Knives and scissors

According to Vasthu, giving someone sharp objects like knives and scissors means cutting ties. This is believed to attract conflict, separation, and tension among the individuals.




No black-colored items

Though the world is celebrating black as elegance and aesthetics, Vastu believes that giving black-colored items to someone can attract emotional heaviness and misfortune.


Artificial flowers

Artificial flowers are believed to symbolize stagnation and lifelessness. Thus, if you are planning to gift flowers to a dear one, make sure they are the real ones.


Aquarium or fountain

According to Vastu, you should never gift any home decor associated with water to someone. It is believed to pass your own karma to the other person.


Leather items

Vastu also suggests you should never gift leather to anyone, as it is associated with negative energy.


A wall clock

A wall clock is indeed a go-to gift for anyone heading to a housewarming. But, according to Vastu, it suggests running out of time or a reminder no one wants.


Handkerchiefs

Vastu tradition also discourages gifting handkerchiefs to someone. It is believed that it symbolizes tears and sorrow, which invite sadness or misunderstandings into relationships.


Pickles

Giving pickles is considered to cause bitterness in relationships. If you ever receive pickles as a gift, it's better to gift them back with something sweet.


No Thorny Plants

Though it is said you can give live plants to a dear one, it's advised to avoid thorny plants like cactus. It is said that these plants can attract conflicts and create tension in the home.
