For a 45-year-old man, this is a serious milestone. Youthful recklessness remained in the past, maturity and consciousness came. Time to reassess past values, increase the value of the family. There is still enough strength for deeds and there is a desire to perform them, but already prudently. On his birthday, my father would like to wish him good health, good spirits and give him something pleasant, useful and bringing positive emotions.
What do you need for this? There are many ideas for a gift to dad for 45 years. And only you can make the final choice based on your financial capabilities, tastes and interests of your father. Well, we will try to save your time and offer as many suitable options as possible.
Accessories, watches, jewelry
Let's start with one of the most popular gift categories. Jewelry and all kinds of accessories are often the first thing that people think about when choosing a presentation. What can you give dad:
- Wrist Watch... Today they are no longer so relevant with the presence of smartphones, but for many it is also status, convenience, time saving (sorry for the pun). Choose a watch based on your father's lifestyle. These can be both classic models with a steel strap, and sophisticated sports ones with great functionality (the same Garmin). Smart watches, fitness bracelets will allow you to constantly stay up to date thanks to being linked to the phone, as well as track personal activity and other data.
- Jewelry... Men are usually presented with bracelets, rings and pendants. What style, metal and symbolism should you choose? Here you need to take a closer look at what your dad is wearing and what he is interested in. Maybe only the classics in gold or the Slavic symbols in silver will suit him.
- Accessories... Also a good choice for a gift is a tie, a stylish leather belt, cufflinks (if wears suits and shirts), a purse. You can even order embossing or engraving on leather products. But it is worth doing this in advance.
If it is difficult to choose, consult with your mom. Over the years of marriage, she has studied her spouse well and will help you decide.
Home appliances and personal gadgets
In this section, you will always find something to give your father for 45 years. You are probably aware of what is in the house and what is missing personally for dad to be completely happy.
- EBook... If the father is a fan of reading, this will be a wonderful present. The reader takes up little space, has a long battery life and can replace thousands of paper books.
- Headphones, portable speaker or mp3 player... If your dad loves music, give him the pleasure of good sound or the ability to always have access to your favorite songs.
- The tablet... For home surfing the net or watching movies on the go, using a computer or laptop is not so convenient, and the smartphone screen is not large enough.
- Quality headsetif the father spends a lot of time behind the wheel of a car.
- Coffee machine or coffee maker, coffee grinder for the lover of an invigorating drink.
When choosing a gift for a personal holiday, you should pay attention to those gadgets that the father will use himself.
Food as a gift
Of course, today the assortment in stores is so wide that giving a grocery basket as a birthday present is somehow strange. But we have a different proposal.
- Coffee... If dad is still that coffee lover, give him a pack of good coffee, and with it a beautiful copper turk and a coffee cup.
- Tea... In a beautiful tin box, with unusual flavors and with a teapot. Or a set for a tea ceremony if the father is interested in Eastern culture.
- Edible bouquet... We will not offer sweets, but options from expensive cheese or cold cuts, dried fish and other "masculine" delicacies are the right bouquet for the holiday.
- Alcohol... It is not customary to give alcohol to women, but a man can appreciate high-quality whiskey, rum or expensive wine. If, of course, he drinks alcohol at all.
- Custom cake... Please dad with a delicious cake from a good pastry chef. And decorate the cake itself with a congratulatory inscription. Private pastry chefs make real works of art, and at the same time from quality products.
But, of course, these options can be an addition to the main present.
Certificates - how to please
Giving money for an anniversary from a daughter or from a son is an extreme case. Still, you expect an interesting gift from loved ones. If it is difficult to dwell on a specific present, choose a field or direction, and order a gift certificate. What could it be:
- Massage course... Whether the father is engaged in physical work or, on the contrary, works at the computer, a course of therapeutic massage will definitely not interfere with him.
- Hunting Fishing... Choosing a new thing is always no less exciting than receiving it as a gift. The father knows exactly what stocks he needs to replenish. And it will be easier for you not to be mistaken.
- Hobby shop... You can always find either a physical store or an online marketplace that sells the necessary tools and materials.
- Car shop... The car enthusiast will always find something to buy for his favorite vehicle.
- Clothing store or specialized equipment. Depending on what your father usually wears.
- Gunsmith... Maybe he just wanted to replenish the collection of knives or buy a crossbow.
- Watches and jewelry... If you are afraid not to guess with the choice of a ring or a new watch, leave the choice to the parent himself.
- Perfumery... A men's cologne or eau de toilette is no easier to pick up than a women's perfume. So it's better to let the father find the scent that suits him.
A pleasant trifle can be attached to the certificate or combined with any other category.
Hobby Gift
Almost every person has a hobby, and sometimes more than one. Some enjoy cycling, others catch the wind in the face on a motorcycle, for others there is nothing more interesting than closing in a garage with a bunch of parts and going out with something completely new. In general, your father probably has a hobby. So if you are thinking of what to give your father for his 45th birthday, feel free to support his interests.
- Motorcyclist... You can give him something from a body kit, taking into account the needs and style of the motorcycle (for example, new trunks), equipment (jacket, helmet, pants, gloves, shoes), tools, portable speaker, helmet headset, heated grips.
- Motorist... If your father has a car, you can present something useful for your favorite iron horse - seat covers, a vacuum cleaner for the salon, a video recorder, a media system, convenient organizers, a thermo mug, a phone holder.
- Tourist... If dad loves hiking and loves outdoor recreation, it is appropriate to give a good tourist knife, a set of camping utensils, a burner, a thermos, a sleeping bag, a tent, a good flashlight, trekking boots, and thermal underwear for his forty-fifth birthday. A brazier and grill set, a comfortable hammock or an inflatable chair are also good choices.
- Cyclist... Additional cycling clothing (jersey, shorts, pants), gloves, water bottles, a buff (multifunctional scarf), a comfortable backpack, a drinking system, a navigator will never interfere with pedaling enthusiastically.
- Fisherman... Dad can't imagine life without fishing? If you yourself are not versed in tackle, opt for comfortable clothing, hiking gear, outfit.
- Inventor... If the father loves to fix something, collect new things from old and heaps of unnecessary parts, a suitcase of good tools will be a great present.
- Sportsman... Your father can't live a week without exercise? In this case, you should give him good dumbbells, a simulator, an expander, a training uniform or a bag for a uniform, boxing gloves,
- Smoker... You can give your father a pipe and quality tobacco for it, a cigarette case with a set of cigars, or even an electronic cigarette.
Sons, of course, find it somewhat easier to choose things from most of these points. But daughters can always consult sellers in thematic stores.
Impressions as a gift
Want to excel? Give non-trivial gifts. In order for the father to remember the present on the good side for a long time, it is worth giving him impressions. This is an unusual choice, but it will definitely not leave your father indifferent. If you choose the right one, of course. From innocent entertainment to extreme, it depends on the interests and desires of the father, his hobbies and state of health.
- Skydiving or hang gliding. If there is no fear of heights, heart problems and serious injuries, you can think about such an extreme gift. But only if the father himself once spoke of such a desire.
- Quad bike ride... A rare man does not like to ride off-road with a breeze. And for an ATV under the guidance of an instructor, it is not even necessary to have a car license.
- Horseback riding... If the father loves these animals and was happy to tell him that he would like to ride - it's time to try.
- Master Class... From cooking to wood burning. Anything that might interest him.
- Balloon flight... Akin to the first point, but there are still unforgettable impressions and romance of travel.
- Recording a song or music... Is your father a musician? Then recording his playing or performing a song can become a small dream come true.
- A trip to an interesting place... Alone or together with his wife - here it already depends on the place and format of the rest.
The impressions cannot be touched, but they will remain in the memory and in the photographs. You can talk about them, re-experiencing exciting emotions in your thoughts.
Budget gifts
There is not always a large amount of free access for a gift, even for the closest people. Due to life circumstances or due to age, intense study, which does not leave time and energy for part-time work. But that doesn't mean an inexpensive gift is bad.
- Mug with print - a funny inscription, drawing or even a photograph - this mug will surely become his favorite.
- Key ring with personalized engraving.
- Funky print T-shirt... It can also be customized.
- Prefabricated model your favorite car or motorcycle.
- Stylish diary.
- Diploma or order for the best role of a father (touching and pleasant).
All these gifts will cost a small amount, but they will show that you sincerely wanted to please your loved one and chose a present for him carefully and with love.
What not to give dad for an anniversary
Of course, a parent will be happy with any gift from his child. But still, there are things that may not please, but upset:
- Medicines... Even if they are necessary, this is not what you hope to get on your birthday. I want a holiday, fun, and here is a reminder of my illnesses. Better enter on any ordinary day, and now please with something for the soul.
- Pet... If you did not discuss with your father, and he did not talk about his ardent desire to have a pet, you should not bring a kitten, puppy, turtle or any other living creature as a gift. After all, this is responsibility and costs (food, treatment, care). Is your dad ready for this and, most importantly, does he need?
In fact, to choose the perfect gift for your father, all you have to do is listen to your heart, be attentive to the parent's hobbies and remember what he is talking about. From this, you can easily learn about the desires and dreams of a loved one.
