12 things you shouldn't give as gifts, giving the wrong things will cause trouble

Welcoming and seeing off guests seems to be something that everyone will encounter, but do you know the etiquette involved?

Today I want to tell my friends that there are 12 things that you should not give as gifts. Giving the wrong things can cause disaster.

1. You cannot give away wallets

Giving a wallet as a gift usually means that you are giving your own "money treasury" to others. For friends who have given a wallet as a gift, think about whether you will have bad fortune in the future? Or are you seriously losing money? Or are you unable to get the money back in time? Dr. Zheng reminds you to be cautious when giving wallets. Of course, it is usually no problem between couples or lovers because they have physical contact and are like-minded.

2. You cannot give away swords

Some friends like to give "Peach Blossom Sword" to others so that they can cut off the bad peach blossoms, but as a result, they suffer a lot of peach blossom disasters themselves; some friends, seeing their relatives or friends moving or getting married or other happy events, buy a set of kitchen knives and forks as gifts for others, but strangely, their own fortunes plummet afterwards. Remember Dr. Zheng’s phone number: be careful when sending swords. In addition, if someone gives you a sword as a gift, you should also keep it carefully.

3. Don’t send “God of Wealth”

When a friend opens a shop or starts a business, his relatives and friends will give him the "God of Wealth" as a gift. In fact, Dr. Zheng tells you that from the perspective of feng shui, you should be cautious when sending the God of Wealth. Otherwise, your fortune will likely stagnate. Of course, the recipient should also pay attention. Usually, one has to go to the temple in person to invite the gods and Buddhas. One cannot invite them casually, nor can one casually accept the "God of Wealth" given by others. Otherwise, both the sender and the receiver will have financial problems.

4. Don’t give a fish tank as a gift. A friend asked Dr. Zheng to check the feng shui of his house, and found out why his fortune has been bad since he got a fish tank. It turned out that she didn't know that fish tanks, like the "God of Wealth", cannot be given or accepted casually. What's more, some people's numerology prohibits them from keeping fish, so the fish tank cannot be given away casually. When placing a fish tank, you must first consider whether it suits you, and then it depends on its shape, size, placement, height, number of fish, type, quantity, color, etc.

5. You cannot give a watch as a gift

Some people say that you should not give a clock as a gift, because "zhong" is a homonym for "end", and giving a clock to someone is equivalent to hoping for that person's death. The watch also belongs to Zhongke. You can see how many corrupt officials have been brought down or even lost their lives because of wearing the brand-name watches of those who gave bribes.

6. Don’t send shoes as gifts

"Xie" is a homonym for "xie". Therefore, giving shoes to others (excluding gifts to relatives) is equivalent to sending evil spirits to that person, and therefore, it is very likely that you will lose contact or friendship with that person soon.

7. Don’t send an umbrella

"Umbrella" is a homonym of "scatter", and therefore, an umbrella cannot be given as a gift (except for the situation of giving an umbrella in the rain). If good friends give each other an umbrella as a gift, it means that they will break up or be separated in the future.

8. Do not send pears or plums

Pear and plum are homophones of "li" (parting), so giving these two fruits to others will mean the danger of separation in the future!

9. Can’t send candles

Candles are used to commemorate the dead, so they cannot be given as gifts.

10. Do not send dolls as gifts

Rag dolls and human-shaped objects such as masks are considered villains. If left in the home for a long time, they can easily attract evil spirits and bring unrest to the family.

11. Don’t give away stones or antiques of unknown origin.

Stones and antiques are things that easily attract evil spirits to attach to them. Some of them may look like ornamental stones or valuable antiques, but they may be possessed by evil spirits, so it is not auspicious to give them as gifts.

12. Don’t give pillows as gifts. Pillows are a necessity for everyone at night, but if you give pillows to others casually, it means that you will have fewer days of “sleeping soundly” in the future. On the contrary, troubles will follow. Therefore, be careful when giving pillows as gifts. However, there is no problem between lovers.
