On the eve of gender holidays, there is an annual revival in the purchase of gifts. The tradition of celebrating February 23 and March 8 has been around for more than a decade. In previous years, there was a clear division into "male" and "female" holidays with gifts corresponding to each gender, often traditional. This often gave rise to funny incidents and became a topic for jokes. So, the common name of the first holiday was “Men's Deodorant Day”, and the second - “Revenge for Socks Day”.
But recently, this line has been blurred, and now it has become fashionable to give presents that do not have a pronounced gender identity. They are equally well suited for both men and women, they are beautiful, useful and appropriate in any situation.

This concept has come into use in our country quite recently. This holiday originated in the USA, later it was borrowed in European countries, and not so long ago Russia joined them.
For a long time in our country it was not customary to tell the sex of the baby to others before his birth. Sometimes even the future parents themselves asked the doctors for an ultrasound scan so that they would not be told anything. The fear of the evil eye and other ancient prejudices are slowly but surely giving way to progressive thinking, and the improvement of methods and equipment for studying the state of fetal development has reduced the likelihood of error in sex determination many times over.And in recent years, an invitation to a gender party - a holiday at which the gender of the unborn baby is solemnly and officially announced - no longer looks like something outlandish.
Since gifts must be bought well in advance, before it is known whether they are for a boy or a girl, choosing gender-neutral items is the best option. You can also choose a present for the expectant mother. There are a lot of options suitable for a party of this format. The ideas below may help guide you.
