“Don’t give me just anything!”, or the worst gifts for March 8

In the 21st century, everything has turned upside down. In Soviet times, a woman was happy to receive absolutely any gift - just a signed card was already considered a sign of good taste and was regarded by ladies as a sign of attention. What can we say about such a generous gift during the USSR, like a food set, when stores rarely had anything like that on the shelves, and on March 8 a woman could receive a small basket with sweets, champagne, a stick of sausage - happiness knew no bounds .

What about today? You can hardly impress modern ladies with a basket of even the most delicious food. There is sometimes an ironic joke among men: “Fur coats and diamonds in exchange for socks and shower gel.” Well, we can argue for a long time about the situation that has developed in society. After all, in fact, there is no international men's day, but March 8 comes every year, and every male representative rushes to the store to choose for his one and only the gift that she will like. And then try to please her, because it is known that there is a list of certain items that girls do not particularly like to receive.

Appliances

It looks like a banal attempt to kill two birds with one stone: to congratulate your beloved and to acquire equipment. Especially if you live together. Although technology is different.An inexpensive toaster, mixer or hairdryer - agree that you can buy them on absolutely any other day and not tie the gift to a specific day.

True, if your woman has been dreaming of something for a long time that she cannot afford or still doesn’t have time to go to the store and buy the treasured equipment, then why not?

Kitchenware

Pots, pans, a set of plates or salad bowls - all this is considered in most cases as redneck. Although, again, if the girl asked for it herself, then the issue can be considered resolved. And the wolves are fed, and the sheep are safe.

Scales

Most women regard such a gift as a hint that she is fat. And supposedly the man wants to once again draw attention to her figure, making it clear that it’s high time to take care of herself. However, today you can buy scales even for 500 rubles, so ask her directly whether she needs them or not, and buy them any other day.

Medical devices

And this is absolutely a grandmother’s gift, especially if there are no health problems at all. Tonometers, glucometers, heating pads, inhalers, irrigators and others like them - don’t even consider them as an option. If we talk specifically about this category of products, then the most suitable would be various applicators, massage mats, orthopedic pillows, an inhaler - everything that is intended for personal use. Although it would be useful to ask your lady if she needs this, so as not to listen to complaints later that you are burying her.

Cosmetics

This is from the taboo category. Never give a woman cosmetics at your own discretion. The choice of such means is sometimes a whole ritual. Sometimes even a girl herself cannot find something suitable, let alone a man who rarely understands the essence of all the inscriptions on jars and boxes.Leave the purchase of cosmetics up to the girl herself. As a last resort, give her money - she will figure out what she needs.

An exception can only be if your beloved herself asked you about it, and you know exactly what to buy in the store.

Animals

Without approval, it’s not even worth trying. Firstly, a person may have allergies. Secondly, he simply does not have enough time to care for the pet. Thirdly... however, the first two points are enough. If you give an animal without discussion and consent from the lady of your heart, then in the end both she and the animal itself will suffer.

Of course, the list could be continued almost endlessly. It is clear that all of us, women, have a different understanding of what this gift of March 8 should be. Personally, I would be happy with a new frying pan or even, I admit, a blood pressure monitor, but someone will be upset when they receive a blender, and at the same time will reproach the man every time that this is a hint - supposedly, a woman’s place is in the kitchen. All this, of course, is individual, and therefore any man, going to the store for a gift, must remember that only he alone knows how to please his lady of the heart.
