Certain numbers (especially 4 and 9 because of their pronunciation is similar to death and suffering, which said unluckiness is shared between most of Asia), and certain things not to give as presents to family and/or friends as they have meanings, e.g. if you give a pair of shoes as a present, it will signify you want this person to leave/end the relationship you have with them, a clock or a watch is a sign related to the lifetime of the recipient, and cutlery (especially knives) will tell them that you want to make a clean break with them (the term "yi dao liang duan" contains the word for knife illustrating a knife cuts something into two), and so on.
