About unsuccessful gifts for grandmother

Even if your grandmother is an advanced and modern lady who does not believe in omens, don’t give her:

1. The amount of money. The gift will be useful only if the birthday woman asked for it. Older people do not like congratulations money. They consider this disrespect for themselves, unwillingness to spend time on the purchase of a gift.
2. Wall or wrist watch. The belief has reached our days that the clocks measure the number of remaining days of life of birthdays.
3. Cutting, piercing, sharp objects: knives, scissors. Such gifts provoke a quarrel, a scandal in the family.
4. Wall mirrors. It is established that the mirror cloth absorbs negative information and feelings of people who looked at it.
5. Personal hygiene products: soap, gel, toothpaste, shampoo. Such things offend people, hinting at an unpresentable appearance.
6. Medications. It is better to buy medicines for no reason.
7. Handkerchiefs. Used for wiping tears in the days of sorrows and troubles.
8. Figures and illustrations of birds: magpies, herons, pigeon, bittern, ravens. Birds bring bad news.
