How often do we puzzle over what to present to a friend or work colleague. I want the gift to be not only beautiful, but also functional. This means that various trinkets, candles and magnets disappear immediately. So what to choose? We present to your attention unusual ashtrays, which can be a great gift for a smoking person and will remind you every day.
Handmade ashtrays
In order not to be commonplace, you can turn to hand made masters. Often you can find unusual ashtrays among their works, painted with acrylic, of the most diverse and unpredictable forms - from simple skeletons to elegant towers and castles.
True, the cost of such a gift can be significantly higher than a factory product. But it's worth it. Firstly, it is exclusive. Almost never masters are repeated in their creations. Secondly, it’s quite difficult to find original ashtrays with jokes in the store, but here they will take into account your wishes and fulfill them on time.
The main thing is to carefully read the reviews about the master. Unfortunately, unscrupulous people are often found who can forget or delay time. To avoid this, make an order in advance, because unusual ashtrays require imagination and time to make.
Original ashtrays with hood
Recently, the so-called USB-ashtrays are gaining more and more popularity. The chip of this device is that it connects to a laptop or computer and acts as a hood. It is very convenient if the birthday boy is used to smoking without leaving his workplace. Such a gift will be not only original, but also functional.
Thanks to the USB-ashtray, you can protect households from the effects of secondhand smoke and bad smell. And the smoker himself will be much more pleasant to breathe fresh air, without sediment of nicotine resins.
USB ashtray working principle
The device layout is pretty simple. When connected to the USB port, the built-in fan is turned on, which draws smoke into the special filter. As a result, at the exit you get purified air - odorless and harmful substances. Such unusual ashtrays can even be connected to the connector in the car if you have a long journey. Be sure this gift will definitely please your colleague or friend!
Fancy Gift Ashtray Ideas
There are many ideas on how ashtrays can be made. Moreover, it is important to take into account not only the design, but also the material from which it will be: glass, polymer or ordinary clay, porcelain, refractory plastic, metal, bronze, etc. Each of the materials has its pros and cons. The most versatile is polymer clay. It is quite durable and ductile.
Well, the choice of form depends entirely on the preferences of the person to whom the gift is intended. For comic book lovers, figures of superheroes, villains and fairy-tale characters are suitable. The girl can pick up the original tower, an ashtray in the form of a lake or cosmetic accessories. And you can give a stern boss a big hand, in which the ash is shaken off, or an unusual bronze accessory with the image of a currency.
