Superstitions are deeply rooted in every country's traditions; and that
includes superstitions surrounding gift-giving. In Greece, is my home
country, we never give a white handkerchief as a gift because it would spell
trouble for the people involved.
In the Orient, there are many more dos and don'ts when it comes to
exchanging presents. The wrong gift even has the power to cast the shadow of
death over the receiver, so you have to be very careful, especially when it
comes to the gifts you choose for joyous occasions like.
A mirror is not good as a wedding gift, for mirrors are thought to cause
divorce. Knives are unwelcome for the same reason. This is something I
heard about only after I had given a set of knives and forks to a newlywed
neighbor's daughter.
