Not all gifts are considered safe.

Having received some things as a gift, a person may encounter troubles. At least, this is what folk signs say.

But what should you do if you want to please a friend or relative with an interesting, but “dangerous” gift?

Fortunately, there is a way to symbolically turn a gift into a purchase. To do this, it is enough for the person who was given this or that thing to give the giver at least one kopeck.

If you believe the signs, then in this case the thing will cease to be dangerous. So, what gifted items should be symbolically "bought"?

Knife

A knife (like any other sharp object) is considered an unsafe gift: there is a risk that the recipient will quarrel with the giver.

To prevent this from happening, you must pay a symbolic fee for the item.

Handkerchief

It is believed that this thing can bring tears and troubles to the recipient.

To avoid this, the product must be "bought". One kopeck will be enough.

Pet

It is not a fact that a gift of a dog or cat will make a person happy.

But according to the signs, the pet will bring only joy to the owner if you pay very little money for it.
