What things you shouldn't gift to a man

1. Socks. It's best to avoid choosing such items as gifts. Superstitious beliefs suggest that gifting a man socks may cause his wife to lose him. The idea is that as soon as he puts them on, he might leave the house. Therefore, such a gift can be considered offensive to the household.

2. Sharp or cutting objects. It is said that objects with sharp edges can attract negative energy. Gifting such items might unintentionally bring conflicts, disputes, and troubles into someone's life.

3. Books. This gift is best suited for an unmarried friend. Presenting a book to a loved one may lead to family conflicts and disagreements.
