10 Christmas gifts for your best friend

A flashlight is always useful on the farm, especially if it has good brightness. Such a device is not cheap (1000-3000 rubles), so not every person buys it on their own. That is why the lighting device will be the best gift for the New Year. It is not necessary to buy an ordinary universal flashlight. If a friend has interesting hobbies like hunting or fishing, you can pick up a special model for these purposes. Also, various stores sell ultraviolet flashlights and mini-devices that need to be attached to bicycles or scooters. It is worth giving preference to models in a durable metal case with a rechargeable battery and several operating modes.

All kinds of gadget accessories lead the list of budget gifts for friends. For example, a magnetic holder for a smartphone in a car is sure to come in handy, while its average price rarely exceeds 1000 rubles. Such products are usually mounted on the air duct, providing the driver with complete freedom of action. They are available in different colors, so you can choose an accessory for every taste. There are even models with wireless charging, but they are more expensive.
