It has long been believed that giving a mirror is a bad omen, but few people wondered why it is considered so.
Mirror - can you give, and what are the signs?
Very long time ago they say that the mirror is the link between dead and living people. Therefore, it is not worthwhile to present a chain between this and the other world as a gift, a person must acquire this object himself. Because of this belief, it is customary to hang mirrors in the house where the deceased person is.
Even ancient people believed that the surface of the mirror is capable of collecting information around. And it will not necessarily be positive.
It's no secret that girls are more superstitious than the stronger sex. Therefore, for them to receive a mirror as a gift means a quick separation from a loved one.
They say that the mirror can be an excellent transmitter for negative energy and its storage. Because of this, mirrors are considered a tool for slander, evil eye and spoilage. Therefore, a gift mirror is a bad sign.
For non-faithful people who do not believe in any national signs, this subject will also not be an excellent gift. After all, a large mirror, designed for a bathroom, hallway or bedroom, may simply not fit into the overall interior or trite not like the recipient. It may also not fit the size. A small, pocket mirror does not make any sense at all - it is not worth the money that is usually spent on a decent present.
Believing in superstition and omens or not is a personal matter for everyone. However, choosing and giving a gift, you need to consider the feelings and beliefs of the person who will receive it. And since this question is very ambiguous, it is better to refrain from such a presentation and find something more neutral and suitable.
