Choosing and buying a wedding gift is a painstaking and responsible business. Many guests take this process seriously, but alas, there are exceptions. As you know, a gift can not only please and surprise, but also disappoint or even put the young in an awkward position.
What gifts are not advisable to give to newlyweds for a wedding?
Furniture
Furniture should be given to young people only if they themselves asked you to, and you are sure that you will please their tastes. If in doubt, it is better to allow the bride and groom to equip their home on their own. A gift card with a substantial discount in a furniture store can serve as a substitute for such a gift.
Paintings and works of art
Gifts of art are also best donated with care. The only exceptions can be original items and, if the newlyweds themselves are fans of the works of a particular artist. With such a gift, you run the risk of missing, and in this case, the picture, vase or panel will be donated to someone else.
Potted gift
Various plants, flowers in pots cannot be an independent gift. They can only be an addition to the main gift.
Clock
A watch is a bad sign and an indicator of the giver's lack of taste. Remember the aphorism: "Happy hours are not observed"? By the way, there is such a sign in China that the presented watch is interpreted as an invitation to a funeral.
Bath accessories
Hygiene products in the form of shampoos, shower gels, essential oils, aroma candles are not given for weddings. Firstly, there is a sign that such gifts will bring troubles and tears to the young. Secondly, they all end, and with them the memory of you and your gift ends.
Time is not childish
Sliders, strollers, and other cute baby accessories are not appropriate when there are no heirs as such. It is not ethical to make such gifts, because it may be that the couple does not plan to have children right away. The gift should be geared towards the newlyweds.
Toys for adults
Even if you are a very close friend of the couple and know their deepest preferences, hold on to the present from the sex shop for a more informal setting. Such a gift can embarrass the young in front of the elders, or even hint at problems in the intimate relationship of the couple.
In addition to the above items, it is not recommended to give for moral and noticeable characteristics:
- Underwear;
- knives, forks, manicure sets and other cutting objects - these gifts promise parting and quarrels;
- natural pearls are a harbinger of tears and misfortunes;
- kettle - promises quarrels and divorce;
- roses (red) - thorns on these flowers will provide scandals in a young family;
- mirrors - promise treason to lovers.
If you want your gift to be appreciated by the newlyweds, then carefully consider its choice.
