It is customary to give gifts to a person who is celebrating a birthday.

The most interesting thing is that not only the hero of the occasion, but also the one who presents the gift can experience joy from this.

But it is important that the gift be a suitable item.

Unfortunately, there are many items that are considered dangerous gifts according to popular belief.

Knife

It is believed that such an object may be a harbinger of a quarrel.

To make a sharp tool a safe gift, you should ask for a symbolic amount for it.

One coin will be enough to “transform” the knife into a purchase.

Watch

This item shows how quickly time flows.

Perhaps the hero of the occasion will perceive such a gift as a hint of his advanced age.

But it's not just that. According to popular belief, a gift in the form of a watch can take several years off a person's life.

Mirror

A gift in the form of a reflective surface can pose a serious danger, especially for the fair sex.

It is possible that the mirror will “reverse” successes and double failures.

Slippers

It is believed that such things can cause a serious quarrel.

If a person does not plan to stop communicating with the hero of the occasion, then there is no need to give slippers.

Pearl jewelry

Pearls are a beautiful looking piece of jewelry. However, many people think that they look like tears.

This is why pearls can, according to signs, bring misfortune into the life of the person to whom such a gift was given.
