Some gifts are considered a bad omen among superstitious people. We have compiled a stop list of such gifts.
Symbol of 2023 is the Black Water Rabbit. This cute animal loves a simple home life, comfort and cleanliness, so New Year’s gifts should be practical, useful. The gift should be unexpected and pleasant.
It is better not to give useless or handmade trinkets. You should not give away banalities such as combs, shower gels, shaving foam. Bad taste – perfume or toilet water. Rabbits do not like strong smells.
This should not be prepared for the New Year’s table 2023 – the year of the Rabbit
What gifts are not good to give?
1. Watches – our ancestors were convinced that such a gift steals people’s time. If the recipient has been wanting something like this for a long time, let him give a few coins. So this will not be considered a gift but a purchase and the omen will not work.
2. Mirror – many superstitious people are convinced that this object opens the door to the world of the dead. New Year is a mystical time when all portals are open. If the mirror has already been bought as a gift, then you can give holy water along with it.
3. A towel – a piece of cloth has always been considered a ceremonial object not only at a wedding, baptism, but also at a funeral. The same could be said for other funerary paraphernalia: slippers and candles. And who needs such a gift?
4. Money – used to be considered bad form, now passes into the category of the norm. But if the recipient is one of the Old Believers, better give a voucher for the desired department of the store.
5. Gold jewelry – this precious metal is associated with the element of Fire. And the symbol of the coming year is the Black Water Rabbit. Such a gift will not bring luck in 2023.
New Year’s traditions for the beginning of 2023 around the world
What makes a rabbit happy?
Everything that can remind home comfort. If your loved one has long wanted to have a pet, then the New Year is a suitable holiday for such a gift. But a live gift must be negotiated. Otherwise, you can harm the animal and spoil your relationship with the friend.
If you give a picture, then it can depict a sea, a lake, a waterfall or a forest. In no case – predatory and aggressive animals or mountains. As a small gift, a mascot figurine with the symbol of the year – the Rabbit – is suitable.
