What are the etiquette and precautions for giving gifts on May 1st Labor Day?

Things to note when giving gifts
1. When giving gifts, you should strike a balance between being practical and impractical. For noble and elegant people, a book may be better than anything else, but there are fewer and fewer such people. But gifts are gifts after all, and they should not be too practical.
2. Some people like to give others the "Peach Blossom Sword" to cut off bad peach blossoms, but they end up having a lot of peach blossom disasters themselves. Some friends also buy a set of kitchen knives as gifts when they see their relatives or friends moving or getting married. However, this can easily cause your fortune to plummet. Remember to be cautious when giving swords as gifts, and be careful when accepting swords given to you by others.
3. It is common sense that you should not give a clock as a gift, because "zhong" (zhong) and "zhong" (zhong) are homophones of "zhong" (zhong) and "zhong" (zhong) in Chinese. Therefore, giving a clock is equivalent to sending someone off to die, which is equivalent to hoping for someone's death. Watches also belong to this category and should be sent with caution.
4. "Umbrella" and "scatter" are homophones of each other, so it is best not to give an umbrella as a gift. However, giving an umbrella when it rains is a different matter. If good friends send an umbrella to each other, it will mean separation or divorce in the future.
Gift giving taboos
You must not send a watch.
"Zhong" and "zhong" are homophones, and "biao" and "bitch" are homophones; especially "sending a clock" will make the elderly think of "sending off the dead", which is very unlucky.
You must not send pears
"Pear" is homophonic with "li" (separation), which means separation. Therefore, it is not suitable to be a gift between couples or lovers.
You must not send an umbrella
“Umbrella” sounds the same as “scatter”, which means separation and is disliked by people, so umbrellas are regarded as unlucky gifts.
You must not give a fan.
Fans were only used in summer and would be thrown away in the cool autumn weather, which was considered heartless and was commonly known as "giving a fan without receiving a reward", so they were unpopular.
You must not give a hat
There is a saying in the folk saying "a mourning hat". When an old person dies, the filial son should wear a mourning hat, so it is taboo to give the hat to others. Especially green hats are a big taboo when giving gifts.
