Finding a gift for your beloved girlfriend, wife or sister is a serious test for many men. Of course, you can always resort to standard versions of gifts (jewelry, perfume, smartphone, etc.), but in contrast to them, we have selected 5 unusual gift ideas in honor of the New Year, which we are in a hurry to share.

We also recommend paying attention to the recommended gift ideas for:


Wallet

Women, unlike the male part of the planet, often do not shove money into their pockets, but prefer to keep it in a purse. In addition, the wallet serves as a haven for discount and bank cards, business cards, travel cards, photos of your favorite kids. For a girl, a purse is an important accessory that should be both practical and beautiful (like herself).

From the abundance of offers of women's wallets, the eyes literally run away. Compact and roomy models, leather and textile products are presented on the shelves of stores, and the head is completely spinning from variations of various colours. Genuine leather products are considered the most practical and durable. Imitation of real leather — artificially created eco-leather, which has hypoallergenic properties in addition, has also proven itself well as a material for making a purse.

If the chosen one of the heart prefers to wear small handbags or uses clutches, which are also well suited for the role of gifts under the Christmas tree, take a closer look at compact models of wallets. Otherwise, a large purse simply will not fit in a handbag or will take up all the free space in it.

Non-trivial wallet models in high-quality performance can be searched among the products of the brands Piquardo, Tony Perotti and Wanlima. And remember the main thing: before handing over a present, be sure to put a bill or a few coins in your wallet so that its owner always has a "live" money.


Hair styling devices

No matter how Mother nature ordered, and girls with straight hair prefer to curl strands and vice versa — owners of curly curls face the need to straighten them. Therefore, styling devices are a win—win option for a present with or without a reason.

Curling irons are faithful accomplices in curling curls. Their squad includes devices in which heated plates of various shapes are used for laying. Both inexpensive solutions from Scarlett and true hairdressing professionals from Babyliss and Remington are in demand in this segment. Apart from the family of curling irons are automatic curling models with a motor on board that rotates the heater and winds a curled strand of hair on it.

In contrast to curling irons, stylers are used to straighten unruly hair. They are based on heating flat plates. The next step in the evolution of rectifiers is multistylers, equipped with an expanded set of styling attachments. They are slightly more expensive than classic stylers, however, such devices can also be used for a wide variety of purposes.

The key parameter in the selection of flat irons and irons is the coating of heating elements. Preference should be given to ceramics (along with its derivative in the person of tourmaline) and titanium. And if you can't bear to choose — pay attention to the universal styling devices from the "all-in-one" category, combining side by side the functions of a hair dryer, curling iron and styler.


Portable Photo Printer

In the light of the rapid development of the genre of mobile photography and the raising of the bar for the quality of images taken on a smartphone, the issue of printing the footage is acute. Not everyone needs a bulky classic photo printer, but a pocket portable solution for printing pictures almost "on the go" will please any representative of the beautiful half of humanity.

All sorts of selfies, photos from Instagram and other social networks, finally, the first steps of a beloved baby — all this, captured on a smartphone, can be printed out in the blink of an eye without excessive effort, so that later you can touch the paper print and relive valuable moments of life anew. Pocket format printers create photos up to 10x15 cm in size (Canon SELPHY CP1300) by connecting to mobile gadgets "over the air" (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or NFC), USB wire or reading data from an SD flash drive.

Most of the kind of portable photo printers use the technique of sublimation printing, which is produced in several stages. For example, a Polaroid Zip baby spews an impression of 54x86 mm from its womb in 1 min., without requiring refilling with ink. The mini-printer "eats" special paper with several layers of a special crystalline substance. When selectively heated, thermosensitive crystals form an image on paper. It also works in a similar wayKodak Photo Printer Mini.

To instantly print photos, a portable printer will need to make friends with a smartphone through a mobile application. Most of them provide the ability to edit photos, create collages and apply various effects to prints. The choice of pocket now is small, the easier it will be to pick up such a small gift that will keep great memories.


Fitness Tracker

The fashion for a healthy and active lifestyle is striding confidently across the planet. Personal trainers on the wrist — fitness trackers — will help to adhere to the rhythm of training, controlling the parameters of physical activity.

All fitness trackers are charged with collecting information about the number of steps taken during the day, the distance covered during this time and calories burned. Models with a built-in heart rate monitor additionally measure the heart rate, which may be useful for more accurate dosage of loads during sports. And as a bonus, the lion's share of "smart" bracelets duplicates notifications from a smartphone connected wirelessly.

The real hit of the fitness tracker market is the Xiaomi Mi Band 3 wearable gadget. Thanks to a wide variety of multi-coloured straps it fits in with the image of any athletic girl, bribing with an almost perfect balance of price and functionality. Xiaomi AmazFit Equator and Samsung Smart Charm gadgets are considered to be purely female models, which look more like a stylish accessory than a smart device on a refined girlish wrist.

Girls who are seriously passionate about sports will inevitably like Garmin, Polar or Fitbit trackers. For example, the Garmin Vivosmart 4 bracelet makes an approximate load plan for the day, analyzing information about physical activity for previous periods, and also determines the level of oxygen saturation in the blood and allows the user to see their "energy levels".

If a girl does not particularly focus on "sportiness", a fitness tracker in the role of a present can be perceived by her as a hint that it's time to lose weight. So choose the gadget wisely and prioritize. Fortunately, wearable trackers for every taste and colour are now on the market — you will only need to decide on the price category and functionality of a fitness tracker for a gift under the Christmas tree.


Manicure set

Beautiful and well—groomed nails are not a whim, but a necessity for most modern women. Maintaining a perfect manicure from day to day is not an easy task, especially if it is not always possible to find time for regular trips to a nail salon. That's where the sets for home nail care manifest themselves in all their glory.

The category of manicure sets is opened by classic options equipped with hand tools like scissors, nail files, pliers, cuticle blades and other devices of this kind. The specific configuration of such tools can be different: there are both the simplest sets for basic hygiene, and advanced professional solutions with numerous tools in a roomy case. Preference should be given to high-quality materials, the best among which for domestic use is considered to be unpretentious stainless steel. Of the significant players in this field, the products of the Zauber and Beurer brands are bothered to pay close attention.

Electric devices for nail care stand apart in the genus of manicure sets. Their equipment usually includes a machine with an electric motor and attachments (milling cutter), which is well suited for time-consuming operations such as grinding or polishing. With their help, you can take care of both natural and extended nails. Such sets work mainly from the network.

An indispensable attribute of nail care are varnishes. The girl selects the nail colour for a certain wardrobe and mood. Therefore, a set of multi—coloured jars of lacquers is, perhaps, one of the few gift options for cosmetics for a girl, with which it is difficult to make a mistake.
