8 ideas of original gifts for the New Year for friends and family

The New Year is just around the corner, which means it's time to think about what gifts you will give to friends and family to really please them. And let it be not banal cosmetic kits, souvenirs with the image of an animal symbol of the year or, worse, socks, but something really worthwhile.

You can see 8 original gift ideas below.

An ideal gift for creative people, which will allow them to bring their ideas to life. A 3D pen will be useful for both professional artists and children. Just imagine how much fun they will get from drawing interesting three-dimensional objects! And the best part is that the price for such pens is quite democratic — from 900 rubles.

You can say that the cup also refers to banal gifts, but we we are ready to argue with you — it all depends on what kind of cup to give. For example, on AliExpress you can find mugs with compartments for cookies or cups with very cute unusual designs. How do you like this snowman with a cap in the form of a hat?

A great gift for business people and just for those who like to keep secrets. With this book, all your secrets will remain securely hidden, because no one will guess that a real safe is hidden behind a simple cover! It's like in the best detective films! Well, who wouldn't like that?

Even a pillow can be a great gift if it is chosen with imagination and taste. It can be a doughnut pillow with an appetizing multicolored sprinkle, and a pillow in the form of a huge cat, or just pillows with beautiful drawings - these will definitely not lie in the closet and will take pride of place on the sofa.

They say that it is impossible to give a watch, but this is just another unsubstantiated sign. And we are talking, rather, about a wristwatch. But who said that you can't give wall paintings? This original flowing clock, inspired by the painting "The Permanence of Memory", will definitely surprise the recipient of the gift and will be an excellent interior decoration. And if a person is also a fan of the work of Salvador Dali, success is guaranteed for you!

Personalized gifts can also be interesting, if it's not a cup and a keychain. You can order a friend a statuette with his image, a personalized flask, an engraved necklace and much more. There are quite a lot of options for personalized gifts, and to choose, it is enough to know a person and his preferences well.

If your friend has a sweet tooth, please him with a device for self-cooking various sweets. For example, you can present him with a chocolate fountain, which will also become a wonderful decoration of the festive table, or a machine for creating popcorn.

Every active smartphone user needs a power bank that will allow him to stay connected even when the phone is completely discharged. Your friends probably already have ordinary external batteries in the form of awkward rectangular boxes. But a gadget with an unusual cute design can pleasantly surprise them and become an excellent addition to the standard set of "instagrammer".
