Gifts up to 10,000 rubles
Today we have to choose gifts for 10,000 rubles. Forward to the search? Of course! Let's just clarify the conditions of the task. Who will we give it to? What's the occasion? And here are the miracles! The available amount suddenly begins to surprise with unexpected metamorphoses. Sometimes it seems large and weighty, then it shrinks to the size of the tip of a sewing needle, and go patch up a huge gap in the gift budget with it. What is she really like? Will it be more than enough, or will you have to quickly look for additional resources? Let's figure it out together.
Is ten thousand rubles a lot or a little?
The officially established living wage in Russia in the second half of this year for the first time exceeded the level of 10 thousand rubles. That is, somewhere up there they suggested that you can live on this amount for a whole month, and somewhere down there there are those who, for lack of more, are forced to diligently confirm this assumption.
But let's not jump to conclusions about how bad things are with us. In the same country, bills for just one evening spent with friends in a so-so average restaurant often exceed the specified amount. And it's not that I didn't feel the richer shores. The middle manager has a broad Russian soul, you see. Therefore, it was not there – we live once!
So, ten thousand rubles is not a small or big one, but just a round sum, which, if you manage wisely, will even be enough for a gift worthy of a VIP, let alone all the others. We borrow the slogan from the theorists of socialism: "To each according to his needs!". We try our best to determine the needs of the recipient of the gift. And to make it easier, let's try to try on one of the types listed below.
A practical worker
"They always have a warm hut,
Bread is baked, kvass is delicious,
The guys are healthy and well fed,
There is an extra piece for the holiday..."
Having slightly changed the word classic, we get the most common psychological portrait of the Russian recipient of a middle-aged gift, which can be a woman and a man. And this group is perhaps the most numerous. They don't live without problems, they just prefer not to dwell on them. Like, who's having it easy now? Instead of whining about hardships, they patiently work every day, looking for new opportunities and sooner or later they find them. Housewarming, wedding, children – everything goes their way.
No, they won't go on credit just to buy a hyped gadget of the latest model, and then pamper themselves with instant noodles for a couple of years and then every other day. There is an opportunity to expand the living space – they will not miss it, there is a chance to upgrade a family car – they will take advantage, but again without risks, fanaticism and empty bragging.
Everything from mobile communication to toothpaste is simple, functional, proven and reliable, without unnecessary spending on delights, but also without adjustments for poor quality from excessive greed. The gift for them should be the same. If there is a lamp or a wall clock, then it should not be required to completely change the interior. If the dishes are such that they are appropriate on the table on weekdays and holidays. A gift can be for the home, or purely personal, but it should not disrupt the usual way of life and get out of the general rhythm of life.
Because she's a woman!
The average Russian woman, if she has 10,000 rubles in her hands, will be able to dispose of it in a way that even the most practical man cannot. But this is not out of love for austerity, but because I had to learn. She will, of course, be pleased with the gift of new curtains and a bedspread, and thank you for the latest squeak of technological progress in her kitchen. But what kind of prose is all this, and I want poetry so much!
There may not be enough money for a solemnly shining diamond ode, but the sonnet can turn out to be very inspired. A mind–blowing vase made of Murano glass, a birch bark casket with gem inserts, a designer watchband - without all this, a woman can easily live for a long time, only boring, and therefore not very happy. It is necessary to make happy, at least sometimes. After all, only a woman knows how to enjoy a ten-thousand-dollar trinket as if it were worth at least a million.
Children's capital
A child, especially a small one, is pleased even with penny gifts from a bunny. The craving for expensive smartphones and branded clothes wakes up closer to adolescence. And until this ruinous moment, adults amuse themselves with handing over expensive gifts, not an unreasonable child.
But there are also special cases in children's life. Birth, christening are common causes for everyone, and the first achievement in the field of science, art or in another non–childish field is the lot of the especially brilliant. Gift spoons, mugs, rattles made of silver are good for babies. Memorable author's souvenirs can be given to those who are older. And this is not pampering, but another family heirloom.
So they have everything
In this group, we will talk about those whose wealth is much higher than average, for whom 10,000 rubles is a pair of five thousand bills for small expenses. Buying a cheap gift is excluded. But how to fit an expensive one into the existing budget?
There is an obvious advantage to this seemingly dead-end situation. Here he is a welcome and rare case when it is possible and necessary to spit from a high bell tower on practicality, usefulness, prudence. The culprit of your painful searches has all this in abundance, otherwise he would not be successful. To add a small original touch to his life picture, which shimmers with all shades of luxury, is your task. It's not complicated if you take a good look at the picture.
So, what do we see? A tastefully decorated office. There's definitely something missing here. A stained oak flash card will perfectly fit into the surrounding environment. And here is the hallway with a bronze decor. Don't you think that a shoe spoon cast in bronze in the form of a horse or a cute pug is just waiting to get a permanent residence permit in this cozy corner?
He has a small weakness: he cannot deny himself a glass of cognac before going to bed. Why not present an exclusive cognac bottle? Does she mind showing off her great-grandmother's collection of porcelain elephants? Then her one more author's figurine will be enough to cause her to hear sincere gratitude.
A little bit of observation, attention and the list of expensive little things mentioned can be expanded indefinitely. The basic principle of choosing a gift: less is better, yes it is better. Everything else depends on the circumstances and mood.
One gift from everyone
Buying a corporate gift of a designated value is also a common thing. The amount is zero, but it is not burdensome for the budget of a more or less reputable enterprise. Formal decency has been observed, it remains to observe the canons.
On official dates, it is customary to offer to buy souvenirs with state symbols, such as a gilded business card holder with the Russian coat of arms, executed by the masters of Zlatoust. Among the options that are less formal, but not inferior in solidity: table clocks, statuettes, cups made of natural stone or crystal, gift book editions. A brass cup holder, a silver tea set, a decorative plate, an expensive photo album or a branded pen can become a present with a hint of individuality, but without familiarity.
Filtering for speed
With the advent of online stores, it has become much easier to find a suitable gift for a specific occasion, for a specific recipient and within a given amount. It is enough to set the necessary filters and all possible options will appear before your eyes. The order is placed within a few minutes, delivery is possible anywhere in the world. In short, give gifts, and we will help you with this!
