Choosing a gift for any occasion is not an easy task for some. A housewarming party with friends or relatives is a significant event and a joyful occasion for celebration. A gift is selected taking into account the preferences, tastes and wishes of the owners of the house or apartment. However, given these criteria, you need to know that you cannot give as a housewarming gift. There are items that are not traditionally given for this holiday.
Mirror
A beautiful mirror in an original frame seems like a good gift option. This item should be in every home. However, it is better to choose another type of interior decor.
The mirror is endowed with magical properties; it is an invariable “participant” in many fortune telling and rituals. It has long been believed that it is an “attribute of darkness,” a guide to other worlds. This item is also capable of accumulating energy, mostly negative, and then transmitting it to others. It is especially dangerous to accept as a gift an antique mirror or something that has been on display for a long time before purchasing.
On the other hand, not a single home can do without this item.And many consider the ban on donating a mirror to be a prejudice. However, there are also superstitious people who may be upset by such a gift, so it is better not to risk it and choose some other souvenir.
Sharp piercing objects
An excellent set of knives - why not an option for a housewarming gift? However, folk superstitions place a taboo on such a gift. It is believed that such products will bring quarrels and discord into the family. Relations between household members will become “acute.” And what we mean is not at all the kind of sharpness that some are looking for for variety.
Watch
Tabletop, floor, wall... Many variations of classic and original designs can decorate the interior. However, it is believed that choosing watch as a housewarming present - a bad idea. By bringing them into the house, the donor seemed to have begun the countdown of the owners’ lives.
Money
This universal gift is usually received favorably. As they say, there is never too much money. And for the donor, this option seems very successful - there is no need to think long about what the heroes of the occasion will like.
However, it is not recommended to hand over either money or a wallet with banknotes when moving to a new place of residence. It is believed that the one who gives such a gift specifically for a housewarming takes away good luck and prosperity from the household.
Even if the donor himself is not superstitious, it is still worth choosing a gift from other categories - perhaps the owners of the house believe in omens. Moreover, there is a huge variety of options for housewarming gifts.
