Previously, February 23 was a holiday of people who are related to military service and was called accordingly - the Day of Defenders of the Fatherland. However, now in Russia it is a kind of Men’s Day, regardless of their affiliation with military service.

TOP 10 gift ideas for February 23
I have placed the ten most useful, original and modern, in my opinion, gifts at the beginning of the article.
Set of tools
A real man's gift. With him, any man will become a jack of all trades. And if he is already like this, then he will be even more delighted with the present. And his household will be even more delighted, because now not a single nail in the house will remain unhammered.
Smart scales
Nowadays you won’t surprise anyone with ordinary scales, but smart scales are a different matter. There are many different models, I have these at home, from the Noerden brand. In addition to total body weight, they determine 8 other parameters, including:
- Muscle mass will be especially important for men who are involved in bodybuilding or have just decided to take it up.
- Body fat is exactly what we all want to get rid of.
- Hydration level – that is, water balance. The scale measures whether you have enough fluid in your body.
- Bone mass.
- Visceral fat is the most harmful and dangerous.
There are some other indicators, but these are the most important. Information is transferred from the scale to your mobile phone, any phone – suitable for both iOS and Android.
I bought them on Ozone. Here's a video about scales, watch it:
