Hello, dear friends! Today I decided to discuss with you such a topic as a gift for a man. But I would like to talk not about banal things, but about... gift certificates!
Nowadays there are many stores of different types, but how to choose from them the thing that your life partner would like?
Sometimes it can be difficult to do this, because even living for a long time with your boyfriend, it is probably difficult to find out what really interests him. Therefore, it is much easier to give a gift certificate and then the guy will have the opportunity to buy what he really wants.
But the question arises: what certificate to give a man, since there are a great many of them now divorced? I would recommend a gift certificate to a hardware store, but there are other, no less interesting, ideas that we will now discuss.
Gym membership
This is a banal option, but it is more relevant than ever, whether for a real bodybuilder or for a novice weightlifter. Subscriptions to good gyms cost a decent amount, and not every person can afford such luxury. Therefore, you can always help and give a gift that will help a man build the body of his dreams.
As a gift for a beginner, you can pay for the services of a trainer and thus facilitate the process of learning basic exercises. Regular athletes have the opportunity to renew their membership at the gym where they train. This will also be a pleasant gift for a man.
Checkbook of wishes for loved ones
A more advanced version of certificates is a checkbook of desires. It is done very simply and does not require any special skills. At the same time, it looks decent, and the content will definitely please your beloved man.
Work on your checkbook begins with the wishes that will be written on the coupons. Select those that you are ready to perform, and write them all in a suitable font on one sheet of paper in Word.
The second option for coupon design is themed pictures with inscriptions. They can be made in a graphics editor. In principle, Word can handle simple pictures and text.
Print out all the sheets that you will need for your work, then select the materials and tools, and you can start.
Step-by-step master class on assembling a checkbook of desires
To work, you will need designer paper or scrapbooking paper. It is quite dense and easy to work with. You will also need cardboard for the cover, printouts, decorations in the chosen style, good glue, scissors, a knife, a hole punch, album rings or string.
- Cut out the cover. Take thick cardboard, you can buy it, or you can cut it out of the box. The main thing is that it is even and the two pieces are identical to each other. The sizes can be any, rely on your printouts. They should not take up all the space on the page, and at the same time not get lost on it. Calculate the appropriate size of the pages, then add 5 mm on three sides, except for the spine, this will be the size of the cover.
- Wrap the cover in paper . Cut out a rectangle of paper 2 cm larger on each side than the cover, cut off the corners, and glue the cover to the paper, folding the edges. On the back side, glue another piece of paper, which is 5 mm smaller on each side than the cover.
- Decorating the cover. The finished cover can be decorated with an inscription and suitable decor. Use pictures, scraps of paper, cogs, gears, and other elements of masculine style.
- Preparing the pages. Now you can collect pages that will be coupons or checks for the fulfillment of a wish. Cut out pages of the pre-calculated size from scrap paper. Glue on it inscriptions, pictures, decorations that suit the meaning. You can also add a signature tag on the back that your wish has been fulfilled.
When creating a checkbook, a whole sheet, not a page, is allocated for one wish; you cannot make the next wish on the other side of the sheet. Then the meaning will be distorted, because in theory the sheet with the wish used should be taken out of the book, although many, of course, keep it as a keepsake.
- The last stage is assembly. Now all the leaves and the cover need to be punched with a hole punch so that the holes are at the same level for each sheet. Then simply connect all the sheets with metal rings or jute cord, depending on what you have at home or what suits your style best.
- Package. Finally, you can make a worthy package for your gift. Glue the box to the size of a checkbook or wrap it in beautiful paper and tie it with a ribbon.

All couples in love have enough holidays a year to please each other with large gifts and small things. Many have already bought all the necessary things for each other, and now they want to surprise their loved ones. If this is your case, then an original idea for a surprise in the form of a gift certificate or a checkbook of wishes, which can be made using ready-made templates and a printer, or printed pictures and inscriptions and handmade decorations, will suit you.
Gift certificate to a sports nutrition store
This is a second win-win option for the athlete. And all because sports nutrition is a fairly expensive product on the modern market. Sometimes, choosing the right jar yourself is quite problematic, since there are many nuances. The gift certificate will allow the man to choose the product he needs.
If a man has just started playing sports and is not yet using additional supplements, then you should not refuse this option, as this is a great way to start qualitatively improving your body.
Do not think that sports supplements contain any harmful components that significantly affect the quality of life. For the most part, such nutrition contains only natural ingredients and vitamins that improve muscle growth. Therefore, you should not give up on this option.
How to choose a quality coupon
In order for a person’s impressions to be truly colorful and vibrant, you will need to not only study his desires and hobbies. It is very important to choose a good certificate, or rather a company that provides services.
This may sound complicated, but in fact everything is quite simple: just follow a few points. Let's make a little plan to make finding a quality gift easier. When you choose a certificate, pay attention to the following details:
- The place where the coupon is sold. Make purchases only from the companies themselves or trusted online stores that specialize in this type of congratulations.
- Reviews about the seller and the service itself. Keep in mind that the lack of comments or the company’s short tenure increases the risks. Try to avoid sellers who cannot confirm the quality of their goods.
- Appearance of the certificate. Crumpled coupons made from poor materials clearly indicate the level of service of the company. Also, all reputable sellers prefer to use decorative elements to attract buyers. Their complete absence is not the best sign.
If you're not sure whether purchasing a coupon is a good idea, you should choose a different gift. Certificates require a decent investment of time. Be sure to prepare for the holiday in advance: who knows, maybe you will have difficulties choosing a coupon?
Certificates of Interest
There is quite an extensive list and there is a lot to roam around. You can fulfill the recipient’s long-standing dream and give him a certificate for some master class. An extreme sports enthusiast will definitely enjoy a certificate for a paragliding, helicopter or parachute jumping service.
A car enthusiast will appreciate a gift certificate that gives him the opportunity to drive a cool sports car, or gain skills in drifting and extreme driving. The choice is quite wide, you just need to use your imagination.
Examples of good congratulations
beauty and health
What could be more important than keeping yourself in shape? A beauty salon is an unusual, even a little strange solution. Of course, men are relatively rarely concerned about their beauty, but health procedures will not hurt anyone. People who work a lot will appreciate a relaxing massage. The situation is similar with spa treatments, which will help calm your nerves and improve your health.
Hobbies
This is the most popular method. Most often, certificates are purchased for fishing, visiting a fitness center, ski resorts, and a water park. A coupon for purchasing parts will also be extremely useful if a man’s hobby is somehow related to technology.
Thematic
For a birthday, we recommend choosing bright options. It could be something sporting or just festive (for example, a coupon for a jet ski or trampoline).
On an anniversary, romantic gifts such as a horse ride or dinner on a boat would be especially appropriate.
On February 23, it is customary to give military-themed sports gifts. This could be flying a combat aircraft or taking shooting lessons.
Now you know what certificates to give a man. I hope this article will help you with your choice. Goodbye, dear readers! I wish you to choose the best gift for your beloved man! See you!
Certificate for services at Barbershop
A great gift for men who always strive to look as brutal and well-groomed as possible. Barbershop is a territory for men. This place is significantly different from a women's hairdresser. This establishment offers not a cup of coffee, but good whiskey. And instead of watching music videos, they offer to evaluate modern video games.
A man can use the gift certificate to both update his image and purchase personal care products. Barbershop offers professional services not only for haircuts, but also for beard and mustache care. Most men will definitely appreciate such a gift.
Filling
What to write inside and how to do it? The options are different. You can take a ready-made template, but it will be useful to use your imagination. After all, only you know what the chosen one wants, and what desires are worth fulfilling for him! Remember the main thing - it’s up to you to fulfill your wishes. And if you decide on such a gift, there is no turning back - you will have to easily and joyfully do everything that you write yourself. If he is not a big fan of cinemas, for example, then the desire to “go to the cinema” will not delight him. Write only what he likes!
Points are a completely optional part of this gift. You decide for yourself how to design it and on what principle to do it. If you don’t like the points, you can make another condition - for example, any one wish every day. You decide! There can be much more desires than on standard templates. Listen to what your chosen one wants, and he will be happy.
To ensure that your gift brings maximum joy and pleasure, do not make it standard, strictly adhering to templates. Imagine! In any master class or lesson there is always room for imagination and creativity, so add something of your own, take into account the wishes of your chosen one and be ready to make him happy!
Universal certificates
If a man keeps his interests secret, and he does not have a beard or mustache, then you can use universal certificates. Such gifts are the most banal and boring, but they will definitely be used. As a similar option, you can offer: a gift certificate to a household appliances store, a grocery hypermarket, a bookstore, a swimming pool or a perfume store.
Of course, it is best to choose a gift based on the man’s interests. In this case, he receives not just a card, but a whole bouquet of emotions. But in extreme cases, you can resort to universal gifts.
Pros and cons of certificates as a gift
So, such coupons began to gain popularity quite recently. However, their difference from ordinary things is not so significant. Despite the fact that a certificate allows you to receive any services, it is often perceived as an incomprehensible piece of paper. But is it? Let's consider.
Undoubtedly, such a gift has its drawbacks. For example, it is extremely difficult to match the interests of a loved one. In addition, it should be understood that a bad attitude towards such congratulations applies not only to women, but also to men.
Coupons, contrary to popular belief, are quite expensive. Accordingly, this option is costly and even risky. However, there is no need to give up right away!
Let's move on to the advantages of this gift. The first thing that worries many of us is the uniqueness of the chosen idea. Does this thing stand out among others? A certificate is not the most popular way to congratulate a man. Therefore, it will be a rather unexpected gift. Besides this, there are several other advantages:
- the most effective option if it is related to a person’s hobby;
- compact, so it is easy to carry and also pack in a holiday box;
- just make it a surprise.
By considering the distinctive features of such a greeting, you can decide whether you want to use it. Coupons can be given on any holiday, so they are very versatile. For example, they are often purchased for the New Year.
With the help of such paper, you can easily hint something to your loved one, as well as create a fun or romantic atmosphere.
