For adherents of material gifts, offer a whole list of ideas, depending on the hobbies of the recipient.
For a business person
1. Diary
Today, gadgets play an important role in our lives. They help not only to stay in touch, order food and services, communicate with a dozen people at once, but also plan things.

If your friend is just like that, then the diary will be a great and budget gift at the beginning of the year.
2. Handle
Another useful gift would be a pen. People in leadership positions are forced to sign a lot of documents. It will be much more pleasant and hygienic to do it with your own pen. When choosing, be sure to pay attention to the quality of the product and the brand. And if you want to make a gift more individual, you can resort to engraving.
3. Cardholder
It is rare to find a person who still pays in cash. Even pensioners now have cards.

It will perfectly include several bank cards, rights and a fitness subscription. With this set, you can safely leave the house!
4. Belt

In this case, a classic leather belt will come in handy. If the budget allows, you can consider branded models, but there are also high-quality models at affordable prices in the mass market.
5. Clock
A watch is an item that today is used more as an accessory that emphasizes status. Models can be found completely different — with a leather or metal strap, with a classic dial or skeletons, mechanical with Roman numerals or electronic. Such a gift requires certain investments, so it should be given only to a very close friend.

Romantics will appreciate such a present. There is no practical use in it, not everyone can sleep with such a nightlight — the light will interfere. But it will create a pleasant, creative and slightly mysterious atmosphere in the room.

For the incorrigible homebody
16. Slippers
This is perhaps the most obvious gift for those who like to spend evenings at home.

Large sets, which will also include a Turk and a bag of sets, will cost three to four dollars. And then it all depends on your imagination and financial capabilities.
18. Console games
Most men, regardless of age, dream of having a home console. And if your friend is a homebody, then he most likely has already purchased this gadget for himself. In this case, a game for the console will be a win-win gift option. And if in doubt about the choice, give a certificate for a certain amount so that your friend decides for himself.
19. Voice station
The future has already arrived. Although the voice station is not a full-fledged robot assistant, it will already be able to maintain a completely meaningful conversation, order a taxi, give a ather forecast or tell a fairy tale. We live at high speeds, so give a friend the opportunity to save some time and not type the necessary request on the phone, but voice it to the electronic assistant and get an instant ansr.

It remains only to be patient and free to choose the perfect edition.
21. Scratch card
Among seasoned travelers there is a tacit game — to compete who has visited more countries. Today, they even came up with applications where you can “save” the countries where you managed to visit. But it’s much nicer to mark them on a wall scratch card. A nice, non-binding and inexpensive gift.
22. Porbank
An indispensable gadget not only in the city, but also when traveling. At the airport or in a tent, if the electricity is turned off or the outlet does not fit, the por bank will always stay in touch. It is better to choose models with a capacity of at least 10,000 mAh — it will last more than 3–4 phone charges. Also pay attention to the strength of the output current — the smaller it is, the longer the por bank will charge other gadgets. Get a model with quick charge technology and multiple USB ports.
23. Folding knife
A folding knife is a necessary attribute for lovers of camping life, and just independent travelers. It is equally useful both for overnight stays in a tent and during stops at a hotel. When choosing, be sure to pay attention to three things: the manufacturer, the handle and the blade with a lock. It is good if the knife is not very heavy, because most of the time it will have to be carried in a bacweack, and not used for its intended purpose.
24. Mug
Every self-respecting hiker knows what the abbreviation KLMN is — a mug, spoon, bowl, knife — this is a list of must-have things that you need to take on a hike. We have already talked about the knife, you can still somehow do without a spoon, but the mug can also be used as a bowl. You can drink tea and eat soup from it. There are different options — enameled, titanium, steel and plastic. There are also silicone folding mugs, thermo mugs and mugs with folding handles. They also differ in volume — from 200 ml to 600 ml. When choosing, be guided by the type of hikes that your friend prefers.
25. Bacweack
A good hiking bacweack is not cheap, so it should be given only to a close friend. You need to purchase a bacweack only with a fitting. There are a lot of nuances here — the ight, size and volume of the bacweack, additional pockets, easy access to things and functional attachment points for additional equipment, the presence of a rain cover, comfortable shoulder straps and a waist belt, good ventilation. Also, do not forget that when trying on the bacweack must be loaded. With the right selection, the bacweack will delight its owner for more than one year.
