Tips for choosing a gift
It is better to prepare in advance for buying or making a gift for your beloved aunt. It is useful to meet with her more often; perhaps she will accidentally tell you about her desires. It’s a good idea to go to your aunt’s house and see if something has broken or broken in her house, and she really needs this thing.
Age must be taken into account. An elderly aunt may not like ultra-modern youth things, and a young aunt may be upset if she is given woolen socks or an Orenburg scarf.
What things should you not give to your aunt? These are banal typographic cards with congratulations, money, gifts with a hint, clothes and some extreme gifts in the form of skydiving or rock climbing courses.
A good addition to the main gift would be poems of your own composition, as well as an appropriate song performed by you.
Choosing a gift for any occasion: New Year, birthday, anniversary or March 8th is an interesting and exciting activity. Get creative with it. And don't forget about the flowers!

Vase from a bottle
• Aunts, as a rule, are economical women; they will like everything that concerns the home, for example, a bottle vase is a worthwhile gift.
Choose an empty glass container, wash it, and dry it. Paste the decor on top. There are no limits to your imagination here. You can roll a bottle coated with glue in sand, and after drying, place shells, paper or plastic figures, and marine-themed stickers on top of it. We wrote about this in more detail here. It is better to choose a wide neck for the bottle. Although, with the fashion of giving a small bouquet or a single flower, the standard option is also useful.

Barbecue from a barrel
A birthday is a memorable holiday. To make it also appetizing, you can present your bosom friend with a grill. Now he will remember his birthday every time the aroma of burning wood fills the space with the anticipation of juicy kebabs. This barbecue can be made with your own hands if you know how to work with welding and a grinder. Progress:
- cut off the top of the barrel using a grinder - this will be the lid;
- We grind all cuts from burrs to smoothness;
- We weld the legs to the grill (you can take profile round/square ones);
- The legs for the grill should first be sharpened so that they stick well to the ground;
- you can choose a barbecue grill or a skewer holder for the barrel - or all included;
- so that the lid opens/closes, we place it on special hinges;
- The final touch is to weld the handle holder to the lid.
Advice. To make the grill look like a gift, you should paint it with heat-resistant paint.
