Energy and Entities can be attached to gifts and once we accept the gift we are opening ourselves to the energy attached to it and allowing it to enter our homes. Some of these energies can be negative depending on whom they were gifted from, the conscious intent behind the gift or the energy that is around the person/persons which can attach Itself to the gift.
If it feels strange or if the individual that gave you the gift is not coming from a place of love don’t keep the gift! This happened to a client in a house clearing where the entity was attached to a Teddy Bear. If there is an increase of paranormal activity after you’ve received the gift then you will most probably need to dispose of the gift appropriately and do a house cleansing using sage and if it continues you might need a professional come out to clear it.
This can also occur with second hand items or antiques.
