Three irons, 4 pairs of wall clocks, a kebab marina, a set and an oil painting are all real gifts for weddings of real people. These items are united by the fact that they were unnecessary to their new owners.
Based on the feedback, we have prepared for you a list of the most unwanted wedding gifts.
Dishes. Giving a set of dishes is quite risky. It was at the time of our mothers and grandmothers that porcelain cups and saucers were worth their weight in gold. Now, when the choice is almost unlimited, there is a risk not to guess the shape and colors.
Lingerie. “We were given a set of bed linen from Ivanovo. Attention! It is 1,5 sleeping, ”writes the outraged participant of the Russian forum. Either the donor did not pay attention to the cherished figures "1.5", or he decided that this would be enough for the young. In any case, it is recommended to give clothes only if you know the taste of the newlyweds and the size of their bed.
Clothing. It may seem that nobody gives clothes for the wedding, but ... “relatives gave the sister a fur hat that did not fit her, and white sandals (not taking into account the size of her shoes!)” In this case, we are faced with an unacceptable situation - to give only one of the spouses. This is strictly prohibited. And if you really want to "dress up" the young, then dress up both at once. Many couples love, for example, to have the same winter sweaters.
"Dust collectors" heading the top of the most useless gifts for the wedding. Among them: a statuette in the form of a horse with wings, porcelain swans, a hanger for the hallway in the form of a naked girl. Surely there will be those to whom such figures will appeal, but if you do not know for sure, it is better not to risk it.
"Live" gifts . “They gave us an aquarium with two goldfish. And neither me, nor my husband ever bred fish. ” You can understand the giver: it is symbolic to present a pair of two fish, each of which identifies one of the spouses. But the fish - these are living creatures, and they need care (and for gold special). Whether the newlyweds would like to regularly change the water in the aquarium is a moot point.
Appliances. “We have warned everyone in advance - to give money! And they still managed to get two vacuum cleaners! ”Nowadays, young people often organize their life before marriage, so various coffee makers, electric kettles, toasters and other household appliances may be superfluous.
It is important to take a responsible approach to the choice of a gift, so that it does not occupy a place of honor on the mezzanine, but is really useful for young people. In order to avoid an unpleasant surprise, ask the young people in advance about their needs, otherwise even a good gift may turn out to be unnecessary: “we were presented with horseback riding. And on the eve of the wedding I found out that I was pregnant. Therefore, the ride did not go. "
