那要怎麼樣則禮品才不會出包呢?一般而言會針對節日挑選合適的禮盒,例如:新年乾貨伴手禮、端午佳節送粽子、中秋節送月餅禮盒等,但近年來禮盒千變萬化、非常新穎,所以也有不少特別的選擇,此外也許多人會針對收禮者的喜好做挑選,若是對方家裡有比較多的小朋友就會送上巧克力、餅乾等禮盒,若是長輩比較多的可能就會選擇中式大餅或者干貝、香菇等烹飪食材。但是送禮也是有眉眉角角的,雖然說禮輕情意重,但還是有幾個重點要注意,如果送禮不小心踩雷,可就會傷了和氣,讓親友和自己都不開心。編輯根據運勢命理網站「生肖運勢天天看」整理出4大需要避免的「送禮禁忌」,才能送禮將心意、禮節齊送到好友心坎裡。

1. 好事成雙

送年禮一般都是有數字上的講究,首先是送「雙」不送「單」,取好事成雙之意,也是為了圖一個吉利。所以買酒水、水果一類的禮品,數量最好是雙數為佳。但要注意避開「四」這個數字,因為「四」與「死」是諧音,多多少少會讓人覺得有些不吉利,避諱最好。

2. 禮品價值要適中

俗話說:「千里送鵝毛,禮輕情意重」,但這並不是說送禮不管對方是否喜歡,隨便選擇兩樣就可以應付了事,價值適中很重要。禮品也不可過於貴重,一來會讓對方有心理壓力,二來還會給對方回禮造成一定的經濟負擔。拜年送禮,最重要的是表達自己的心意,懂得拿捏價值的分寸,即可讓雙方都能享受到春節禮物的喜慶。

3. 諧音字要避諱

有些物品的諧音會觸犯禁忌,不宜作為禮物送人,否則就只會鬧得雙方都不愉快,例如以下5種常見的物品,因為有不吉利的諧音,不適合當做禮物。

  • 忌送鐘:家裡有老人家的家庭,最好不要送鐘錶一類的物品,因為「送鐘」與「送終」諧音,送人鐘就等於盼著對方離開人世。
  • 忌送梨:許多人會買水果做為禮品,但要避免送梨子,因為「梨」與「離」同音,尤其不適合送給新婚家庭。
  • 忌送鞋:「鞋」是「邪」的諧音,給人送鞋就等於給別人帶來了邪氣,此外,鞋子還有走散和跑掉的意思,這都是不祥的徵兆。如果確實想把鞋作為禮物在春節送出,可以在之後讓對方給自己1元,以此來表示這是一種交換,也就不存在「送邪」之說了。
  • 忌送傘/扇子:傘和扇與「散」諧音,暗喻分手、永別之意。朋友之間贈送傘或扇子,暗示著日後將會分手或離散。而扇子也有「送扇,無相見」的說法,故若將扇子做為禮品送人,也會使人猜測是否絕交。
  • 忌送枕頭:枕頭是晚上睡覺的生活用品,一般而言,送枕頭是代表對對方的一種關心,希望他能多休息放鬆。不過若自己隨意送人枕頭,就表示你從此以後「高枕無憂」的時間會減少,麻煩的事情就會接踵而至,但戀人之間並不存有這個問題。

4. 顏色喜慶

新春過年,要的就是全家人歡歡喜喜聚在一起,有一派喜慶如意的氣氛。所以,在禮品的選擇上,最好選用喜慶祥和的顏色,如紅色、金色等,特別是一些裝飾品,不要大面積為黑色或白色。雖然白色有純潔無瑕之意,但在華人傳統上是大悲與大窮顏色的代表,同樣的,黑色在一定情況下也有凶災意義。所以,過年送禮,最好要挑選有喜氣的顏色,方能喜上加喜。
