As a rule, gifts for electrical engineering personnel are chosen for birthdays, New Years, February 23 and, of course, a professional holiday - Power Engineer's Day (December 22 in Russia). So, don’t know what cool gift to give an electrician? Get inspired by the ideas below!
Corporate gifts for Energy Engineer Day
Colleagues don’t have to be given those boring notebooks and calendars. You can find more original and practical gifts, such as themed food or tea sets.
Corporate presentations are designed using corporate logos and accompanied by cards with congratulations.
Gifts should not be too expensive, but you should not give useless little things to your colleagues. The main thing is to find a balance between price, originality and necessity.
Set of energy teas
You can give an electrician:
- A basket with energy teas. Mate or pu-erh brewed in the morning gives you a feeling of vigor and helps you cope with everyday activities with ease.
- “Battery” set, including several types of coffee, a package of cane sugar and ginger cookies.
Energy drink preparation kit
It is not necessary to purchase ready-made invigorating drinks. In addition, they are considered harmful to health. An interesting energy drink can be made using a Mexican set consisting of Darbo honey, sugar, chili pepper, and cocoa.
Basket of energy-giving foods
The “Natural Energy” gift set is made up of dried fruits and berries, walnuts or pine nuts. It can be supplemented with herbal balm or taiga honey. These products not only give you a feeling of vigor, but also saturate the body with vitamins.
Themed set of sweets
An energy drinker will love an appropriately decorated box of chocolate. Inside are candies made in the shape of tools, batteries and light bulbs.
Memorable souvenirs for Energy Engineer Day
A useful, valuable item will be a good gift for your husband, father or best friend for a professional holiday or anniversary. The top gifts included a mini-fireplace, cufflinks, a table clock, a music and weather station.
Biofireplace
Unlike other souvenirs, this item will not sit on a shelf. Everyone likes a live fire: it helps you relax, collect your thoughts, unwind after a hard day at work, and create a cozy atmosphere.
The bio-fireplace can be placed not only at home, but also in the office.
The following advantages make it a successful gift:
- ready for use (just take the device out of the box and put it on the table);
- compatibility with any interior (a fireplace installed in the room does not disturb the usual atmosphere);
- Possibility of use in small areas;
- autonomous operation (no connection to the network or ventilation system required);
- low maintenance (it is enough to periodically pour suitable fuel into the firebox).
Themed cufflinks
This decoration goes well with a business suit. Cufflinks are made of gold or silver. Even if a man does not use such accessories, he will keep the jewelry as a memory.
Cufflinks in a themed style are made to order and cannot be called cheap.
A table clock
An energy executive will be pleased if he is given a stylish device. A clock in the form of a light bulb or power plant will look impressive on your desktop. Such a gift demonstrates the good attitude of subordinates.
Weather steam station
The device will make an interesting gift if you decorate it in a theme appropriate to the holiday. The station will decorate your home or office.
Weather steam station as a gift to decorate your office.
When choosing a device, pay attention to the set of functions:
- A simple device displays indoor and outdoor air temperatures. You can change the measurement scale.
- The station measures the humidity level in the house and outside it.
- Expensive devices display precipitation data.
- Almost all weather stations show atmospheric pressure. If there is a barometer, the device makes a forecast for the near future.
- Some devices save readings for several days and record wind speed.
- The monitor is equipped with motion sensors; when a person approaches, the backlight turns on.
Musical powerhouse
A status souvenir can be presented to the manager. If colleagues cannot decide what to give to the head of the energy corps, they should pay attention to the music station.
The tabletop item is made to order taking into account the theme of the holiday.
A small copy of a power plant will decorate the boss’s office. The director will wind up the mechanism and enjoy classical melodies. The key intended for this is located on the roof of one of the buildings.
About the energy of things
Choosing and presenting gifts often evokes positive emotions, but this is not always the case. Sometimes, when a person has problems or is simply in a bad mood, negative energy appears.
The birthday person who received a gift with bad energy not only cannot enjoy the gift and the holiday itself, he “receives as a gift” unresolved problems and all the accompanying negativity.
Therefore, when always going to a celebration, try to leave your bad mood at home so that it does not spread to the people you care about. The same applies to the birthday boy, if you think that the surprise causes you negative emotions, then get rid of it immediately.
A birthday is a fun holiday, and if you are sure that you will not be able to have fun, then it is better to stay at home on this day and congratulate the hero of the occasion a little later.
