No matter how strange it may sound now, you also need to be able to give gifts.
Thanks to them, you can show a person how much you love him, or simply how you feel about him. This way you will emphasize its importance to you and will be able to give the person what he really needs. You need to approach the issue of choosing and buying a gift not just from a creative point of view, but also wisely. Most people tend to believe in various signs, so you should pay attention to the superstition of your recipient. “But why can’t you give certain things?” you ask, and for good reason. Thanks to our ancestors, we know the answers to these questions. Today we will talk about whether wallets are given as gifts and what is associated with this item.
It will be especially nice if a friend often deals with money: this way your gift will always be in use, and you will be remembered with a kind word more than once. But if you are a step or two below the recipient in terms of financial status, then according to the sign, it is better for him not to accept a gift from you.
Why can’t you give a wallet in this case? Below are the main superstitions on this issue.
Undoubtedly, if you are determined to make a lasting impression on your friend, then giving him a high-quality leather wallet will be the best decision!
History will take you with your wallet
One of the oldest superstitions regarding this category of gifts is that they should not be presented to people who are much higher in status and material well-being than the donor. Also, since ancient times, it has been forbidden to hand over an empty wallet to a person. In this case, the item will only bring with it poverty, as a result of which the gift recipient’s money will literally begin to float out of his hands.
Also, the gifted item may begin to attract various troubles, the solution of which will require spending large sums.
Important! It is not necessary to put the largest bills in the house inside. Small change won't do either.
Coins will attract small amounts, according to the sign. They usually choose something in between. A successful solution is considered to be 1 dollar, which is a kind of symbol of stability in the modern world.
Another ancient sign is that a gift is not passed from hand to hand during the giving process. It is better to place the item on a table or other surface so that the birthday person can take it himself.
According to Feng Shui philosophy, the color of the gift is also of great importance. From time immemorial, it has been believed that money colors are yellow, golden and brown shades. Also included in this category is the color green, which attracts material well-being. Blue and blue shades are undesirable, as they are associated with the element of water. It is believed that products of such colors take away good luck, as a result of which money seems to “float” from hands.
For close friends, omens advise putting small money talismans inside. In Rus', it was customary to put images of the sun, ears of grain, a bull or a horse in a purse, which were associated with fertility and prosperity. The universal symbol of monetary luck is a horseshoe.
Finally, in various cultures it is strictly forbidden to give items that are damaged, and especially with holes. In such objects, an energy gap has already been punched through which wealth and prosperity will flow.
Basic Rules
In order for the gift to please the birthday boy and bring him good luck and material well-being, it is necessary to present it correctly:
- Immediately after purchase, you need to put several bills and coins in your new wallet so that you always have cash in it. It’s even better if there are at least one or two dollars among them - they symbolize wealth and prosperity. The new owner of the wallet should be warned that one bill cannot be spent. It should always be kept in a pocket to serve as a “beacon” for luring money;
- After this, the wallet must be closed and placed in a beautiful gift box or fabric bag. It is impossible to pack it in a plastic bag, since it blocks the free movement of monetary energy;
- You need to present the wallet with wishes of well-being and a sincere smile, then no superstitions will work. In this case, it is better to put the gift on the table so that the hero of the occasion takes it in his hands.
Is it possible to give a wallet according to signs?
Even if a sign prohibits giving this item on a certain date or does not advise giving such a gift to certain people, it can always be softened. To do this, it is enough to put a coin, bill or money talisman inside, but in general it is still better to listen to superstitions. For example, it is not recommended to give a wallet to your superiors, but for a spouse such a choice is quite acceptable.
Is it possible to give a wallet to a man according to a sign?
It is better not to give a wallet to male bosses and business partners. This is also an unwanted gift for work colleagues. There is a superstition according to which a person will lose money luck after this. On the other hand, signs do not prohibit giving a purse to your husband, father, brother or close friend.
Unlike women, it is customary for men to be given purses in discreet colors. The cost of the item and the quality of the materials are of great importance, since cheap products are initially charged with the energy of poverty.
Important! It is generally better not to give a purse as a gift to people whose status and financial situation are higher than that of the donor.
Is it possible to give a wallet to a woman?
Popular superstitions do not prohibit giving a wallet to women, especially if they are close relatives or spouses. You can also give it to your significant other, even if the couple is not married. It is better to give preference to warm colors: red, burgundy, light brown, ocher, etc.
At the same time, you cannot give a purse to a female boss. The same rule applies here as in the case of male bosses.
Advice! In order to accurately guess with a gift, it is recommended to pay attention to exactly how the girl stores her money and what she uses to pay. If she uses a lot of cards in addition to cash, it is better to purchase a product with more compartments.
Is it possible to give a wallet for a birthday?
Most popular superstitions boil down to the fact that it is better not to give a purse for a birthday. Regardless of the status, gender and age of a person, this is one of the most unfavorable dates for such a gift. The only exception to the rule is when the birthday boy himself asks to give him a wallet. But even so, it is better not to fulfill this wish exactly. You can give a person money, and then he will buy himself something to suit his taste. You can also go to the store with him and pay for his purchase. The main thing is that the birthday person makes a choice on his own.
Important! According to the superstition, giving a person a purse for his birthday means wastefulness and loss of monetary luck.
Is it possible to give a wallet for the New Year according to a sign?
According to popular superstitions, giving a purse for the New Year is not prohibited if you do it according to all the rules. In order to give the gift a festive atmosphere, you can put a small talisman inside in the form of a symbol of the coming year according to the Eastern calendar.
Is it possible to give a wallet on March 8 and February 23?
Just like on the New Year, it is entirely acceptable to give a purse on March 8 and February 23. From an energetic point of view, it is better to present such a gift to your loved ones. A particularly good solution would be a red product, but only for a girl. According to the sign, this is a color with strong energy. Its main meaning is passion, but it can also attract money.
Important! This wallet is not suitable for men - the red color is too catchy for the stronger sex. It is customary to give husbands, brothers, spouses and friends items in discreet colors as gifts.
Is it possible to give a wallet as a gift upon promotion?
It is not recommended to give a wallet to colleagues who have received a promotion. Also, according to popular beliefs, it is undesirable to give such a gift to your superiors. If a close relative, an old friend working elsewhere, or a spouse has moved up the career ladder, then giving a wallet in this case is allowed.
Is it possible to give a wallet as a souvenir?
There are no special signs that would prohibit giving a wallet as a souvenir. The most important thing is to adhere to the general rules for donating this item. In order to give it a touch of exoticism, you can additionally put inside a banknote of the country from which it was brought. Also suitable are small money talismans accepted in the local culture - oriental hieroglyphs, Scandinavian runes, Old Slavic money amulets, etc.
Gift rules
You cannot give a wallet that has nothing in it; you will need to put a coin or a small denomination bill in it. If there are several bills in the wallet, then one must be marked and placed so that it is always in the wallet; it will serve to multiply money. Some people prefer to put a bait with a prayer in their wallet. What can act as bait: semolina, a talisman, a coin with a spell, a mint leaf, a cinnamon stick.
You need to accept such a gift from a person who is better off in status, then part of the monetary luck will pass on to the recipient. There is also a sign that the gifted wallet should be larger in size than the one that was before. You should choose items that are gold, silver, red or brown. The gift is presented in a paper box or fabric bag, but it must not be packed in plastic or film, because in this case the monetary energy may escape. According to signs, many large bills are placed in a new wallet overnight so that the money can take root and lure its comrades.
How to avoid what is predicted in omens
Not everyone knows that you can’t give an empty wallet as a gift, and they may not do it out of malice. There is nothing wrong with such a gift if you adjust the energy of the item in time.
You can improve the situation as follows:
- All large bills that are at home are placed inside the product. As a result, the wallet should become quite plump, but it is not recommended to put small change in it - small coins will attract equally small amounts.
- After this, the product is removed for a week away from eyes and not touched.
- After a week, you can gradually begin to take money from it; by this time, according to signs, your wallet will be filled with monetary energy.
Important! Don't worry if the donated item is smaller than the one you're already using. According to the sign, it can bring bad luck, but if the product is made of natural expensive materials, the folk sign regarding the size is neutralized by itself.
If you were given an empty wallet
When such a gift has already been given, you should not get upset and throw it away. Most likely, the person simply did not know about the signs associated with donating a wallet, or forgot to put a coin in it.
You can fix this annoying misunderstanding yourself by following these steps:
- In order for the wallet to be “saturated” with monetary energy, it is filled with large bills. The more there are, the better;
- After this, the accessory is closed and hidden in a secluded place. It should lie there for at least 3 days, and preferably a week.
Such a simple ritual will neutralize bad luck and attract monetary luck.
