*All customs listed below are only practiced during the period of time in which one is accustomed to observe the mourning customs, as explained in the previous Halacha. For semantic purposes we will refer to this as “the mourning period of Sefira”. All mourning customs apply both to men and women unless explicitly stated otherwise!

May one buy new utensils and items during Sefira?[3]
Yes.
May one give presents during Sefira?
Yes.[4] However, some[5] are accustomed to abstain from doing so.
