Musical Frogs

A musical frog is more than just a symbol of good fortune; it is also a musical instrument (see References). Musical frogs are carved from a variety of types of wood. Each frog is hollow and features a number of different sized bumps on its back.
The small statues come with a wooden stick with a thin handle and a broad top. When the broad end of the wooden handle is gently stroked across the bumps on the frog’s back, it creates a musical croaking that sounds similar to the noises of actual frogs. You can also use the stick to gently strike different areas of the frog, like its legs or head, to get hollow thumps. Combine the croaking and thumping to create a beautiful musical experience. Hopefully you can attract the fortune of the frog with your music.
Money Frogs

In the study of Feng Shui, the frog represents good fortune; sitting on a bagua, or Taoist cosmology map, the frog also symbolizes protection and security. To give someone a wish for fortune and protection, consider gifting them with a money frog. These frogs are small statues that come in a variety of materials, including jade and rosewood. These frogs hold coins in their mouths, symbolizing the wish for a prosperous and fortunate endeavor. Some of these frogs are carved sitting on baguas, while others reside on lily pads or flat tables.
A money frog can make a great housewarming gift, especially for someone just getting started on his own (see References). Your wish for wealth, prosperity and protection will not be easily forgotten.

Frog Totems
-
If you’ve ever had a person remind you of an animal in his characteristics and personality, then you understand the basis for totems. People who connect to their animal totems can often harness the animal’s better characteristics and learn from the animal wisdom. Consider helping someone get to know a frog totem (see References).
As a totem, frogs can help us remember to refresh and cleanse ourselves, as they are mostly associated with water. Frogs can jump up to 20 times their length in a single bound, helping us to keep confident and sure even when facing difficult challenges.
Totem gifts can be as simple as a beautiful picture of the animal, or a book about the animal’s characteristics and lives. You can also give the gift of jewelry that features the frog totem, including charm necklaces, rings and bracelets.
