The New Year is already very, very close. Almost everyone feels its breath.
Or rather, the breath of the Green Wooden Snake, which is the main symbol and patron of the entire year 2025.
People flocked to stores to buy gifts.
Yes, it’s better to do it in advance, otherwise at the last minute in a rush you might make a mistake and buy the wrong thing.
How not to make a mistake when choosing a gift
But even now, making a “slow and thoughtful” purchase can lead to making the wrong decision.
Why? Because there are gifts that are absolutely forbidden to give or receive in the Year of the Green Snake.
This reptile is associated with wisdom, flexibility, elasticity and optimism.
Accordingly, gifts should be in keeping with her. Or at least not contradict the snake's essence.
Figurines, copies, "with a sparkle"
You cannot give figurines or pictures of animals that are considered enemies of the Snake. For example, a mongoose or an eagle.
The Snake values everything genuine, so budget jewelry or brand copies will clearly not be to her liking.
Since one of the main elements of the New Year is wood, you should not give things that have – even the most remote – relation to fire.
Fire is the enemy of wood. Therefore, such items as candles or lighters can “burn” the luck of the recipient or the giver in 2025.
Watches, wallets, bags
The Snake does not like watches, which are already considered a bad gift: if they are given to birthday people or loved ones, there may be separation from him.
The same applies to the coming New Year. The snake may turn away from you – which means that luck will turn away too.
Empty wallets and bags are also taboo as gifts. Otherwise, they will negatively affect the financial well-being of the person they are given to.
But if you are already giving such a gift, then put a coin or a small bill in the bag or wallet.
