There are gifts that can ruin the mood at the most inconvenient moment. Especially if we are talking about superstitious and impressionable people.

Therefore, you need to know that not only watches, an empty wallet, knives and yellow flowers can ruin your reputation.

There is a category of citizens who believe that gifts in the form of handkerchiefs are sure to lead to tears, and towels, if it so happens that they are also accompanied by candles and slippers, are sure to lead to a funeral.

Mirrors and pearls should not be given as gifts. You should be especially careful when giving such gifts to women.

And giving underwear as a gift means cheating.

Don't rush to believe in omens

If you take a closer look at any forbidden item, then, for example, any fashionista will be happy with a mirror with backlighting.

As for handkerchiefs, in Western European countries and France in particular, this was a luxury item, and it was frivolous to refuse such gifts.

And in the East, a knife given as a gift is a symbol of respect and strength.

What to do?

It is believed that the consequences can be avoided by buying out the gift, that is, paying a symbolic fee for the item.

But research shows that most often, people who believe in bad omens are those who use superstitions to avoid responsibility – to shift the blame for what happened to circumstances or higher powers.
