Gifts to Avoid This New Year: A Guide to Positive Gifting
Gifts to Avoid for Positive Energy
Gifts to Avoid: As the new year draws near, many of us ponder over the perfect gifts for our loved ones, friends, or family. The goal is to select gifts that not only please the recipient but also express our love and positive intentions. However, sometimes we may choose gifts thoughtlessly, which may not align with Vastu Shastra principles. Such gifts, while visually appealing, can inadvertently lead to stress, financial troubles, strained relationships, and mental unrest in the recipient's household.
While gifting is often seen as a gesture of affection, it’s crucial to consider the energy associated with the gift. Astrologer and Vastu expert Pandit Hitendra Kumar Sharma from Bhopal shares a list of seven gifts that should be avoided during New Year celebrations or any special occasion.
1. Tortoises: Although a tortoise may appear charming and auspicious, gifting one is not advisable. It is believed to attract wealth and prosperity to its owner. By giving it away, you may inadvertently transfer your home’s positive energy and fortune, potentially impacting your financial well-being. Hence, it’s best to keep a tortoise at home and not gift it.
2. Black Wallets: The color black is often associated with negative energy. Presenting a black wallet can lead to increased mental stress, confusion, and even financial issues for the recipient. Instead, opt for wallets in uplifting colors like red, yellow, green, or gold, which are believed to attract wealth.
3. Fountains or Water Showpieces: While flowing water symbolizes life in Feng Shui and Vastu, gifting such items can hinder the flow of money for the recipient or lead to ongoing expenses. Many people place these items in their homes without considering the potential negative consequences. Therefore, it’s wise to avoid fountains or water-themed gifts.
4. Clocks: A clock represents time, and gifting one can create emotional distance in relationships. Experts suggest that giving a clock may imply that time is slipping away, which could weaken bonds. Only consider gifting a clock if the recipient specifically requests it or if there’s a reciprocal exchange; otherwise, it’s best to refrain.
5. Sharp Objects: Items like knives or scissors symbolize severing ties and can lead to conflicts in relationships. Although kitchen sets or knives are common gifts, they may foster arguments and resentment. If you must give such an item, consider exchanging it for a coin with the recipient.
6. Mirrors: Mirrors are known to reflect energy. If placed incorrectly, they can disrupt the positive energy in a home. Gifting a mirror can be risky, as you cannot control where it will be positioned, potentially harming the recipient's environment.
7. Empty Purses or Boxes: Whether it’s a purse, cosmetic box, or any gift box, avoid giving them empty. Empty gifts can emit negative energy. Always include a small coin, a rupee, or a sweet treat inside to ensure a positive start and encourage prosperity.
8. Tips for Thoughtful Gifting: Always choose clean and positive items. - Approach gift selection with good intentions. - Consider religious items, plants, sweets, or silver coins as thoughtful options. - Timing your gift-giving during an auspicious moment can enhance its positive impact.
