If you look around the internet, you’ll find good luck
charms everywhere. You can find rabbits’ feet, acorns, cinnamon sticks, raccoon
penis bones (really), pendants for bracelets and other jewelry, horseshoes and
more. The gift ideas are endless. Now that the world is getting smaller, people
in the West are even buying mini-statues of Ganesha, the elephant-headed
obstacle remover god of Hindu lore.
The above ideas are all easy internet searches, and of
course, we have you covered with the pendants and some other jewelry items.
After all, we’re called Pendant Nation.
Here are some gift ideas for you.
Booze
Normally, alcohol is bad luck for those who imbibe too
often. It also doesn’t normally have good luck qualities when given as a gift,
and it’s not a good luck charm. However, the word on the street is that alcohol
does bestow good juju to newly married couples. It’s said to bless the marriage
with happiness and health.
Patron Saint Jewelry
The patron saint concept is one that comes from Catholicism.
They include St. Michael, St. Jude, St. Charles and others. Saints are often
thought of as protectors, so jewelry with images of them or quotes by them can
be good luck charms.
Protestants don’t normally recognize saints. However, other
religions do. Neem Karoli Baba was considered a saint in India. “Be Here Now”
author Ram Dass and devotional songwriter Krishna Das have given him fame in
the west, and both are sources of many fascinating stories about him. Many of
them were compiled in Ram Dass’s book, “Miracle of Love”.
When embodied, Neem Karoli Baba used to say, “Whoever comes
in front of my photograph is seen by me.” People of many paths feel that way
about their chosen saints, so a picture makes a nice gift. Someone made a
necklace with a picture of NKB and
sells
it on Zazzle.
If you’re looking gift ideas for a Catholic or someone who
loves a Catholic saint, Pendant Nation offers a collection of
Patron
Saint Medals.
Number Charms
It seems like everyone has their lucky numbers. If you want
to stay religion-neutral in your gift choices,
numbers are a pretty universal choice. Make sure to find out what
numbers the recipient associates with good luck.
Pendant Nation has a collection of
number charms.
They are pendants, so you can attach them to necklaces and other jewelry.
Graduation Luck Charms
Good luck charms do come in handy for people who have just
graduated from a school or degree program.
There is no standard format for these. A pendant, knickknack
or other piece of jewelry or object, in the likeness of something related to
graduation is fine. Owls, diplomas, the year of graduation, a hat with tassels
or a head wearing one all make good imagery for these things.
Sports Charms, Key chains and Other Jewelry
This type of jewelry only acts as a good luck charm for a
desired winner of sports games. If you know a die-hard Uconn Huskies basketball
fan, or an enthusiast of a professional sports team, sports jewelry is great.
There are many “superstitions” in sports, even among those who don’t consider
themselves believers in magic otherwise.
Customized
collegiate charms and other jewelry are easy choices, and we do carry
those. Just click on the link in the previous sentence and choose your jewelry
type, then your team and style (sterling silver, gold plated, etc). Choices
include, but are not limited to, key chains, pendants, pins and necklaces.
Charms in General
We’ll be done with charms in a minute. Not all can be
categorized. To plug our own wares again, we offer a
10K
Gold “I love Bingo” piece, which may have some magic mojo properties in
your favorite bingo venue. There is also one that declares “I love sex,” and
this may very well help a male friend with his batting average or help a female
friend find someone she actually wants to couple up with. At the very least,
it’s a conversation starter for sure. You can get that at this link :

Rose Quartz Jewelry
Everyone wants love, or almost everyone. Rose quartz jewelry
is a great gift for singles and those with significant others. Some people use
it to attract love. Others use it because it is said it adds the energy of
unconditional love to relationships. Either way, it’s hard to go wrong. It’s very
beautiful, too. You can buy necklaces, bracelets and other jewelry with rose
quartz beads.
We don’t carry rose quartz, but you have an entire internet
to search through.
If you haven’t found the right gift idea yet, at least we
