12 items that signs are not advised to give for the New Year

New Year's holidays are not complete without gifts. We accept them and give them to our relatives, friends, colleagues. However, not all of them can be useful and bring happiness, because there are things that, according to legends, should not be given, so that the surprise does not turn into trouble.

Clock

As our ancestors believed, watches are able to take the time of those who receive them as a gift. Simply put, they count the life time and the breakage of a gift or its damage can promise illness and death. They were afraid of such presents. Even now, despite the 21st century, superstitions are also strong in many ways. Therefore, it is better to refrain from handing over the watch. If the person himself wished to receive them, it would be better if he pays you a few coins, as if he is making a purchase, and does not accept as a gift.

Book

Contrary to popular belief that a book is the best gift, you should only give it to yourself. To present a book to a loved one is to parting, if you believe the signs. Buying books for couples is also not recommended. It is believed that this can lead to quarrels between loved ones and more serious conflicts. As an exception, you can donate a book to an unmarried friend or unmarried relative.

Mirror

Many peoples have many superstitions associated with mirrors. It is not surprising that they are often used for fortune telling and other rituals. It is believed that donated mirrors can bring misfortune to the house. If you still want to take a chance and present such a present, then make sure that the mirror is in the package.

Pearl decoration

Giving pearls leads to tears. Surely many have heard this sign. Such a gift is suitable only for those for whom pearls are a lucky stone.

Empty wallet

There is nothing wrong with presenting a wallet, it is only important that it is not empty. Put a banknote or some coins in it. Thus, it is believed that you "lure" money to the owner of the wallet.

Casket

The person who gives the box may no longer count on the trust of the recipient of the presentation. He will hide his thoughts - so the signs say. If you follow them, then it is better to choose another gift for a loved one.

Towel

Such a necessary thing as a towel is also classified as unwanted gifts for the New Year. It promises a person severe illness and even a quick death, because towels are invariably among the things associated with the funeral rite. The donee, as in the case of a watch, can buy it from you for a nominal fee. This helps to avoid bad consequences. And one more thing: a towel bought as a gift should only be terry.

Scented candle

The animal of 2020 - the white rat - does not like pungent odors. Therefore, gifts in the form of scented candles should be discarded. In addition, candles often symbolize funerals and farewells.

Slippers

The desire to do something pleasant by giving home slippers, even handmade ones, may also not achieve its goal. The fact is that slippers are considered a harbinger of a long illness or even death. Superstitious people are especially bad about white shoes.

Chain

Many men choose a gold chain as a win-win gift for their beloved. However, it can not always be perceived favorably. Loss of the chain or damage to it can lead to health problems.

Shower gel

Who among men has not received shower gel as a gift at least once! This is even difficult to imagine. And yet this is not such a safe present. There is an opinion that the recipient of the soap can easily "wash away" from your life.

Mens socks

Another common gift for men is socks. On the one hand, they are never superfluous, on the other hand, it is definitely not worth buying them as a gift. It is believed that such a present from the wife can lead to the departure of the spouse from home, and if the mother gives the socks to the married man, then his family cannot avoid scandals and partings.

To believe the omens or not is a personal matter. The main thing is to make a gift from the heart, and then he will definitely become happy.
