- Animals. Here you need to be sure what exactly the guests of the holiday want, is it possible to keep pets at home, and whether both spouses want such a gift.
- Towels, scarves, handkerchiefs, in many ways, also will not bring anything good to the family.
- Different containers for storing food, wallets, vases, caskets should not be given empty. Be sure to put in them candy or small bills.
- Women are by no means given pearls, if they don’t want the mistress of the holiday to drown in a sea of tears.

- A different choice will be different antiques, since it carries the energy of the past owners, which can negatively affect the fate and relations of the anniversaries. An exception may be family value.
