit everyone. Therefore let's start from the beginning. You have to ask yourself a couple of questions before you decide on a present:
- Have you been hinted at what to give your loved one for his birthday to someone in his entourage, or maybe directly himself.
- Whether your man appreciates symbolic gifts, or conversely only prefers a practical stuff. Despite the myths, the best gift for the man could be a year's supply of socks sometimes.
Though he was not pleased with such a gift at once, he will remember it with tenderness in time.
Why? Because he receives a supply of socks every year, and he doesn't know how expensive they are, or where to buy them, or even worry about it.
Certainly the example of socks is not a call to action, but it clearly illustrates that sometimes а trivial things can be much more valuable than your romantic notions.
- An individual's income. Things he can afford and things he can't afford. An exclusive board for a rich businessman will be much nicer than for a student. Because it is exclusive and no one else has it. Furthermore, exclusive is not always expensive. For example, gold and diamond iPhones, which everybody loves, are much cheaper to produce than their price, and the stuffing is the same as the basic set.
- Hobbies. If your loved one is into skateboarding - then you know what to get him. Loves gadgets? Consider what he doesn't already have. An avid hiker? Take your pick.
- Age. Unfortunately, you can not give a balance board to a 70-year-old grandfather. More accurately you can, and he might ... even ... will be happy ... But ... he has a " health circle ", that offers the same, more habitual and conservative.
Yes, after you read it, the answer to the problem may seem obvious to you. But now read the top paragraphs again, think about it, and compare it to your budget...
What can be picked up
Note: the following sections should be read only if trivial and simple advice from the previous failed to encourage you to make a choice, here's a direct recommendations.
- Money card. Maybe not the most fun and creative gift, but if you don't know what to give at all, it's better than something tasteless and useless. It is possible that your amount is not enough to fulfill this person's dreams.
- Collaborative travel. A good gift, but you need to be very careful that the planned "tour of Europe" will not fall on a business trip, or important days at work. Otherwise, the money will be wasted.
- Watch. For guys and men under the age of 35, an apple watch or an alternative in the form of products from Xiaomi are perfect. We recommend to pay attention to Swiss replica watches for wealthy men. Well, if you have the means, then on a good European Mechanics.
- Bracelet. A simple silver/gold bracelet. It is important that it be a classic bismarck not of blown metal, looking as massive and stiff as possible. Trust me, any man will be delighted with such.
- You can create and weave your own bracelet out of paracord, equipping it with brutal clasps from carabiners.
- A purse. Keep in mind that it must be functional and exclusive. Thus, you can go to a workshop and order laser engraving on leather.
- Flask. Simple. Beautiful. Elegant. Manly. Although a completely useless gift, people usually get excited about the flask, and think about how they will carry a supply of "warming" fluid with it at all times, being prepared for all occasions in life
- Here are the universal gifts for men. So if you are sure that none of these will do, then all that remains is to think about balance boards earnestly.
- Creativity. Anyone expecting a gift will clearly be surprised by your approach. At the very least, that's something he obviously didn't expect.
- Versatility. This kind of gift can be given as a low-income student and an adult businessman.
- Practicality. No matter how ridiculous it may sound, but even if a person is not keen on balancing, it is quite possible to put a board as a footstool near the computer table. Take it from me, it's really comfortable.
- Cheap. Amidst everything we've considered, the Balance board is one of the inexpensive among extraordinary presents.
- he best gift is the one that the person wanted for himself.
- The universal gifts are just " pricier socks".
- Every occasion is individual, and it is quite possible that your option is a bottle of Coca-Cola and a box of Kinder...
Why u need balanceboard???
Well, now it's time to get to the good stuff, specifically why we think that there is nothing better than a balance board when you want to please a loved one. Regardless of whether you want to do it as a holiday gift, or just to make the а special day.
After all, this is the most minimalistic and practical training device. It will not transform a person into a Schwarzenegger, not even Stallone. But it is quite capable of maintaining the muscles of the spine, preventing scoliosis, and improving coordination.
Well, it is possible to buy additional equipment for those who are crazy about all sorts of "fitness things" and start active training for surfing and freeride.
The most important thing is that if suddenly the man dislikes the gift, he can easily hide it in a closet, so it will not constantly come to his eyes. Though believe me, if you get on the balancing board at least once you will not want to stop training.
Initially you will want to hold a competition to see who can stay the longest at least. And further the effect of balancing and the simplest tricks can make even the most melancholic guy get hooked.
A little philosophy at the end
Certainly, it is possible to argue that the main thing is not a gift but attention. However, remember that attention complemented by a direct hit to the hobbies, will give a tangible advantage to the simple attention.
Surely we are not insisting on giving your loved one a balancing board, but we still believe that it has not become a mainstream trend - a gift like this can help improve physical fitness, will be creative, useful, practical, etc.
But seriously, no matter how many articles you read about the best gift for a birthday, new year or other holiday, keep in mind a simple thing.
