Gifts are an important part of our lives. Some people like to give them, some like to receive them, some need a holiday, and some make others happy for no reason, just to see happy smiles on their favorite faces. After all, this is a manifestation of attention and it doesn’t matter how much your gift costs, what kind of wrapping it is packaged in, the main thing is that you give it with love.

But, unfortunately, there are also people who do not perceive this joyful process at all, and even deny it. Indeed, modern people sometimes become very callous, completely uninteresting, and stop performing small miracles.

There are a lot of superstitions or taboos, whatever you want to call it, around the process of congratulations. For example, for some reason you can’t give gifts in advance, supposedly this could bring some kind of trouble. Let's try to figure this issue out.

Let's start with the fact that gifts can be completely different: dedicated to an event or not, for close people or good friends, or business gifts, which are most often given in advance, and there is nothing scary or strange about that.

Traditions and beliefs

The wisdom of our ancestors explains this fact, since signs are based on the actions and incidents of a distant generation. It is impossible to make gifts before the appointed time; this will entail a number of troubles and bring misfortune or death to the owner. Emotional ascension also matters. Such a holiday. Like a birthday, it is celebrated once a year. On this day, the birthday person awaits attention, surprises, and exciting moments. Giving a gift in advance can spoil the mood and celebration. There is no point in waiting for the appointed day if you can celebrate and accept gifts earlier. You cannot wish disaster on a loved one; by giving a gift, you expose him to death ahead of time. In ancient times, people knew that the gift must be done at the appointed time, so as not to attract the gods of death.

Signs

1. This attracts trouble.
2. It shortens life.
3. This leads to death.

Indeed, such chilling signs can ruin the festive mood. But, if you thoroughly study the known superstitions, an interesting picture emerges. The terrible consequences described in the signs concern not so much gifts as congratulatory words. This is a very interesting observation. Some cunning people, when presenting a gift in advance, utter the phrase: “I do not congratulate you,” this verbal ritual is designed to protect the birthday person. Undoubtedly, with the right approach, you can find a way out of any situation and even outwit evil fate.

As you can see, it all depends on the personality of the recipient. A person who believes in omens has a subtle mental organization. He is susceptible to external stimuli because he is suspicious and partly suggestible. And if you do not take into account its principles, considering them relics of the past, and frivolously present a gift without waiting for the official date, then you threaten to cause real trouble.

Scientists have long proven that all diseases are caused by nerves. Just imagine that the birthday person who received your “early” gift will become fixated on signs explaining the reasons why gifts cannot be given in advance. From such negative thoughts it is not surprising to really get sick, and to confirm from your own experience the magical power of superstitions. Who does he think will be to blame? You. The person you wanted to please in advance with a wonderful gift can become an enemy. So much for good intentions paving the way to a very unattractive destination.

As they say: “A fairy tale is a lie, but there is a hint in it.” Even if you don’t believe in omens, be sure to listen to opposing opinions and other points of view in order to preserve close relationships.

Mikhail Merkulov (Forecaster)

Of course, you can congratulate and give gifts before your birthday, but the meaning inherent in this tradition loses its magical power. Congratulations have power precisely on your birthday and begin to come true with the blessing of a higher power.

It should also be noted that a gift given in advance from an unkind person may carry with it the negativity inherent in it, even if the giver did not do it purposefully, so one should mentally cross such a gift and say that we accept the gift itself and leave the inherent meaning to the owner. This concerns advance attention to the birthday person, so in order not to seem unfriendly, do not give gifts in advance and do not arouse unnecessary suspicion. Modern technologies, if desired, make it possible to send congratulations from anywhere in the world, be it a certificate or a regular money transfer.

Anna Voleva (Astrologer)

It depends on what you want to give and why. A person’s birthday gives an impetus (program) for the whole year. It is important to understand here that every year differs in time (and sometimes slightly in date) from the actual birthday. A person's new year of birth begins with the exact location of the Sun at the time of his birth.

12 days before the birthday, a “farewell” to the past year occurs, the year passes, and gifts from the next impulse may no longer be relevant, they will not give a boost to this or that area of ​​a person’s life (depending on the symbolism of the gift). However, you can give a gift in advance of the birth, the symbol of which will be farewell to the not very pleasant moments in life over the previous year. 12 days is a symbol of the 12 spheres of life or houses of the horoscope.

For example, if a person has been secluded in the last year, there have been some emotional experiences or loneliness, you can give things to establish peace of mind.

• 11 days in advance - give things related to a person’s hobby (for example, something didn’t work out, give a symbolic gift so that there are no such obstacles in the future).
• 10 days in advance - you can give gifts related to career and achieving goals (social status),
• for 9 – make a gift related to travel, education,
• for 8 – turning points, which means something a person needs to give up;
• for 7 – everything related to partnership (for example, knowing that a person has a conflict, you can give a symbol of reconciliation)
• for 6 – give everything related to health or daily duties (to make daily work easier)
• in 5 days you can give away everything related to human creativity,
• for 4 – family, home
• for 3 – intellectual work, daily movements (a book, something in the car, with symbols for changes from the previous year),
• for 2 – valuables (jewelry, etc.).
• On a birthday, the best gift would be anything related to a person’s personal initiatives, new endeavors, and movement into the future.

Anastasia Geliasto (Astrologer)

Gifts can be given and received, BUT! Congratulations on your birthday in advance (the day before) are not allowed. Indeed, there is such a sign that says that the one who is being congratulated may not live to see his birthday. There is also a version that this is how luck, happiness, health and well-being are “stolen” from a person who is congratulated in advance. At the energy level, a person is weak before his birthday, and if someone at this time congratulates him on a new life cycle (happy birthday), then at the level of weakening energy, a new life cycle starts. As a result, the year promises to be unsuccessful.

Are gifts given before the wedding?

Wedding- an important day for newlyweds. This is a celebration considered very superstitious and therefore every person certainly pays attention to many signs that precede him or that happen “day after day.”

Of course A wedding gift is best given on the day of the holiday itself.. This will cheer up the lovers and will please the guests. Such gifts, as a rule, are displayed in a prominent place in the banquet hall and everyone present has the opportunity to examine them.

If you do not want to give a gift to the newlyweds on their wedding day because it is simply uncomfortable for you to do so (for example, to carry it with you or it is not very expensive in terms of cost), you can deliver it to the cafe in advance and wrap it in gift wrapping. A gift is given packed young people, and it is not customary to unpack gifts right during the celebration.

On the other hand, if you want give money– this completely changes the situation. Thus, your gift can be considered “financial assistance” for the organization and celebration of the occasion. You can easily deliver a congratulatory speech on the day of the celebration orally, in writing or in a telephone conversation.

Is it possible to give gifts in advance for the New Year?

Unlike a birthday or wedding on New Year's, gifts are often given in advance, because on New Year's Eve itself it is impossible to see all colleagues, friends and relatives! Gifts given in advance create a festive mood. And there is also a sign why you can give gifts for the New Year ahead of time - in this way we hasten the approach of all the good things that are in store for us in the coming year and say goodbye to all the negative things that we have experienced or experienced in the outgoing year.

If you are still worried about a gift given to you or by you in advance, then agree not to open the packaging or not to use the gift before the agreed day. It turns out that you will only use or enjoy this thing when you print it out and take it out. And this will be done at the right time!

There is always a way out

Due to various beliefs, the question arises: “what to do if you can’t give a gift on the right day?” In this case, you can resort to several tricks.

Firstly, the gift can always be transferred with another person. This could be a person invited to the holiday or an acquaintance who agrees to come in and give a gift. In addition, there are all kinds of delivery services that will deliver a gift on the right day at the right time.

Secondly, the gift can be hidden. This option is more suitable for relatives and close friends. You need to hide the gift in advance, and on the day of the celebration call, congratulate in words and tell about the hiding place. You can make this process much more interesting if you leave the hero of the occasion a few clues by which he will have to find a gift.

Thirdly, there may be an option when the hero of the occasion must know about the gift in advance, for example, if it is a last minute trip, a rented cafe, an order from a photographer or toastmaster. In this case, you can notify about the gift in advance, because saying about the gift and giving it are two different things.

Thus, it is better not to break traditions and give gifts only on the day of celebration. This way the holiday itself will be more enjoyable, and you won’t have to think about superstitions. True, you still need to think about what exactly to give, because in this regard there are a lot of signs and rules of etiquette.

What birthday signs do you know? Unfortunately, many people forget that a birthday is an important holiday in the life of every person and the birthday person needs to know all the beliefs that are associated with this joyful day. Perhaps they will help make life happier and more comfortable.

Ancient signs for birthdays

But today we have received a wide variety of signs for, for Trinity, and so on. Ancient birthday signs are actually no less important, since they directly affect the entire next year of human life.

Everyone knows the phrase “ How you celebrate the New Year is how you will spend it" With your birthday everything is exactly the same. Unfortunately, most of the superstitions associated with this wonderful day have been lost, but we have the opportunity to preserve at least that part of the storehouse of wisdom of our ancestors that has survived to this day.

Today it is customary to give gifts to the birthday person. This tradition has been around for many years. However, few people know that in ancient times the hero of the occasion had to give purely symbolic gifts to everyone who came to the holiday.

It was believed that in this way you ensure a rich future for yourself. Even during the Soviet era, this tradition was preserved. Women were given perfume, representatives of the stronger sex - lighters. However, what is the reason for this belief?

It is believed that it is on this holiday that special spirits come to earth and watch how the birthday person behaves. If he is kind, supportive of everyone, generous and kind, then the spirits give this person all the blessings of life and make him successful.

In order to live in abundance in the next city, there was another sign. It was necessary to prepare a special dish. It was a pie in which buckwheat porridge and chicken eggs were always placed. Its peculiarity was that it was never placed on the table.

However, after the first toast to the health of the birthday boy was said, the eldest member of the family had to break half of the cake over the head of the hero of the occasion. Next, 2 parts of the pie were folded into a scarf. After the feast, the birthday boy had to bring food to the crossroads.

People believed that in this way he appeased both evil and good spirits. In turn, good spirits helped to improve personal life, strengthened health, authority, and financial situation, while evil spirits simply did not interfere with achieving their goals and drove away ill-wishers. The ancestors were sure that it was the joint meal of good and evil spirits that would help temporarily pacify their enmity.

If it rains on your birthday, the omen predicts wealth. Therefore, if it rains from morning to night on a holiday, do not despair. All year long, blessings will pour on you like from a horn of plenty, as signs of rain promise.

If you decide to congratulate someone on their birthday, then remember that you need to do it with all your heart. This way you convey all your positive energy to the birthday person. However, if it seems to you that one of the guests was insincere, actually wishes you harm, after you receive congratulations, whisper:

Your speeches hit your shoulders.

It is believed that this short pinch will help. However, it is impossible to say these words to each of the guests, since by such actions you will drive away the positive energy that other people have transmitted to you.

Did you know that candles on a birthday cake are actually more than just decoration? It was believed that when a person is born, another star lights up in the sky. However, after his death it fades away. People believed that this star was capable of fulfilling the deepest human desire, and candles were associated with it.

Therefore, by blowing out the candles, you are getting closer to the fulfillment of your cherished dream. It is believed that the smoke goes directly to your guardian angel and conveys your request to him. However, if you were unable to blow out all the candles at once, you can ask your guests to do it with you. This is not considered a bad sign.

If guests help put out the candles, it means that in the future they will be the ones who will be able to make your dream come true. Remember, there should not be 9, 13, 18, 21, 51, 99 and 100 candles on the cake. In addition, our ancestors never celebrated their fortieth or ninth anniversary. After all, these numbers are associated with memorial days.

Since ancient times, people have believed that if you ignore these birthdays, you can live a long and happy life, maintain your youth, beauty and health.

There are even beliefs that are associated with the number of guests at the celebration. It is believed that there should be an even number. The ancestors were convinced that an odd number would bring various troubles and sorrows. However, in the modern world this sign is often ignored.

Modern psychics, however, explain the negative attitude towards an odd number of guests this way: the one who came alone, who did not get a pair, can direct his anger at the hero of the occasion. Also, according to ancient legends, it was not worth inviting 13 people to the holiday. A large number of various legends have long been associated with this number.

According to one of them, this number brings death to the one who gets up first from the festive table. The same applies to a large number of guests. It is not advisable to invite exactly 100 people to a birthday party. However, most likely, the sign is connected with the fact that by inviting so many acquaintances, we let unfamiliar people into our close circle.

After all, you don’t know what plans they have for you, and perhaps they want to harm you. That is why it is better to invite those in whom you are confident to such an important holiday.

First of all, the hero of the occasion should not borrow money from someone or pay off old debts on this day. This can only be done before the holiday itself. The same applies to giving alms. Our ancestors believed that with such actions you are giving away your wealth, happiness and health, and not just helping others.

The birthday person is forbidden to change clothes during the celebration, as in this way he will lose all the positive energy accumulated during the day. If the outfit was ruined, this indicates that someone was trying to put the evil eye on you. In this case, of course, you can change your outfit.

Remember, a birthday is never celebrated before the set date. Since ancient times, people believed that in this case the hero of the occasion would become very ill, and maybe even die. After all, only the dead are remembered ahead of schedule.

According to the same belief, you cannot cook pancakes, since this is a funeral dish that was usually prepared for Maslenitsa. It was a bad symbol to hear a dog howling, as this also meant severe illness. Before his birthday, the birthday boy was forbidden to visit the sick, as he would become saturated with bad energy and could spend the next year in the hospital.

Garbage and broken dishes are thrown away only the next day, because otherwise you will throw away the happiness and positive energy that has been accumulated.

There are many signs regarding gifts. The most common of them is that what is given is not given. In any case, along with the gift you will give the message that was intended for you (good or bad).

As for wallets, bags, vases, various utensils, watches - many consider these gifts dangerous and unwanted. However, many people believe that if you give a ransom of a few coins for them, then the negative effects of the sign can be neutralized.

It is considered a bad omen to accept gifts of clothes (in particular ties, since this item can be used to cast a love spell), handkerchief, pearls, figurines and paintings with birds (considered harbingers of misfortune and bitter tears). If you don't want to offend the person, also give them a few coins in exchange for a gift.

It is very important to pay attention to how many flowers were presented in bouquets. It is believed that an even number will attract death, because usually 2, 4, 6, etc. flowers are carried to the graves of the dead. But if you do receive such a bouquet, break one flower and throw it away as soon as possible.

As a child, everyone wanted their birthday to last at least 2 days. In fact, that's how it is. However, the duration of the holiday is slightly longer - 12 days. After all, each of them is a symbol of each future month of the year.

First day characterizes you as a person. Today you can enjoy life, rethink some things, reconsider your value system, sort out your mistakes, and make a clear plan for the coming year.

Second day associated with prosperity. Pay special attention to your menu; it is believed that the more tasty and healthy food you eat on this day, the more productive your year will be financially.

Third day responsible for communication with other people. You can fantasize about relationship strategies, get rid of connections that weigh you down, and think about projects.

Fourth day connected to the family. Spend the day talking with your mom and dad. It is advisable to go to the cemetery and pay tribute to deceased relatives.

Fifth day highlight entertainment. If you have children, spend time with them and relax with friends.

Sixth day- show your loved one that you really care about him.

Seventh day- marriage. It is forbidden to quarrel, show aggression, enjoy time with your chosen one.

Eighth day responsible for magic and the supernatural. Take time to meditate, perhaps you will have a prophetic dream.

Ninth day- education and work. It's time to broaden your horizons, perhaps think about further education or development in the workforce.

Tenth day- success. It's time to get involved in the area of ​​activity in which you want to succeed in the coming year.

Hello, dear readers of the Sprint-Response website. Today is September 30, 2017, on Channel One there is an interesting game called "Who wants to become a millionaire?". All answers in the game dated September 30, 2017 can be found in the game review; the article can be accessed via the link above. But tomorrow will not be September 31, because we do not have Baron Munchausen, unfortunately he was in the singular.

What day, according to the film “That Same Munchausen,” did the title character give to his hometown?

Unfortunately, the players were unable to correctly answer the eleventh question of today's game and left with nothing. The question turned out to be really difficult, I myself did not know the exact answer. After all, we were confused by a film called “June 31st”.

“June 31” is a Soviet two-part television musical film in the fantasy genre based on the story of the same name by the English writer John Boynton Priestley, filmed in 1978. Significantly different from the book. This is one of the most significant works of director Leonid Kvinikhidze and composer Alexander Zatsepin.

As we can see, this film is not what we need to answer this question correctly. To answer the question, we need to turn to the desired text.

May 32 is another day of spring...

Mister Judge, please read it again
divorce letter from Baron von Munchausen.

“That’s why the court considered itself deeply offended, Your Highness.” We ask you to cancel the divorce decree.
- 29th, 30th, 31st...
- And so on.

Many of us have heard that some countries celebrate Boxing Day. But not many people know that something similar has also existed in Russia recently. The Russians did not copy imported traditions and came up with their own, unique holiday. This day is not marked in red on the calendar and is only a reason to please your loved ones with gifts.

This holiday is in the UK

Boxing Day was originally planned so that families could continue to enjoy each other's company after Christmas. That's why Boxing Day is celebrated on December 26th. In the UK, this day is a legal holiday, and if it coincides with a Sunday, it is carried over to the next day. The British sacredly honor their centuries-old traditions, so everyone knows the history of the origin of the holiday. Several centuries ago, the day after, employers sought to reward their workers and distributed money and valuables among them. Weaving factories rewarded their workers with cloth, and grocery stores with food.

Tradition in modern society

Nowadays, this tradition has transformed, and now people in the UK have a unique opportunity to buy goods at reduced prices in the post-Christmas sale. It is also customary to attend various sporting events on Boxing Day. As the founders of football, the British did not miss the opportunity to make an additional round in the Premier League championship.

What do they give?

You can give anything on this day. The main thing is that the gift is packaged in a beautiful holiday box. After all, Boxing Day literally translates as “day of boxes.” All service workers usually receive congratulations on Boxing Day. Despite the fact that the British, like everyone else in the world, are caught up in the holiday rush, they are so polite that they do not forget to write a few words to all the people with whom they interacted during the year. All salespeople, postmen, laundry workers and other service personnel receive holiday cards with warm congratulations. The post office is working in enhanced mode and delivering more than a billion postcards to various recipients.

Several versions of occurrence

Now this holiday is often called the second Christmas day. But no one has come to a single version of the origin of this holiday. Too many sources are eager to claim credit. In addition to the fact that employers presented their workers with valuable things, servants were also encouraged in each house. The owners also sought to thank the servants for their good work throughout the year, giving gifts and giving them a day off.

The churches collected all the offerings that were received on Christmas and distributed them the next day to all those in need. Well, the name of a Christmas gift in Great Britain echoes the name of the holiday itself. Hence the interesting version of the origin of the name. The fact is that on Christmas night in every family the child traditionally received a box with a gift. The children went to bed, and the next morning they hurried to the tree in the hope of finding the treasured contents.

Boxes everywhere

They were not particularly interested in the boxes themselves and were immediately thrown somewhere in a corner. In large families, the day after Christmas the house was literally bursting with empty holiday boxes. This is exactly how a funny name could appear, which when interpreted into other languages ​​looks more euphonious. On this day, all boxes were to be liquidated. There is a version that people could return a gift they didn’t like back to the store.

By the way, these days Boxing Day, in addition to the grandiose Christmas sale, promises many modern workers various bonuses and incentives from employers.

How do you spend this day?

Christmas is already behind us, behind countless preparations, fuss and waste of nervous energy. On December 26, you can breathe a sigh of relief and spend this day enjoying the company of your family. Most often, the British prefer to go outdoors outside the city, they meet with their relatives and friends. Ardent fans of shopping are ready to stay in stores half the night just to be among the first at great sales.

Previously, on this day, the English elite loved to hunt foxes. They put on red festive uniforms, mounted horses and surrounded themselves with a whole pack of hunting dogs. Now hunting for animals is officially prohibited, so gambling people are increasingly inclined to attend horse races.

Officially, this holiday is celebrated in all countries. Therefore, in addition to Great Britain, this day is officially celebrated in all its former colonies and dominions: Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, Canada and several small island states.

This day in Russia

Russian citizens in the 20th century moved away from the tradition of celebrating Christmas on a grand scale, so our Boxing Day cannot be copied from its British counterpart. Therefore, a group of enterprising and enterprising individuals decided to establish something similar on September 20, 2012. Who knows, maybe this tradition will take root, and soon we will have another legal day off? Anyone can attend an event of the so-called High Gift Fashion and pick up gifts for or

Introduction to high gift fashion

The purpose of the event is to familiarize the mass consumer with industry innovations. It’s no secret that most people are constantly racking their brains over what to give to their family and friends on occasion. And therefore, offerings are reduced to banal certificates, envelopes with money, cosmetics, household appliances and jewelry. Many people like to give cool birthday gifts, but not everyone knows where to get original ideas.

With your own hands

Even if people don't have enough money for a gift from a branded designer, people can borrow some ideas for their own creative inspiration at the introductory exhibitions. After all, as you know, for our loved ones, the most important thing is often not the gift itself, but attention. Therefore, if you don’t know what to do for your husband, mother or daughter, be sure to attend a gift party.

There is always a creative workshop at the event, where everyone can take part in making a unique gift. Even a mug with your own autograph, a T-shirt with a fun message you've written yourself, or a creatively designed umbrella will be a great way to start your personal design journey in

Well, you can borrow the ambiance and design from the British. Very often we neglect the rule of arranging our presentations beautifully, believing that this is unnecessary. Undoubtedly, the bright box will quickly be opened and immediately pushed into the corner. However, the very fact of anticipating a miracle at the moment when a loved one or child opens a beautiful package, his emotions, are worth a lot.

Conclusion

Have you already come up with original birthday greetings? With handmade gifts, your loved ones will remember the holiday for a long time.

Signs for a birthday: what to do, what not to do, what not to give

Birthday is the date of birth of a person, which has been fraught with many mysteries, magic and secrets since ancient times. It is believed that on this day a person is, as it were, “born again.” That is why there are many signs associated with this holiday, the observance of which can attract good luck, happiness and success in the future life of the birthday person.

Birthday signs: what to do on your birthday

It turns out that the New Year's sign “how you celebrate the New Year is how you will spend it” applies to a greater extent to the birthday, since on this day the individual program of the birthday person for the entire coming year is laid out.

Tune in to POSITIVE immediately after waking up on your birthday. So, you will be open to the flow of positive energy from the Higher powers, which is so strong that it can even reanimate a damaged aura. In addition, if you have the evil eye, then on this day your GOOD MOOD will help you get rid of it.

Forget about your problems. Think only about good things, because what you wish for on this day will come into your life. Otherwise, negative emotions will block the flow of light energy, and you may suffer from black magic and energy vampires.

It is good to make prayer requests to God. On your birthday, He will definitely hear you and fulfill your prayers.

Be sure to celebrate this day (with guests or alone, it doesn’t matter). Wear a new outfit, purchased in advance, including underwear (worn items can scare away your luck). To attract financial wealth for the whole year, put money in your pocket (if there are no pockets, hem it from the inside out). Stay in this outfit until the end of the celebration, no matter what happens (gets dirty, torn, etc.). And, most importantly, remember the old saying: “how you celebrate this day, you will spend the whole year this way,” right up to your next birthday.

Birthday signs: what not to do on your birthday

It is important for the birthday person to know what he should not do on his personal holiday.

Since ancient times, it was believed that you should not celebrate your birthday in advance - by doing this you will shorten your life.

Do not borrow anything, either the day before your birthday or during it (not only money, but also any products are prohibited). This can lead to financial problems, troubles and conflicts at work for a whole year.

Don't give alms or lend money to anyone on your birthday - give away good luck and prosperity for the coming year.

Try to minimize, or even better, refrain from communicating with sick people - you can “drag” other people’s illnesses onto yourself. Better yet, for the purpose of self-defense, put a silver item (any) in your pocket - it will strengthen your energy field and protect you from diseases.

On your birthday, the line between you and the subtle world becomes very thin, which makes you especially susceptible to both good and bad. Therefore, exclude people who are unpleasant to you from the list of invited people in advance.

The number of guests invited, as well as the number of candles on the holiday table and cake, can also affect your coming year. It is believed that 9, 13, 18, 51, 21, 13, 99 or 100 guests should not be present at the holiday - such a number brings disaster to the birthday person. If your age matches one of the above numbers, then it is better to buy candles in the form of these numbers, or completely abandon them.

If someone breaks dishes on their birthday, they should say: “For good luck!” You can throw out the fragments, like taking out the trash, only the next day - so as not to take good luck out of the house.

Signs for a birthday: what not to give on your birthday

Birthday gifts can also have a magical effect on the fate of the birthday person. Therefore, let’s remember the signs, acting on the principle “forewarned is forearmed.” The flowers given should be an odd number (count bush roses by stems). Otherwise, remove one flower from the bouquet and place it in a separate vase. Well, or completely send the flower gift to the trash bin.

It is not advisable to give haberdashery and ceramic dishes (wallets, gloves, vases, etc.), as this will lead to troubles at work and money problems. If the gift has already been given, let the giver, or the birthday person, put a coin in them.

A knife as a gift, like any piercing or cutting objects (needles, scissors, etc.) can lead to quarrels in the family. It's better not to give them. And if it has already been given to you, then get rid of such a gift.

Gifted pearls bring tears. A donated handkerchief also leads to them. To avoid this, soak the handkerchief in holy water before use.

A mirror is a portal between the real world and the other world. Since our energy field weakens on our birthday, a mirror received as a gift can play a negative role in the fate of the birthday person. You can look at it only the next day!

Remember, you should not accept gifts from people whose integrity you are not sure of. Otherwise, you may get a “surprise” in the form of damage or lining. It is better to get rid of gifts from such donors, and under no circumstances re-gift them. If it is not possible to refuse, when taking a gift, say to yourself: “I take only what I see, and keep what is invisible for myself.” And mentally cross yourself!
