gifts for a man

To please a man with a gift for his 55th birthday, you need to choose something really worthwhile. And for this you will have to show sensitivity, connect logic and act intuitively. In addition, you have to understand the psychology of the hero of the day and show your imagination. Then the right decision will come to mind, and the gift will bring real pleasure to the recipient.

Features of choice
Some guests invited to the celebration do not even think about the meaning and quality of the gift. It is assumed that an adult man will favorably accept any thing as a congratulation and tactfully keep silent if something is not to his liking. But the one who really cares about the hero of the day wants to present him with something really necessary and important.

It remains to be seen what exactly. Everything is not as difficult as it might seem at first. It’s easier to figure out what interests men and what present is most appropriate if you divide the existing options into categories.
First of all, one must imagine what the hero of the day is in his respectable and rather controversial age. At first glance, this period of a man’s life seems ideal, because much has already been achieved, and all the important priorities in life have been put in place.
In addition, most of the desires have already been realized, and the financial situation gives confidence in the future.

At this turn, crisis moments in the family are already in the past, giving way to an understanding of how important harmony and tranquility in the house are. Career also occupies a stable and firm position. If you have your own business, it is usually already developed and successful.
If the hero of the day serves in a public position, then he probably already occupies one of the highest steps on the career ladder.
But there is another point of view: by the 55th anniversary, physical activity decreases and it is already necessary to give the body more time to rest. Sports loads are also not very invigorating and cause less enthusiasm compared to the sensations of five years ago. After all, I wanted to celebrate 50 years on a grand scale and continue to rush forward at the same speed.

Men who have approached the age of 55 are tempted to understand themselves and find out what is now paramount. At the same time, the attitude of relatives to the age of the hero of the day also becomes special. Each representative of the stronger sex at this age wants to receive ll-deserved respect not only among colleagues and friends, but also in his own family. The understanding that at home he remains in the foreground is very invigorating and stimulating for a man.
That is why a gift from relatives on the anniversary date of 55 years must certainly express respect, sincere attention, gratitude and love. Close people should try to remember what was important and necessary for their hero of the day lately. Maybe he wanted to accomplish something, but work and household obligations interfered?
For example, he has long wanted to visit a spa or learn to ski again. Even just a ekend spent with loved ones in nature has long been an unrealizable dream, because everyone is always busy with business. And a man is unlikely to be able to refuse an already paid ticket or an organized family trip. He will have to adjust his work schedule to this gift.
And if he is not a fan of active pastime or long trips, organize a trip to the country or a country picnic. This is a more relaxed type of vacation in the circle of the closest people.

For a man who appreciates good food and music, it’s a good idea to organize an anniversary celebration in a restaurant. Of course, if the state of finances of the organizers of the celebration allows. Favorite music, show program, dances, songs — all this will bring the hero of the day in good shape and remind you that life is still full of colors and smiles.

Practical gifts from relatives can be purchased jointly. It is profitable and convenient. Thus, even buying a plasma TV, new laptop, smartphone or coffee machine there will be no invoice for anyone.
If the hero of the day occupies the post of chief, and you serve under him, it is more logical to prepare for his 55th birthday a nice gift from the whole team. Chipping in with colleagues is convenient and not too expensive.
At the same time, it is possible to count on an impressive amount, which significantly expands the boundaries of choosing a gift. It is usually accepted to give things that do not go beyond the boundaries of office etiquette and the distance beten the boss and subordinates.
One of the important components of such a solemn event as the celebration of 55 years are flors. Yes, buying a bouquet in this case is appropriate and indicated.


It is advisable to insert a postcard with wishes from the team into a chic bouquet or basket of flors. As a present, a certificate for the purchase of various things is suitable. This idea will allow the manager to make an independent decision on what to purchase and will not put him in an awkward position.
Alternatively, you can give a 55-year-old male manager a branded office. For example, a pen with a gold nib or adorned with other precious metal. Or present one of the exclusive accessories useful for businessmen. An object of painting or sculpture will cause no less pleasant emotions, but only for an art connoisseur or collector.


Business partners also congratulate the hero of the day on this day. Most often they are not in close friendly relations, but friendly communication beten them exists. In this case, the hobbies of a 55-year-old man are taken into account.
If the hero of the occasion is fond of hunting, an excellent present would be good gun. For a book lover, you can prepare a rare copy of the printed edition or a high-quality e‑book. Items for office or home office decor can also serve as gifts. For example, an originally designed map of the world (of a particular country), a status table (wall) clock, a branded set of stationery. In general, a prestigious, expensive and individual present is presented.


A gift from friends for 55 years is often bought collectively. Then you can afford to give something really presentable and worthwhile. Especially if a friendly company has existed for a long time and it is numerous.
A gift can consist of two parts: intangible and practical. In the first case, a congratulation is meant, framed in a beautiful frame.. It is better if these are memorable poems or a collage of photos from different years, of course, with the image of friends on them. Each friend, if desired, writes his personal wish to the hero of the day on the reverse side.

An excellent solution is to give a friend a video about his life with joint photos and favorite music of the hero of the occasion for his 55th birthday. The video will be more interesting if it is accompanied by original comments to the frames. Surely in the family archive of the birthday man there are funny pictures that can be appropriately used in creative congratulations.
Of course, with the permission and support of the wife or adult children of the hero of the day.
Practical gifts are a selection of the 55-year-old man’s favorite items. For example, a broom for going to the steam room, a rare book, elite alcohol, cigars. Or something from hobbies — tennis racket, guitar, picnic set in the country, car accessories.


Useful things
An anniversary gift does not have to be high-profile and expensive. The main thing is to give it from a pure heart.

A practical gift for a relative — tea set with a jar of honey instead of sets. It is much easier for a loved one to choose something necessary and useful. Relatives are usually ll aware of each other’s passions and desires.
It is important to understand that no one will be pleased to receive a gift that emphasizes age, but a father or father-in-law will gratefully take care of them.. In this case, it is allod to give blood pressure monitor, glucometer, foot or back massager, a ticket to a sanatorium or for certain procedures. A gift in honor of 55 years to a father from children should convey their concern for his health and the promise to prolong his years in a cheerful spirit and strength.


A practical and hard-working man, capable of tinkering, will like good set of tools, electric drill, screwdriver - in general, something that will facilitate repair work around the house. A brazier or barbecue set is also considered a good option as a present for a homely man.
It is not necessary only on the anniversary to present things that the whole family will use. For this, there are dding anniversary, New Year and other non-personal dates. It is necessary to do something pleasant on a birthday to the one who had it.

This is done with the implication that the best gift for a husband is a beautiful wife nearby. After presenting such a presentation, the hero of the day is presented with a real gift.
