The following are the things you should never gift people:
Casserole sets -This is the most obvious of all gift items and need to be cast aside on principle. You won’t want the same as your wedding gift, then why gift it to others? Right?
Bowl sets - Another item that needs to be avoided at all cost. Any household will have them in plenty. So what will be the use of such items? Moreover, crockery and others give out wrong signals to the bride. She might get a notion that everyone wants her to stay home and cook.
Statues - Statutes can never be considered as a worthy gift. Statues of Gods and Goddesses are a nice way to bless the pair but they too are things that everyone have. They are the most common item for gifts.
Picture frames - Picture frames if not otherwise decorated becomes a major no when it comes to gifts. They are nothing exemplary or out of the box.

My wife got quite offended by it thinking my family and friends want her to be a homemaker contrary to her working self which is not the case.”
