Gifts as per Astrology


SWEETS AND CONFECTIONERY
All eatable sweet items are ruled by Jupiter. Gifting of such things is recommended. Jupiter rules over fat also. These items like chocolates, pastries, and sweets contain butter and ghee invariably. Such items are Jupiter personified. Jupiter is the biggest benefic planet and items of Jupiter will always bring good effects. All auspicious occasions involve distribution of sweets because of this reason. Gifting Jupiter items along with some of the other malefic gifts is also recommended as it reduces the malefic effects.
Even in other civilizations and cultures, auspicious occasions are celebrated by distributing sweets and confectionery. Jupiter being a planet denoting expansion through progress, it is beneficial to gift such items, as it will boost growth.
LEATHER PRODUCTS
There are many items made of leather which are gifted by people. Leather purses, shoes, bags and even items for decoration purposes alone. These items are primarily rules by the planet Ketu.Leather belts are fully Ketu. Gifting of such items is like gifting Ketu to a person. As per Vedic system, it does not augur well for a person to receive such items. Ketu is a malefic planet and for limited natives, it gives good results. Such gifts can increase the Ketu energies in the house which leads to misery and even poverty in many cases. Ketu is unpredictable. It can give extreme results in many cases. It has been observed by many people that they suffer financial loss whenever they use a wallet. This is due to ketu acting in full flow. On the other hand loss of power and prestige, transfer to a place or to a post where the person wanders have also been seen with the use of belts.
Leather products are also prohibited inside the temples as they represent malefic things.
 PERFUMES AND FRAGRANCES
In modern times a flourishing trade is perfume industry. Every shopping arcade has innumerable number of fragrances displayed for sale. People gift these items on every occasion these days. Even in old times it was a practice to gift Ittar which is nothing but perfume. Venus is also a great benefic planet and perfumes are the domain of Venus. Such gifts are recommended as in most of the cases it has no ill effects.
There are some exceptions to this also. For certain natives, Venus is strong marak planet. In such natives, use and accepting gifts of perfume can trigger ill health and sometimes aggravate a dormant health condition. But these are very rare cases and one can understand ill effects himself. In such cases, donating these perfumes can help. Some fragrances like sandal are to be used with caution. Although it is very much ruled by Venus but it is known to attract serpents. This fragrance carries the influence of Rahu as well. It is better to avoid those perfumes which have sandal-based fragrance as Rahu’s effect can have malefic influence on the native using it.
 CLOTHES 
Another item which is frequently gifted by people is the clothes. Various items of clothes are under the influence of various planets. The clothes above the waist and the waistbands are ruled by Ketu. Clothes below the waist are ruled by Rahu. But gifting of a unstitched piece of cloth is recommended as it is ruled by Sun Jupiter combined. Jupiter being a benefic gives no ill effect.
Certain items of cloth like stripes and check pattern for clothes like shirts and kurtas are specially Ketu clothes. Such items should not be gifted and if the native has malefic influence of Ketu in his chart, then it can actually prove very malefic. Trousers of Black and Blue colour are ruled by Rahu. Rahu is also a malefic planet. Hence, it is recommended that stitched clothes of above type should be avoided as gifts.
There is one exception to this rule. If clothes are gifted by father to a daughter or daughter’s children or son in law, then there is no dosha. The reason being that it is considered as alms( Daan) rather a gift. Person accepting this will have no suffering.
Clothes made of coarse cloth like KHADI are ruled by Sun. It is recommended to gift them as it gives boost to the energy of the recipient. Sun being life force, is never malefic in such type of gifts. It gives majesty to the forces operating in the life of the recipient. Similarly, white silk clothes are ruled by Moon. These also can be gifted and carry no malefic effect . The reason being Sun and Moon both planets neutralize the effect of Rahu and Ketu in clothing. Gifting unstitched silk cloth is like gifting Venus. Venus is benefic and this gift is highly recommended. Similarly other fine quality of cloth is also ruled by Venus. Gifting them is generally very good.
ACCESSORIES 
Blankets of dark colour are ruled by Rahu. Blankets having check and stripes are under heavy influence of Ketu. These should never be gifted. Even the blankets of Fur are also governed by Ketu. Fur jackets, Leather Jackets are also Ketu articles. These gifts can create disturbances and can trigger misery for a native. These are not recommended.
Ties are also an item which are gifted frequently. The tie is a symbol of serpent and it is a Ketu article. For those natives where it is benefic, ties are beneficial. But Ketu being malefic, these should be avoided as gifts. It has been observed in cases where the natives get power and position due to Ketu position in their charts, ties as a gift can give immense boost to the prestige of the native. This is typical of Ketu trait. But generally if it is not sure, then it should be avoided.
