Every person expects at least congratulations on their birthday, but also counts on gifts, because this is a pleasant gesture from relatives and friends.
But, according to popular beliefs, not all things can be given for a birthday. There are gifts that can bring trouble.
Watch
A practical and valuable thing that will be useful to many. But this gift promises a quick separation, and in eastern countries, arrows are a symbol of the transience of life.
Knives
In many countries around the world, it is not customary to give knives as birthday or other holiday gifts. It is believed that this item "cuts off" good relations, sowing conflicts and rivalry between the giver and the birthday boy.
Dishes and kitchen utensils
It is especially dangerous to present empty dishes. They say that this gesture can bring poverty to the person who accepts the gift. Therefore, it is better to refuse this gift, if you believe the omen.
Ties
People say that a gift in the form of a tie can “tie” the birthday boy to you.
Boxes and decorative candles
A popular belief says that candles are given as gifts for funerals. If the person who receives such a gift is superstitious, he may think that the giver wishes him death.
A box is a practical and valuable gift. But, according to signs, the person who receives it will begin to hide his thoughts, feelings and actions from the giver.
