Everyone enjoys not only receiving them, but also giving them. However, year after year, it becomes quite difficult to surprise someone with a gift.
This is a real problem, especially if you are going to give a gift to someone else in the form of a surprise. In our selection, we’ve put together some unusual and atmospheric gifts that are sure to please.
New Year’s Candle Set
Cost – from 600 rubles
What could be more atmospheric than the aroma of fir trees, tangerines or freshly baked cookies? In today’s world, candles are not just a way to light up a space, but also to bring coziness to a home.
Candles are not just a way to light up a space, but also to bring comfort to a home.
They come in a variety of scents and even shapes. And if you search the internet, you can find candles with secret wishes or fortunes. Also, if your future gift recipient is a fan of a fandom, you can look for a themed candle. For example, a Hogwarts Christmas candle.
Board Games
If you don’t want some “boring” gift, board games are a great choice. You can find New Year’s-themed winter games, or you can choose the ones that will appeal to a fun group of people.
Great options that will cheer up the future board game owner include Cosmic Contact, Paranormal Detective, Machi Koro, Exploding Kittens, Carcassonne or Ticket to Ride.
These games all have fairly simple rules and all have competitive elements. However, Paranormal Detective can be played without competition. The games are fun, with completely different mechanics. So you can definitely choose the one you like the most among them.
Book with New Year’s recipes
Cost – from 1 000 rubles
No New Year’s Eve celebrations are without some delicious food. Of course you can be a stickler for ordering food or going to cafes/restaurants. But nothing beats home-cooked meals.
There are always plenty of recipes on the internet, but a cookbook adds its own charm to the kitchen. Especially if the book is illustrated. When choosing such literature, you should focus on the taste preferences of the gift recipient, as well as the composition of the dishes. Truffle and Kamchatka crabs are certainly tasty and cool, but not everyone will be able/willing to buy them.
Speaker Light
Cost – about 2,500 rubles
One of the coolest and most atmospheric gifts in this selection is a speaker light with a clock in the shape of a vinyl record player. It looks magical when it glows, so it can brighten up any room just as well as garlands or other lights. And together with your favorite music, it can capture all the attention for the New Year’s holidays.
Aromalamp
Cost – from 500 rubles
Gift from the series with candles. Such aroma lamps have started gaining popularity again in the last year. They can be used as aroma oils or melts (small wax figurines that produce a pleasant aroma when melted).
.
Aroma oils are a time-tested product, the main thing is to choose a pleasant fragrance that the gift recipient will like. And mints are something unusual and relatively new. Firstly, they look unusual, secondly, their smell is a little softer than that of aroma oils, and thirdly, they can be melted until the smell disappears completely. It’s up to you to decide which one to choose.
Tabletop Biofireplace
Cost – from 3 000 rubles
Frequently in New Year and Christmas movies, a fireplace is an invariable attribute and symbol of these winter holidays. When there is a private house, the probability of appearance is much higher. In apartments, alas, even an artificial fireplace may simply not fit.
And now there’s a very recent solution for anyone who wants but can’t afford a fireplace – a tabletop bio fireplace.
The table-top biofireplace is a compact solution for creating coziness in your apartment. It is characterized by the use of environmentally friendly fuel, which does not emit smoke, cinders and toxic vapors. Tabletop fireplaces have a beautiful and original design, easy to operate and install, and safe to use. So this option can be a great gift for the New Year
Home Planetarium
Cost – from 2,500 rubles
Cosmos, planets, stars – always something appealing and mesmerizing. And in winter, when the night sky is clear, some stars are much better and brighter to see. But not everyone wants to look at such beauty in the cold.
A great gift for these amateur astronomers is a home planetarium. Unlike cheap and simple starry sky projectors, these options look much more impressive and the picture is clearer on the walls and ceiling. This gift will appeal to kids and adults alike.
3D puzzles
Cost – from 600 rubles
New Year holidays are not only a time for rest, but also for various hobbies that you haven’t had time to do during the year.
3D puzzles are sets of elements for creating three-dimensional models. Unlike a constructor, you can only build one single model from them. However, it’s quite interesting and quite detailed.
The simpler versions are great for kids, but the more complex models can be fun for adults. The themes of the puzzles are quite different, so you will definitely be able to find what you need. Puzzles can be made of plastic, cardboard or even metal.
Incense Stand
Cost – from 1 000 rubles
In the last year or two a lot of attention has been paid to such things, which help to focus on one’s inner world, to be alone with oneself, to meditate, etc.
So if the person you want to give something to for New Year’s Eve is into something like this, an incense stand can be a great and, importantly, useful gift.
The beautiful figurines will complement the interior, especially when the incense is lit and the smoke drifts down the figurine.
Ecocube
Cost – from 500 rubles
And if your friend/relative/colleague/yourself/any other gift recipient loves New Year but deep down is looking forward to the coming of spring, then this gift will definitely fit.
The ecocube comes with a small amount of soil, seeds of the plant you choose when you buy it, and care instructions. If you start growing the plant on New Year’s Eve, you can plant it in the spring when the snow finally melts and it gets warmer outside. It’s a pleasant activity, and the wait for spring won’t be so long.
