Jewelry and Charms

Good luck charms and pendants are a beautiful and classic way to wish someone well. A four-leaf clover is a classic Irish symbol for good luck and several retailers carry the clover as a charm, necklace or even earrings. Another option is to pick a charm inspired by the person’s Chinese zodiac sign. The Chinese classify the signs based on a person’s year of birth, which connects to one of 12 creatures. A symbol from the Chinese zodiac is an especially good idea for a person born in the year of the Tiger. This is the luckiest of all the 12 signs symbolizing success and fortune.
Feng Shui Gifts

Feng Shui is the ancient Chinese art of creating harmony and good fortune in your life. Plants are an important aspect of Feng Shui, and they make lovely good luck gifts especially for occasions such as a housewarming, new baby or new job. Give a “How To” guide with the fresh plant to make sure the plants are displayed in the most advantageous way. In general, avoid giving bonsai plants as a gift because in Feng Shui they represent stunted growth. Also avoid placing fresh flowers in the bathroom or bedroom. Instead, a fresh basket of fruit in the bedroom creates prosperity. At the office, place the good luck plant in the east, west or southwest corner.

Look To The Buddha
-
Buddha statues are common decor fixtures in gardens, homes and offices. There are several different faces of Buddha, but if you want to wish someone well, you need to purchase a Laughing Buddha statue. The Laughing Buddha portrays the Buddha as a fat, happy man with a round belly. It is a symbol of luck, prosperity and abundance.
Inspirational Books
-
A more traditional choice for a good luck gift is to give an inspirational or good luck book. The book can be a novel about achieving your goals or creating success in your life. It can also be something more fun such as a picture book of good luck symbols or even a children’s book about following your dreams. If you are wishing someone luck for a wedding, give the friend a book about good luck rituals for the big day.
