When choosing a gift, it is better to ask in advance what you would like to receive for New Year close person. When the New Year's gift has already been prepared, the question is to present it not with a banal presentation, but in some special way, so that this moment is imprinted in the memory and leaves pleasant memories for the whole year.

Choosing packaging for a gift

First of all, you should take care of the packaging. The gift should be intriguingly hidden from premature discovery behind a bright, eye-catching box or bag, decorated with decor appropriate for the winter holiday. It can be beads, sparkles, snowflakes, "rain" Christmas decorations- any New Year's tinsel that brings magic and sparkle.

An unusual packaging shape, for example, in the form of a large candy or a triangular Christmas tree, will also add brightness to the impressions

Even such traditional sweets as candy can be presented in an original and creative way. How beautiful is it to give sweets, you ask? For example, you can wrap them in multi-colored foil and hang them on a miniature living Christmas tree, from which you can give them as a gift. Or you can create a whole plot composition or a colorful bouquet of sweets. You can give sweets as a fun gift by placing them in the paws of a soft teddy bear, or better yet, a kind and loyal Doberman or husky. After all, the coming 2019 is the year of true friends.

Gifts for adults and children for the New Year - candy

The main thing is to use your imagination and come up with interesting and unusual ways to give gifts. There is no need to rush into delivery; you should prolong the intrigue as long as possible. After all, the beauty of New Year's Eve is in the anticipation of a miracle.

Quest to find gifts

A good idea would be to present gifts in a dynamic, playful manner. This approach will especially appeal to young people and children. For example, if the dimensions of the room allow, you can hide gifts in secluded corners, and put a postcard under the plate for each guest with a hint about the surprise and its location. Let everyone find their treasured prize.

Games in the form of quests on the theme of “treasure hunting” – great way excite adults and excite children. Starting with short hint notes placed on the New Year tree and by the fireplace, everyone, completing short tasks along the way, gradually moves towards the place where their “treasure” is hidden. The one who finds his gift first also receives a prize.

For a more respectable public who are not inclined to move too actively after an abundance of New Year's delicacies, more passive methods can be offered featuring Santa Claus, magician or a character from modern cartoons. It has been verified that gifts that are pulled out of a bag or “black” box are much more interesting to receive. Therefore, you should definitely acquire such a New Year’s attribute.

You can put a bag of gifts outside the door, playing up the situation with the arrival of Santa Claus while the New Year's feast lasts

If there is a living symbol of the coming 2018 in the house, let your dog take a cart with gifts on it from the next room. Believe me, this will cause a real sensation.

New Year always involves a joint celebration of children and adults. But if childhood lives in each of us, then adulthood is not yet available to children. They will appreciate not so much the meaning of the gift itself, but the fantastic atmosphere in which they receive it.

How to give gifts to children for the New Year in an original way?

Of course it has to be a game. Even the most banal gift can be presented with imagination and humor. A regular call from Father Frost and the Snow Maiden can greatly brighten up the holiday. Nowadays there are such artists that adults are ready to believe in their naturalness, and their New Year's performances for children with gifts capture all ages. Just don’t dress up as these characters yourself, the child will certainly recognize you and won’t believe in the fairy tale.

Play “search” with your baby. Say that Santa Claus hid a gift somewhere, but forgot where. You need to fulfill his three wishes, then the gift will be found. Tell a poem sing a song and dance. Each action brings the baby closer to the gift. These tasks can be hung on the Christmas tree and let the child find his New Year's gift himself by looking for the task on the tree and completing it. The fourth note (discreetly hung in a visible place after all the conditions have been met) will indicate exactly where Frost left a gift for the young talent.

Similar options are possible for very small children. This trick, of course, won’t work with teenagers. The best thing for them will be to organize a separate space to continue the holiday with friends, when their parents will leave them alone with their lectures and moralizing for at least this time. And the presentation of gifts after the chiming clock can be organized in the form of a moving quest with dressing up in carnival masks, solving riddles and completing tasks.

How interesting it is to give gifts for the New Year to adults

For a group of friends and colleagues, you can put gifts of equal value into a bag and play a win-win lottery, in which everyone gets a gift in accordance with the winning lucky ticket. Another way of presenting is to write a humorous summary about each of the guests in advance. After reading it, those present must guess who the specific gift is intended for.

When presenting gifts, you can further play with them by adding some small trinket with an original text of wishes for the New Year

Any gift can be decorated creatively with unusual packaging. For example, how to present a towel beautifully? Throw it on funny soft toy or roll it into the shape of a bear or cat using ribbons and elastic bands. You can create entire compositions from objects. For example, build a “cake” from cosmetics, decorating it with New Year's accessories, serpentine, sweets and a glass of champagne. Small colorful towels can be placed in cocktail glasses and straws can be inserted.

Show your creative imagination, and then even the most ordinary gift will take on new colors, and new Year's Eve will become bright and unforgettable.

One of the most pleasant moments of the New Year is, of course, gifts. All people - both small and large - love to receive New Year's surprises. Giving a gift is a whole ceremony and its proper observance leaves a good impression both on the gift and on the giver.

You have already purchased new Year gifts for your loved ones? That's half the battle! Ninety percent of success depends on how the gift is presented. New Year's Eve is a time of waiting. All the fun lies in waiting for a miracle.

Children look forward to gifts most of all. For original congratulations You can invite your child to Santa Claus and Snow Maiden from companies specializing in such New Year's services. And there is an even simpler option: ask your neighbors to ring your doorbell on New Year’s Eve and leave gifts at the doorstep. Instruct your child to answer the call (refer to how busy you are). Imagine his joy when he finds a gift and a small note from Santa Claus, saying, “Sorry, I’m in a hurry - there are many more children to see, don’t worry, listen to mom and dad.”

If you wish, you can give a gift to the child and all the guests present, taking gifts out of the bag like a good wizard. Only you need to take care of your wizard costume.

When all the guests are seated, call the child and say: “All sorts of miracles happen on New Year’s Eve. So you and I can be wizards!”

The child should actively help you - let him cast magic over the bag and come up with spells. You must theatrically take gifts out of the bag and give them to the person for whom they are intended. Give gifts to everyone present, focusing on the child, appreciating his merits and achievements in the past year.

Adults love pranks just as much as children, and perhaps even more - in their busy lives, less time is spent on games and surprises. Do not rush to hand out gifts prepared for guests from the doorstep. After they have refreshed themselves and are slightly tipsy, give them papers with individual tasks. They must encrypt the location of the gift. For example: “Your gift is where the arctic cold always reigns, but no one has yet died from cold and hunger.” You probably already guessed that this means a refrigerator. This means that the guest's gift is in the refrigerator.

Is it worth reminding us that presenting a New Year’s gift wrapped in beautiful wrapping paper and tied with a decorative ribbon is not originality, but rather a tribute to etiquette and polite tone? But packaging in three, four or even five layers (based on the matryoshka principle) already claims to be original delivery. The main thing here is not to overdo it with the number of layers, otherwise the recipient, after lengthy attempts to open the packaging, is unlikely to be happy with the gift itself.

By the way, with the help of balloons you can give a gift to your beloved girl in a very original way. TO balloon in the shape of a heart filled with helium, you should tie a gift: something light, for example, jewelry. Place the ball in a box, which is given to the recipient of the gift. Imagine the surprise and delight the process of opening a gift will cause! It is important to give such a gift indoors, otherwise it will fly away in the literal sense of the word.

Among them you can choose absolutely any product for any person who will certainly be impressed by such Special attention V New Year's Eve. However, it is worth noting that it is not enough just to purchase a suitable gift for the upcoming holiday, because it is no less important to present it correctly.

After all, if you want to surprise your children, then this is one story, but if you want to please your beloved spouse, girlfriend or girlfriend, then completely different actions and words should be included here.

Four original ways to give a New Year's gift

How can you give an original gift for the New Year so that your loved ones will forever remember this winter and fabulous holiday?

Game option for adults and children


An extremely interesting option for giving gifts would be the active game “Thirteen Notes.” First of all, to do this, you need to securely hide all the prepared gifts in your apartment or house. Then you should take a piece of paper, cut it into thirteen even pieces and on each piece write the original path to the created cache. For example, in the first note that you hand to the team captain yourself, you need to hint where the second clue is. On the second piece of paper you should describe the place where the third note lies, and so on thirteen times. It is worth noting that the clues must be hidden very carefully, since all invited guests should enjoy the pleasure of the search.

As a rule, such an original way of presenting New Year's gifts is quite a popular activity, because many people prefer to actively celebrate the New Year rather than sit at the table all evening and all night, eating all kinds of goodies.

Treasure hunters


The presented method of presenting New Year's gifts is more suitable for those families who celebrate this winter holiday in a large house or apartment. After all, the originality of this method lies in searching for your gifts over a large area for a long time and with interest.

In order to implement your plan, you will need to make every effort and prepare the necessary equipment in advance. To play pirate treasure hunters, you should purchase the appropriate equipment, namely several vests, hats, canes and other attributes.

In addition, you will need to carefully hide the gifts of all participants in this game, and only then start drawing cards. To prevent this idea from falling apart in the first minutes, it is recommended to confuse guests with a map that is slightly difficult to read. It is also worth noting that to carry out more fun game You can additionally come up with some competitions, after winning which the participant receives a hint about the location of his treasure.

Despite the fact that the presented idea represents a certain children's version receiving gifts, yet quite old people really like to get involved in it.

For those who do not like outdoor games after a hearty New Year's feast, we can recommend a more passive, but original way of presenting gifts. To do this, you should build a large black cardboard box in advance, in which you need to place all the prepared gifts. After this, the initiator must dress up as a magician (black cloak, top hat, magic wand, etc.) and place his equipment in the middle of the room. Calling each family member or guest in turn, you need to give him the opportunity to “pay” for the future gift. For such a fee you can accept poetry readings, songs, dances, jokes and other humorous acts. After payment, you can safely take out the prepared gift from the box and reward it with a distinguished family member.

If there are too many guests and there is not enough money for large gifts, then it is better to purchase a variety of equally inexpensive but pleasant goods that relatives can pull out of the magician’s box themselves.

Romance


If you are going to celebrate the New Year with your significant other, then there are many other original ways to give a gift to your beloved woman in an unusual way. It is also worth noting that one or another method of presenting a gift depends entirely on what exactly you purchased for your wife or girlfriend. But at the same time, it is necessary to take into account that the main thing in such a situation is not to forget to admit your sincere and deep feelings, since these words are the most valuable gift for any woman.

We all love to receive gifts, especially in such magical holiday like New Year. But if you add imagination to gifting, you can surprise not only with the gift, but also with the way it was given. Such stories will then be remembered with no less warmth than the gift itself. So, what are some ideas for the New Year and how to give gifts in an interesting and effective way?

New Year's Ideas: Secret Santa

This type of gifting has become especially popular with the development of the Internet, and especially social networks. But giving gifts to strangers, although pleasant, is a little risky. Firstly, with this approach you will not see emotions, you will not understand whether the person liked the gift at all and how useful it is for him. Secondly, it is much more difficult to choose a gift for a stranger than for a loved one. Thirdly, it leaves an unpleasant aftertaste if you acted as Secret Santa and sent a gift, but received nothing in return. Still, the idea is to mutually exchange pleasant little things.

How can you use Secret Santa in reality? There may be a couple of options here, either this is an office party, or a large friendly party, which will bring together not only best friends, but also good friends. In both the first and second cases, you should initially determine the budget that will be spent on the gift. This is done so that no one is offended and no one cheats. After all, a keychain and a new dress are completely different types of gifts, so such an exchange is no good.

As soon as the budget is decided, how much is the minimum and how much is the maximum to spend on gifts from Secret Santa, you can proceed to the next stage, become that same Santa and find your own. And the method of drawing lots will help you remain “secret”. After writing their names on pieces of paper, all Secret Santa participants put them in a bag or bag. Then each participant draws out the name of the person to whom he will give the gift. Accordingly, there must be an even number of participants so that no one is left without a surprise.

In an office environment, you can give gifts at the end of the last working day, you can put a gift on the table of the person for whom it is intended during the day or in the morning. But at a friendly party, it will be much more impressive to sign each gift, naturally beautifully packaged, put them in a pile under the tree and feel the real spirit of the festive atmosphere. Among the advantages that you will be able to see the reaction of the person for whom the surprise was intended, bright New Year's photos under the Christmas tree with many gifts. Participants in the photo shoot will look like advertising heroes or Hollywood movie heroes.

New Year's Ideas: Find me if you can

This method of giving gifts is known to many, whether from personal experience, or from films or books. The special charm is that the gift is hidden somewhere in the house, or a real treasure map is drawn to find it. Thus, finding a gift turns into an exciting game.

This New Year's idea is also suitable for big company, both for small and family quests. If the company is large, then again, it is worth stipulating a budget, and then hiding the gift as skillfully as possible for the person for whom it is intended.

To make your search more interesting, it is best to use your imagination. For example, hide your surprise in some place that is special to the person or simply unusual. To find it you will need a map or clues that will help you solve this mysterious place.

If the holiday is celebrated outside the city, for example, in a rented house or in a dacha that only the owner knows, then the search will become much more interesting, since no one will be able to navigate this area well enough.

New Year Ideas: Gift Calendar

Anyone who loves receiving gifts or really loves giving them will be delighted with this idea for the New Year. The calendar can be made in any way, for example, a chest of drawers with 31 drawers, 31 sewn pockets in which gifts will be hidden, and which can be hung on the wall. You can find it on the Internet different ways How to prepare such a calendar.

The main feature of the calendar is the numbering from 1 to 31, so that you can take exactly one gift every day. At the same time, in the first days you can give very minor pleasant surprises, such as chocolate or movie tickets. But the closer to the New Year, the more serious the gifts become. The final one should be a real good surprise.

This New Year's idea is ideal for couples, families or close friends living together.

How to give gifts in an interesting way: Every day is a holiday

The idea is similar to a gift calendar, but here the person who will receive gifts throughout December does not know about it. In order to realize the idea, you should stock up on small pleasant things for all the days of December, and then, every day, discreetly place a gift in the room or on the table of the person for whom they are intended.

A prerequisite is the effect of a fairy tale. To do this, you can buy a roll wrapping paper, wrap each gift separately, and instead of the epitaph on the surprise card, write “From Santa” or “From Father Frost.”

Of course, the final gift cannot be simpler than all that came before it. Therefore, starting with sweets, you can gradually move on to more significant surprises, or make the final one the most significant.

This idea will also be appropriate only in a narrow family circle, among couples or close friends who live together.
