An original gift to a man with his own hands

Sweets poster

For this gift, you will need various sweets (chocolates, candies, juices, etc.), markers, a poster, scotch tape.

19

Use your imagination to replace some of the words with the names of candies and chocolates. It is best to write the planned congratulations on the draft in advance, and then transfer it to the poster, fixing the sweets instead of words with tape.

Beer cake

20

To make such a beer cake, you will need a package of 30 cans of beer and three cardboard circles with a diameter of 30, 25 and 20 cm. Simply place the beer cans on the cake-shaped cardboard circles and tie with a ribbon.

The original presentation transforms even the most banal and budgetary gifts. Don't believe me? Then check out our tips on how to make a gift for February 23 from socks.

Socks here play, let's say, a secondary role. The main thing is the design of the suitcase.

You can compose the inscription and design yourself if you are good at graphic editors. You can use the ideas in our photos. We advise you to print the creation in a printing house or a copy center on self-adhesive paper - ordinary glued sheets of "Snow Maiden" will not look so realistic.

It is worth ordering the sheet size based on the parameters of the suitcase - the shoe box will perfectly fulfill this role. To prevent the suitcase from opening randomly, fasten it with strips of tape, drops of glue.

Sock cake

Components of the "dish":

• many sock pairs - how big do you want the cake;
• pens, pencils, ice cream or sushi sticks - in proportion to the number of pairs of socks;
• thick cardboard;
• thin rubber bands (those that are used to form packs of bills are the very thing);
• decor: ribbons, bows, ribbons.

And now the "recipe":

1. Unpack all socks, iron them with the heel up.
2. Now roll up neat rolls of them, simultaneously securing the creations with an elastic band.
3. Making a cake frame: put two rolled rolls on each stick. Frame width is the width of the top tier. Secure the structure with a pair of rubber bands at the base so that it does not fall apart.
4. Layer single sock rolls over the bottom row. Secure it with tape.
5. If the cake is three-tiered, then add two layers of rolls to the bottom row, and one to the middle one.
6. The composition can be crowned with a bow made of ribbons, a souvenir or a cute sock toy, the instructions for making which we will share with you further.
7. The product can be wrapped in transparent packaging from florist shops, tied with a bow on top.

Sock bouquet

From such seemingly completely unromantic improvised means, one can create such beauty, the price of which, by the way, is quite symbolic.

Inspired? Now closer to the point - stock up on materials:

• the first item is, of course, socks (1 piece - 1 bud);
• sushi sticks or similar materials;
• thin rubber bands;
• safety pins;
• any different decor: burlap, floral mesh, corrugated paper, ribbons, ribbons, artificial inflorescences, branches, etc.

Instructions:

1. Unpack your socks... The most attentive noticed that one sock will be superfluous anyway (an even number of flowers, even socks, to give, alas, etiquette does not allow) - it will serve as a fixation of the bouquet.
2. Fold the "black roses" (or white, or colored - what kind of socks you stocked up) in half, bending them at the heel.
3. Roll the product into a roll-bud... To prevent it from falling apart, secure it with a pin. Now put it on the stick. Repeat this with all branches.

1. Tie the bases of the sticks with rubber bands.
2. Now it's time for your fantasy to manifest - arrange, decorate the bouquet as the impulse of inspiration prompts. By the way, instead of corrugated paper, you can use a towel, a handkerchief.

3. Muzzle - you can just insert the handle into the tower, or paint it, wrap it with foil or the same toe in a spiral. To prevent the sock from unfolding, fix it on the handle with a solid thread or thin tape.
4. The base is attached to the booth with a tape. In addition to the ribbon, you can decorate the creation with a star sticker, figures of tankers.

Advice! Popular compositions where a bottle of beer serves as the barrel of a tank (video in this article below). When creating it, keep in mind that the glass container is heavy and can flatten the sock rollers. In this case, make a roll of two socks and roll it up as tightly as possible.

Alternatively, you can replace the sock rolls with canned beer, fastening the containers together with the same "eights" made of rubber bands.

Video instruction to help you:

Army hare

The most important element is a khaki sock. To create a fun toy with your own hands, be prepared to donate to it.

Also useful:

• filler - cotton wool, synthetic winterizer;
• two buttons for the peephole;
• threads;
• needle;
• scissors;
• pencil;
• knitting needles (we will not knit).

Birth of a toy:

1. Iron the sock.
2. Cut off the sock and side (elastic at the base) from it - but do not throw it away.

1. Fold the garments with the heel up. Above it, on the part of the sock that "hugs" the Achilles heel, draw the outlines of the bunny ears.

1. Cut out the ears along the outline, then turn the sock inside out, pin and sew carefully.
2. Having turned the future bunny back onto the front side, fill the product with padding polyester. The needle is useful for pushing the material evenly into your ears.

1. Tighten the hole on the back of the animal with a thread.
2. Take one of the scraps, cut a circle out of it - a tail. Put a little padding polyester in the middle, also tighten with a thread and sew the tail to the bunny.
3. Embroider the mouth, nose, antennae with contrasting threads. Sew on eyelet buttons criss-cross for a bold look.

That's all that we wanted to tell you about the gift of socks for 23. In conclusion, we wish you a wonderful celebration! Happy Defender of the Fatherland!

It is customary to give gifts for February 23 to men as harsh as the heroes of the occasion themselves. However, there is an unspoken list of gifts among men that they would not want to receive on this holiday of courage. The editors of the site "AiF-Novosibirsk" found out what kind of gifts they were during a survey and made their own rating.

First place: socks

The most unwanted gift, according to men, are socks. Many do not consider them a gift at all. And really: would a girl or woman be pleased to receive a pack of socks on March 8th? Even if not classic black, but pink or flowered.

If you really want to give socks, you can get out of the situation. Look for the original ones, or better link them yourself. Suddenly, in winter frosts, they will come in handy.

Second place: underwear

The man is not happy with underwear, you can try to give a bathing uniform. Photo: AiF / Svetlana Eremenko Men like to admire lingerie on their ladies, but not on themselves. As if trying to pass off as a gift what is, in fact, an everyday purchase, did not offend your brother, husband or father! Worse than underwear, the interviewed men confessed, there can be only male erotic underwear in the form of elephants and bananas.

It is not worth giving such a gift to men if February 23 is not another day off for you, but a real holiday. You can get out of the situation if you donate a bathing set for the pool.

Third place: shaving kit

Disposable razors, pre- and post-shave lotions, foams - all this is actively bought up before the holiday. But is it worth giving? Roman, a programmer from Novosibirsk, who took part in the poll of the editorial board of AiF-Novosibirsk, said: “Many people have foam and other shaving accessories that have not been opened since the New Year, and some have it since last February 23rd. Why turn the bathroom into a branch of a cosmetic store. "

Indeed, why give away what you already have, even if shaving accessories seem like a practical gift.
