It is believed that they can bring negative energy and troubles into the life of the recipient.
Unlucky Gifts
Sharp Objects
Scissors, knives, and other sharp items seem to attract negative energy. Such items can be bought for oneself, but it is not recommended to give them to others.
Mirror
Mirrors are considered magical objects, so it is better not to give them as gifts. Folk beliefs say that a gifted mirror can bring misfortune into the recipient's life.
Medical Devices
One should not buy or accept medical devices, massagers, or home therapeutic devices as gifts. It is believed that they can worsen health.
Dishes
If you want to give a pot or mugs, place a coin in each item. Empty dishes are thought to bring poverty.
Clock
Chinese sages believe that receiving a clock as a gift means the countdown to death has begun. It is also believed that clocks can lead to the breakdown of relationships or estrangement.

Like dishes, a wallet should not be given empty. An empty wallet is thought to attract poverty or loss of money and valuables.
Pearls
It is believed that gifted pearls bring illness and financial losses. Pearls symbolize the tears of orphans and widows, hence the belief in their undesirability as gifts.
Scarves and Handkerchiefs
Such gifts are thought to attract troubles and problematic people into the life of the recipient.
