What gifts should not be given to loved ones on the New Year, if you do not want to anger the Dragon

How difficult is it sometimes to choose a gift for loved ones: practical or symbolic, one for all or each individually, edible or not? For some, it becomes difficult to pick one for a friend’s birthday. What to say about the main holiday of the year, when you need to come up with a gift for everyone. But do not panic, because you can see the solution from wise Chinese. We offer you to find out what gifts for the year of the Dragon are customary to give according to the Chinese calendar.



Do not forget that the coming year will be under the patronage of the Green Wooden Dragon. Unlike its brethren, this lizard has a calm disposition and encourages calm, hard work and inner harmony. Green and woody attributes symbolize development and prosperity, and the Dragon himself is generous with money and luck. Here are a few gifts that he will gladly bless.

What is good about the celebration of 2024: this time the choice of gifts is very large. For every taste and purse! But don’t be too frivolous – be sure to check the list of banned gifts at the end of this article. In response to such an offering in his honor, the Dragon may be offended and even send bad luck. But let’s start with what he really likes.

Is it something green and woody? Not another word! For those who do not want to puzzle for a long time, nature has prepared a universal option. This can be a gift for a friend, a couple and even a family, because pets come in any cost and size. For busy and forgetful people, cacti, succulents and home moss are suitable (such will not be lost). For more refined natures, you can find something tender and blooming.



If you want to go into symbolism, there is nothing better than bonsai. Bonsai is the art of growing dwarf trees at home. This process requires patience and scrupulousness, but believe me, the result is worth it. This gift is perfect for parents in retirement or a large close-knit family. After all, such a tree is a complete pet and requires a lot of love.

There is a place to walk: it can be dishes, jewelry, toys and even decorative elements. Furniture made of natural wood is a worthy gift for those who celebrate housewarming (and most importantly - practical). The dragon will patronize those who find something wooden: beads, a ring or a hoop. Anything will do.

The Dragon is primarily a symbol of wealth and power. It doesn't matter that he's Wooden! Like all dragons, the symbol of 2024 cannot resist gems and gold. Just do not be petty and limited to silver, just this precious metal dragon disdains. Oh yes, money in a gold or red envelope will bring good luck. However, without an envelope, they will cheer everyone up, but this year especially. Dragon approves!



It is quite interesting that our Dragon does not tolerate loneliness and welcomes all the gifts that help to stay in touch. Maybe it used to be an inkwell and paper, but now smartphones and other innovations that will help to hear and see family and friends.

Certificates Bliss and luxury to the liking of a majestic creature. A certificate to a spa or a coupon for other cosmetic procedures will be accepted very warmly. It is important not to get confused and accidentally go in the direction of shampoos and shower gels, this mistake can cost you luck next year. Why? We'll tell you later.



Gifts with the image of a dragon, forest and tree Whether it is a picture or a notebook, it is important that they have a picture of a dragon. Such an act of attention will not go unnoticed by the 2024 patron. He will be pleased, and the person to whom you present such a gift will receive a pleasant bonus in the form of luck in all endeavors.

Let’s say you found something unusual. Something that doesn’t fit into any of the above. It's okay! Perhaps you can find this object in green? Yes, it’s the shortest and easiest way, but who says it can’t be the best?

What gifts can not be given in the year of the Green Wooden Dragon



What dragons like can be understood on an intuitive level. The list of banned gifts is unpredictable. Among them are hats, caps, Panama and hats. The problem is that in the Dragon, this wardrobe item is associated with a turtle. Not that they were enemies, just never got along. The dragon is the personification of new achievements, and the turtle spoils this energy with its slowness and lack of ambition. In general, it is not the engine of progress.

Fire-related gifts are unexpected, aren't they? It would seem that who, more than a dragon, should like fire. But the lizard is very powerful and jealous of its own element: fire belongs only to it, so that it will not tolerate encroachments on it. This means that fireworks, Bengali lights, candles and collectible lighters should be postponed until a more favorable occasion.



Unsplash Liquids Don't please this Dragon! But nothing can be done - he does not tolerate liquids, they extinguish his inner flame. Even though the Dragon is Wooden this year. That is why shampoos, hair masks, anti-aging serums and even perfumes should not be given this New Year.

Extreme impressions There is such a category of gifts that lovers of exoticism will like: skydiving, lessons in extreme driving, roop jumping, climbing Everest and so on. The dragon of 2024 is the embodiment of harmony and contemplation, tickling his nerves is not to his liking. It also does not encourage gambling and does not tolerate adventurers.



Not once again will remind you that the Dragon is the engine of progress, he has no time to nostalgia. It teaches us not to hold on to the past, but to open up new horizons. So if you decide to give a touching photo in a frame or a family photo album, you should think again.

Happy dragon watches do not watch. Giving a watch in the year of the Dragon is considered bad manners. It does not matter what it is: wall or wrist, with or without an alarm clock, sunny or sandy. Why the dragon is not in a hurry is a mystery, but it is better to refrain from such gifts.
