Buying Christmas gifts can be problematic. For some people, we know immediately what to give them. We have to think a bit about others. However, there is a blacklist of gifts that are better not to give to anyone. According to beliefs, this is supposed to bring bad luck. The list included shoes. Why?
Gifts that bring bad luck. The shoes symbolize the end of a relationship
Superstition says that giving someone shoes will cause that person to quickly leave us. This mainly applies to partners and friends. Footwear symbolizes the end of a certain stage in life. It’s not about a specific type of shoes, but about all types of shoes, even slippers.
Others, on the other hand, believe that by giving a gift to a person, you bring misfortune to him. What’s more interesting, the superstition also applies to lending someone money to buy shoes. If you give someone cash and you know that the person wants to buy shoes with it, you should give up this idea. This also brings bad luck.

What is not given as a gift? These items portend misfortune
The blacklist of gifts also included a knife and other sharp objects, such as a penknife, a needle and even a cactus. According to superstitions, they are supposed to “cut” the bond. You shouldn’t give your other half a watch as a gift. It is believed that it counts down the time until the relationship ends. If you buy someone a wallet, put a symbolic penny or banknote inside. Otherwise, an empty wallet will bring poverty. Candles and pearls are also among the worst gifts. The former mean extinction between people, and the latter bring tears to their owner.
