You don't need a reason to give a gift to a loved one, but still on a holiday there are more reasons for this. February 23 is approaching - Defender of the Fatherland Day. On this day, it is customary to congratulate not only those associated with the army. All representatives of the stronger sex are trying to protect us, women, from the hardships and troubles of life, which means they are our defenders. And many women are tormented by the eternal question: "What to give a beloved man?" We offer you some options for gifts that you can use.
Unfortunately, the tradition of presenting men with cute hand-made little things - embroidered pouches, smart shirts, is irrevocably a thing of the past. Although who is not pleased to receive a vest, colored shorts for the coming summer, or a knitted warm scarf as a gift from his dear needlewoman?
If you prefer to buy presents, then men's perfumery and cosmetics is still a traditional gift. What to give him? You can try to ask "leading" questions, but it is better to guess his wishes and anticipate them. The classic range of men's gifts is not so great: a good perfume, a spectacular tie, an expensive briefcase, fashionable glasses … And this is not so important: the main thing is that you have the opportunity to choose the best. We will try to help you so that your man can look better, store, see, create. But first things first.
Very soon bright sunny days of real spring and then summer will come. Therefore, Mont Blanc, Giorgio Armani, Persol, Cartier sunglasses will come in handy. They are graceful, weightless and give a stylish look to their owner, regardless of the type of face. Agree that no one will brag about the keyboard of their computer to colleagues. But always with an expensive fountain pen. And the pens of Chaumet, Dupont, Dunhill, Tiffany will help him in this. A business man who has a schedule of work in seconds needs to get himself a good watch - for example, Rado, Longines, Cartier or Blancpain.
A handsome classic tie in your man's collection is like another good book in his rich library. He will be happy with such a gift, and if the tie is also from Gucci, Brioni, Dunhil, Giorgio Armani, then doubly. Plain ties are popular this year. It is very fashionable when its width is slightly more than average, and the length in a knotted form is up to the belt. And documents scattered all over the house, papers with telephones. Is this picture familiar to you? Then give him a portfolio or business card. All he wanted to ask you, but hesitated to say, is an elegant briefcase from Cartier, Bally or Brioni.
When choosing a perfume gift, be guided not only by the range of aromas that is already presented on its shelf in the bathroom. Perhaps you will open up a new world of smells to your spouse. February is the only month of the year when new and stylish men's fragrances interest us more than women's ones. This year's favorite is the masculine and dynamic scent of a real macho jungle conqueror and quivering ladies. And for good reason: ladies want to see a strong and reliable man next to them. And components such as vetiver and lavender give a "strong sound" to a masculine perfume. Eau de Toilette Celine, Higher from Christian Dior combines notes of cinnamon with splashes of coffee, rum and leather; the main ingredients of Paco Rabanne's Ultraviolet Man are spices, musk, vanilla and citrus;Oxygene from Lanvin or Miracle Homme from Lancome have a thick aroma of exotic flowers and fruits. All of the men's perfumes listed by us will help him shine and look great anywhere: whether in the company of friends or at a party with his beloved. You can add pleasant "little things" from the same perfumery line to the eau de toilette he already has - deodorant, shower gel.
If a woman adorns herself with the help of cosmetics, then the best adornment for a man is well-groomed hair, a clean-shaven chin and good skin, so he cannot do without the appropriate "bath and razor" means. If all the men's perfumery novelties were bought by you and presented during the New Year's marathon, then on the eve of February 23, it is most logical to choose something from the ones listed by us as a gift.
Always a necessary and practical gift for him - Bvlgari shaving foam or gel, bath and shower sets. Old Spice Aftershave Softening Lotion contains plant extracts and natural oils. They soften the skin and relieve irritation. And after shave balm E`Zup from DeBon, scrub for face or body Ean Savage from Christian Dior is necessary for every representative of the stronger sex, even if he never "gets his hands on" all this himself. The facial skin of men no less needs care than ours - because it also suffers from cold and wind, from hard tap water. In addition, men's skin suffers from mechanical stress when shaving. My husband, for example, whose skin is dry, easily flaky and irritated, always asks me for advice on which of my creams to use. So why, I decided,don’t give him a set of cosmetics specially designed for men? As a result, I put day cream, soft shaving foam, body deodorant and aftershave gel in a wicker basket - a beautiful composition turned out.
Steam lovers can donate a sauna set containing aromatic extracts - for example, Care for Man shower and bath gel from Giafranco Ferre or High Voltago from Oriflame are able to give energy and delicately cleanse the skin. They will fill the air of the sauna not only with a pleasant, but also healthy aroma. Add body and foot deodorant to your holiday set. It can be picked up as a hard stick or a scented spray like Lanvin's Oxygene Homme. And Schwarzkopf's mild shampoo for frequent hair washing will save him time. Those men who love comfort do not hesitate to use such delights, realizing that well-groomed and healthy skin is part of the image, such gifts will come in handy.
A feast for the body is not only luxury, but also elegant simplicity and comfort. Designers suggest choosing a gift to be guided by the Rustic conture style that came to us from England, which is distinguished by naturalness, closeness to nature in the choice of color and texture of the fabric. The classic reminds of itself by the selection of natural fabrics and materials. We offer you options for gifts in this style, pleasant for everyone (and for him, and for you, and for those around him) - this is a terry robe from Albert Ferretti, knitted or flannel pajamas from Skiny, slippers from LPerla, cotton shorts from Skiny, leather belt from PatriziPepe or socks from DIM.
Since the role of a personal make-up artist and designer, creating a masculine image, on this day (February 23) smoothly passes to us, women, and we, in fact, do not mind, then the main thing is to navigate the latest fashion trends in time. And when heading to the store for gifts, arm yourself with our tips. We hope they will help you and your loved one will like your present.
