A towel, as it may seem at first glance, is a practical and valuable gift that will always come in handy around the house.

However, folk signs warn against purchasing such a gift.

Why don't they give towels?

Negative association with white products. Such a towel is associated with funerals. According to signs, a white towel promises illness, failures and conflicts.

Another belief is that a woman should not give a towel to her man. This superstition is very old.

It is based on the times when women would pack men for a hike, wrapping their things in towels. Thus, the omen promises separation.

A kitchen towel is also not considered the best gift, especially for a married couple. The belief is that such a gift brings financial problems to the house.

Another interesting sign indicates that if a person does not like a bath towel, he may get sick. If you do not like a hand or face towel, this promises family disagreements.
