Good Luck
We all have to face up to challenges at various points in our lives and although hard work and perseverance greatly increase the probability of success, an extra portion of "good luck" will never hurt.
A good luck wish from friends and family or a token of encouragement can fill the recipient with additional confidence and motivation.
Gift ideas
Electronics: MP3 Player
Make this gift more meaningful by including a few special songs when you purchase your choice of mp3-player.
Choose songs that relate to the recipient and yourself (songs from a joint vacation, a night out together, etc.) or which have a 'theme' (songs of encouragement, love songs, happy tunes). Explain the meaning behind your choice of songs in a personal message to make your gift perfect!
Symbols
Tassels & Fringe
In the Middle East, people believe that evil spirits will go to great length to avoid anything with either tassels or fringe.
In ancient Europe, tassels were worn to guarantee happiness.
Pig
In old times, when food and money were scarce, having a pig to eat was a sign of good fortune. In Germany, people acknowledge good luck with the saying "you have had pig".
The pig is considered a good luck charm, much like the four-leaf clover or rabbit's foot.
Horseshoe
One of the most popular symbols of good luck. The prongs have to face up or the luck will run out.
