10 Christmas gifts for your best friend

In winter, a thermal mug will definitely come in handy. Thanks to a special material and coating, it will keep your favorite hot drinks warm for a long time. It is convenient to take such a vessel with you for walks and to the office, you just need to choose the optimal volume option. On sale there are not only classic plain cups, but also original products with beautiful patterns, including those on the theme of the New Year. Unfortunately, inexpensive thermal mugs often leak, and they also have a specific smell at first.Therefore, it is recommended to replace the branded packaging with a stylish gift box so that the aroma has time to fade. Also, do not choose the most budgetary goods. The optimal price is from 1000 rubles.

On the eve of the New Year, cosmetics manufacturers often release limited collections. They include universal means for festive make-up: highlighters, brilliant shadows, glitters.

Another unusual gift option is an advent calendar with skin care or decorative cosmetics. But it will definitely cost more than 2000 rubles.

A warm scarf or snood is the best gift for the New Year. It will help not only keep warm, but also create a stylish look for a walk in cold weather. Knitwear has not gone out of fashion for many years in a row; in different stores you can find accessories of any color and style.

Candles may seem like a useless gift, but many girls enjoy using them. A product with a pleasant aroma, decorated in the style of the New Year, will be a wonderful decoration of the interior. It is worth giving preference to traditional festive smells: citrus, coniferous trees, cinnamon and other spices. They will fill the room with freshness and help create a truly fabulous atmosphere. In some stores, there are themed compositions inspired by the universes of Harry Potter, Game of Thrones and The Lord of the Rings. This option will appeal to a friend who loves related stories.

For packaging, you only need a box of a suitable size and a filler, such as wood wool.

Due to quarantine, people began to spend a lot more time at home. There are meetings with friends and family, photo shoots and video shooting for social networks. If a friend pays special attention to the interior of her apartment, you can safely buy a night sky projector as a gift.

I am glad that the classic white diodes are also inside the ring, so the lamp is suitable for absolutely any purpose. It is powered by a network or power bank via a USB cable. The best solution would be a tripod kit to securely fix the device while shooting. Despite the growing popularity, quite budgetary ring lamps worth 2000–5000 rubles are still found in stores.
