5 Gifts Not to Give to Your Partner: Beliefs Warn of Unnoticed Relationship Strain

Numerology fortune teller "Man Karin" reveals gifts that couples should not give each other, as from an energy and ancient belief standpoint, they may unknowingly have negative effects on the relationship. Let's see which gifts to avoid if you don't want your love to develop cracks.

1. Perfume

The scent of perfume involves chemistry and energy. Choosing a fragrance that doesn't harmonize with your partner's energy might subtly change feelings. Some believe perfume can cause love to fade, especially if picked without understanding the other's taste.

2. Mirrors

Mirrors often symbolize fragility and breakage. In ancient beliefs, giving a mirror is likened to a fragile relationship, and if it breaks, it is considered a bad omen.

3. Shoes

Shoes symbolize walking away. Even if you want your partner to have new shoes, this belief warns that it might signal them to leave, so shoes should not be chosen as special occasion gifts.

4. Handkerchiefs

These represent tears, sadness, or separation. According to beliefs, they should not be exchanged in romantic relationships because they seem to prepare for sorrow and parting.

5. Watches

Watches symbolize a countdown. While they may show care, they are believed to signify counting down to the end of the relationship. Therefore, some avoid giving watches even though they appear to be nice gifts.

Nevertheless, the famous fortune teller revealed that a good gift is not about price but the heartfelt energy and meaning it conveys. If you want a stable love, try choosing gifts that symbolize love and genuine goodwill, such as a small plant to care for together, lucky stones, or meaningful items given with sincerity.
