What not to give for the New Year: 2019 anti-trends

The approaching New Year makes people think about what to give to friends and family. The 2019th Eastern calendar will be held under the auspices of the Yellow Earth Pig, which does not approve of all gifts. How to bestow the closest environment and not get into an awkward situation, we'll figure it out together.

What not to give for the New Year 2019

The pig is practical, therefore it does not accept the following gifts:

• souvenirs with New Year's symbols. According to the patroness of the year, every thing should be useful, and figurines or magnets only collect dust. A modern person does not need paper calendars and photo frames at all;

  

  Unfortunately, most often souvenirs look spectacular only in New Year's showcases.

• gifts with gags. If you are not sure that the gift will be appreciated, you should not give T-shirts with funny inscriptions or trinkets with a claim to humor;

  

  Not everyone is internally ready for funny gifts.

• leather items. Wallets, belts or gloves will definitely not be liked by the Pig;

• confectionery sets, the only advantage of which is beautiful packaging with the symbol of the year. Their content is rarely tasty, because manufacturers are trying to sell what is usually sold poorly due to poor quality;

  

  If you decide to present chocolate - first of all, it must be tasty, foil with Santa Claus often does not meet expectations

The Pig will love tasty surprises, but donating meat and meat products should be avoided. It is also better to put off clothes that restrict movement, giving preference to loose clothing.

Bad gifts: what the signs say

There are gifts that do not need to be presented for the New Year, regardless of the patron animal according to the Chinese horoscope:

• clock. A wrist or wall chronometer, according to the signs, promises an early separation, receiving such a gift can upset a loved one. There is also an opinion that the clock brings the death of a person closer by counting the time;

  

  Template gifts sometimes accumulate for years and do not please the owner

• candles. It is not customary to give ceremonial paraphernalia, and candles are inextricably linked with the funeral service for the dead and other church rites. If it is difficult to resist the temptation to give a beautiful candle decorated festively, give it on condition that you receive a small coin in return;

  

  If you want to give something that will create a mood, it is better to take a diode garland, and not a candle

• towels. Since ancient times, towels were brought to christenings, weddings and funerals, and towels are most closely associated with the burial of the body. If you know that a person does not mind receiving a set of towels as a gift, let it be mohair products, not waffle ones. Funny images will give the gift a positive message;

  

  Towels will not please superstitious housewives, and non-superstitious ones risk being useless

• mirrors. They like to give a wall or pocket mirror to women, but many superstitions are associated with this subject. A portal to the other world, a connection with evil spirits and the ability to abduct human souls - this is a short list of the properties attributed to mirrors. They should not be given to people who believe in omens and superstitions.
• piercing and cutting objects. A given kitchen knife or weapon as a souvenir according to popular beliefs brings a person unhappiness and problems in the house;

• socks. This wardrobe item is rarely a welcome gift, and if you believe the omens, socks cannot be given not only for the New Year. A woman giving her beloved man a pair of socks brings the separation from him closer. A mother who gives socks to a married son, willingly or unwillingly, wants to destroy his marriage;

  

  Once in a lifetime, you can give your beloved textiles with a New Year's ornament, but people who are far from superstitions will not like regularly accepting socks as a gift

• slippers. Close people often give each other home shoes, not suspecting that slippers promise ill health and even death to the recipient. In the burial rite, slippers are considered traditional footwear. When choosing a gift for a superstitious person, give up the idea of handing slippers.

  

  Present slippers for the Eastern New Year in February if you just can't resist, and choose something more solemn for the main holiday of the year

Gifts that nobody likes

A separate category is banal, unnecessary gifts, which hardly anyone will be happy to receive:

• cosmetics and perfumery. There is a risk of making a mistake with a shade or aroma, and if you are prone to allergic reactions, your gift will definitely not be used;

• kitchenware. Housewives try to select kitchen items in the same style, and the gift may not work. And another saucepan is not what they dream of on New Year's days;

  

  It is better to give your beloved mother or grandmother not a frying pan, but a certificate for a joint dinner in a restaurant or a promise to cook her breakfast on Fridays

• inexpensive jewelry. Only children can wear cheap jewelry; adults are given jewelry;
• Underwear. It is difficult to guess with the size, and men do not consider shorts and T-shirts to be an important piece of clothing, so they are unlikely to appreciate the gift. Intimate gifts with insufficient proximity can embarrass the addressee;
• things hinting at figure flaws. Corrective underwear, scales or fitness membership can be an unpleasant gift;

• books. People who love reading most likely already have novelties, and giving books of a genre that is not interesting to the addressee is a bad idea;

  

  Different books are different people, it's almost impossible to guess

• clothes and footwear for children. The times of scarcity have passed, and the child will rather be delighted with the tenth toy than the next blouse. Male teenagers will not be particularly happy;

  

  It is unlikely that your child dreams of finding another clothes under the tree.

• live animal. Even a person without an allergy to wool is not always pleasant to receive, for example, a minipig, as a symbol of the coming year. Preliminary agreement with the future owner eliminates the element of surprise of the gift;

  

  Animals are perhaps the most difficult gift, it definitely shouldn't be spontaneous.

• certificate for impressions. Many people will not be happy with the presented opportunity to fly in a wind tunnel or jump with a parachute, despite the high cost of the certificate;

  

  Children will receive incredible activities and adventures as a gift much more joyfully than many adults.

• a gift that does not meet expectations. When a person does his best to hint what he would like to find under the tree, but gets something completely different, the mood will be ruined.

It is better to ask the person in advance what he likes than to risk the New Year's mood

It seems to me that the attitude towards a gift depends on the person who presented it. If there is discord in the family, then a good gift will cause rejection. And you can, like my friend, rejoice at the age of 14, the seventh size bra donated by your beloved grandmother, for growth.

When choosing New Year's gifts, do not focus on your own preferences, but take into account the interests of those for whom you are preparing a surprise. Then the problem of unnecessary gifts will not be relevant in 2019 and the next years.
