Hi Kiyoshi, your gift list is excellent. The only thing I would add is that if you’re giving someone a knife (awesome choice!) as a gift ( then make sure they give you a penny in return so they’re ‘buying’ it from you. A gift of anything sharp is supposed to indicate that the relationship will be severed. Kind Regards, Gerry | The Silentist

This explains so much about my relationship with my father.

But, seriously, I’ve never heard of that. Interesting tradition!
