One gift-giving taboo in China is the giving of straw sandals, which are associated with funerals, and therefore considered bad luck.

Why would straw sandals be associated with funerals I wonder?

Because you wear them at the funerals?

Other taboos include clocks and candles, because they insinuate death (clocks can stop ticking, candles burn down).
