taboo gifts in China // 在中国忌讳的礼物
starting off strong with my favourite: green hats / 绿帽子 (lǜmàozi) the word for “green hat” is 绿帽子 (lǜmàozi), which is slang for “cuckhold”. please use this knowledge wisely
pears / 梨 (lí) the word for “pear” 梨 (lí) sounds just like 离 (lí) which can mean “to leave” or “to part”. pears are also often used as offerings for the dead or funeral gifts
sharp objects / 尖的东西 (jiān dedōngxī) gifting items like scissors or knives can imply that you want to sever your relationship with the recipient
umbrellas / 雨伞 (yǔsǎn) in the West, opening an umbrella inside is considered bad luck. similarly, in China, gifting one is bad luck. the 伞 (sǎn) in 雨伞 (yǔsǎn) sounds like 散 (sàn), which means “to break up”
clocks / 钟 (zhōng) “to give a clock” in Chinese is 送钟 (sòng zhōng). this sounds identical to the phrase for attending a funeral, 送终 (sòngzhōng). clocks can also imply the loss of time, making it especially taboo to give to the elderly
mirrors / 镜子 (jìngzí) mirror are associated with attracting ghosts. also they are delicate and like in the West, breaking them is unlucky
the number 4 / 四 (sì) the word for “four” 四 (sì) sounds similar to 死 (sǐ “death”). the number four is generally avoided in China. many buildings will even skip 4, 14, 24, etc. when numbering floors
shoes / 鞋 (xié) the word for “shoes” is 鞋 (xié), which sounds like the word for “evil” or “bad luck” 邪 (xié)
--- nowadays, many people in China aren’t superstitious about these things (especially younger people), but this info is helpful to keep in mind if you are planning on giving gifts in China - or this can just be interesting to learn!

Feeling Painful While Choose A Gift for Your Girlfriend? Here Are Some Tips for You
Many boys have a headache about preparing the gifts for girlfriends . After all, men and women have different ways of thinking and aesthetics, and they like different things. Moreover, many couples who have just been together are eager to surprise each other more. But if you ask each other face to face what they want. The surprise, of course, disappeared.But boys don't know what their girlfriend likes,it's very easy to selected the unsatisfied gift.Today,i will tell you some tips to learn.
I. Avoiding minefields
Please trust me, as long as your girlfriend is over 18 years old,If you give her something like a seven-color crystal ball, engraved with a steel necklace I love you, luxury fake flowers and chocolate boxes, which are flashy and reveal a strong non-mainstream flavor, she will feel like crying without tears, and in order to take care of your feelings, she will probably need to cover up her grief with a strong smile. (Except for girls with special tastes.)
Another kind of boy knows that his girlfriend likes cosmetics,they will choose the cosmetics products as a gift for girlfriend.That's a good idea.But please pay attention that choose a beauty brand with pretty good quality.Because it's used on the face,not like the clothes wearing on our body that we can change the clothes.If the cosmetic product with bad quality,which will cause a damage for the skin and the skin is hard to relieve.The result is very serious.So choose a good quality cosmetics products are very important.
In a word,we send the gifts to girls is to make them happy,it's better to avoid the bad beauty products on the face.That will be very disapointed.
II. Multi-observation
In fact, for many girls, it is easy to know what they like. If she tried the same lipstick twice in a row before she came to the cosmetics counter in the mall, it was almost certain that she liked it. In fact, whether it's clothes, cosmetics, or anything else, as long as she keeps looking at the product many times, she can basically be sure that it's what she wants. In addition, you can pay more attention to her social software. For example, I have a friend who wants to buy a dress, but when she saves enough money and the price is higher than before. A little sad, she sent a word in her social. Later, she even forgot about it herself. Unexpectedly, a few months later on Valentine's Day, her boyfriend gave her the gift of that dress! She was particularly touched. In short, it's not difficult to know what your girlfriend wants if you observate carefully. It's also a very romantic thing to make her happy for the person you like.
III.Judging by her hobbies If you look at it, you can't directly see what she wants. You can also try to vote as she likes and choose gifts according to her hobbies. For example: she has a clear preference for Aidou, so giving her a ticket to Aidou's concert is the best gift. At the same time, going to a concert with two people can also enhance feelings. If there is no such condition, it is also a good choice to give her something of the same kind. If she doesn't follow the stars, you can also find clues from her hobbies. If she likes photography, give her a higher camera. If she likes handicraft, she will be happy to give her some handicraft materials. If she doesn't like makeup but plays games, she may be happier with a piece of skin than with a lipstick. Nevertheless, before investing in what she likes, we should first understand what she has and not buy what her girlfriend already has.
IIII. Give something of practical value If all this is said above, you can't find it. There's another way to do that. It's to send some practical and beautiful daily necessities. If you send something that she can use every day, then every time she uses it, she will think of you once, which is also a good choice. Remember when choosing, one is to determine whether she really needs it, and the other is to choose good quality and meanful. For example,skin care routine is every girls need to do everyday.Only do a good job on our daily life,then they can own a young and healthy skin.Liberex Facial Brush with elegant pink package,how cute is !!! Also,this is a good facial machine for girls,which is very useful and meanful.I think persuit the beauty is that evey girls goal.It won't be wrong choosing this facial cleanser as a gift for your girlfriend.
In short, giving gifts is also a test of whether you really know and care about her in your relationship. It's easy to know what your girlfriend likes if you really care about her. At the same time, girls should also understand that those who are willing to choose gifts carefully for you are people who love you very much. I hope every couple can go far and far hand in hand.
