The most pleasant part of the New Year's holiday - it presents. When the morning under the Christmas tree came the rustle of wrapping paper and heard cheers, you are filled with joy and... pride. Because you - the man who came up with these gifts, searched, ordered, carefully wrapping and under the Christmas tree was packing. Or solemnly handed colleagues, relatives, friends.
For you bestow joy - this is salary, bonuses and promotional subscription to the Italian restaurant. If we exaggerate, then just a little bit - it is very important to choose not only original, but also a useful thing. Since New Year's gifts to all the default acquire a symbolic meaning, while shopping should not forget about the signs. According to some of them, not all gifts are favorable. We know that 8 out of the "black list".
Clock
Did you know that according to the Chinese, if you give people watch, it will counttime... to the person's death. Of course, we are not so serious as the inhabitants of the Middle Kingdom, although we have the gift of favor. It is believed that the "chronometer" - the wrist or wall - can lead to the house quarrel or separation from the donor.
knives
Knife or knife set in a gift promises to bring trouble to the owners home. And if you still have presented a "sharp" surprise, just give the donor a coin. It is believed that it will take trouble.
books
And books can lead to quarrels, if awarded couples. Give beloved tome - coming parting. We are not to blame - it is a popular belief she says. Is that razukrashki Antistress can deliver, or e-book, we checked.
Dishes
Always appropriate, but... too good. Therefore, according to tradition, young sounding dishes on the wedding - for good luck. And if you just ordered a dish as a gift, just put something inside - a coin, sweets, Christmas toy. If you give an empty bowl - to lack of money. Pah-pah, as they say.
animals
Of course, no one would give a dog, even a tiny Chihuahua, unless agreed to the last detail with the hosts. Yes there Chihuahua - even a hamster, and it is impossible to present the spur of the moment, ostensibly to please the kids on a holiday. A nurse, a vet who will drive? If an animal - a gift is expected to just pick up with the hosts a symbolic ransom. Do you know why? It is believed that otherwise the animal will not be able to find a place in the new building and will be able to escape to the previous owner.
Slippers
And what is now a beautiful house slippers! But no. You can not. If you believe in omens, according to one of them, donated slippers - not good. Especially white. If we are slippers oh, very beautiful or funny, call them "slippers" and so we launched.
pearls
pearl named "tears of sea nymphs" In ancient Greece. The ancient Greeks also on their own experience (in the myths and dramas) said that pearls in a gift portends tears. Well, I do not.
Tie
Imagine there is a sign that the tie "ties" donor... the future owner of the accessory. This is not your case? For hedging donate as an alternative to an elegant butterfly. Bingo!
You may ask, what then give not dangerous? Money is always appropriate, as a good set of cosmetics, interior decoration (candles, New Year's toys), sweets, champagne, gadget or appliance. Choose by preference and the size of the budget, which, as practice shows, is what counts. With advancing!
