Over time, a professional holiday for the military on February 23 became just a day when all males are congratulated, regardless of their involvement in the type of activity. A selection will help with the search for gifts, here are some useful and practical ideas.
Umbrella Blunt
After reading Sergey’s review about the Blunt umbrella, I first bought myself a small Blunt XS, and then I came to a larger model. A small umbrella fits easily into a backpack, this was a fundamental point for the purchase. But in the process of using it, it turned out that you don’t look like such an umbrella for a long time – its volume is not enough for complete protection from the rain.
On the other hand, a large umbrella turned out to be less mobile, but more practical. So I recommend this version. I bought an orange umbrella for myself, now there is no such bright color, but you can choose yellow or red. Well, according to tradition, black, gray or blue, if bright colors strain.
Comfortable handle, durable construction, the umbrella is not afraid of gusts of wind and will always come to the rescue.

Sonos Roam speaker
The Sonos Roam speaker is a universal and useful gift in all cases. Someone listens to music, someone listens to podcasts, and someone’s child will watch cartoons with good voice acting. A small speaker in a minimalistic design is protected from impacts and is not afraid of falls. It is also protected from water according to the IP67 standard – at my house the column lives in the bathroom and feels great. Waking up in the morning is not easy, but the speaker lifts the mood with music: good bass, decent mids and well-developed high frequencies.
I think the Sonos Roam is a great option to try out when you haven’t been in the Sonos universe yet, but really want to try what it’s so good about. The column connects via Bluetooth and via Wi-Fi using AirPlay 2 – a godsend for Apple users, there are very few such models. Of the interesting chips, you can also highlight the automatic adjustment of the Trueplay sound to the room.

Apple TV 4K
The set-top box will combine all streaming services in one device, just have time to pay for subscriptions and watch TV shows and movies. I love the console for its simple controls and nice interface, understandable even to a small child.
Instead of the bundled remote, you can use the iPhone, and at the same time send a video or photo from it to the big screen via AirPlay. If necessary, Apple TV outputs sound to wireless speakers or headphones if you don’t want to disturb others.
Friends often ask: “Why this Apple TV, if now all TVs come with smart capabilities?” The prefix reveals itself when used in small things. Excellent video quality, gorgeous standby screensavers, Apple Music can be turned into karaoke, Apple Arcade games with DualShock and Xbox Wireless Controller support, no annoying pop-up ads like on smart TVs.

LEGO BMW M 1000 RR
Take a break from everything and concentrate on assembling the designer – that’s what you want after the end of a busy day. LEGO releases new items with enviable constancy, one of the latest models is a 1:5 scale BMW M 1000 RR motorcycle with a working three-speed gearbox and an in-line four-piston engine.
Assembling a set of almost two thousand parts will brighten up the time in anticipation of the summer season, when the same life-size motorcycle is in the garage.

Apple iPhone 12 phone
One of the best iPhones Apple has ever released in my opinion is the iPhone 12. Handy size, great screen and nice design, the smartphone is still very fast and will last a long time. Everything with him: the device turned out to be balanced, cool and enjoyable in every way. It remains only to choose a suitable case in contrasting colors for this wonderful phone.
Price: from 50,000 rubles .
