Superstition from Russia

Watches, knife and handkerchief. These things are not considered the best gifts for Russian people. Handkerchief for example is a sign of tears, knives - of enemies, and watches - of separation.
Even if you are willing to give a luxurious handkerchief from Hermes, a Russian girl would prefer to buy it herself but not cry. If, nevertheless, you are going to give one of these things, be prepared that you will get a coin in exchange. This is done to create the illusion of  a purchase.
