Each holiday carries the expectation of magic, so children and adults are looking forward to the solemn moment. But the closer the event, the more you start to think about what. AT summary We will tell you in detail about the most necessary gifts.

Presents for children

The kids are looking forward to the holidays, but most often in the New Year's wishes they can't think of anything travel. Giving a tenth smartphone or another doll of the same type is a habit of adults, so it does not find an emotional response from a beloved child.

Passion for creativity, science or sports expands the scope of the usual gifts. A young musician will enjoy a few lessons with a real teacher or a coveted instrument. The artist can present:

• set of professional paints;
• Graphics tablet;
• training certificate.

The book has long been a universal gift, so the necessary illustrated encyclopedia will delight the young scientist. Is your child into sports? The best present become a stylish uniform or new accessories. A small collector will be happy with stamps or figurines of heroes.

Another character of the same type is unlikely to be a pleasant surprise. There are many toys that kids will love. Boys can safely ask for constructors or car models, and girls will like doll accessories (carriages, clothes) or dance mats.

The child likes Stuffed Toys? Then it is best to look after the original beast or trendy cartoon character. Do not give gifts that are not interesting to the kids. They will not cause a lot of positive emotions, but will cause irritation.

An interesting journey or a concert of your favorite artist will cheer up your child in New Year. You can use the services of special agencies of positive impressions, which have vast experience in organizing exciting quests. Even with a minimal budget, the company will pick up an event that is accessible to all financial possibilities.

Take the kids to an exciting show where they can participate

There are a huge number of one-time lessons that help the child have a great time. A master class on making soap or playing the African drums will be a chic gift for the occasion. Girls will love a professional photo session.

Pets

Does your child dream of a pet? On the eve of the holiday, you can give the desired animal. Remember: even the smallest animal requires responsibility and care from the baby. It is worth explaining to the child that this is not a living toy, but new member families with their own needs.

Gifts for adults

People often do not think about their innermost desires, preferring standard trinkets. However, the New Year is magical holiday why not ask for something out of the ordinary?

Women

The beautiful half of humanity loves surprises, so buying a gift becomes a headache for men. Remember that the lady will be offended if she is presented without her consent:

• gym membership;
• means for weight loss or cellulite;
• hygiene items;
• stationery;
• kitchen utensils.

We have identified a number of the most win-win gifts that women will love for the New Year 2018.

1. Decorations. Jewelry always awe in the souls of beauties. To guess, you should avoid extravagant or bulky decoration. If financial possibilities do not allow to purchase products from precious metals, then give preference to high-quality jewelry.
2. Gadgets. There are many little things that a lady will be happy to use. A flash drive, e-book or memory card for a smartphone will be a worthy present.
3. Linen. Such a gift is given only to close women. Remember: do not choose frankly vulgar outfits.
4. Photoshoot. Professional shooting will make the lady feel like a real model.
5. Beauty saloon. A certificate for visiting a SPA procedure is not cheap, but it will be a welcome gift for everyone.

men

A feature of the strong half of humanity is their practicality. Lovely trinkets that women love to give their chosen ones so much do not always resonate in the soul. A gift for a man must be useful.

1. Hobby. If there is some kind of hobby, then it is worth presenting the desired element. The fisherman will love the professional accessories, and the sportsman will be delighted with the necessary accessories.
2. A foodie's dream. Man love dear alcoholic drink or crazy about exclusive coffees? Please the person with the right purchase.
3. Gadgets. An original USB flash drive or adapter for charging will definitely come in handy for work. An electronic notebook or the right application for a smartphone will cause a lot of positive emotions.
4. Original. A funny set of alcohol games or a suitcase with a year's supply of socks can make any man laugh. Love the custom stationery.
5. Impression. A ticket to a concert of your favorite musician or a certificate for a fencing lesson will surprise even the most desperate pragmatists. Knowing the interests, you can quickly pick up an emotional present. Just do not approach the choice of gifts from the female side, since the representative of the stronger half is unlikely to like the performance of Bilan or Mikhailov.

We figured out what can ask Santa Claus for the New Year 2018. If finances are tight, then you should not demand expensive gifts from the donor. It is better to choose a more affordable one that will not become a burden to loved ones. It is important to thank for the gift received.

Everyone knows the lines nursery rhyme: “They say on New Year's Eve, whatever you wish, everything will always happen, everything always comes true!” Who fulfills all these millions new year wishes? Of course, Santa Claus! You don't believe in Santa Claus? It's a pity, then there is no one to fulfill your desires! After all, any miracle happens only if you believe in it. So once a year you can allow yourself to be a little child and let the fairy tale into ordinary life. What to ask Santa Claus? Probably something special, or maybe, on the contrary, something very ordinary?

Employees of the residence of the main Santa Claus of the country told what the children ask for the New Year's wizard. As it turned out, little residents of Russia dream of getting a gadget from a fairy-tale wizard. So, in the first place in the rating of desired New Year's gifts were tablets, followed by laptops and touch phones. In fourth place in popularity among kids is the iPhone 6. Next in the list of New Year's gifts are SLR cameras and mp3 players. It is noteworthy that in addition to technology and electronics, children ask for toys - Lego constructor and Monster High dolls, as well as a pet.

It is worth noting that in 2013 the most desirable dolls were Barbie and Bratz, as well as children's cosmetics and creative kits.

Among other things, modern children are increasingly writing to Santa Claus by e-mail, rather than sending paper letters.

Vyborg parents told the website what their children dream about:

Mine, as always, when she asked what he wants Santa Claus to give - he said - MASSINKA, - says Svetlana.

My daughter asked for a white Labrador, Irina smiles.

A gamer kit and a phone are the son’s desires,” Victor comments.

The son wrote this letter: “There is only one gift that I really want - an ipad! And if you can’t give it to me, then please give me roller skates, ”Elena laughs.

At the same time, a third of the messages come from adults. Unlike children, adults dream of a personal life, the birth of children, health, and year-round vacation without losing wages.

At one time I wanted a toy dump truck with a folding body, but they gave me a small set of tools. Since then, I realized that I need to either better formulate desires, or learn how to fulfill my desires myself, says Victor.

Yes, I somehow don’t remember what exactly I wanted from Santa Claus in my childhood, but certainly not a smartphone, they didn’t exist then. Although now I would like a new iPad, - says Anna.

Where to write a letter to Santa Claus? Denis asks.

On the 17th of November, a specialized train "For Grandfather Frost's Birthday" with young Muscovites left for Veliky Ustyug. According to an established tradition, twice a year, the city authorities send a fast train to the homeland of Santa Claus with the authors of the most interesting letters to the symbol of the New Year.

"In addition to the authors of the letters, this train carries guys from all districts of the city of Moscow - pupils of orphanages and social shelters, excellent students, winners of olympiads and competitions, members of creative teams and children's public associations that help organize and hold new year holidays in areas sponsored by orphanages, hospitals," the Moscow Public Relations Committee said in a statement.

Modern children dream not of traditional toys, but of high-tech gadgets. This is evidenced by the data of a study conducted by a well-known British company. The first three most desired gifts were Apple products. This, of course, new phone iPhone 4, iPod touch and iPad computer tablet. The fourth place went to the Kinect wireless controller for the Xbox 360. The fifth most desirable was the interactive hamster Zhu Zhu Pet Hamsters. The sixth place was taken by the Flip video camera.

The top 10 gifts also included a Buzz Lightyear costume from Toy Story 3, a PlayStation 3 Move controller, a LEGO Harry Potter video game, and a Barbie Video Girl doll with a video camera built into its chest.

This "hit parade" testifies to the rather adult tastes of children when choosing gifts. According to the study, this year, approximately 39 percent of children (among them - 17 percent from five to eight years old, 50 percent from nine to 12 years old and 66 percent from 13 to 16 years old) beg their parents for "apple" products.

The younger generation now owns an average of 39 toys or gadgets, twice as many as their parents had at the same age.

Despite the non-childish requests of children, psychologists note that children have become kinder. More and more children aged 5-12 years in their letters to Santa Claus prefer not to ask him for gifts, but to wish him good health. In letters, boys and girls wish Santa Claus a happy holiday and practically do not write about the gifts that they would like to receive. Many children will help fulfill such desires: so that grandmother gets better soon, mom and dad do not swear, a true friend there was no war...

“This year I have already received 80,000 letters. I have no doubt that before the New Year I will receive at least 120,000 letters. So far, there is only a small exposition in my house in Veliky Ustyug, but it will expand,” said the country’s chief magician.

Santa Claus said that now the children write to him about their good deeds, Happy New Year, and a rare letter contains the word "give". In his opinion, the letters that come to his mail are documents of the era, according to which they will then "study history," RIA Novosti reports.

True, not everyone knows the exact address of Santa Claus. Some indicate "Kremlin", others "North Pole", and still others "Magic Forest". The New Year's magician asked journalists to tell everyone his exact address where children can send letters.

the site found out what the offspring of artists dream of.

In the family of TV presenter Dmitry Dibrov, three boys believe in Santa Claus. First-grader Sasha, three-year-old Fedya and one and a half year old Ilyusha.

“Sasha wrote a letter to Santa Claus, and together we took him to the post office,” Polina Dibrova, a mother of many children, told TV Program. Sasha asked for Lego and a collection of cars. Of course, Santa Claus will bring them to him and leave them under the tree. Expecting gifts is a good motivator for a child. It happens that I remind you: there is a month left before the New Year, and Santa Claus sees how you behave, do not forget about it. Fedor asked for a car, and Ilyusha is still small, so he is unlikely to pay attention to another, “additional” toy, but we will give it, of course. Moreover, on the eve of the holiday we will have many guests and, accordingly, gifts.

All gifts are divided into pleasant for children and useful for parents. Although the main thing for our family is different. We traditionally decorate the house with Dima and the children, decorate the Christmas tree, turn on Tchaikovsky, play the piano, and be sure to go outside to sled. And I will definitely gather all the mothers from our street and organize for them and their children a fun and interesting holiday: with songs, dances and competitions.

The Zhirkov family

Yuri and Inna Zhirkov are raising 8-year-old Dima, 6-year-old Milan and one-year-old Daniel. Children in the family of a football player and a businesswoman have already decided on New Year's "requests".

“The kids wrote letters to Santa Claus, they believe in him,” says Inna Zhirkova. - We celebrate the New Year in a warm country by the sea, but this does not negate gifts for the kids. Yura and I will try to make the holiday memorable for them, so we will decorate the Christmas tree, start fireworks and invite Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden. We try to observe these traditions wherever we are. This year, the eldest son Dima will receive a Darth Vader costume from Grandfather Frost. He is a Star Wars fan, and this year we even organized my son's birthday in this style. Milana drew a sketch of her own outfit and asked me to sew it in my atelier MiloMil. The smallest member of our family - Danechka - we plan to give Yura a toy railway. He is actively interested in a variety of cars, trains.

Actress Valentina Rubtsova and her husband Artur Martirosyan with their 5-year-old daughter Sofia will celebrate the New Year in Sochi.

Sonechka will receive a bicycle as a gift. But it will be a surprise for her! Valentina says. “However, the most important gift for our entire family will be the sea, clean air and cypress trees.

Badoeva family

TV presenter Zhanna Badoeva's son and daughter grew up, but this does not negate New Year's miracles. For 18-year-old Boris and 11-year-old Lolita, a responsible mother is already preparing surprises.

“The preferences of my children have hardly changed with age,” Zhanna admits. - Both Boris and Lolita grew up as very creative children. Borya has always liked to read a lot, so at the age of 10, and now I give him books. By December 31, I will definitely buy a collection of books by famous directors. Lolita's idols are young bloggers, so I will order backpacks, diaries and notebooks, as well as funny hats with the emblems of these same bloggers.

And at this time

The son of Evgeni Plushenko and Yana Rudkovskaya, in the company of Martin and Alla-Victoria Kirkorov, starred for the New Year's cover of a glossy magazine. The shooting was produced by Yana Rudkovskaya. Sasha Plushenko will turn 4 in January, and this is far from his first shooting. The star mother notes that the boy is very careful about the toys that he is given for participating in photo shoots. Answering a question from an American magazine about what he would like to convey to child models from other countries, Sasha replied that he wanted to invite them to visit and act together. Mom already promised him that.

Whatever you wish, everything will always happen, everything will always come true. Someone who, and the children are absolutely sure of this. Little residents of our country are already beginning to compose and send letters to the most important executor of desires, Santa Claus, with might and main.

What is the current rising generation asking for? We looked at New Year's Eve messages.

Perhaps in the first place among children's preferences are all kinds of modern gadgets.

"Dear Santa Claus. My name is Andryusha and I really want the same phone as my dad. He only lets me play it in the evening when he comes home from work. And I want it in the morning too. I also want my elder sister Dasha did not harm, and took me to her games with her girlfriends. Andrew, 5 years old.

“Hello Santa Claus, cotton beard. I want an MP3 player. I believe in Santa Claus. And I want the player to be with big headphones and a screen.” Serezha, 6 years old.

"Hello, Santa Claus. This is Masha. Last year you gave me a cell phone. But I could not walk with him, because he kept falling and breaking. And I gave it to my mom. Give me two cell phones this year. Me and mom. And some furniture for my dollhouse, if you can. Thanks". Masha is 9 years old.

“Dear Santa Claus, I really want a tablet. So that I only play it myself, and not with my brother. And that's why we fight all the time. Thanks". Cyril, 7 years old.

Employees of the Father Frost Post admit that from year to year new Year gifts children in our country are becoming more expensive. Every second person asks for a new phone, every third one asks for a tablet. But toys still still "rule".

"Give me the mask of the queen and fluffy dress. If you can, then before the New Year, so that I can wear it to the carnival at school. Dasha is 7 years old.

"Designer-garage and a set of cars for it." Danila is 9 years old.

"My name is Tanya. I live with my mother, 2 sisters and 3 brothers. I love them very much. Give me a teddy bear and perfume with different smells. Tasha, 6 years old.

However, children are not all materialists. Very often in one letter there is a funny kaleidoscope: skates and a puppy, a brother and a bicycle. Some of the letters move me to tears.

"Hello Dedushka Moroz. Please make mom pregnant and get the girl." Sveta, 8 years old.

“Santa Claus, I want mom and dad to never swear. And also a set of beads, exactly the same as I saw in the store. Alina, 6 years old.

“I want a puppy, but I won’t ask for one because my mother has allergies. And also a radio-controlled helicopter. Vasya, 10 years old.

“Grandfather Frost, give me a special cat toilet bowl, otherwise my mother wants to throw my cat out into the street. Musya pisses on the carpet all the time.” Vanya, 8 years old.

If you think only children write letters to the winter wizard younger age, you are very wrong.

"Dear Santa Claus! My name is Yana, I am 15 years old. We do not live well. We live together, I am a mother and a brother (dad died in a car accident). Since there is no money for a gift for me, I am writing here, hoping for a miracle that my wish will come true. I want my mother to always be happy and find a man for herself, I want my brother to obey me and give him a car on the remote control as a gift. Happy New Year. I live in Pavlovsky Posad.

But what is most surprising is that adults also write letters to Frost. As Santa Claus mail employees say, they regularly receive such messages. As a rule, people ask for recovery, a husband or wife, a child. Of course, they write more out of desperation than in the hope of an expensive gift. However, miracles certainly happen in life.
