“My wife promised a gift for February 23rd. I just don’t have the patience to find out what color the socks will be this year!” This is a real life anecdote. Lovely ladies often prefer to leave their imagination on hairstyles and do not bother with gifts for the strong-sexed for Defender of the Fatherland Day. That's why they present men with standard "gentleman's sets" - socks, shorts, shaving foam. And whoever gives socks to her husband runs the risk of getting a set of frying pans on March 8! Isn't it time to break this "vicious circle"? Moreover, folk signs suggest that such gifts do not bode well. For those who listen to the wisdom of their ancestors, we decided to remind you which gifts, according to the beliefs of different peoples, you should beware of.
1) Clock.
Such a gift in many countries is not honored. The Chinese especially don't like it. They believe that the donated clock counts down the time until the death of a person. We don’t have such a gloomy superstition about watches, but still unpleasant: they say that a watch as a gift promises a quick quarrel.
2) Knives.
Among European peoples, it is considered a bad sign to give any piercing and cutting objects. Allegedly, they will bring misfortune to the house. We have the same interpretation of this gift from Western countries. But in Latin America, for example, a cutting object symbolizes the desire to break off any kind of relationship with the "gifted". Meanwhile, in the Caucasus and the Middle East, donating weapons is in the order of things. And such gifts do not bother anyone there ...
3) Socks.
It is believed that it is better for a woman not to give her husband socks, as he can leave home in them. However, some wives use this sign for their own benefit - they incite mothers-in-law to give socks to their sons so that their husbands get out of the influence of their mothers.
4) Handkerchiefs.
This sign is inherent only in Orthodox countries. They believe that giving a handkerchief is to tears.
5) Books.
Some say that a book is the best gift. And someone thinks that only if it is a gift to yourself. Or, at worst, an unmarried friend, relative. The main thing, according to popular belief, is not to a loved one. According to signs, giving a book to your soulmate is a parting.
Also, the belief says that you can not give books to married couples. Allegedly, this can provoke discord and betrayal in the family.
6) Pearls.
The sign came from Ancient Greece, where pearls were considered the tears of sea nymphs. Now, superstitious people say that pearls as a gift are a harbinger of tears.
7) Mirrors.
Many superstitions are associated with mirrors in different cultures. No wonder they are often used for divination. Therefore, it is believed that donated mirrors can bring trouble to the house.
8) Dishes.
The most important thing here is not to inadvertently give cracked or chipped dishes. Allegedly, this can “break” the life of the recipient. In this regard, I would like to recall the tradition of breaking dishes at a wedding. It is believed that the newlyweds do this to leave all the hardships outside the new family.
If you still decide to donate dishes, then you need to put something inside. For example, a coin. Otherwise, they say, empty dishes can attract lack of money into the house.
9) Figurines of birds.
It is believed that figurines of any birds can bring anxiety and fussiness to the house. Therefore, if you decide to give some figurines, it is better to do without birds.
10) An empty wallet, bag or suitcase.
These gifts are good only if they are filled with something. It is advised to put a coin in a wallet, and even a candy in a bag or suitcase.
11) Animals or plants.
If you decide to give someone a cat, a dog (a parrot and others like them) or a flower in a pot, then be sure to ask for a “ransom”. Symbolic, of course. Let it be a small denomination, for example. Otherwise, according to popular belief, the “living gift” will not be able to find a place for itself in a new house - supposedly it will look for a way to the former owner.
12) Slippers.
The belief regarding slippers remained mainly in rural areas. It is believed that giving slippers is a long illness or even death. Superstitious people are especially bad at white slippers.
13) Jewelry from amber.
They say that such a gift for parting.
14) Caskets.
Superstitious people believe that if you present a box to someone, the recipient will later hide his thoughts from the giver.
15) Hair combs.
It is believed that such a gift will help others find out your secrets.
16) Gloves, mittens and scarves.
There is no clear explanation for this sign. They just say that such gifts can quarrel people.
17) Tie.
It is believed that the tie "binds" the wearer to the donor. There are even many love spells with ties. Therefore, you can give a tie only to a very close person.
18) Knitted things.
This sign applies only to unmarried girls. It is believed that giving your loved one something hand-tied before the wedding is a betrayal.
19) Underwear.
It is believed that underwear given by a wife to her husband can push him to treason.
20) Chains.
If suddenly the donated chain breaks (and no one is insured here), then according to popular belief, this can lead to a break in relations with its donor.
21) Towels.
It is believed that such a gift can bring illness to the recipient.
22) Pectoral crosses.
There is a belief that crosses can only be given at baptism. Otherwise, allegedly, a person transfers to the recipient a part of his “cross” - his worries, illnesses, hardships. Meanwhile, the church refutes such superstitions and does not oppose the donation of pectoral crosses in any circumstances.
23) Cosmetics for shower and washing.
There is a version that because of the donated shower gel, someone can “wash away” from your life.
24) Candles.
There is a superstition that candles are given for funerals. Alas, if you believe in omens, then you should refuse cute decorative candles as a gift.
25) Alcoholic drinks.
And this sign, perhaps, was invented by the Ministry of Health ... There is a version that a gift of alcohol can take away the health of the recipient. And here, unlike many of the previous paragraphs, you can catch at least some logic!
It is worth noting that almost any sign can be bypassed. To do this, you just need to ask the recipient for a symbolic "ransom" for the gift. Even a penny will do! And then it will no longer be a gift, but a purchase. And "gift signs" do not work on her.
WHAT TO GIVE?
Accept about good gifts, alas, less than about bad ones. But some of them can be taken into account.
1) Pillows.
Paired pillows received as a gift promise harmony and contentment to the whole family at home.
2) Carpet.
It is believed that a carpet as a gift will bring the recipient good luck in all endeavors.
3) Tablecloth.
A donated tablecloth will strengthen the friendship between the giver and the recipient.
4) Sunglasses.
If a man makes such a gift to his wife, it is believed that she will argue with him less. Because he sees the world through his eyes.
5) Pen.
Writing affiliation is advised to give bosses. They say that they will listen more to the donor.
BY THE WAY
Signs related to the method of donation
1) There is a version that money cannot be given after sunset. Allegedly, this promises a need not to the recipient, but to the donor himself. If there is a need to donate money in the evening, it is advised not to pass it from hand to hand, but to put it on the table so that the person can take it himself.
2) It is not good to re-gift gifts. And not only from an ethical point of view. According to popular beliefs, when re-gifting, the “energy of a thing” changes for the worse.
3) Do not make gifts through the threshold. It is believed that it is necessary to enter the house.
4) You can not give any presents before the person's birthday. If you have to congratulate someone in advance, you can pack a gift and give it to the birthday person on the condition that he unpacks the gift on the holiday.
5) As for flowers, the main sign here is to give them in an odd number. And lovers are also not advised to present bouquets of yellow flowers. It's supposed to be separation.
IMPORTANT
Concluding the conversation about signs, I would like to emphasize that the above is just interesting elements of the cultures of different peoples. And first of all, ours, of course. There is no scientific basis for all these signs. Therefore, to believe them or not is a purely personal matter. Most modern people consider signs to be a relic of the past. And we are sure that the main thing is to give a gift from the heart! Perhaps yes - this is really the most important thing, regardless of whether you believe in signs or not.
MEANWHILE
And what should not be given according to the rules of etiquette?
Some gifts should not be given not because of superstition, but for reasons of decency:
1) One of the main rules of etiquette in terms of gifts is to always remove price tags from any presentation. Otherwise, the recipient may get the impression that you wanted to emphasize the value of your gift.
2) It is also considered bad form to give someone hygiene products and cosmetics. First, you can not guess with the preferences of the recipient. And secondly, it can be regarded as an unpleasant hint of untidiness.
3) It is also ugly to give books with your own signature on the cover (only if you are not the author of the work). When presenting a book, do not dirty it. Better add a signed greeting card.

We all like to have breakfast, lunch and dinner at a beautifully set table. Table, tea and coffee sets make any feast refined and enjoyable. The good mood of the companions, caused by the aesthetic decoration of the table, saturates the aura of the room with even positive energy, which has a beneficial effect on the health and mood of the household. But it often happens that some items from the service become unusable - they break, crack, etc. Connoisseurs of household magic tell us: “A meal at a table set with items from various sets leads to discord in the family. Children begin to become stubborn and act directly opposite to the wishes of their parents, the spouses become dissatisfied with each other, that is, what is called family discord occurs. Esotericists argue that food intake affects not only a person’s health, but also his activity. The type of court from which a person eats is of great importance, since the most delicious dish will not give pleasure if it is not beautifully presented. And eating without positive emotions leads to the following: a person begins to get irritated for no reason, is constantly out of sorts, that is, exudes vibes of negative emotions, which in turn not only hinder his undertakings, but also gradually destroy what a person managed to achieve. .
Many peoples of the world have signs associated with incomplete service:
"Drinking tea from different sets - forget about prosperity in the house" (English omen).
“Those who eat from assorted dishes do not argue and life is not built” (Portuguese sign).
“A plate from the service away - the daughter will not marry her husband. The cup from the service is broken - the son will have to be beaten ”(German sign).
“A complete set of dishes is a full bowl in the house, an incomplete set is ruin” (Hungarian omen).
“Putting objects from different sets on the table is driving good luck and success out of the house” (Bulgarian sign).
“A beautiful service is a good companion for love, a scattered one is an evil lovebird” (Italian proverb).
So what to do if some item from the service is broken, and it’s a pity to throw out the remaining items, it’s impossible to donate, and it’s problematic to sell? To begin with, it should be noted: if the family consists of four people, and a plate broke at the service for six people, you should get rid of the items that have become superfluous, leaving the number of dishes according to the number of households. Having thus compiled a new complete set, you need to read a “cleansing” plot over it:
“In the sea-ocean, on the island of Buyan, lies the white-combustible Alatyr-stone. Under that stone, two trickles-rivulets flow, not simple trickles, but charmed ones. One jet is dead water, the other jet is living water. I'll pick up two jugs from the jets. One with dead water, the other with live water. I will sprinkle dead water on what is to be thrown away and demolished, and live on what I leave in the house. May my cups not yearn for sisters in separation, let my plates not grieve for brothers, but serve me faithfully, for many years, for many years. Amen, amen, amen."
This plot will be most effective if you read it while washing the items left from the service. But if it so happened that there were fewer items of some kind left in the service than household members, it should be thrown out.
Of particular danger is the last item from the service left by the owner.
Esotericists say that such an object “forges” over broken relatives and “is indignant” at negligent people who have deprived it of its usual “society”. They warn that the last item from the service can cruelly "revenge people" for their loneliness. There are two ways to protect yourself from his revenge. The first way: if the item is of value, for example, it is handmade or made of expensive material, you need to do the following with it. At night, pour a small amount of silver water into it and pour fresh rose petals (you can use dried lavender herb). About whispering three times: "Forgive me, goodbye, promise not to harm." In the morning (before noon), leave the house and give the item to the first old woman you meet, saying: “Take a plate (cup), grandmother, let her make you happy. Eat (drink) from it, remember me (name) with a kind word. The main condition of this ritual is that the old woman should never be in your house.
There is no need to be afraid that a single object will harm an elderly woman. When changing "habitats", dishes have the property of "losing memory". Appearing in an unfamiliar place, your item will “forget” everything that happened to it before and will become completely safe.
The second way: the last item from the service must be broken, the fragments carefully folded into a box and buried as far as possible from the house. In no case should fragments be thrown into a trash can or garbage chute (the negative energy of a single object will affect a person from there as well).
Some people collect porcelain coffee or tea cups. As a rule, various single items are purchased for the collection. Displayed in a cupboard or on shelves, they are not dangerous, unless a person begins to use them for their intended purpose.
It should be remembered that a single object will bring loneliness to a person, therefore, no matter how great the desire to drink tea from such a cup is, it is better not to do this (especially this advice applies to single or childless women). Single cups should not be served to guests. According to esotericists, such items can destroy the strongest friendly ties and "set" the guest against the host.
Not a single housewife can do without dishes, and it has been used almost since ancient times, so a lot of signs and superstitions associated with it have appeared. Consider the most famous of them.
superstition
So, what are the signs associated with dishes?
- Many people associate broken dishes with happiness, but in fact, initially, on the contrary, they personified troubles. So, among the Slavs, a clay pot was a symbol of well-being, which was given by the god Yarilo (this is the pagan god of the sun). And if such an object was broken, then it was believed that Yaril was shown disrespect, for which he could punish. And the phrase “for good luck” was probably some kind of protection from troubles, a conspiracy from adversity that the sun god could bring to the house of a sloppy housewife who broke dishes.
- Why can't you store broken dishes at home? Its energy is negative, it is associated with losses, destruction. Therefore, if in your closet there is a very expensive and beautiful cup with a chip, which is very expensive for you, then in this way you literally scare off well-being and good luck, therefore it is advisable to get rid of such items. By the way, it is especially important to throw out all the dishes broken during a quarrel, since its energy is especially dangerous and strong.
- A person who eats from a knife can become harmful and evil. This is probably due to the energy of aggression that all sharp objects carry (after all, they are usually used for fighting).
- If a knife fell from the table, then a man will come into the house soon, and if a fork or spoon, then you need to wait for the woman. If the guests are unwanted, then the object must be knocked on the floor three times, then no one will come.
- When laying the table, first of all, a salt shaker should be placed on it in order to avoid disagreements and quarrels.
- There is a belief that the hostess should put a knife under the tablecloth. In this case, all guests will be satisfied and well-fed.
- It is customary to break dishes at weddings. But why do they do it? It is believed that such a gesture will leave behind all hardships and troubles and start family life from scratch so that it is long and happy.
- If a girl who really wants a child drinks from a glass or mug from which a pregnant woman drank, then soon she will also become pregnant, since this object is “charged” with special energy, and it can be transmitted.
- If some piece of utensil suddenly cracked, and for no apparent reason, this may portend some disagreements in the family, quarrels, or financial difficulties. But in order to avoid all this, such dishes should be thrown away.
- If a woman broke a filled glass, then she should be more attentive to her other half. Probably, the man has another, or he admits the possibility of betrayal.
- If a man breaks a glass, then this can promise him success in business, material well-being, good luck in business or profitable transactions.
- You can’t stick a knife into bread, and even more so leave it in this position, it is believed that due to such a manifestation of disrespect for food, in the future it may become much less in the house.
- If you accidentally dropped a cup, then a good person will probably notice you in the near future.
- If you accidentally broke a plate, then this can bode well.
- Suddenly a glass breaks? This may indicate that you may soon begin a romantic relationship.
- Never leave dirty dishes overnight. There are several reasons for this. The first and most obvious: the next day, food residues on the surface will dry out, and it will be much more difficult to wash them off. The second reason is the brownie's discontent.
