Use one, maximum two colors. This rule does apply not only to graphic design, but also to interior design. Make sure your jewelry fits into the interior.
If the house has bright colors, then we decorate it with trinkets of neutral shades. The same rule can act exactly the opposite.
Decorate the Christmas tree with sweets: chocolates and biscuits and treat them to guests.
Let your imagination run wild. And if you have a child, make your own jewelry with him. Everyone loved to do New Year’s hand-made when he or she was a child, so do not deprive your kids of this pleasure.

It gives the young children the opportunity to develop and improve themselves in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, and it gives invaluable hours of fun and friendly communication to adults. And what is important it promotes the development of memory and logic.
Most board games are based on luck, strategy, knowledge or a combination of these three things. They can be educational and entertaining, designed for different age groups, for one player or for a whole group.
Musical instrument
If you have bought a musical instrument for your dear person, it will for sure contribute to mastering this instrument. Such a gift will be very useful, because music lessons train memory and thinking, develop self-discipline, improve motor skills and reaction, help to overcome psychological barriers. Playing music is a nice, laborious – but a pleasant way of knowing, improving and educating oneself. So, figure out which musical instrument will suit your friend or relative. It can be quite an inexpensive gift: ukulele, harmonica, melodic, block flutes, kalimba(mbira). We advise you to find out in advance which instrument your dear person prefers or which instrument he or she has always dreamed of learning to play and hurry to the music store.
