The editors of the site share their plans for gifts on March 8th. Men talk about what they plan to give as a gift, and ladies talk about what they would like to receive as a gift.
What to give on March 8? The question is as complex as the attitude towards this holiday, which varies greatly from city to city, from person to person. It seems to me that here we need to choose based not on production needs, on the routine of what is customary. Rather, you should choose as you feel. If you want to give a gift, then do it. Moreover, it can be either electronics or something else. If you do look at electronics, then avoid things that are necessary and useful in the household. Try to do something nice. Something that only the recipient will need and no one else will need. And it all depends on how much you know the person.
The holiday is not too big, so look for pedometers, programs or gifts in the form of certificates for the purchase of software. These are the most popular things for which people will thank you. But in general, I advise you to think about what a person would be pleased to receive, and build on that. These are the “harmful” tips for March 8th. Girls, happy holiday to you!
I’m not suggesting that you believe me or not believe me - on March 8, girls should definitely be given flowers and something completely unrelated to technology. No smartphones, no phones, no laptops or tablets. Lingerie, perfumes, cosmetics (you just have to be very careful here), jewelry, accessories - anything, just not equipment. Believe me, they won’t understand you if you bring any smartphone to the holiday, even if it’s a flagship three times. This is not that holiday. And in general, better for girls give equipment just like that, without being tied to dates. Such behavior will be perceived absolutely correctly. Any guy would love a new iPhone for his birthday. And the girl will be happy. But he’ll think why he didn’t buy me a scarf, a handbag or a ring.
So, if we talk about any kind of technology, then I myself solved the question as follows. Flowers, well, that's understandable. One non-tech gift. And Casio G-shock from the Baby-G line. We just constantly do all sorts of semi-sports or sports activities. Squash, skates. Karting. A bike coming soon. A watch like this will always come in handy.
The model, as in the photo, is simple, but I haven’t decided on the color yet. The price is about five thousand rubles.
I repeat, don’t forget about the flowers and the “feminine” gift! This applies to March 8 and any other days. I think the girls will support me.
If I had to consider anything as a gift for my other half, I would probably say something like flowers, a book, jewelry, or travel. That is, a standard set in increasing order. But I would like to imagine something from technology that you can give to a girl, while maintaining the meaning of this gift (a smartphone as a gift is great, but somehow wrong for March 8, in my opinion). Therefore, my theoretical gift for March 8 will consist of accessories from the Chinese company Xiaomi.
Firstly, because Xiaomi is one of the few brands in the world, besides Apple, of course, whose accessories, in addition to practical benefits, also have aesthetic benefits - they are simple and at the same time beautiful and stylish.
Secondly, because among Xiaomi products there are a lot of fun things that are inexpensive, so for a relatively small amount you can choose not just a few useful things in everyday life, but also some nice little thing in the form of a bonus.
Now I’ll show you with an example what I mean.
Xiaomi Mi Bank 5000 mAh with branded case
A very thin (10 mm) and beautiful battery in a silver aluminum case with a capacity of 5000 mAh. Perfect for charging the fourth and fifth iPhone a couple of times, or one and a half times for the sixth or Xiaomi Mi4, for example. The accessory is really beautiful, it distinguishes Mi Bank from most external batteries.
For the battery, you can immediately buy a branded case made of dense material with a soft outer side (similar to a velvet surface), for example, bright red. This set is very suitable as a gift; in my opinion, it is beautiful, useful and at the same time inexpensive.
The accessory costs 50 yuan, the case costs 20, a total of 70 yuan, or about 700 rubles, if you buy all this in a company store or on the official website. Through online stores it will be twice as expensive, but, you see, even 1,500 rubles for this set is quite reasonable.
Case for Xiaomi Mi4
The second gift implies that the girl has a corresponding smartphone from Xiaomi – Mi4. For him, the company recently began selling cases with a textured pattern. There is only one design for now, there are two colors to choose from, the accessory is exclusively for girls, so it fits right in with the theme of the spring holiday.
This case costs 50 yuan (about 500 rubles) and performs three useful tasks at once - it protects the “back” of the smartphone from damage, makes the device more convenient to grip (the Xiaomi Mi4 has a glossy cover) and, finally, turns the smartphone into a kind of girlish accessory.
Xiaomi Mi Band with replaceable bracelet
I talked about the Mi Band fitness module in the review. It’s a cool thing: simple, neat, with software that hasn’t yet been fully polished, but it’s a fixable issue. Now Mi Band is sold only with a black bracelet included, so if you decide to order this accessory for your girlfriend, it is better to immediately buy a replacement silicone bracelet for it, one, two or three, as you decide. The colors are bright, rich and beautiful. There is one drawback - colored bracelets get dirty quickly, but you can always wash them with soap, so the problem is not too serious.
Replacement bracelets can be viewed on the official website; they cost quite a bit (20 yuan).
Hare
Finally, the cutest and funniest gift, which is also the symbol of Xiaomi - the branded hare. All my friends who have seen these hares in person ask me to bring the same one. Moreover, most of them are not only not fans of Xiaomi, but do not even use the company’s devices, and some have not even heard of it. However, everyone wants a hare. The Xiaomi store has a large selection of hares, from plastic keychains and small soft toys to huge ones, almost a meter high. By March 8th, such a hare will come, it seems to me.
There is also this cool one, for example, but for some reason it is not currently available on the official website, so you need to look for it in online stores. Perhaps it is still on sale there.
And yet, all the accessories described above are not so easy to buy: there are no official sales in Russia, some things are available in online stores, but they are two to three times more expensive than their original cost, there is the option of ordering through large global online stores with delivery. On the other hand, this gives such a gift even more points of originality, doesn’t it?
Let me start with the fact that we published two large articles on our website on the topic of gifts for February 14 (an alien holiday of St. Valentine, whose roots go back to ancient Rome) and for Defender of the Fatherland Day on February 23. The articles listed the most interesting devices that can be given to both a man, a woman or a girl. And if you remember the material about new Year gifts, you will have a complete list of things for all occasions, including March 8th.
In the text “Buyer’s Guide: gifts for February 23,” Svetlana Leonova wrote: “...it is not customary to celebrate so-called gender holidays in our small family of two people.” Our situation is essentially similar: on the 23rd, my wife, mother and mother-in-law congratulate me mostly verbally, and on March 8th I give them flowers. Perhaps, when a couple meets and they are still going through the candy-bouquet period, young people give each other, in addition to flowers, something more meaningful to them. In short, you already understand that I am a boring and boring guy =)
If you have enough money, I recommend buying any high-quality smartphone with an unusual color. A phone is never superfluous. Some time ago, I gave my future wife a Fly Q200i for her birthday. Believe it or not, she still goes with him, she likes him, and she is not going to change him for another.
Now you can buy Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Pink colour, the Galaxy Note 3 in red will cost a little less. Alternatively, a purple Sony Xperia Z3. It's a little easier for fans of the Windows Phone operating system: Nokia and Microsoft have released a large number of devices with multi-colored cases in any price segment.
A less expensive option would be to buy an inexpensive but nice MP4 player, although, of course, people now listen to music more often on their phones. And if your beloved women are not very big music lovers, then give them any simple bright music player. For example, Apple iPod shuffle, Sony NWZ-B183, Ritmix RF-4850, Explay Hit and others.
By the way, it is best to gift headphones with the player: for example, large red or green Beats Studio, or pink Pioneer SE-MJ502, or Beats Solo 2.
Among the “plugs” there are also fun colors: BBK EP-1170S, BBK EP-1160S, JBL T200a, Sennheiser CX 686i Sports, Sennheiser CX 215 and so on.
And I congratulate all our wonderful women in advance on the upcoming spring holiday on March 8!
Girls are usually more emotional than guys, so the gift should be appropriate. I don’t know many gadgets that evoke emotions; among the latest, I can highlight, of course, something from Apple. And although iPhones/iPads now cost a lot of money, nothing prevents you from pleasing your other half with a good player; the same iPod Shuffle can be purchased for 3,000 rubles, and an iPod nano 7 will cost you 9,000-10,000 rubles.
Another good gift, in my opinion, could be a multicooker. Not to hint to your significant other to cook more often, but rather to make cooking easier. I know that ladies often have porridge for breakfast, which is much easier to cook in it. And in principle, preparing any dish in a slow cooker becomes an easier task. I won’t recommend a specific model, the main thing is to look at the power and take the one that is more powerful.
Also, the fair half of humanity usually takes a much more responsible approach to monitoring their figure, so if you see that a girl regularly weighs herself and records the results, then you can give her smart scales, for example, Withings WS-30 or WS-50.
First of all, I would like to note that the choice of a gift for a girl is usually more individual and balanced than for a young man. It is very difficult to choose something universal, since it is important to take into account the character of the other half. If you give me a scale, you might be offended, or a slow cooker - “Do I cook enough?” etc. Therefore, to begin with, I recommend finding out what the lady herself wants. Surely the girl could have mentioned that she had been dreaming of getting this or that thing for a long time. And of course, whatever you choose, don’t forget to buy flowers, because this is one of the most emotional gifts.
I don’t plan to celebrate March 8th. I have nothing against this holiday, it’s just that for me personally this event is no more significant than, for example, Ivan Kupala Day. What will I do? I will welcome guests, but on an occasion that has nothing to do with International Women's Day. All of the above, however, does not mean that I don’t like gifts and don’t think about pleasant, necessary things. There are many constructive (and not so constructive) desires. These are at the top of the list.
First, an e-book. I read a lot on my smartphone screen. I use the time on the subway only for reading books, which is about 50 minutes, five days a week. At home, I also get at least half an hour every day. There are no complaints about the phone's display, but to be fair, it's too small to read. However, I don’t want to change the device just because of the display size; I’m satisfied with all other points. I know firsthand how much more convenient it is to read from e-paper; I have used an e-book for a long time. Now its capabilities are not enough; a touch screen is needed, since one of the books is in English and translation of individual words is often needed. And the issue of dimensions is very relevant; there are always a lot of things in a bag, and you want to minimize the additional weight. As a conclusion to all of the above, you need a thin, compact e-reader with a touch screen and built-in dictionaries. Of the current offers, I would probably focus on the PocketBook 630 Fashion model. The previous book was also from the same company, and the principle of its organization was completely satisfactory. The 630th model has an updated interface, judging by the descriptions and screenshots, it is quite intuitive. As for the dimensions, the 630 model is quite thin and light (more compact than most devices with a display of a similar size), plus it comes with a case, which immediately solves the problem of finding one. From a recent review, Artema learned that the E Ink display is more contrasty and, in general, even better than what the manufacturer offered in earlier models. Six inches is enough for daily use. I also see the ability to download from Dropbox as useful. I keep books there, as well as many other things useful for daily use. For me personally, this is not a decisive point, however, when describing the PocketBook 630 Fashion model as a gift option, one cannot ignore the fact that the complete case was developed by Kenzo and is embossed with a crocodile.
Next on the list of current desires is the GorillaPod Hybrid tripod. Firstly, it is light and compact. This means that I will no longer be lazy about putting it in my bag when traveling and walking. It’s scary to remember how many worthwhile shots were missed due to the lack of a tripod. Secondly, if you believe the descriptions and reviews, the tripod can be easily placed on uneven surfaces and firmly fixed on a wide variety of objects. This means that bridges, benches, trees are suitable as a support point, and it is not at all necessary to look for a flat area. Weighing just 191 grams, this tripod can support cameras weighing up to 1 kg. I assume that I will purchase this fantastic accessory anyway.
And in conclusion, I’ll give you a couple of gift options that are most likely to please any girl.
Manicure set. For example, this one is Rowenta MP7018. The device allows you to quickly and efficiently put your nails in order at home. An irreplaceable thing for girls who are constantly short of time.
Illuminated mirror. A very common problem in any room is the lack of good lighting. To view yourself normally in the mirror, the light should not be too weak or too intense. An excessively warm or, on the contrary, cold shade is also a problem - the shades of cosmetics are distorted, and the result can be quite strange makeup. An excellent solution to the problem would be an illuminated cosmetic mirror, for example, like this one.
In general, giving gadget gifts to girls is not so easy. More precisely, at first it’s easy, but then it becomes more and more difficult. It is more difficult to find a thing that would be useful not to a man's eye, but to a woman's. For some reason, the opposite sex often values more that the device is simple, and even better, that it exactly repeats as many of the features of its predecessor as possible. Conservatism, of course, is good within reasonable limits, but in a couple of years, any gadget can change beyond recognition. For example, they will remove the soft turquoise version from the line, replacing it with sea green, and that’s it. Some people find it funny, but others don’t fit their style, so you don’t even have to think about giving it as a gift.
Those whose wife or girlfriend is interested in sports experience some relief. Firstly, the depreciation of any sports gadgets is higher than those simply living in a woman’s handbag. Secondly, all kinds of calorie-counting bracelets are quite simple and understandable, and mastering them does not require a long period of getting used to. Thirdly, it is sports accessories that usually have the widest range of colors.
For example, I’m thinking about making my other half happy with a waterproof Walkman. Model NWZ-W273 / NWZ-W274S. At its very core, the player is similar to the simplest representatives of iPods. All it can do is play music according to a list or in random order. But it has an undeniable advantage over “apple” (and almost any other) products. When you come to the pool with any other player, you will have to leave it in the locker room, but with the NWZ-W273 you can safely dive! Swim and listen to your music. The player will also save your ears from water getting into them, which is also a nice little thing. But the most important thing is not to forget to attach a pool pass to the player. So you will definitely like it, regardless of the color choice.
Every year on the eve of March 8, I sincerely sympathize with men who are actively searching for a worthy gift. This is not an easy matter, both because of the fickle nature of women and because there are no universal recipes. Maybe one of the fair sex will be happy to receive, for example, a “smart” scale as a gift, while others will kick the donor out the door, considering the gift a bad hint. And the bouquet will fly after you. Some people simply adore various things for the kitchen and cannot imagine a better gift for themselves, while others, at the mere thought of such a gift, will run to write another angry post online about the difficult lot of women.
I also sympathize with those who choose a gift for me - no matter how you try to make the search easier, no matter how you compile wish lists, the problem arises every year. For example, my husband has been offering me a coffee maker as a gift for many years now, an avid coffee drinker. However, I always have arguments against it - not very convincing ones. After all, how can you say in plain text that if I no longer have to spend time meditatively standing with a Turk at the stove, I will start drinking coffee in quantities that greatly exceed the norm. However, fans of manually preparing the drink are quite understandable, and until now I was one of them.
And yet I gave up, now I’m expecting a coffee maker as a gift, I settled on the Bosch SUNY TAS3203 model. Among its advantages are a very affordable price (about 4,000 rubles) in combination with a trusted brand and a compact size. Another selection criterion was the possibility homemade Cappuccino is perhaps my favorite type of coffee. Also, when preparing a drink, the coffee maker reads information from the barcode on the packaging, and the height of the stand is adjusted depending on the size of the cup. The latter is also very relevant for me with my small collection of favorite cups. But I won’t ask anyone to add to this collection on the occasion of the holiday - there’s already no room left in the kitchen.
At the beginning of spring, International Women's Day is celebrated, on which it is customary to congratulate all close women: beloved girlfriend, mother and grandmother, sisters and daughters. Therefore, for each person you need to choose a gift that would please her and give her spring, festive mood. Presents do not have to be expensive and significant, because the main thing is the attention and care of a loved one.
