Choose Lucky Gifts with these Feng Shui Rules
Whether they're gifts for the holidays, a housewarming party, or
another occasion, you can choose presents that bring Feng Shui
luck.
When you select a present for someone, it helps if you have
insights to their personal goals. Then your gift can enhance
their luck in that area. However some items are lucky in a
variety of areas. These include fantasy figures, plants, and
candles.
FANTASY FIGURES
A statue, painting, or poster of an angel can be a wonderful
symbol of supportive friends. Fairies in the same kinds of art
provide similar luck; their wings represent rising above
difficulties. Regardless of the recipient's goals, figures such
as these are very auspicious.
Art that represents other creatures from fairy tales, mythology,
and childhood stories can also enhance luck with business
associates, friends, and networking in general. Fantasy art and
figures boost creativity as well.
Statues, paintings, or posters of dolphins are perfect for
someone with a creative career. They're fine gifts alone or in
pairs and bring with them the luck usually attributed to fish.
However, dolphins have the added benefit of representing peace
and harmony as well as intelligence.
In fact, these symbols are so powerful, be certain that the
recipient truly wants this kind of luck in his or her life. For
example, if someone has a career in competitive sports or works
as an investigative journalist, peace and harmony may not be
among his or her goals. In that case, the figure of a dragon may
be more appropriate.
PLANTS
If you are giving someone a plant, choose a plant with two or
three main stalks.
A bonsai plant brings strong good luck to someone who is facing
hardships, but these plants can be challenging to keep healthy.
It's a perfect gift for someone with a green thumb. Otherwise,
consider a different plant.
Jade plants are sometimes called "money plants" because they
consistently attract wealth; they're also easy to grow.
The heart-shaped leaf of the philodendron plant makes it
especially lucky for someone who is single. Philodendrons are
also perfect for someone who has a "brown thumb" and otherwise
can't grow plants.
At the holidays, if you give someone a kit to force narcissus
bulbs at the start of the year, this can be especially lucky.
Just as lucky, lilies are legendary in China for helping to free
their owners from worries.
Lucky bamboo plants are very popular and can be purchased in
almost any store with a plant section. Although many of these
plants are not true bamboos, any similar plant is very
auspicious for attracting wealth.
OTHER ITEMS THAT SUPPORT GOOD FENG SHUI
Candles are another lucky gift in Feng Shui terms. Select colors
appropriate to the recipient's goals, or to match the areas
where the candles are most likely to be displayed. For example,
choose purple, green or gold to attract prosperity, or red to
enhance reputation.
Candles also prevent the gift from becoming clutter; after the
candle is used, it's gone.
Likewise, a gift certificate can be an ideal present if it is
for a meal in a fine restaurant, or can be exchanged for tickets
to a show. These kinds of presents create happy memories instead
of attracting dust.
Regardless of your budget, gifts can be simple or elegant and
still bring great Feng Shui luck. Choose thoughtful items that
reflect the decorating tastes and goals of the recipient. Each
gift will benefit the person who receives it, and luck will also
shine upon you.
