Top 25 Gift Ideas for Family and Friends for the New Year

1. Automatic spice grinder

Freshly ground spices have a special aroma and give the dishes an unusual taste. Thanks to the device, it will not be necessary to make efforts to grind them. We recommend giving such a gift to a connoisseur of culinary experiments.

2. Multicooker

The device greatly simplifies the cooking process and saves a lot of time. After all, cooking requires almost no control. When choosing a multicooker, you should pay attention to its functionality. In addition to the basic features (stewing, frying, baking), you can purchase a device with the ability to cook deep-fried dishes, yogurt and steam.

3. Salt lamp

Not only a beautiful element of decor, but also a help in taking care of your health. Salt lamps are designed to purify the air and protect against harmful radiation from household appliances. Also, the lamp can be used as a night light with soft light.

4. Board game

Great gift for fun. You can choose a game that will bring all your loved ones together. For example, monopoly, forfeits or lotto. Or buy a gift, based on the preferences of a loved one. For a card lover – poker, for families with children – fun games that will be of interest to both children and adults.

5. Sensory gloves

Warm gloves with a built-in sensor will make life easier for a loved one in the cold season. They allow you to answer calls or messages without exposing your palms: the hands of your loved ones will always be reliably protected from frost. There are models for different budgets: from inexpensive cotton options to genuine leather gloves.

6. Smartphone

A smartphone 一 is a welcome gift for many people. When choosing a gadget, you need to pay attention to the amount of memory, photo and video quality, battery capacity and various functions that the device supports. A variety of models allows you to purchase a device that anyone will like: a pensioner, a student, an adult. However, it should be borne in mind that a quality smartphone is not the cheapest gift. You should not give an outdated model for the sake of saving. If the budget does not allow, it is better to choose another presentation option.

7. Power bank

An indispensable device for those who are often on the road. With the help of a power bank, you can charge your smartphone anywhere, which means that a loved one will always be in touch. Typically, devices have a standard USB connector and allow you to charge not only your phone, but also a camera, quadrocopter, and radio-controlled toys. The main thing when choosing a device is to pay attention to its power, because the number of gadget charges depends on it.

8. Robot vacuum cleaner

This gadget makes cleaning easier for millions of people. Why not please a loved one with such a gift? After all, thanks to him, you can spend more time and energy on your favorite activities, and not on maintaining cleanliness in the house.

9. Heated massage cushion

It will help to relax and warm the muscles of the neck and shoulders at work, in the car and at home. Also, the massage pillow 一 is an excellent prevention of many diseases of the spine. Massage rollers imitate the movement of the massage therapist’s hands, which allows you to save on relaxing massage sessions. The perfect gift for people who care about their health.

10. Smart scales

Proper nutrition and an active lifestyle are undeniably beneficial for health. But looking for improvements in your body is not intuitively interesting. Smart scales do more than just measure weight. With their help, a loved one will be able to check a variety of indicators of the body: body mass index, bone and muscle mass, physical age, and much more. Scales save and analyze body parameters, which can be viewed from a smartphone or laptop, transmitted via Bluetooth. This allows you to evaluate the effectiveness of the selected training or nutrition program.

11. Pocket warmer for hands

A gift that will warm you in severe winter frosts. A heating pad will allow you to walk more, because thanks to it your hands will always be warm. Therefore, such a present is just a godsend for those who like to spend a lot of time on the street.

12. Antistress toy

It will help a loved one to relax after (or during) a hard day. In addition, toys are presented in a wide variety of variations, you can choose a cute animal or a funny muzzle.

13. Neck pillow

A great gift for those who travel a lot. Thanks to the pillow, trips will become comfortable, and the neck muscles will tense less. There are many models. Inflatable pillows are budget, but quickly lose their shape. It is better to give preference to a hard filler, such as memory foam.

14. Magnetic board on the refrigerator

The gift is more suitable for families. On the board, you can write various reminders, a list of products, or just nice words to each other. By the way, you can hand it over by writing a warm wish or congratulation.

15. Smart alarm clock

A modern gadget that provides comfortable sleep and easier awakening. Provides statistics on the amount of time spent in bed, analyzes the fast and slow phases of sleep. Some models are equipped with a lighting effect that simulates the dawn, which allows you to wake up faster, or sunset, to prepare for a good sleep.

16. Humidifier

The device allows you to maintain the optimal level of humidity in the room. If it is normal, the mucous membranes are in a hydrated state and are able to more effectively respond to microbes, bacteria, microorganisms and allergens entering the upper respiratory tract. Therefore, the likelihood of diseases is reduced. Therefore, a humidifier 一 is a great gift for any person. The gadget is especially relevant for families with children.

17. E-book

The book has always been considered the best gift. And technological progress has allowed us to purchase an e-book once and fill its topics with the works that we want. When choosing a device as a gift, you need to pay attention to:

• screen type, e-paper technology or e-ink black and white displays are used in readers,
• size, the most optimal 一 6 inches,
• presence of illumination
• availability of wi-fi for the convenience of downloading books,
• memory size,
• Battery capacity.

18. Fitness bracelet

The gadget will help you monitor your health with interest. You can choose an advanced model that tracks blood oxygen levels, heart rate, sleep quality, has a training program and more. Or purchase a simple tracker with a minimum of functions. In any case, the device will be useful to anyone. The bracelet will help you move more, improve sleep and play sports with pleasure. And this is especially true after the New Year’s feasts.

19. Thermal mug

It will keep your favorite drink warm for a long time. A loved one will surely appreciate such a present on the way to work or while walking, drinking hot tea, coffee or mulled wine. Also, a thermo mug helps to take care of the environment, because thanks to it you do not have to buy disposable cups with drinks. It is better to choose stainless steel models – it is a practical and durable material, it keeps heat for a long time and is not afraid of falling from a small height. We also recommend purchasing airtight mugs so that a loved one does not worry that the drink will spill during careless movement.

20. Heated blanket

The perfect winter gift. An electric blanket is a modern type of bed linen. It is equipped with electrical components that heat up when plugged in. Most models allow you to adjust the temperature to your liking. Externally, the electric blanket differs from the usual one only in the presence of a wire.

21. Wireless headphones

Fans of watching movies and listening to music alone will definitely appreciate such a present. The owner of these headphones will not have to waste time unraveling the wires and finding a comfortable position for the gadget. When choosing a device, you need to pay attention to their shape, operating time, frequency range, the quality of the Bluetooth connection and the presence of a noise reduction function, which is so necessary in public transport.

22. Wireless speaker

If a loved one likes to be in the center of attention and often gathers guests, such a gift is the best option. With the speaker, you can listen to music anywhere and with sufficient volume for the company.

23. Smartphone projector

If a loved one likes to watch movies, the projector will come in handy. With it, you can transfer the image to a large flat surface (for example, on a wall). Cinema in your pocket – you can arrange a session anytime, anywhere.

24. Vinyl player

The same sound with characteristic rustling and wheezing is a source of comfort and “lamp-likeness”. To return the forgotten feeling of nostalgia to loved ones, searching and choosing records, listening to music not in the background, but attentively, a vinyl player will help. The option is not budgetary, but it will almost certainly please a loved one.

25. Coffee maker

Connoisseurs of good coffee will not refuse a quality coffee machine. Depending on the budget, you can choose drip, horn or capsule devices – worthy representatives of any of these types are found in almost all major brands of household appliances. Complete the gift with a coffee grinder (if it is not built into the machine) and a package of quality beans.

How to choose a gift for family and friends for the New Year

一 Choosing a gift for a loved one is not an easy task, 一 says psychotherapist Mikhail Zverev. You will hardly want to “get off” with a simple souvenir. First of all, a New Year’s surprise should bring joy to the addressee. Do not forget about the benefits of the presentation. It is advisable to try to find out what a loved one wants in advance. 

It is also important to think about the following things.

1. You need to give exactly what your loved one will use. You should not choose a present based only on your own interests.
2. It is undesirable to give ambiguous gifts. For example, a married man will probably be puzzled by deer antlers, and a woman is unlikely to be happy with floor scales (especially if she is overweight).
3. Consider your loved one’s hobbies. The fisherman will be delighted with the new spinning rod, the numismatist 一 with a new coin for his collection. But in this case, it is important to immerse yourself in the topic, otherwise, you can miscalculate with a gift by handing something unnecessary or already available.
4. If there are no gift ideas at all, you can give a certificate to the store, for the provision of any service or procedure. Giving money is not the best idea (except when the person asked for it himself). 

In any case, the most important thing is sincerity and warm wishes when presenting a gift. Without them, even the most expensive gift is unlikely to bring joy and pleasure from receiving it.
