Many of us love to receive and give presents. There are innumerable reasons for presenting a present to someone: birthday, anniversary, anniversary, wedding, christening, professional holiday and much more. Not such a thing as a gift for no reason is alien to us, just to make a person pleasant. But it’s better to consider what gifts you can’t give.

Attitude to superstition

All superstitions regarding gifts are rooted in paganism. In our time, everyone decides for himself - to believe in all these signs or treat them with irony. But even if the donor does not believe in all these negative prejudices, this does not at all exclude the possibility that the one whom it is planned to please with a gift believes in them. In order to avoid embarrassment and not turn joy into disappointment, you can familiarize yourself with those gifts that according to some superstitions and signs cannot be given.

By the way, there is a list of things, taking as a gift which, you need to give a coin. This will also be useful to remember.

Unwanted gifts

Slippers

It would seem a common household accessory. Soft, comfortable slippers will appeal to anyone. However, they are often associated with funeral paraphernalia, because people are usually buried in shoes, often in slippers. That is why they cause disturbing associations.

Clock

In the case of this gift, it should be noted that it is not recommended to give a watch not only in our country, but also many others. If this is a wristwatch, then they say that their mechanism can affect human biorhythms.

Someone associates wrist watches with handcuffs.

However, there is a way to neutralize the negative impact of this presentation. It is only necessary after the donation process to immediately put them on a plush toy, as if you presented the watch as a gift.

As for the wall clock, there is a belief that depending on the reason for which they are given, they are able to have a negative effect. Thus, given to the wedding, they will count the hours of marriage, which will ultimately lead to divorce. If you give them about the appointment to a new position, then the person will not stay long in this position and will soon lose it. Having presented a clock on the anniversary of a love relationship or friendship, you can provoke an imminent discord or even separation.

Scarves, towels

These harmless accessories are also not worth giving, as they, along with slippers, are associated with funeral themes. At the funeral, it is customary to give a towel to those who carry the coffin, and to everyone else - handkerchiefs. A donated scarf - to tears.

But you can give them in pairs. Thus, if you present two scarves or a couple of towels, the omen will not work.

Stuffed animals and bird figurines

There is a belief that a bird flown into the house is a sign of bad news. Therefore, a gift in the form of a stuffed animal or a bird figurine can serve as a harbinger of bad consequences.

Health related items

Inhalers, instruments for measuring pressure or temperature, walkers, crutches, bandages and so on - all this is necessary for a person when he has health problems. If you give them to a healthy person, they will attract diseases, helping to ensure that these items are useful in practice.

Sharp objects

Pricking and cutting attributes are also prohibited. Presented as a present, they bring quarrels, disagreements, family disorders into the house. Even furniture is best presented with rounded corners rather than sharp.

Some flowers

The fact that you can not give a bouquet of an even number of flowers is known to many. But there is another feature. For example, don’t recommend giving cloves, even an odd amount. It is believed that they melt negative energy.

Also banned is a bouquet in black and red. Such shades are associated with mourning themes.

Wallets

In general, there are no signs categorically prohibiting giving a purse. If you take into account several features, then there will be nothing terrible in such a gift.

Firstly, you need to pay attention to the color of the accessory: the best option is red. They say a red wallet attracts money.

But the option in blue should be avoided. The fact is that blue is the color of the water element, therefore, money from such a wallet will flow away like water.

The second aspect to consider when giving a purse - You can not present a completely empty wallet. It is necessary to put a bill or a coin there, even the smallest one. This will help to attract money to the wallet.

It should be noted that this superstition applies not only to wallets, but also to bags and backpacks.

What can not be given to a man

Socks

There are many jokes about the fact that the only thing a woman can give to her man is socks. However, not everyone knows that it is this attribute of the wardrobe that must never be gifted. There is a belief that the one to whom such a gift was presented will soon leave the family.

Underpants

It is not recommended to give such an element of an intimate wardrobe, otherwise - get ready to survive the betrayal.

Books

Paradoxical as it may seem, the saying “The best gift is a book” does not work here.

It is believed that the donated book will lead to an early separation.

Animal figures

In general, some figurines are not intended to be gifted. As for the gift to the man, here it is worth avoiding the elephant figurine with the trunk lowered. Allegedly, this can lead to problems with potency.

What can not be given to a woman

Pearls

This incredible beauty jewelry is better to exclude from the list of possible gifts. Superstitions say that pearls used to be tears of mermaids. That is why such a decoration can only bring misfortune.

Mirror

There is a belief that, admiring the gift mirror, a girl loses her youth. Many superstitions are associated with mirrors. They say that they serve as a portal between our world and another dimension.

Also, superstitious people believe that the mirror never forgets what it once saw, all the information and energy is stored inside it.

Among folk signs, there is one related to this attribute: to break a mirror - to death.

Based on existing signs, many refuse to choose such a gift.

What can not be given to a child

Many signs agree on one thing: you can’t give anything before the baby’s birth. When a newborn is born, you can please your parents with a generous gift. But here you should also be careful, because there are things that are not recommended to be given according to some signs.

Doll

This is not about dolls in general, but about beauties from porcelain. There is a possibility that this sign is due to the fact that dolls were often used in Voodoo magical rites. Also, a porcelain doll is always handmade, therefore, its creator puts all his energy into creation. Therefore, if such a present is presented, it is better to immediately clear it of negative energy.

What you can not give to your beloved or beloved

  • Mittens - will lead to a breakdown in relations.
  • Hairbrush - Someone may not keep their promises.
  • Casket - they will hide something from you.
  • Alcoholic drinks - drunk immediately, spoil the relationship.

How to clear a gift

If a gift is presented that cannot be given according to signs, do not fall into despair: such a present can be cleaned, thus relieving it of negative energy. There are several ways to do this.

Money

If you give a coin in response to a donated thing, then the negative impact will be neutralized. Naturally, this is not about the full value of a thing. You just need to symbolically “pay” the donor.

Water

Water can save a thing from bad energy. It is enough to wipe the item with a damp cloth or rinse under the tap.

Fire

Another element - fiery - will also help in such situations. It is necessary to light a candle and walk around it with a donated item.

Salt

In the case when the present can not be brought to water or fire, salt will help. You can put the item in coarse salt and leave it overnight, provided that it is small.

If the gift is large, you can just sprinkle it with salt, and after a while gently shake it off.

If there is any doubt about the gift item, you can always mitigate the negative impact of the gift by buying it back. Just give a coin to the donor and not worry about anything. The traditional unwanted gift list is sometimes updated with new items. But it is up to everyone to decide whether this or that item is suitable as a gift or not. Despite the existing signs, you always need to please your family and friends with pleasant presents.
