The annual Mother's Day is coming, and many people plan to give gifts to comfort their mothers who have worked hard for a whole year. However, in the face of a dazzling array of goods, in addition to catering to mother's preferences, we should also choose gifts carefully, so as not to get into trouble instead of expressing our wishes. Xie Yuanjin, a geomantic numerologist, specially reminded that some items are not suitable for giving gifts because of their unlucky negative meanings, so be especially careful when choosing!
Avoid feng shui taboos, these four things can't be sent.
1 clock
The reason why it is suggested not to send a clock is that "sending a clock" is homophonic and "sending the end", which is a very unlucky gift for the elders. But not all clocks can't be sent. The main things that can't be sent are wall clocks hanging on the wall, alarm clocks and watches with alarm clock function.
2. shoes
Shoes are unlucky because they are easily associated with words such as "running away" and "going abroad for further study", but not all shoes have this taboo. Decorative shoes such as wooden shoes and embroidered shoes are good choices for gifts.
3. Umbrella
Because the sound of the umbrella is close to "scattering", it is also recommended to avoid it as much as possible when giving gifts. But if you really want to give it to your mother, you can still ask her to prepare a piece of red paper and give it to yourself with coins wrapped in red paper 1, because as long as you don't accept each other's gifts for free, it's not a gift from a folk point of view.

4. Knife
From the folk point of view, giving a knife means breaking off the relationship, breaking up, and breaking up with each other. Therefore, in order to avoid making mother feel unlucky, even kitchen knives, fruit knives or all kinds of knives necessary in the kitchen are generally recommended to avoid giving as gifts.
Remember to put yourself in the other's shoes when giving gifts, and beware of popular gifts.
In addition to paying attention to folk taboos, seemingly safe public gifts actually have many mines. When you choose, you should consider your mother's conditions and preferences, so as not to send out gifts that are collected in the depths of the drawer!
1 jewelry
At this age, mother usually prefers heavy jewelry and tries not to buy chain rings. In addition to being easy to catch when doing housework, it is difficult to keep in contact with water for a long time. So you can take your mother to the scene to choose, or observe what jewelry is in her jewelry box and her wearing habits, so it is not easy to step on the thunder!
In addition, we can also start with "pragmatism". If you want to surprise your mother, it is suggested that you can choose silver ornaments or gold, so that you won't go wrong with "preserving value" as the starting point.
2. Beauty care products
Beauty care products are the most convenient and affordable choice for many people to give Mother's Day gifts. Try to choose skin care products with the functions of "moisturizing, repairing and anti-wrinkle", which are all skin care issues that mothers are more concerned about. Lipstick or make-up products should also avoid using the current fashion as the selection criteria, because mom mainly cares about "good color", so just buy invincible red beans and live red!
