A special holiday with an amazing atmosphere is approaching - New 2018, the year of the Yellow Earth Dog. New Year's bustle and worries are always burdensome, but pleasant. In parallel with the hassle, there is an important task - the choice of gifts. I would like to find something useful, pleasant and memorable. But when choosing presents, you should remember the signs that say about favorable gifts. Something can be given, and some things are strictly prohibited. In order to win over the future hostess of 2018, you need to know her preferences. Then next year you will find a reliable patron and loyal friend in the person of a dog.
What cannot be gifted in the Year of the Dog?
In 2018, the Yellow Earth Dog takes over. Therefore, you need to know her desires, preferences in everyday life, character, what she likes to eat, etc. Then avoid ridiculous situations, make the right choice of a gift and win the favor of the hostess of the year.
The dog is not particularly demanding. She is unpretentious in everyday life, does not pretend to be luxury and is not picky about food. She is distinguished by modesty, restraint and simplicity. The question arises: "Is it possible to present expensive gifts in the New Year?" It is possible and even necessary if this is a close and beloved person for you. The dog is too educated, so it will not demand an expensive gift. But it is quite possible to take the initiative and pamper your loved ones. It is important to keep in mind that you cannot present jewelry in the form of rings and neck (wrist) chains. This symbolizes the restriction of freedom, so the Dog will not approve of this. If you want to give jewelry, then stop at earrings for a girl and high-quality cufflinks for a man.
A gift in the form of hygiene items will be inappropriate: a comb, shampoo, soap, perfume. The dog does not like toiletries, water treatments and brushing. A domestic animal will be angry with tight and uncomfortable clothes. Because the animal is free in choice and movement. It should not be presented as a gift to a pet, in particular kittens. This gesture will be misunderstood by the mistress of the year, which will entail misfortune. The same applies to soft and plush toys in the form of cats, lions, tigers …
Prohibited New Year gifts for etiquette and superstition for the New Year 2018
Any addition for home comfort and family wealth is always desirable. However, some gifts presented for this holiday are considered bad form. We'll talk about them below.
Watch
Watches have always been treated with caution. Our ancestors considered them magical and magical. Despite the fact that many years have passed, but the superstition still remains. It has taken root in our subconsciousness and genetic memory. Surely the one who presents the watch is not influenced by the otherworldly influence and considers it a natural act. However, the receiving party may have a different attitude, and one can only imagine the state of receiving such a gift. Exit: upon receipt of the watch, you must be paid symbolic money for it. Then the gift will turn into a purchase.
Mirror
The mirror has always been ranked among the dark forces. It was considered a bad omen, since it takes the soul from the one who is reflected in it. A mirror should be treated the same way as a watch: having presented it as a gift, receive a minimum monetary reward. At the same time, you need to give a little holy water.
Towel
The towel was never considered a gift. This item is more associated with rituals at weddings, christenings, and is also present at funerals. It is unlikely that anyone will like this gift. But deciding on such a step, choose a terry towel, not a waffle option. And do not forget to take a nominal fee for it, as with the previous gifts. It will look like it was bought from you.
Candles
A burning candle accompanies us throughout our lives. But it is also lit when someone leaves for another world. Previously, people presented it as a practical matter. This was not considered a gift for the holiday, but was regarded as a kind gesture and a practical product. But with the advent of electricity, they began to be used exclusively for performing rituals. A huge assortment of beautiful festive decorative candles is on sale today. After giving them for the New Year, ask for something in return.
Slippers
Slippers are a bad omen that has appeared recently. Since in the old days a deceased person was covered with a shroud, and his legs were covered with a piece of cloth. Then slippers did not exist. Purity is a symbol of white. Now these two circumstances are connected and are a bad omen. Therefore, presented slippers as a gift are considered bad form. Together with them, socks enjoy a dubious reputation. This wardrobe item is unwittingly associated with slippers. It is also believed that if a woman gave her man socks, then he will leave her.
Money
Earlier, the money presented as a gift was considered bad form. Everything has changed today. They give money and openly declare this to the guests. Therefore, no one will condemn money in an envelope. But some are ashamed to present them. There is only one way out - to present a certificate to any department of the store.
Signs are created on superstitions, belief in which is a great strength. Some come true because of the "belief" in them. Therefore, associating thoughts with superstitions, consider whether this should be done. The main thing is that the gift is from the heart, and no matter what it will be. It is important to convey a piece of your warmth and love with a gift.
