The New Year 2024 is approaching, the symbol of which is the Green Wooden Dragon. And what is a holiday without gifts?
To please your loved ones, you should carefully approach their choice and not give things that the patron of the year according to the eastern calendar may not like and push away luck from the receiving party, and if the Dragon gets very angry, then attract big troubles. What should not be given for the New Year 2024?
The element of the symbol of the year is fire, the Green Dragon is very jealous of it, so you should not give gifts associated with it (for example, souvenir candles, lighters, etc.). You should also avoid giving liquids (perfume, alcohol), because water can extinguish the energy of the element of the year, which the Dragon will definitely not like, such a gift will scare away luck from both the recipient and the one who gives it.
When choosing a New Year's gift for someone, you need to pay attention to the color of the item. The Dragon does not like dull and dark colors, so it is better to take something bright. The patron of the coming year will especially like things in green, red and gold.
Since the symbol of the holiday will be the Green Wooden Dragon, interesting and unusual wooden items (for example, a beautiful handmade jewelry box) will be an excellent choice as a gift. The Dragon will like that the gift was chosen taking into account the symbol of the year, and thanks to this, it will be favorable to its recipient.
One of the main qualities of the patron of 2024 is the love of wealth and luxury, because, if you believe the legends and traditions, these mythical creatures have long guarded untold treasures.
Therefore, it is better to leave handmade gifts and cheap trinkets for another occasion.
This rule especially concerns jewelry; you cannot give costume jewelry or silver. In this case, it is better not to save money and choose gold or refuse such a gift idea.
If you don’t have the money to give a person something expensive, then at least you need to find something exclusive or of good quality.
For example, if you don’t plan to spend too much on a gift for your boss or colleague, you can opt for tea or coffee, but be sure to choose a good variety.
In China, there is a sign that in the year of the Dragon, you should never give a watch (whether a wristwatch or a wall clock). It is believed that this will bring the recipient of the gift closer to death and the patron of the year will not protect him from danger and evil fate.
