This year we decided to slightly change the concept of the buying guides and sort all the gifts into several larger categories. For your convenience, under each category there will be a short description of the devices that will be included in it.

Work and leisure
We began to spend much more time at home, now it is not only a place to relax, but also an office for those who work remotely. Gifts from this category will help you to be more comfortable at home, regardless of whether you are working or relaxing.
Nespresso coffee machine
If you know that your loved one drinks coffee a lot, then it makes sense to donate a separate coffee machine. Nespresso has relatively inexpensive models for 7-8 thousand rubles. Most importantly, do not forget to take a set of capsules in addition to the coffee machine itself. But it is also worth pre-tasting this coffee in some shopping center or a large hardware store (fortunately, Nespresso has enough demo zones) to be sure that you will like the gift.

BQ 75FSU15B TV
If your girlfriend loves movies, TV shows, or just watches YouTube often, then it makes sense to please her with a TV on March 8th. But if you surprise, then to the fullest.
Even 15-20 years ago, a TV with a large diagonal was considered a luxury item and cost a lot of money. Many people have not rebuilt since then and still believe that these TVs are beyond their means. Although this is no longer the case. For example, the BQ company has a TV with a diagonal of 75 inches, 4k-resolution, Smart TV support, a built-in Bluetooth module (for connecting a keyboard, mouse or wireless headset) and 20W stereo speakers, not for 200 or even for 100 thousand rubles. The model is called BQ 75FSU15B.
It is difficult for a person who is not experienced with large diagonals to understand whether 75 inches is a lot or a little? This is a lot, the width of such a TV is 1.6 meters, and the height is almost a meter. Quite a home theater. And at the same time it costs only 59 thousand rubles. It is important to understand that a TV is usually purchased for five to six years, this is a purchase for a long time, and the thing itself will be used regularly.

E-reader ONYX BOOX KON-TIKI 2
What could be more enjoyable than spending an evening reading your favorite book? Is that the ability to read it on electronic media, with convenient font adjustment, backlighting and a thin body.
ONYX BOOX KON-TIKI 2 will be an excellent gift for March 8th for lovers of reading. The notebook has a much larger screen size compared to most models (7.8 inches versus the classic 6 inches). The resolution is also higher (1872×1404 pixels versus the usual 1024×758 pixels), which means that even the smallest letters will look neat and clear. There is a screen backlight, which is regulated not only by brightness, but also by color temperature. You can make it warmer or colder. By the way, the screen itself is covered with a protective glass from Asahi, so it has no sides around the display.
The set comes with a beautiful smart cover that can turn on / off the screen of the book. Usually, these covers have to be bought separately for 2000 rubles.
The book runs on Android 10, which means you can install third-party software on it. This is especially important given the screen size. With this display size, the reader is suitable not only for reading fiction, but also technical literature in PDF or DJVU. And the eight-core processor and 3 GB of RAM are responsible for the performance, so even heavy files will open quickly. A nice little thing will be the Type-C port, like most modern smartphones.
Usually KON-TIKI 2 is sold for 23 rubles, but now it can be taken for 500 by March 8 for a promotion and save 21 rubles.

Asus ZenBook 14 UX425E Laptop
Due to the massive shift to telecommuting, people began to spend more time at home and sit at their home computer. It’s good when it’s a normal powerful PC, but as a rule, these are old slow laptops, the use of which often turns into torture.
March 8 is a great reason to update your old laptop and please your loved one with a new computer. But I want the new model to bring only positive emotions. How will they be expressed? First, the laptop needs to be thin and light. Secondly, with a high-quality display and thin bezels. Third, work for a long time. Fourth, to have a comfortable keyboard. And I would also like it to have a “zest”, a nice little thing that will make its use more convenient.
Asus’ ZenBook 14 is perfect for this role. It has a large 14-inch display, FHD-resolution, thin bezels around the screen, while it is thin and light itself (it weighs only 1.17 kg, these are very impressive figures), it works for a long time and charges quickly (up to 60% per hour), it has a comfortable keyboard and backlit keys. Well, a small bonus will be the integration of the NumPad digital pad into the laptop touchpad. A beautiful and powerful computer that is convenient to work with both at home and on the road.

Xiaomi Sleep Mask 8H
Did you know that the darker the room is used for sleeping, the better the person gets enough sleep? Ideally, of course, you need to buy blackout curtains and completely cover the windows with them, but, firstly, such curtains are very expensive, and secondly, they are also quite heavy. There is an easier way to provide yourself with a completely dark space – buy a sleep mask. Now their assortment is simply huge, from simple fabrics to silk and with various lining. This is a gift that will be pleasant to receive and which a person is unlikely to buy for himself.

Wireless headphones
Wireless headphones are a simple and versatile gift that can win in almost any situation. We have selected four different models for you for all occasions.
Apple AirPods
If a girl has an iPhone, but still does not have any of the AirPods versions, then it is definitely worth considering them as one of the gift options. The main thing is to first clarify what kind of headphones the girl uses, open or plugs, otherwise you can screw up pretty much.

Sony WH-1000XM4
One of the best wireless noise canceling headphones. Good, comfortable, with high-quality sound, the ability to listen to them over the wire and with support for the LDAC codec. This is a great gift for those who often need to protect themselves from outside noise at work or at home.

Huawei FreeBuds 3
If AirPods are perfect for owners of iPhones, then girls who use Android smartphones can look at other companies as well. For example, Huawei’s FreeBuds 3 is a great gift for those who still don’t have wireless headphones. Beautiful stylish case, support for wireless charging, Type-C port and 4-5 hours of battery life.

Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro
Wireless earplugs from Samsung with a very unusual shape and fit. This model focuses on sound quality and noise cancellation. The charging case also supports wireless charging, and the earbuds themselves can work for another hour after a five-minute charge. Interaction with headphones goes through a special application from Samsung, in which you can play with the equalizer to customize the sound for yourself. In general, an interesting model from a large brand.

Gadgets
This section includes nice little things, one way or another related to technology.
Selfie tripod
A versatile and inexpensive gift for all selfie lovers. We recommend that you don’t take a cheap selfie stick, but overpay for a selfie tripod with a wireless trigger. It is much more convenient for them to use, and you can also put a smartphone on it and use it as a stand for video calls.

Smartphone Printer
A cool emotional gift for those who like to take pictures often in companies. Modern printers can print pictures taken on a smartphone, so you can pre-select from several frames. We also recommend that you do not forget to take printing paper as a gift.

Fitness tracker Xiaomi Mi Band 5
A fitness tracker is a universal gift for any occasion, and March 8 is no exception. Why is this a good gift? For a person who did not have such a gadget before, this will be a huge amount of new information. How long did he walk, how well he slept, how much time he spends at the computer. At the same time, the same Mi Band is getting better with each generation. So, the latest generation received a color display, many modes of tracking physical activity and other changes. Well, if you want the bracelet to also have the ability to pay, then it’s better to take the Mi Band 4 NFC, which has it.

External battery
Another universal gift for any girl who still does not have an external battery. Their assortment is now very large, the choice should be based on how often the girl will use it, whether she wants a compact model or, on the contrary, a large and capacious one, all this must be taken into account when choosing.

Yandex.Station Mini
A versatile voice assistant that can be conveniently placed in the kitchen or room. With the help of Alice, “Ya. Station Mini” will be able to tell you the weather, tell you about the situation on the road, turn on your favorite track or set a timer. The only drawback of this speaker is that it cannot work wirelessly.

Smartphones
We decided not to devote the entire guide exclusively to smartphones, but allocated a separate section for them, because there are a lot of gifts and only on phones the light did not converge like a wedge. However, they are also a good gift option.
Apple iPhone 12 mini
It is clear that such an expensive gift is unlikely to be bought specifically for March 8, but if you know that your loved one has long wanted an iPhone, then it makes sense to look towards the compact 12 mini. As a rule, girls often prefer small smartphones, and there are literally a couple of models on the market that are almost as good as their larger “brothers”. 12 mini is one of them: thin, light, almost the size of an iPhone 5s, yet powerful, efficient, with a great camera and a great display. True, it costs accordingly – from 70 thousand rubles.

TECNO CAMON 15 Air
A good and inexpensive gift for March 8 can be a CAMON 15 Air smartphone from TECNO. The model has a huge 6.6-inch display made of durable Japanese glass Asahi Glass, a capacious 5000 mAh battery and a pleasant appearance. The front camera is integrated into the screen and supports work with AI, while the manufacturer was able to add a flash for the front camera, which is rarely found in smartphones.
There are four main camera modules. The 48MP camera can capture high-definition images that will not lose detail even at eight times magnification. When shooting at night, four pixels are combined into one 1,6-micron megapixel, which allows for better photos in low light. Additional lenses will help you get good macro shots and blur the background when shooting portraits.
The smartphone supports face unlocking and also has a fingerprint scanner. This is one of the few models in which slots for two SIM-cards and a slot for a memory card are not combined. In retail, this model costs 10 thousand rubles.

Samsung galaxy z flip
Another example of a compact smartphone, only in a much cooler form factor. Buying a Z Flip is a very emotional gift. We have long lost the habit of the clamshell format, so it is perceived fresh and futuristic, while Z Flip will not let you down in terms of its characteristics: a cool screen, good battery life, high-quality cameras and, of course, many scenarios for using a flexible screen. In retail, it is sold from 75 thousand rubles.

Sony Xperia 5 II
Another compact smartphone, this time from Sony. Not all girls love iOS, and finding a small device on Android is a big problem. And if you need it to be with a flagship filling, then there is almost no choice, and the Xperia 5 II is almost the only model here. The smartphone has something to please in addition to its size: it has a high-quality OLED display, a unique aspect ratio of 21: 9 (only used by Sony), its own laconic shell, good cameras and decent battery life. And with a thickness of 8 mm, it has a 4000 mAh battery.

Universal gifts
I would like to give some advice on some categories of gifts. Do not give household appliances or cosmetics on March 8th. In the first case, you buy a product at home, and everyone will use it, and in the second, it is very easy not to guess with the purchase. Instead of specific sets, it makes sense to donate a certificate to one of the cosmetics stores that the girl often visits.
Another universal gift is flowers, it is pleasant for any girl to receive them on March 8, however, we recommend that, shortly before the holiday, unobtrusively find out what kind of flowers she loves.
And if you want to be more original, then try replacing the flowers with helium balloons. Now a set of 20-25 pieces can be found on sale for 1 – 500 rubles.
Conclusion
As in any of our articles, comments are as valuable as the material itself. Therefore, we invite our readers and readers to share their thoughts on the gifts for March 8th. Tell us what you are planning to give or what you would like to receive as a gift for this holiday.
