What can and cannot be given for the New Year of the Yellow Pig?

New Year's holidays are a time of relaxation, entertainment, parties and, of course, gifts. Exchanging gifts is a special pleasure, which is why many people adhere to this tradition. The question arises: what to give to your loved ones and friends for the New Year? Keep in mind that the symbol of the coming year is the Yellow Earth Pig, you need to familiarize yourself with which gifts will be appropriate and which ones are better to refuse.

Features of the New Year symbol

It is very important to familiarize yourself with the preferences of the new symbol of the year, so that the gifts are both pleasant to the recipient and bring good luck in the year. In particular, remember that a pig is an unpretentious animal in every sense of the word. She is unpretentious in everyday life, in food, and in maintenance. The little animal loves simplicity and practicality in everything.

Advice! The Pig has a negative attitude towards expensive gifts, so refuse expensive trinkets as gifts. If you have already purchased an expensive item, then it is better to hide it for another holiday.

The Yellow Earth Pig (Boar) carries tenacity, perseverance and friendliness. Negative qualities include categoricalness, frivolity and slowness. But in any case, the year will go under the rule of the Pig, which will bring good luck to persistent and hardworking people. The year itself promises to be fertile, peaceful and positive in all respects.

Watch

Gifted wristwatches can lead to death in the home or separation, warns Liliya Romanova. Time says that there are only a few minutes left; time spares no one. Therefore, if you do not want to be separated from the person, then it is better to refrain from such a gift, so as not to make temporary changes to someone’s home. As for wall clocks, this is a good option for a gift, but not this year. After all, a pig is a very material sign that absorbs the signs of all signs.

“All people this year become a little bit of pigs in the material sense of the word,” Romanova laughs and recalls the saying that “you can’t put a thank you in your pocket.”

If in the year of the Dog a bottle of champagne might look like a worthy gift, then the Pig will regard this gift as stinginess. In the year of the Yellow Earth Pig, high prices and abundance are valued.

General recommendations for choosing New Year's gifts

It is advisable to start choosing a gift for your loved ones, friends and acquaintances for the New Year prepared. In particular, pay attention to the general recommendations:

1. Give only what the person will be pleased to receive, and not you personally. In other words, you need to forget about personal taste preferences, because your task is to please the recipient.
2. Don't focus your attention on brands and brands. Very often, people buy useless items just because they are made by a certain well-known brand, and it is considered that it is “not shameful” to present such products. In fact, the item simply must be of high quality and desired by the recipient. The exception is when a loved one is a fan of a certain brand.
3. Forget about banal and routine gifts. If suddenly you don’t have enough free time to choose a good gift, give preference to a bottle of champagne or a treat for the table. This gift, of course, is also banal, but at least it will definitely come in handy, and the symbol of the year will like it.
4. Remember the “correct” gift amount. The gift should not be very expensive so that the recipient does not feel awkward when receiving it, but also not very cheap so that the person does not think that you bought the first thing they came across. You can give expensive gifts to parents, loved ones and children, expressing your feelings.
5. Find out about the person’s interests and preferences before choosing a gift; perhaps he needs something to make his life more comfortable, or give preference to a gift based on the person’s hobbies.

Advice! Remember that it is more pleasant to receive a gift that is beautifully packaged. The gift will look elegant and respectable, which the recipient will definitely like.

New Year's gifts and signs

Today, many people are still superstitious and continue to believe in omens that also apply to gifts. If your loved ones avoid black cats and are afraid to spill salt, then you need to familiarize yourself with the list of unwanted gifts that carry a hidden meaning. These include the following:

What to give grandma for New Year?

1. Watch. On the one hand, this is a great gift that reminds you that the New Year is coming very soon. But some signs indicate an imminent separation, since it is believed that watches steal time from a person, accordingly, hastening his death. That is why it is not recommended to give a watch as a gift, especially if you don’t present it to your significant other, it may upset her.
2. Towels. In fact, this gift is very popular, and not all people pay attention to the signs. But if you are going to present a towel to a superstitious person, then take into account ritual signs. In particular, towels are brought to weddings, christenings and funerals. Usually the present is associated with the last sad event. At a minimum, you need to abandon the presentation of waffle towels; it is better to choose terry ones in pleasant colors with bright or even funny images.
3. Candles. This is another gift that is associated with funeral rites and is strongly discouraged. Sometimes this is very disappointing, because stores sell so many bright, decorated and interesting products that I would really like to present to loved ones. Experts allow the possibility of such a gift only on the condition that you also receive some kind of gift from this person in return.
4. Mirror (both pocket and wall). This is an excellent gift for a woman, which she will be pleased to receive, but there are many bad omens associated with it. In particular, dark forces are associated with the mirror, which, as legends say, are capable of stealing human souls. For superstitious people, such a gift will definitely not be the best solution.
5. Slippers. This soft home gift, which every person surely needs, is often associated with funeral rites. As a result, the gift is considered bad, explaining that the gifted slippers bring illness or even death to its owner. Choose a gift for a superstitious person responsibly, avoiding slippers.
6. Socks. This is one of the most controversial gift items. In particular, it is believed that socks promise separation for a couple, especially if they are presented to the chosen one by the woman he loves. Mom also should not present her son with socks, since this, as legends say, is a sign that she is not happy with her daughter-in-law and dreams of returning him to his father’s house.
7. Any piercing or cutting objects. According to signs, such a gift indicates imminent quarrels, misfortunes and other problems.

Advice! If you decide to give a superstitious person one of the gifts described above, just ask him for a few coins in return. This simple action helps to cancel the harmful effect of the sign, respectively, both you and the recipient will be calm.

By the way, many are worried about whether it is possible to give flowers for the New Year. This is a completely acceptable gift, despite the fact that it is considered a summer symbol. The fair sex will certainly be pleased to receive a flower arrangement. If you want it to be more New Year's, then complement it with tinsel, fir branches or pine cones. Bouquets of callas and orchids are considered the most “winter”.

What can't be given?

When wondering what you can’t give for the New Year, you need to remember the patron saint of the year according to the Eastern calendar. Carefully study the preferences of the Yellow Earth Pig so as not to get into trouble and not give an inappropriate gift. In particular, remember that the pig loves practicality and simplicity. The symbol is skeptical of excessive luxury and is unpretentious in everyday life.

You should not give very expensive gifts for the New Year, especially if they do not provide any practical benefit. Save them for another holiday. Also, the pig will not like the following gifts:

1. Souvenirs that have no practical use. The pig loves only useful things; she will not like simple trinkets that will take up space in the house without use.
2. Detergents and bath accessories. Pigs are known for their tendency to roll around in mud, so any shampoos, shower gels, bubble baths, etc. would be an inappropriate gift.
3. Perfumery. Basically, choosing a perfume is a difficult task that is not easy to handle. The symbol of the year does not like perfumes because pigs prefer natural scents.

What to give a friend for the New Year?

The choice of clothing must be approached carefully. You can give only comfortable and practical things that do not hinder movement. These include pajamas, dressing gowns, nightgowns, sweatshirts and T-shirts. You can give preference to personalized patches or funny prints.

But delicious gifts will be very appropriate. The exception is any sausages and smoked meats. The pig will definitely not approve of any meat products made from pork, even if they are very tasty.

Many people are concerned about the question of whether it is possible to give money. More recently, such a gift might have been considered bad form, but not now. Moreover, a pig is a practical animal that will be very happy to receive a useful material gift. However, give such a gift only to those who definitely will not be offended. Relatives, for example, may think that you simply decided not to bother with the present. It is advisable to choose brand new banknotes. They can be placed in a nice envelope or arranged in an interesting composition, and not just thrust into your hands.

What should you not give to children?

Both kids and teenagers are delighted with gifts, including New Year's ones. They usually care little about traditions and signs, the main thing is sweets, toys and entertainment. Remember that children will not like a number of gifts, namely:

1. Shoes and clothing. It’s better to buy them for your child just like that, because for the New Year the baby is expecting something unusual and magical.
2. School supplies. New Year's holidays are a time of rest and vacation, so a child is unlikely to want to receive something as a gift that will cause him unpleasant associations.
3. Gifts not according to age. You cannot give children gifts “for growing up” or “for later.” The child will definitely not be happy with the gift if he can use it in two or three months or more.

Remember that money is a rather ambiguous gift. A small child will not be able to use the amount given on his own, and his parents will not necessarily buy what he wants. But a teenager will definitely like a cash gift, because it will give him a feeling of freedom.

Alcohol

Likewise. Representatives of this sign have a subtle taste for life, so giving a gift in the form of a box of beer will make you look ridiculous. But a bottle of a collectible and expensive drink will be to your liking and will be well received.

It is also worth noting that recognition is important this year. That is, you should not give surprises, but it is better to give what the person himself asks for, and what the person 100% needs. Therefore, it is better to ask and clearly reproduce his wishes.

What should not be given to women?

Remember that the following are considered unpleasant gifts:

1. Cosmetics and perfumes, especially unnecessary ones. If you are not sure that a woman really needs the gift you have chosen, it is better not to take risks.
2. Any products that will indicate flaws. These include figure correction products, etc.
3. Boring household items, including pots, pans, kettles. On New Year's Eve, women expect magic, not reminders about cooking.

Clothing is a controversial gift. Of course, any woman will be pleased to receive a stylish scarf, a beautiful fur coat or an elegant dress, but you need to choose such items correctly, taking into account the girl’s tastes. If you are not sure that you can cope with such a task, it is better not to risk it. Remember that it is not advisable to give expensive gifts so as not to put the lady in an awkward position.

What should you not give to men?

If you want to please a representative of the stronger half of humanity and give him a really nice gift for the New Year, then remember the list of unwanted gifts, which includes:

What to give your friend for New Year?

1. Socks, underwear. Men will not pay special attention to such gifts, considering the gift boring.
2. Shirt. It is difficult to choose such a wardrobe item so that it exactly fits in size, style and color, so it is better to give preference to other options.
3. Bath sets and shaving accessories. These are standard and boring gifts that everyone is already tired of. Give them up in favor of something practical and original.
4. Products made from pigskin. The patroness of the year will not like such a gift.

Teacher, trainer, doctor

By doing their work with all their hearts, these people become closer than just industry workers providing a service. If there is an impulse to say “thank you” and congratulate you on the upcoming Christmas holidays, you can do it right.

1. Bouquet of fruits. Very original, beautiful and tasty. Tangerines in spruce branches look great. Have doubts about fruits? A bouquet of dried fruits is a win-win option.
2. Wine with cheese. A bottle of expensive wine with a head of good cheese is appropriate!
3. A set of ginger cookies in gift packaging with New Year's symbols. Such a gift is extraordinary, and when complemented with a jar of tea (coffee) it will have a finished look.
4. Unwanted gifts:
5. A bottle of champagne. This is a classic and there will be plenty of it.
6. Set of chocolates. An essential gift for any occasion.
7. A gift that speaks of a profession. Trite. There is a professional holiday for such attributes.
