If a person knows how to make cool things and accessories, then you can present as a surprise a belt or bag made of solid fabric, which was created according to individual patterns.

What should not give a friend
There is a category of gifts that should not be presented, even if the friendship lasts for many years. No need to give an ordinary statuette, bought at a sale - a simple souvenir can offend a person. Any object that is considered as a birthday present should be useful, so you should immediately abandon the options with towels, socks or underwear from the category of "week."
It is important to take into account that a poor gift is a common and popular product - fluffy key chains, sets of plastic dishes with a cheerful pattern, a cosmetic bag or organizer for a handbag.
It is necessary to abandon the idea of giving away some thing that was unnecessary - she will continue to gather dust on the shelf, only now with a friend, and also will be a cause for resentment, especially if the gift was presented to a mutual friend. Mugs, T-shirts, small towels are not suitable for celebrations.
When choosing a gift, it is important to take into account the marital status of the birthday girl - a trip to a nightclub as a gift will not be suitable for a married girlfriend. Also, gifts should not be in doubt and suggest thoughts.
Need to give up the idea to donate:
- toothpaste set;
- breath freshener;
- weight scales for weight control;
- items reminiscent of moments associated with negative emotions;
- deodorant that prevents the formation of sweat;
- slimming video courses.
Such decisions can be a cause for a quarrel or breakup, even if the choice was made without malicious intent.
