Every person, irrespective of their status in life, is in need of more good luck: gamblers and lawyers, entrepreneurs and travelers, doctors and athletes.  We believe that you, like everyone else, want to attract good luck, love and wealth into your life. For us the question is: How can we help you attract good luck with Feng Shui? 

Chinese Feng Shui art and science is a good place to start.  Feng Shui is all about the relationship between the flows of energies.

The Law of Attraction is a universal law that is described as follows: “That which is like unto itself is drawn.” In other words, thoughts and things that are similar to each other are drawn to each other. They are said to have a similar “vibration” levels.

There is significant overlap between Feng Shui and The Law of Attraction in that both metaphysical disciplines focus on good and positive energy vs negative energy. The biggest differences occur where they tend to get applied.

Feng Shui is generally applied to the home and to the workplace where human beings spend the vast majority of their time. By improving the positive energy of our immediate environment we can bring positive changes in the important areas of our lives, such as relationships, career, health, prosperity.

Similarly, The Law of Attraction is applied to general categories in life, such as health, wealth, relationships, events, and life in general.

So, we can say that Feng Shui and The Law of Attraction are two ways of describing the same thing: how energy flows in life.

One of the most confusing aspects of The Law of Attraction for many people is the role that positive and negative play in our own thought patterns. The key is to understand when a thought is truly positive and when it is negative.

When a thought focuses on the lack of a positive thing, the thought itself is negative, even though the subject matter of the thought points to something positive. So if you are hoping to attract money into your life, for example, noticing the lack of money actually focuses on the lack and produces negative results.

Similarly, focusing on not having enough good health attracts more bad health, even though the prayer or wish expresses a desire for better health.

No matter what your particular orientation is between these two giants of metaphysics- Feng Shui and The law of Attraction, you will appreciate our Feng Shui Paintings for Wealth, Prosperity, Abundance. These inspirational wall art décor additions to your home and office will infuse the positive energy flow that both the Chinese Feng Shui practitioners and the Law of Attraction practitioners desire.

You will also appreciate our Tibetan Thangkas Meditation Gifts from either perspective. These beautiful and artistic creations depict Buddhist gods and deities that bring good luck and positive energy to any home and office space.

And no matter how you look at or understand the flow of energy in your life, you will love our spiritual healing jewelry that brings good energy. You can experience the positive beneficence this lucky jewelry brings in your own life because it’s more than just attractive costume jewelry. It actually contains positive levels of chi to happily influence the events of your life.

Bring the good energy to your home and office with any of these unique good luck gifts for men and women from our Feng Shui collection, and begin to attract good fortune into your life to achieve whatever is most important to you.

When it comes to purchasing gifts for the yogi in your family or group of friends, you might find yourself pondering what would be good for them.  Surely they have a surfeit of yoga mats and water bottles. So, when it comes to giving yoga lovers something to better their practice, you should consider some of the following examples of unique gifts for yoga lovers.

Tibetan Thangkas for Meditation

Nothing sets the ambiance of a meditation nook like having a beautiful Tibetan thangka to gaze into. These Buddhist paintings (alternatively spelled tangkas, thankas, or tankas) work much like figurines and mandalas during meditation. The images that are selected depict Buddha and Tibetan Buddhist deities or enlightened ones; and inviting such pure energy into a space is said to promote good luck and health.

Yogis will adore a Buddhist Thangka for many reasons: meditation practice, atmosphere, and concentration. Plus, a thangka would be a great accent piece in a yoga studio!


Guanyin (Kwan Yin) Gifts

Do you know a yogi who is the epitome of compassion and grace? Do they exude the aura of a Bodhisattva? Gifts that feature Kwan Yin are perfect for yogis, friends, and yoga teachers, who promote kindness and understanding. Holding onto a Guanyin figurine or pendant helps a yoga practitioner channel good energy into themselves and their surroundings. In a yoga studio, the presence of Guanyin will add a touch of Feng Shui and help others find their balance.

Kwan Yin gifts would also be wonderful for those who might be in need of some prenatal yoga (or teach it), because this particular Bodhisattva of Compassion is also said to increase fertility levels!


Feng Shui Decorative Pillows

Does the yoga lover you are hoping to find a gift for love pillows? The wonderful thing about Feng Shui printed decorative pillows is that they add a touch of comfort wherever you put them—in the living room, the yoga studio, the meditation nook, or on your bed. Plus, pillows make for functional art.

Better yet, although these are decorative, the yogi might want to incorporate their new pillow into their practice. Having something Feng Shui to support their back or head during savasana or putting it beneath their legs during dandasana could be just want they need for a more comfortable practice or restoration.

Explosion Luck has gorgeous examples of decorative Feng Shui pillows in stock.

Antique Buddha Statues

Big or small, a Buddha statue is quite the statement piece; and it is something a yogi who loves Feng Shui and Buddhism will absolutely adore. Depending on the size of the figure, and the type of Buddha, these pieces are more than simple artwork. Yoga practitioners will often rest figurines in their palm during meditation to guide their focus and thoughts. Of course, larger statues are often “enshrined,” and can become a focal point in your friend’s yoga studio or home practice space.

Any yogi will be thrilled to receive something as thoughtful and useful as a Buddha statue. Such offerings are considered wishes for good luck and prosperity. The busy yogi can bring their Buddha with them on the road or into the cubicle, so that they can take a moment and reflect anywhere they are in the world. So why not give your favorite yoga lover or instructor a Buddha figurine and let your warm wishes of success and health accompany them for years to come?

Spiritual Jewelry for Her and Him

Nothing displays one’s gratitude more than giving someone the gift of luck, wealth, and longevity. Feng Shui inspired jewelry is magical; and anyone can enjoy the benefits. Should your yogi friend not have a home studio to hang a thangka or keep a pillow, a wearable version is the answer! You see, just as a painting or statue brings good vibes to any environment, Feng Shu jewelry and good luck charms bring goodness and happiness to the wearer.

Some examples are spiritual pendants, healing crystals, and talismans. Feng Shui pendants come in a variety of shapes and sizes too, so whatever your yogi likes, you can surely find it. Because most have a decent length and don’t dangle, these meditation jewelry pieces of wearable Feng Shui art can be worn during practice.

Seeing a place different from your own corner of the world will give you a much-needed perspective in your own life. Meeting people from other cultures can teach you many things. For example, it can show you that your way of seeing the world – perhaps through mass or social media – is not the only way. In fact, you may learn that your way of seeing the world is harmful, misguided or self-indulgent. Gaining this insight into your own life can bring a healthy dose of reality into your day-to-day mindset when you get home.

Traveling presents both new challenges and new opportunities. It is in the midst of these that we learn the most about ourselves and what we are capable of. By stripping the conveniences we rely on in our day-to-day lives, such as TV, Starbucks and Uber, you can learn more about yourself and what’s important to you.

International travel presents lots of challenges you may have never faced before. Every time you overcome one of these challenges, you develop new skills and improve on those skills you may not have known you had. Starting up a conversation with a friendly stranger will improve your social skills. Climbing a mountain or going white water rafting will allow you to access diverse skill sets such as upper body strength, patience and grace under pressure. Overcoming these challenges will give you the confidence to face different types of challenges using those same skill sets when you return home.

You may find it difficult to truly embrace the freedom that comes with traveling when you are away from home. This is because sometimes we are bogged down by our own insecurities and preconceived notions of what we deserve and want. You may wish to carry a good luck charm with you to help build confidence in new situations.

Explosion Luck’s Feng Shui jewelry and inspirational Tibetan Buddhist jewelry pendants make for easy-to-carry charms that bring the wearer good luck and inspiration everywhere they go.

 Good luck charms, amulets, travel talismans and other good luck gifts, inspired by Feng Shui art, are important for cyberathletes and athletes.

Athletes primarily rely on their own strength, physical skill and will power to win competitions and break personal records. Similarly, cyber athletes hone their mental skills through diligent, daily practice. No matter how hard they train and how much they practice, there are going to be plenty of uncontrollable factors at play that can affect an athlete’s performance, such as the weather or air humidity. One of the biggest factors out of an athlete’s control that can affect his performance is other athletes. It is because of these out-of-control factors that an athlete or cyber athlete may wish to invest in a good luck charm to wear on game day.

1) Good luck charms channel positive energy into the athlete’s performance.

This gives him an opportunity to create the reality he sees in his head – that he is a winner.

2) Amulet and talisman jewelry items help the athlete achieve a mindful advantage over opponents.

Physical strength isn’t the only type of strength required to succeed in athletics. Athletes need a strong mental state as well, if they are to succeed in the often ruthless arena of sports or cyber sports. Athletes benefit from having a strong self-confidence and experience in practicing mindfulness. The benefits to athletes in practicing mindfulness include improving grace under pressure and being more patient. Explosion Luck’s amulets, talismans and other good luck jewelry gifts bring the wearer inner peace and can help strengthen meditation practice and mindfulness in athletes. For example, athletes competing to join their nation’s Olympic team are under tremendous amounts of pressure. Matching Olympic-style training sessions with Explosion Luck’s Feng Shui good luck jewelry can yield prosperity greater than what could have been achieved on merit alone.

3) Lucky charms empower cyber athletes to win!

Explosion Luck’s lucky charms jewelry and pendants empower their recipients by yielding good fortune, prosperity and inner peace. When matched with an athlete or cyber athlete’s hard work, diligence and determination, the inner peace and positivity that comes from wearing an Explosion Luck good luck pendant can empower the wearer to work toward achieving things they’d never had the confidence to consider otherwise.

About Buddhism

Buddhism is a religion to over 300 million people. Its origin point to Butsu, also called Gautama, Gautama Buddha, Prince Siddhāttha of Siddhartha, the founder of Buddhism. Buddhist religion is unlike other contemporary religions in that, to many, it is more of a spiritual tradition and philosophy based on understanding and practice than a faith-based religion. Buddhism explains a purpose to this life and promotes practices that lead to inner peace and happiness. In Buddhism, all “gods” are impermanent higher beings who are subject to rebirth. They are not creators or deities with absolute power. The Buddha was not a god, nor did he ever claim to be.

Who was Buddha?

The Buddha was Prince Siddhartha Gautama, born into a royal family in what is now Nepal, in the year 563 BC. Before he turned 30, he came to accept that the wealth and luxury into which he was born would never guarantee him happiness, and so he left home to study different philosophies. After six years of diligent study and meditation, Buddha finally reached what he called ‘the middle path,’ or enlightenment. After finding enlightenment, the Buddha became known as Shakyamuni and spent the rest of his life teaching the principles of Buddhism.

Buddhists and Buddha lovers all over the world keep artistic depictions of Buddha around their homes, Buddhist altars, meditation rooms and work spaces. In fact, bronze sitting Buddha statues are popular and fundamental decorative pieces for bringing mindfulness and prosperity into the home and office.  The bronze sitting Buddhist statue will improve Feng Shui of any office and home where it is placed.

Main Beliefs of Buddhism

The main beliefs of Buddhism can be summed up with the Four Noble Truths and the Noble Eightfold Path. The Four Noble Truths say that life is suffering, suffering is caused by craving, suffering can be overcome to reach happiness and the only way to end suffering is through the Noble Eightfold Path.

Following the Noble Eightfold Path means being moral, focusing on the mind and on full awareness of thoughts and actions, developing compassion for others and understanding the Four Noble Truths.

Tibetan Thangkas, when hung in the home, yoga studio or meditation room, act as a simple means to reinforce the Four Noble Truths in daily life. These beautiful, ornate Buddha paintings depict scenes featuring the different Buddhist gods and goddesses. Such sleek and colorful Feng Shui tapestries make for visually stimulating reminders that suffering can be overcome and that life is beautiful.

Buddhism in Western Society

Buddhism has become popular in western countries for several reasons. In practice, Buddhism encourages a deep understanding of the human mind. Psychologists and neuroscientists around the world are beginning to discover that there are effective mental health benefits to Buddhist practice. Meditation, a fundamental practice in the Buddhist religion, is based on guided breathing to obtain mindfulness, the state of objective awareness of the present moment.

Meditation helps with seeing bad thoughts and negative emotions such as jealousy, fear and disappointment in an objective way. When one meditates, one becomes able to separate the self from these negative thoughts, letting them pass without feeling connected to them. Meditation has been proven by neuroscientists to increase cognitive functions including focus, retention and happiness.

Mindfulness is not an easy state to obtain. It takes practice and discipline. For many, a simple visual reminder is all that is needed to strengthen this discipline. Buddhist pendants and Feng Shui jewelry pieces act as visual reminders of achieving inner peace. So wear them close to your heart everywhere you go to remind you to get rid of negative thinking and stress during meditation and open yourself up to good luck, positive energy and positive thoughts.

Many people want to know where to buy beginner meditation gifts that improve concentration.  

Here, at the online shopping website Explosion Luck, we’ve blogged about the power of Tibetan thangkas and Feng Shui paintings to improve the creativity of writers and artists.  The best work, study and creative processes happen when you’re deep in concentration that is only achievable through meditation.

Focus helps sharpen your thoughts and helps those thoughts to flow smoothly. Whether revising, writing a presentation, painting, coding a computer program or creating a musical masterpiece, focusing will bring a new clarity to the whole process.

How to Improve Your Concentration While Studying

Many articles on improving concentration recommend the obvious things such as having a dedicated place to study, limiting distractions, ensuring you sleep well and take regular exercise breaks. General advice often also includes emptying your mind before beginning a period of study. This is where a feng shui artwork can pull your thoughts towards a focal point of study. Depending on your preference a Tibetan thangka, a Buddhist pendant necklace, a water image, a sand art picture, or an amethyst crystal cluster could be a good starting point. Focus on these pieces of Feng Shui artwork for a few minutes before beginning to study, and experience the difference in the improved ability to retain information.

How to Increase Concentration

Concentrate on Feng Shui water painting for a minute. Imagine that water sweeping your worries and concerns away. There they go, over the waterfall and away down the river. Out of sight. Now your mind is open and ready to receive the new information you’re preparing to study. It’s a blank canvas to fill with the words of your next article, an image of a new painting, the notes of that song you always wanted to write. The key is to have an open and receptive mind. Let the fast river sweep away your worries, as you immerse yourself in the calming blue waves of the water element.

How to Improve Concentration Skills

A Feng Shui sand art picture is another great way to improve concentration skills. Sand is an earth element, and it will bring balance, stability and focus. The grains of sand are always moving. They will take those things that you’re worrying about with them to the bottom of the pile. Leave them there and you’re ready to fill your head with more positive things; new learning, new images, new thoughts. It may seem like a strange thing to do at first, but after a while you will find it becomes more natural.

Ways to Help Concentration

You must have heard the expression ‘give it to God’, or “turn it to God” when you’re looking for the solution to a problem. With a Buddhist thangka tapestry you can do just that. Hang a piece of Buddhist deity art in your office or meditation room and mentally hand your problems over to the deity before beginning a period of study, contemplation or planning. Let the Tibetan thangka help solve your problems while you concentrate on moving your life forward with new knowledge and strategies.  To achieve faster results, wear sacred Buddhist pendants close to your heart for improved concentration during meditation and to improve your luck.

What to Do to Improve Concentration

All these strategies can help concentration. Everyone has different ways of sharpening their focusing skills, but it boils down to:
1. Clearing your space and your mind with the help of mindfulness and meditation.
2. Putting an end to worrying about other things – imagine those worries being carried away from you
3. Eating, drinking and sleeping sensibly.

Take a few deep breaths while clearing your mind with assistance from your favorite Feng Shui gift and you’ll be ready to focus on the task at hand. Take your choice from our unique good luck gifts for women and men here at Explosion Luck and feel the positive feng shui energy helping you today.

It may be a time for others to know they can call on you for a chat or a chance for some downtime with a closed office door and soothing music.

However you approach enjoying a cup of tea, it is likely similar in manner to those who harness the power of feng shui art to empower their lives. Feng Shui is an ancient Chinese system that helps enhance energies so that all people and things can exist harmoniously together. Originally this meant orientating buildings to the most auspicious alignment. At the online unique gifts store Explosion Luck we carry a lot of Feng Shui gifts, products and items to help you improve the energies of your office and home, and thus create positive changes in your business and personal lives.

The unique feng shui products for women and men, including unique Kwan Yin gifts for health, mediation, better concentration, good luck and prosperity, as well as vintage Chinese teapots that we carry are suitable as thoughtful gifts for others as well as pieces to spoil yourself with. They are suitable for home or office display and will bestow a variety of blessings upon the place where they are displayed as well as drawing comments on their colors, frames, looks or design. If you don’t like the idea of ornaments, and not everyone does, you can carry your own good luck with you at all times. You can enhance the goodness granted by your daily cups of green tea with a striking pendant bringing good luck, wealth and health. These spiritual jewelry pendants make unique gifts for women and men and are based on the Tibetan thangka tradition of a piece of personal meditative art. As you would expect, the paintings on the pendants are delicate and detailed, like a fragrant Earl Grey Pekoe.

One of the more unusual gifts we offer is the selection of grasshopper and cricket ornaments. These noisy insects spread joy wherever they hop, and with their vibrant colors they will brighten up any space. These feng shui statues and figurines are all handmade, so each is unique, and because they are available in such a wide variety of colors there will be one to suit any room. As bright and positive as you feel after your first cup of tea of the day, these cheerful good luck charms make ideal drinking companions. You can sit and admire the light dancing off their wings as you slowly sip your tea and feel your worries smooth away. These lucky grasshopper and cricket figures make unique gifts for a businessman and a business woman who can display them on a shelf or desk in their office to invite career success and prosperity.

You can display Tibetan thangka on a wall in a living room or foyer, office, board room or bedroom. These detailed spiritual tapestries make great meditation pieces, due to the vibrancy of design, and of course, they bring career progression, health and prosperity too. One of these thangkas would be appropriate to display in an interview room or reception area where prospective candidates will see it. The knowing will recognize its positivity and many others may well find it relaxing to lose themselves in the rich designs for a few minutes before the interview. Offer them a cup of tea brewed in a vintage Chinese bronze teapot to calm them, and you may well see the best of them during the interview.

Just like unique gifts for tea lovers, feng shui paintings are suitable for both men and women. They have the added bonus of offering more than a few minutes’ quiet contemplation, as they bring wealth, prosperity and abundance to the recipient. Plus, they’re truly restful scenes of water, birds, still life and landscapes which would suit any room. Have you considered giving a unique stress relief gift set to that really difficult person to buy for that everyone has in their family?

What does Feng Shui art and coffee have in common? We believe that both are God’s gift to Man.

Feng Shui art is based on the ancient Chinese practice, art and science, whereby feng shui masters and practitioners harness the natural energy in the environment to bring harmony and balance to our life. Today you, too, can harness the positive energy of your environment and enhance your life with unique good luck gifts for sale at Explosion Luck.  

With the help of our feng shui office paintings you can create a positive work environment conducive to business success and to boosting employee engagement and morale. And with the help of Tibetan thangkas and feng shui paintings for home you can bring more love, harmony and balance into your personal life and into your house.

Coffee is an art and a lifestyle. Just the aroma of it starts the hearts of many to pitter patter in anticipation. The flavor is intoxicating as the brown, caffeine-saturated droplets slither down one's throat. Coffee is also the national addiction. For many, the day cannot begin without a soothing coffee, which brings a sense of peace and normalcy to an otherwise insane world.

Explosion Luck has a number of unique non-coffee gifts for male and female coffee lovers and connoisseurs which are also made specifically to relieve stress, improve concentration and provide stimulation and inspiration like a good cup of coffee.

Consider, for example, the droplet-shaped Feng Shui pendant known as "Vairocana." Measuring slightly more than an inch wide and standing an inch and a half tall, this colorful Tibetan pendant pictures the three faces of the celestial buddha surrounded by a peaceful assortment of flowers. Wear it close to your heart and it is sure to bring both admiring comments and a sense of calm in times of trouble.

Alternatively, consider one of the hand crafted grasshopper images which are encased in an attractive 4" x 4" x 5" clear plexiglass box. The one entitled "Catch Me if You Can" is especially appropriate for coffee lovers, since it represents the carefree spirit of peaceful harmony that everyone hopes to find--just like a grasshopper flitting aimlessly from twig to twig. This particular grasshopper is crafted in a brilliant bluish purple color, with green and red highlights to give it contrast.

Another item designed to bring its owner serenity is the Buddhist tapestry entitled "Guanyin Standing by the Water". This 35" x 24" feng shui artwork depicts the beloved Chinese Goddess of Mercy. This spiritual wall art symbolizes purity and compassion, and radiates a calming presence to all who see it. Calm and normalcy are the foremost hopes of all coffee drinkers, and both precepts radiate profoundly from this delightful Buddhist artwork.

Another calming and inspiring gift from Explosion Luck is the 32" x 24" picture entitled "Abbey Island Looms Over Ruby Beach." This scenic island lies in Olympic National Park in the State of Washington. The feng shui image of this island has the appearance of a stately ship of tranquility, floating on a peaceful and calm sea. Just one look at the island entices the viewer to cast himself heedlessly into the water and swim over to its shore, in order to explore the hidden treasures the island certainly must have to offer on its green hillsides.

The wisdom of the Buddha is legendary and many people seek comfort in his words, just as many people seek comfort and energy in coffee. Therefore, all coffee lovers should consider the antique bronze statue entitled "Calming Buddha." Measuring nearly five inches tall and approximately three inches wide, this relaxed Buddha figure has its hands clasped and eyes closed in a perfect picture of deep meditation. In moments of stress when calm is so desperately needed--and a coffee is not readily available--the mere sight of this reflective, peaceful little character should inspire a much-needed sense of gentle tranquility and positive attitude.

Are you looking for unique gift ideas for Father's Day to decide which special and unique gift or which one-of-a-kind gift set to buy for your Dad?  Why not give him unique gifts for good luck, inspired by Feng Shui art, to elevate his health, luck, tranquility and confidence in mid-years?

While Mother's Day is celebrated with fanfare and hype befitting the nurturing female who treated us with patience when we were annoying little tykes, Father's Day is often greeted with not as much attention as it deserves.

Fathers are, after all, dearest people who are always expected to be there for us to bail us out of trouble. They are often blustery and noisy and like to spout off about the government or the economy or how their kids should do better in school.

This Father's Day give your dad a unique gift that tells him how special he is and how much you appreciate him.  At Explosion Luck we have many Feng Shui products and one-of-a-kind gifts for him. 

Consider for example the handcrafted grasshopper statue entitled "The Sage." Contained in a 4" x 4" x 5" glass box suitable for display anywhere, the grasshopper sports a brilliant green body and vibrant yellow wings. The name of this piece is particularly fitting for Dad, since he is (or at least likes to THINK he is) the sagacious and wise one in the house. He realizes deep down of course, as we all do, that his advice is only followed if Mom confirms it, but in his typical male ego is willing to overlook this fact and assume all the credit for his good advice.

Another fine good luck gift that is particularly fitting for Father's Day is the majestic and awe inspiring wall art painting entitled "The Great Escape." Depicted in this painting is a rugged cowboy in hot pursuit of two wayward cows on the sagebrush mountains. All fathers picture themselves as rugged individualists, whether they actually are or not. This picture captures the essence of what Dad considers his true inner self to be, even if no one else sees him that way.

Dad is also sure to love one of our impressive sand art pictures. These unique framed pieces of Feng Shui artwork have captured sand which rests between two pieces of clear glass. If the picture is inverted, the sand shifts and falls, creating an ever moving landscape of beauty and repose. Dad is sure to love the Aurora Borealis sand picture, with its icy blue and white colorings, etched also with shifting black. The effect is both eerie and serene as the sands shift. Dad is sure to enjoy one of these sand pictures in his office, as a conversation starter for all who enter.

Another inspirational Feng Shui gift for Father's Day is Tibetan thangka depicting the Avalokitesvara, the Buddhist deity of Infinite Compassion.  This Feng Shui artwork will help Dad improve his health, luck and outlook and even become inspired to undertake the new meditation routine he's been thinking about.

And yet another gift item that Dad will probably enjoy in his office is the Vaishravana Feng Shui decorative pillow. The image on this pillow is of a scowling Vaishravana, one of the four heavenly kings. This somber image is a pleasant reminder to Dad that his own scowls are often appropriate, as he seeks to correct the bad ideas of his children and co-workers. But the pillow serves another useful purpose as well. In those rare office moments when no one is watching, Dad can use it to get comfortable and take a short catnap, to rest his weary bones.

An Inuit sculpture is also sure to please Dad, due to its rustic power and strength. For example the Dancing Bear Inuit statue demonstrates both the fun-loving and frighteningly powerful image that all fathers like to have of themselves. All fathers are just big, happy, dancing teddy bears in disguise, and can usually be kept happy with the simple things of life. But like all bears--watch out if you get them upset!

Is your Dad a tea lover? Give him a unique non-tea gift for tea connoisseurs.

And if he is a coffee drinker, give him a unique non-coffee gift for coffee lovers.

And how about good luck necklaces for men that will bring health and prosperity to your Dad?  Or Kwan Yin gift that will bring him good luck? Explosion Luck's Feng Shui jewelry store quality collection includes stunning Asian good luck charms and unisex pendant necklaces that bring good luck.

Finally, you should consider getting your history buff Dad the antique Tibetan Red Conch Shell. Etched decoratively with brass-toned silverwork, this colorful item sports red, turquoise and indigo blue pieces in the lotus flower. While Dad will admire the articulate handiwork that went into crafting this fine piece, he will also see it as a great addition to his growing collection of Buddhist art.

Unique good luck gifts for retirees, baby boomers, grandparents, mom, dad, gifts for mother in law, father in law, and unique Feng Shui retirement gifts help alleviate the unpleasant realities of life, such as advance of age, and boost vitality and brain function of the recipients of such positive energy gifts.

We all get older as the years go by, no matter how hard we try to cover up the fact, or try to deny it by pretending that the passage of time somehow does not apply to us. Each one of us will face a startling day when we suddenly realize we are older than we thought we were, and have arrived at one of those horrible landmarks by which we identify the "older set." These landmarks are known by a variety of names, such as "middle aged," "over 40," "over the hill," "of retirement age," "pension recipient," and "old geezer."

Feng Shui wall art, good luck jewelry and unique gifts offered by Explosion Luck can help soften the blow of our advancing years, and will elevate our aging confidence at the very time we see our steps begin to stumble. One Feng Shui jewelry item that does this quite well is a good luck pendant made of white stone, which measures just under 2 inches in width. Portrayed on the stone is the Chinese symbol "Fu", which symbolizes good fortune. As all elderly persons know, it is always a sign of good fortune to be able to get out of bed in the morning, and to have enough memory left to find the way to the kitchen for breakfast.

Another Feng Shui gift sure to delight and remove the sting of advancing age is the White Tara Tibetan thangka tapestry, which portrays a manifestation of Avalokiteshvara--the protector and preserver of life, and of long-life in particular. The Tibetan tapestry is finely woven and is roughly 2' x 3' in size, suitable for hanging on any wall in the home , in office, or in meditation room. The figure in the White Tara comes complete with seven eyes, all of which are unafraid to look at our aged frames in a kindly way.

We all like to think we are timeless of course, especially as we age and our wrinkles begin to show. One of the dramatic portrayals of timelessness that can be purchased on ExplosionLuck.com is the 2' x 3' wall art of Bridal Veil Falls, in Yosemite National Park. This majestic waterfall towers 188 meters above the green beauty of the park. The water seems to flow endlessly in a gentle display of soft power, looking just the same as it did when it was first discovered hundreds of years ago. All of us would love to think we can age with similar grace and beauty.

Another inventive gift for baby boomers is a moving sand art picture Nemo from the Deep Sea collection of Explosion Luck's moving sand art.

And yet another Feng Shui gift which is sure to arouse interest in persons of any age is a 3" x 6" golden cricket, which comes complete with golden antennae. The sparkling gold of its head and legs is beautifully offset by its deep blue body. Once again, the symbolism is one of luck, which no person of advancing age should be without. Place the cricket in your car, and you are sure to find it in the parking lot when your aging brain forgets where you parked. Place one in your office, and you are assured that work will be a little less chaotic and luckier than normal.

A final piece of Feng Shui art which everyone will enjoy is an antique bronze statue Praying Buddha. Every aging person will appreciate this piece, which speaks of calmness and nobility in the face of a bickering world of turmoil. And just as the praying Buddha always purposely moves onward, we also can move steadily forward with our eyes set on the future, guaranteed that no matter what our age life will always bring us good luck, new surprises and happy moments.

If the parent, the baby boomer, or the retiree for whom you are buying a unique gift loves movies, give them a unique non-movie gift for movie buffs.  If they love books, give them a unique non-book gift for book lovers.  And if they love to travel, give them a unique gift for art, culture, travel and history lovers.

When looking for unique non-movie gift ideas for movie buffs and unique gifts for movie lovers consider giving them unique Feng Shui inspired gifts that will bring up associations with their favorite movies.

When moviegoers think of romance, pathos, and intrigue, few movies fill the bill more so than the unforgettable classic 1942 Casablanca. Its exotic locale, deep in the crevices of Morocco in North Africa, blend the delicateness of love and the frailty of life with the high stakes of wartime occupation. Toward the end of the movie, Rick looks into Ilsa’s eyes and leaves her with the famous final words that will last a lifetime.

The Antique Tibetan Amber Pendant looks and feels just as timeless. Its Feng Shui energy matches the strength and courage that heroes like Rick and Lazlo need to combat the enemy and do what’s right for the greater good. What would be better than to wear such radiant amulet jewelry as a symbol of protection, guarding everything you hold dear? Bravado, resilience, an insatiable need for adventure, and the capacity to love are the most indelible attributes of every hero. This handsomely made double-sided sterling silver Feng Shui amber repousse pendant, which boasts meticulously beautiful coral and turquoise, speak not only of courage, but of good fortune.

Whether you’re an ambitious man or a motivated woman, anyone who’s tried to move up the corporate ladder searching for wealth and prosperity has watched films like Working Girl, Wall Street, Social Network, and Jobs. Those films inspire and give hope to those who may not feel convinced than can attain long lasting success. Tibetan thangkas paintings, also known as Buddha thangkas, bring ample supplies of positive energy to set you a step above your demanding, always eventful life in the corporate world. Explosion Luck's Bohemian Tibetan thangkas and Buddha paintings offer a stillness and provide the harmonious balance employees need to prevent negative energy from delaying or even sabotaging their dreams. Feng Shui Tibetan Thangkas boost much required health, prosperity, and career advancement.

Thankfully, the power of cinema can also be realized by the power of Tibetan Thangkas (also spelled tangkas, thankas or tankas). These pieces of Feng Shui artwork, depicting Buddhist gods and deities, provide the tomorrow’s CEOs with a plethora of good luck and positive energy to prosper in high-pressured office setting. When used for meditation, Tibetan Thangkas, along with Buddha statues, stimulate the healing of mind and body and augment motivation, attentiveness, and affluence.

The sprawling action-adventure epic Raiders of the Lost Ark, and the rest of the Indiana Jones films give us a sense of wonder and fascination. We’re captivated by the daredevil stunts and near misses. We’re left on the edge of our seat watching Indy get out of yet another hairy situation. But, what is also evident in these movies is the power of belief. The Antique Bronze Meditation Buddha Statue portrays the wisdom of the Buddha and, bearing its China Qing dynasty mark, it enlivens any space with its noble presence.

As a genuine artifact, it reminds one of the Grail that Indy had to find in order to heal his wounded father Henry in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. The Grail had healing powers, but it was hidden among several fake Grails and Indy had to choose the right one. The real Grail gives life while the wrong one takes life away. The Buddha statues as well as the Moving Sand Pictures, good luck jewelry and Feng Shui paintings for wealth, prosperity and abundance contain the power to heal and alleviate stress. Why? Because they are as authentic as the real Grail. They are truly inspired by Feng Shui art!

Buying a unique gift for a bookworm can be a tricky business. While the first thought is always to buy them a book, most avid readers tend to be rather picky when selecting their next book to read, and usually prefer to choose their own reading material. Gift books they receive therefore often gather dust on musty bookshelves, or end up in thrift stores (if the bookworm is sure you won't discover that your book was given away).

It is therefore usually safest to give a bookworm a non-book item that fits with the general theme of reading. Explosion Luck has many superb non-literary gifts that fit this requirement very well. One of the foremost of these is a good luck grasshopper art piece, which is completely handmade. Take a look at the charming grasshopper called "The Bard," after the most famous writer of all time--William Shakespeare. Standing a few inches tall, this grasshopper has delicate wings of light blue, dark blue and lavender, and rests on a slice of wood from a California date palm. Also take a look at Feng Shui gold cricket and Feng Shui silver cricket art statues that will bring good luck to book lovers while reminding them of Charles Dickens’ novella “The Cricket on the Hearth”.

Another compelling gift for a book lover is a Feng Shui painting entitled "Palm Trees, Pinagbuyutan Island, Palawan, Philippines." It shows a beautiful ocean/beach scene, complete with twisted palm trees. At first blush this might seem a strange gift for a bookworm, since it suggests something other than reading--spending a lazy day of swimming at the beach. However, as all avid readers know, the setting where one reads can be as distinctive and attractive as a good book itself. A bookworm looking at this scene will instantly think how wonderful it would be to lie lazily on that beach, reading a favorite book without a care in the world.

The next unique gift which will fascinate most bookworms is a sand art piece entitled "Moving Sand Art Picture Captain Haddock." It consists of a round, brass, foot-wide frame that looks like a porthole in a ship. Inside the glass of this porthole is captured sand of various shades of brown, grey and white. If the frame is inverted, the sand will flow down from top to bottom within the glass, creating an ever changing scene of mountains and valleys. Readers will appreciate this piece not only because of the reference to Captain Haddock--the crusty sea captain from the "Tintin" series--but also because of the suggestion it gives of constant movement and change of scenery. A well written book is also ever-changing, creating new images that provoke both pleasure and contentment in the reader.

Another unique gift which will be appreciated by the bookworm is an antique Tibetan amber pendant. It can be worn as a necklace on a chain, or simply displayed as a work of art. The pendant is approximately 3 1/2 inches wide, and is a beautiful swirling amber color." This pendant is perfect for book lovers because of the immediate images it will evoke of stories involving similar objects. It may remind the reader of the ring of power Frodo Baggins carried on a chain around his neck to the land of Mordor. Or the amber color could even remind the reader of delicious donuts made by the dozens in Robert McCloskey's "Homer Price”. A glance at the pendant may also conjure up images of Sherlock Holmes opening a pocket watch which provides a clue to solving a crime. And, speaking of Sherlock Holmes, the world’s greatest detective would certainly put this antique Chinese amber smoking pipe to good use.

And those you love the classical Chinese novel "Dream of the Red Chamber", written by Cao Xueqin, will enjoy receiving the Chinese hand fans featuring Xue Baochai. and also featuring Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu, the principal characters involved in a love triangle.

Unique Feng Shui gifts that bring good luck are vital for one’s personal and business success. Happiness, often referred to as inner peace, is equally important for success in today's world. Inner peace is yearned for by those who are at a crossroad in their life and the middle-aged, desired by youth, and is the hope of the elderly. It is the great quest of the modern age.

Yet in a world of deadlines, scheduled appointments, obligations, bills, responsibilities and duties, peace sometimes seems elusive and hard to find. How many people say to themselves every day, "Oh! I wish I could just sit down for a minute, and have a minute of peace! I'm so TIRED of this mad rush, every day!"

The good news for all seekers of peace is that it CAN be found. One need only pursue the path that leads to it, and it will come and land on your nose as gently as a butterfly. And as with all things great and beautiful that can be obtained in life, the journey towards peace must primarily take place WITHIN. And once peace is found in a person's life, outward manifestations of health, material abundance and love unavoidably follow.

To put it another way, peace is not an outward "thing" that one must "acquire" in the same way one buys groceries at the store. It is an inward state of being that must be nurtured inside, and can only be achieved by those unafraid of what they will find there. This takes mindful meditation, contemplation of the truths and beauties of life, and an appreciation for all the beautiful things that abound so plentifully in the world around us.

Feng Shui art is one of the guide markers that can be used on the road to find peace. This ancient Chinese mode of thought concentrates on finding harmony between individuals and their surroundings. After all, every action taken in the world around us first began as a thought in someone's mind. Feng Shui's focus is on harmonizing one's energy and thoughts with the outer environment, which cannot help but result in good consequences for those who practice it.

One of the most compelling ways that we mortals achieve a sustained level of thinking on any subject is by the use of triggers, or "reminders." If we surround ourselves with beautiful Feng Shui products, supplies and gifts, we cannot help but be reminded of beauty. Conversely, if we surround ourselves with images of trouble, difficulty or despair, our thoughts will be directed along those paths.

Hence, Feng Shui gifts, products, items and cures accomplish far more than anyone would ever dream possible on one's road to success and happiness. These good luck gifts can direct a person's thoughts toward peace, success and well being on a continual basis. The sight of these good luck charms invokes thoughts of happiness, peace and harmony. It is therefore of great benefit to have a number of such reminders constantly around oneself, to assist in the quest for peace.

Explosion Luck has a number of unique Feng Shui items that can greatly assist in this process. Take, for example, Feng Shui jewelry for good luck and love. These uniquely crafted good luck jewelry items bring harmony and energy to the wearer, and motivate his or her thoughts towards peace. Feng Shui paintings and Tibetan tapestries can be used in prominent locations in the home or work environment, thereby providing daily inspiration and sparking ongoing inspiration. Grasshopper art, Buddha statues, Inuit sculptures and sand art pictures also provide constant reminders that will help in one's quest for harmony, positive energy and peace.

No matter how many or how few Feng Shui gifts we use to prompt our journey toward peace, we should never cease our quest. After all, unity of thought, peace, harmony and beauty are abundantly worthy goals. Once obtained, they will coalesce into a unified wholeness of joy, which together with Feng Shui art will continue to enrich our lives beyond measure.

 Good luck gifts, inspired by the Five Feng Shui Elements and Feng Shui art, are important for every person who believes in the power of good luck.

Whether you run your own business, work for a large company or are starting out in a completely new direction as an entrepreneur or freelancer, it is intriguing to know how much luck can play into your professional success. Some people refuse to acknowledge the possibility that luck is an important factor in business. Others swear by luck, like the famous television host Larry King, who once said on CNN “Those who have succeeded at anything and don't mention luck are kidding themselves”.

Of course, if you are to be successful, it is extremely important to make educated decisions, to seek help and advice where you need it, to follow your intuition and to take risks without sacrificing everything. If you enter a field in which you have no background or training, without the support of others around you, your chances at progressing are limited. If you are sufficiently prepared, well-educated and open to input from others who have succeeded before you, you are well-positioned to advance in your career. This is just common sense.

Yet many studies suggest that no matter how much you prepare or protect yourself in the world of business, luck will always play a certain role. Choosing to take a risk with a tiny start-up in the 1970s, Mike Markkula could not have possibly known what the company, Apple, would become. Can we credit his decision to fund this particular tech start-up over the many others available to good luck? Mark Zuckerberg took a huge risk with his future when he dropped out of Harvard to work on Facebook. Was he simply lucky that his venture was a success and not a huge flop? Publishers turn down thousands of proposals a year. Can we say the twelve publishers who rejected J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter manuscripts experienced bad luck? How about the manager who turned down The Beatles?

Some would call those publishers and managers “unlucky”. Others would say the tech giants were more skilled at spotting immense potential than the publishers and managers. But the truth remains that it is impossible to predict the future, no matter how well-informed we are. It is not only a great benefit, but a great comfort, to have good luck on our side.

If we cultivate an environment in our workplaces and homes that follows the principles of Chinese Feng Shui and, thus, favors good luck, fortune and inner peace, we immediately give ourselves a significant advantage. A dedication to positive Feng Shui office and home environments, surrounding ourselves with authentic Feng Shui gifts, good luck grasshoppers, lucky Buddha statues, Tibetan thangkas, Feng Shui jewelry and Feng Shui paintings for prosperity can have a powerful impact on our lives.

Even if you are skeptical about the powers of good luck, believing in luck increases your confidence, optimism and motivation, three invaluable qualities in entrepreneurship.
A career in business, no matter which area you work in, requires cleverness, acumen and the courage to take risks.

In addition, believing in luck and carrying travel amulets, talismans and good luck charms with you keeps you safe when you travel.

At Explosion Luck we cannot predict the future, nor can we quantify chance. But we believe that with Explosion Luck's Feng Shui artwork, good luck gifts and good luck charms for safe travel on your side, you can progress in ways you never thought possible, with a level of confidence you would not have otherwise.

Buying unique good luck gifts for art, culture, travel, history and antique lovers is not easy. 

In fact, it may be as challenging as coming up with unique gift ideas for creative people and cool gift ideas for entrepreneurs.

It is much easier to start brainstorming good luck ideas for travelers and good luck ideas for travelling in advance. When someone’s birthday rolls around, it doesn’t take much effort or creativity to put cash in an envelope, wrap up a generic big brand item or purchase a gift card from a department store. For an impersonal Secret Santa or a sullen, pre-teen nephew you know absolutely nothing about, those might be great options. But what about when the birthday is for someone you really care about, someone whose gift you want to put real thought into? What about when that person is someone who loves Buddhist art, travel, or other cultural pursuits? Someone who deserves a unique gift for safe travel, a real good luck gift for travelling.  Unsurprisingly, a generic gift card simply won’t suffice. Travelers and other creative people deserve unique creative gifts that bring good luck, such as fengshui travel amulets, Fung Shway travel talismans, Feng Shui travel good luck charms, especially from their close friends and family.

But whether or not you are an art or travel lover yourself, never fear- we have the perfect gift for every creative type. Here are some good gift ideas and our suggestions for unique online gifts you can get that art, culture, travel or history lover in your life:

Good Luck Gifts for the Globetrotter

There are several difficulties travelers can encounter as they wander around the world. These can range from the dangerous and exhausting (good-bye, creepy hotel I’d already paid for! Good-bye, international flight I just missed!) to the mildly irritating (such as running out of funds just before wanting to book that once-in-a-lifetime yoga retreat or sky-diving experience). Travel is amazing, but it can also have its low points. However, one of the most unexpected difficulties for travelers can be returning home to culture shock, missing the culture and little details of the places you fell in love with abroad. If your special someone has traveled to Asia, especially to engage in a yoga course, meditation retreat or to visit the gorgeous Buddhist temples of Cambodia, China, India or beyond, this little sitting Buddha statue would be the perfect good luck gift to greet them upon their return. This beautiful antique bronze “Calming Buddha” statue evokes the peacefulness of a Buddhist temple, and improves Feng Shui in the home, yoga studio, meditation corner, art room, and office.

Good Luck Gifts for the Culture Buff

In a world of fast fashion, multinational chains and designs copied and re-copied over and over again by brand after brand, unique and one-off jewelry pieces with cultural significance stand out from the crowd. When searching for a thoughtful gift that combines style, culture and history, a symbolic good luck pendant can be the perfect choice. Good luck pendant necklaces are not only beautiful in themselves, but they can tell a story (not to mention complete an outfit). This white and green Feng Shui pendant depicts the goddess Guanyin, her seated form carved into solid jade. Guanyin is famed for her tranquility, her benevolent personality, her calming nature and her positive energy. Plus jade is a gemstone famous for bringing good luck!

Good Luck Gifts for the Antique Collectors

There is a fine line between culture and history- the two are difficult to separate, and each feeds into the other. But there is something about authentic antique good luck gifts and retro gifts for men and women that can transport you back in time. Objects like these feel like a little slice of history. For those who love history and collecting precious objects from faraway places and eras, Tibetan antiques can be some of the most precious gifts they ever receive. This gorgeous antique Tibetan conch shell is not simply a historic artefact (which would be enough in itself to interest a history lover). It is also a cultural and religious icon. One of the Eight Buddhist Symbols, the conch symbolizes the teachings of Buddha and is often played as a horn during ceremonies. It’s also an intricate and unique Feng Shui artwork.

Good Luck Gifts for Art Lovers

One of the most unique and creative gifts a person can receive is a personally-selected, authentic piece of art. Much like the above sitting Buddha statue, Feng Shui art can be restorative, spiritual, and calming. Displayed in a bedroom, art room, studio or any special space, Tibetan Buddhist artworks create a harmonizing effect and balance Feng Shui in the office and home. For a thoughtful artistic gift, Tibetan thangkas are a wonderful option. Thangkas, images of Buddhist deities, are traditionally used as aids in meditation, and are said to protect from evil. These powerful Tibetan tapestries are also believed to evoke healing energies, leading to mental, spiritual and physical health benefits. Give Tibetan thangka as a traditional artwork for appreciation, as a unique yoga gift, or a specialty meditation gift. Opt for an image in soothing and harmonious colors, like this thangka of the god Vajrasattva, a symbol of cleansing, purification and compassion.

Antique Gifts for History Lovers

Even non-smoking history buffs will be thrilled to receive a unique antique Chinese smoking pipe that will help them travel vicariously to the Far East without leaving their homes. 

We’ve blogged about Feng Shui paintings for a law office as unique stress relief gifts for lawyers.

Attorneys, and especially "Type A" personality lawyers, can be a tough bunch to shop for, be it for Valentine’s Day, Christmas, birthday, or other special occasion. Many lawyers already have everything. They are usually rather picky and critical, which is the reason they are lawyers. And they are usually outspoken about things they do not like, making it even harder to buy a unique gift for them. And then there so many different occasions and gift buying opportunities: gifts for lawyers passing the bar, gifts for lawyers who make partner, birthday gifts for lawyers, gifts for lawyer boyfriend, gifts for lawyer girlfriend!

Fortunately, Explosion Luck has some excellent good luck gifts for attorneys that will make almost any lawyer smile and will even help them achieve inner peace. And these one-of-a-kind gifts will match every lawyer's taste, irrespective of whether he or she is a coffee lover, or a tea lover.  The first unique gift for a lawyer is a painting entitled "A Prickly Problem," showing a dog who is trying to figure out how to attack a porcupine. The dog is sitting on its haunches with one paw raised, clearly at a loss for what to do. This picture will instantly resonate with most lawyers. After all, it is the nature of their business to solve impossible problems that no one else could hope to solve. Clients expect it of them daily. But that does not make the problems any easier.

The second unique gift which we believe almost any lawyer will love is a six panel Chinese desk screen, just under a foot tall, with a colorful picture extending across the panels of fish swimming through lakeside flowers; plum blossom and Feng Shui birds and flowers. Not only is this office ornament sure to prompt comment from every client who enters the attorney's office, but it allows him to hide some of the messy files on his desk. And if the attorney gets a bit sleepy, he can even take a quick catnap behind his screen, free from the inquisitive eyes of his secretary and staff.

The next unique gift is one of the beautiful, hand-made grasshopper figurines offered exclusively by Explosion Luck. While all of the colorful grasshopper gifts are breath-taking sights to behold, the one sure to please any lawyer is a white, blue and purple piece entitled "Your Honor." No matter how confident a lawyer is, he/she knows that the judge they will soon face in the courtroom can make them look like they just got out of first grade. At least in the sanctity of the lawyer's office, they can have a captive judge who will do them no harm.

The fourth unique gift, and one which is sure to become the lawyer's favorite, is a moving sand art picture. In particular, the one with a background image of planet earth is particularly appropriate for the lawyer, since it serves as a reminder that there are bigger things going on in the world than the tedious cases the lawyer has strewn across his desk.

Explosion Luck's sand art pictures provide a fascinating and ever-changing artistic landscape. Falling sand is trapped in either the bottom or top part of the picture, and if the entire picture frame is turned upside-down, sand trickles down from top to bottom, creating a constantly changing horizon on both the upper and lower parts of the picture. Small mountains at the bottom grow constantly bigger as they are fed with sand from above, while the mountains of sand at the top grow ever smaller. To change everything all over again, all one has to do is invert the picture once more, which the specially designed frame easily allows.

The final unique gift which any attorney would enjoy is a 1 1/2' square pillow cover, which sports an image of Vaishravana (the god of wealth) on its cotton surface. Wealth is a very significant part of any attorney's practice, and the reminder of wealth this pillow cover provides will sometimes give the motivation an attorney needs to carry on with his stressful lifestyle.

And of course, if he or she gets sleepy, they can always use their pillow to catch a quick snooze behind their Chinese desk screen …

We’ve blogged about grasshopper statues and Feng Shui horse paintings as unique gift ideas for mindful entrepreneurs who need Feng Shui gifts for prosperity, stress management and unique stress relief gifts.

Everyone wants to know where to buy unique and inventive gifts for entrepreneurs, and where to buy uncommon gifts for free-spirited men and women like you, especially if you belong to Type A personality. We believe that you need a true good luck gift. 

It’s a simple thing. You’re different.

Not better or worse, just different.

You make decisions differently, you run your life differently, and you definitely are wired differently.

You quit the corporate world to create your own world. You never liked the vision of others so you created your own vision – of a company, a family, and a life.

Did it take some intestinal fortitude? Absolutely. Would you give it up? Absolutely not.

But we know that it gets lonely at the top of the mountain. As Shakespeare said in Henry IV, “uneasy lies the head that wears the crown.” As an entrepreneur, you carry so much responsibility – for you, your family, and the family of all those who work for you. Who do you complain to? Somebody that works in a job? Your therapist? Your spouse?

None of these are answers, and we both know that the real salvation lies in your own mind. Finding that place that gets you back on track and lets you recharge the batteries, no matter how busy you are – that’s why we built Explosion Luck – to provide unique good luck gifts to help those that need to lose the stress and live an inspired life.

Here are five unique gifts ideas to bring luck to entrepreneurs to consider as you think about lowering the stress in your life and improving your good fortune with Feng Shui gifts, Fung Shway jewelry, Feng Shui office paintings and statues…

Take a look at some of our most popular and inventive gifts – like this Feng Shui Pendant. When you cannot escape all your responsibilities, simply having this close will give you the chance to make sure that you aren’t stuck “in” the stress, you are rising above it.

Another popular choice for entrepreneurs has been our Feng Shui painting Amalfi Coast S.L.L. As you look at this beautiful representation of the historic coastline, those stressors melt away and next thing you know, you are recharged and ready to go!

When you are closing the deal in the office and negotiation is getting intense, consider keeping your keepsakes, lucky charms and Feng Shui jewelry in our Enamel Jewelry Boxes in Five Colors. Whether it is to keep that special amulet or even just some jellybeans, this is the thing to help you refocus and keep your edge.

For all you men and women out there who are betting on the stock market – and that is definitely a place that will drive those stress levels through the roof, think about being able to cast your gaze to the wall of your office and see The Bulls Cometh from our Western Art collection? Bear or Bull, you know you’ll be a winner, but isn’t it nice to have that reminder? Put down the ticker and see that the bulls are going to be there for you. Now laugh all the way to the bank.

Speaking of Bears, take a gander at our traditional Inuit art and specifically, our Feng Shui Inuit Art Sculpture Dancing Bear. No matter the breaking points, one look at this fellow on your desk will lower your blood pressure and keep you focused on the task at hand.

Any one of our unique gifts for men and women can take that weight off of you and give you the moments’ pause to refocus. Once you have that, you’ll be able to drive through for the win. After all, you weren’t made to report to a boss, you are bigger than that – the way you relax and refocus is different, too.

The handmade grasshoppers art statues proudly handcrafted in the U.S.A. in Explosion Luck's new collection of unique good luck gifts make great Christmas gifts for men, women and kids, and, even more so, for entrepreneurs. Grasshoppers are not only universal good luck symbols but also great Feng Shui gifts.  Grasshoppers have often been passed down to us as beloved characters in children’s stories, and Explosion Luck has just started our own beautiful line of Limited Edition grasshopper figurines for our clients. But have entrepreneurs ever sat down and thought about the similarities they share with the grasshoppers?

Here’s some food for thought about handcrafted grasshoppers as unique gifts to bring luck to Type A entrepreneurs from Explosion Luck.

Grasshoppers make their own music. This one is common sense, is it not? By and large successful entrepreneurs and businessmen march to the beat of their own drum and make their own music in life.

On the path to success, they are often called crazy, and their vision for success is often ridiculed and laughed at by detractors who are convinced their company is bound to fail. Yet the drum beat and music in their head cannot be silenced; they walk their path driven by their unique vision.

Grasshoppers follow their gut instincts. The ears of grasshoppers are actually located on their bellies. Let me ask an entrepreneur a simple question, how important is your “gut feeling” when it comes to being a successful businessman? Having the ability to sense and detect opportunities (as well as dangers) that nobody else in the room can recognize?

The intuitive ability to sense things in your gut is what often separates the wheat from the chaff in the business world, and, as most businessmen know, experience or educational level doesn’t guarantee that you’re endowed with it (look at how many successful billionaires like Bill Gates, Michael Dell, and Mark Zuckerberg are actually college dropouts).

Grasshoppers can take flight in order to avoid danger. Look at the staggering percentage of businesses that fail and go bankrupt within the first few years of operation, or look to the stock market, where vast fortunes can be wiped out in the blink of an eye.

To succeed in business, you have to be able to sense danger and take flight, even when those around you laugh at you and tell you that everything is fine.

Grasshoppers use camouflage to blend in perfectly with their surrounding environment. What’s the lesson that we can take from this? Know your corporate surroundings as well as the intricacies of your industry inside and out.

Being able to successfully traverse office politics is vital if you’re going to succeed, but so is being the most knowledgeable and respected opinion in the room when it comes to the industry your company is competing in.

Grasshoppers are early to rise. He who arrives first gets the juiciest leaf to feast on. Entrepreneurs who keep their ear to the ground and are constantly looking for new fads, trends, and markets are the ones who receive the lion’s share of profits, while the rest of the pack have to content themselves with the leftovers.

If we’ve picked your curiosity with these striking similarities between entrepreneurs and handcrafted grasshoppers, you now know what kind of unique gift to get your entrepreneur friend, or loved one this Christmas.

Still undecided? Check out other inventive good luck gifts for men and women, foolproof Christmas gifts for men, Feng Shui golden cricket, Feng Shui silver cricket, Feng Shui gifts that improve concentration, good luck paintings for home and unique gifts for him and her from Explosion Luck.

Feng Shui paintings for office along with good luck gifts for attorneys can help lawyers de-stress- and create a positive energy in their private and professional lives. This positive energy can then be used to achieve success in all aspects of their lives (including career advancement and personal wealth) without having to sacrifice their health or work-life balance.

Feng Shui art’s ability to relieve stress and promote positive healing is especially important for the legal profession. The stories of lawyers (many of them only in their 40s) dying from strokes and heart attacks are so common as to be almost cliché.

Harrison Barnes (who runs a highly successful career blog and is also a lawyer) recounted how a young “rock star” lawyer that he knew at his firm would work up to 15 hours a day and billed between 3,500 to 4,000 hours a year in order to impress his company’s partners. He ended up dying of a heart attack at the age of 41.

The legal profession can be a high-stress calling for those who decide to pursue it and who have a Type A personality. In such a work environment, finding ways to reduce stress and do physical exercise can be incredibly difficult. It’s quite common for many lawyers to experience significant weight gain, as well as having to take medications in order to cope with stress and anxiety-related ailments and diseases.

Well, here’s an idea for those lawyers who have to endure these types of work conditions. Why not embrace the wisdom of the East by outfitting both your workspace and personal living space with the healing powers of Feng Shui art?

Explosion Luck has an amazing collection of Grasshopper statues, Feng Shui art, paintings, Buddha thangkas, moving sand pictures, amethyst crystal clusters and unique gifts, all of which are outstanding mediums for meditation, increasing mindfulness, and maintaining internal peace.

Our Feng Shui thangkas, pendants, paintings and unique gifts for him and her can also help reduce stress and anxiety, promote healing energy, and help create a positive work environment that will protect you from so many of the ailments and diseases that are known to plague the profession.

No matter what your salary is, there’s no amount of money that’s worth your physical health, let alone your life. Finding ways to cope with stress and creating a positive work environment (which can be perceived as a form of preventative medicine) should be a number one priority for lawyers, and Feng Shui art is one of the best ways to bring harmony, peace of mind, and positive energy into your life.

We’ve blogged about the importance of unique gifts for him and her, Feng Shui jewelry, Tibetan thangkas and Feng Shui paintings in promoting good luck, mindfulness, mindful meditation, and stress relief.

The holiday season is once again upon us. Although it can be fun to surprise the people in our lives with just the right gift, shopping can sometimes be difficult and time-consuming. With all of the options in the gift market, shopping can be overwhelming -- especially when you're seeking to give something personal, enjoyable, and also useful.  That's where Feng Shui art, Buddhist jewelry gifts and lucky Feng Shui pendants come in.

Last year, the most common New Year's resolutions were centered around self-improvement. People are living more stressful lives than ever these days. It seems that only rarely do we have the ability to slow down, relax, and really live in the moment. With the frantic pace of everyday life come some very unhealthy habits: anxiety, stress, and a desire to move in too many directions at once. This frenetic modern lifestyle can make us very unhappy, not to mention unhealthy.

The practice of meditation and mindfulness can be a tremendous advantage to those who are chronically overworked or stressed. When we meditate, we slow our minds down. We become one with our breath and our bodies. Through this ancient relaxation technique, we can actually increase our enjoyment of life and decrease our worries. Taking just a few moments to meditate each day can actually make us feel healthier and less stressed. As a reminder of the importance of meditative mindfulness, meditation enthusiasts often seek inspirational meditation aids, such as mindfulness Buddhist pendant necklaces, to allow the mind fully open up to the mindfulness. Tibetan thangkas can also serve as a perfect visual accompaniment to this practice.

Each Buddha thangka (also called a thanka, tangka, and tanka) is elaborately crafted and full of beautiful Buddhist symbols that can remind us of the importance of meditation and mindfulness. Thangkas are true works of art; they serve not only as a meditative focal point and beautiful object d'art, they also impart their positive energy and good luck into your living or workspace. Buddhist thangkas are important visual reminders for us to slow down, take a breath, and replace that voice of urgency within ourselves into a calm and restful whisper.

Feng Shui is another practice that infuses its practitioners with mindfulness and good vibes. By utilizing the natural Feng Shui properties of the items that fill our living spaces, we can actually harness the positive energy around us to gain greater fortune and contentment. Explosion Luck's Feng Shui Buddhist pendant necklaces and antique Tibetan amber pendants are not just practical for these important techniques, but are also fashionable and elegant. Inspired by practices such as meditation and yoga, these pendants are created to be worn and admired. They are also wonderful and tangible pieces that can be used in your daily meditation routines. The natural minerals such as jade, crystal, and stone in these Feng Shui pendants will keep you feeling grounded, while their intricate beauty will lift your spirits.

If you are currently wondering about the perfect good luck gift for someone that you love, consider these meditative treasures for your loved one. The peace and mindfulness that these lovely items provide will be a true and lasting gift that brings love, well-being and pleasure far beyond this holiday season.

Feng Shui wall art and Tibetan thangkas are very important for baby boomers and snowbirds.

And we are talking not only about the Feng Shui wall art to enhance the positive energy of the primary residence. It is equally important for the Feng Shui of your second home, vacation home, your yacht and RV.

It may be warmer weather now, but those bright sunny days are going to be gone before we know it. Leaves will start to fall and will eventually be covered by the first snow. It's during this time that those in colder weather states are getting ready to migrate to warmer climates. These people, otherwise known as snowbirds, aren't about to stick around for the negative temperatures and inevitable blizzards and winter storms. Snowbirds fleeing the October-April months usually end up at a vacation home or second residence in states like Florida, California, or Arizona. But time away from their family and friends can be stressful.

This is why it's important for snowbirds to have a meditation room, a home altar, or a zen room, that's properly decorated with appropriate images to help them reach their optimum level of zen. Buddha Thangka tapestries make an excellent addition to any room, but they're especially important for those who need a little extra boost of positive energy when far away from home. If you're a snowbird, and you haven't set up a meditation room yet, consider doing so. The benefits of having a meditation room decorated in Buddha Thangka tapestries will help ease the separation anxiety you feel when you're far from loved ones.

Take, for example, our Eight Medicine Buddhas Tibetan thangka tapestry. Not only will these eight buddhas provide positive energy and healing, but they will ease any tension and suffering you feel from the stresses in your life. Watch your worries, aches and pains fade away when you hang this beautiful tapestry in your meditation room. The Eight Medicine Buddhas will watch over you while you find inner peace during meditation and periods of solitude. To enhance the effects of the tapestry, you can pair it with one of our Medicine Buddha pendants. It's lively colors and healing properties will help keep you in prime health as you go about your day.

To truly be at one with yourself and your surroundings, our Maitreya Buddha (also known as Future Buddha) tapestry will guide you through your meditation. Maitreya's love and compassion will warm your soul and still your troubled mind as he gazes benevolently down upon you. Known for being a teacher of meditation, Maitreya also bestows wisdom and understanding on those who hang this tapestry in their home, office or meditation room. Pair this elaborate tapestry with one of our Laughing Buddha pendants for an added touch of luck and fortune that will combine with the wisdom of Future Buddha, giving you success and happiness in your endeavors.

Our selection of Buddha thangka tapestries includes many more varieties of Buddhist figures such as Guanyin, goddess of mercy and compassion, and the deity Vajrasattva for purification and cleansing of the mind, body and soul. Accompanying Feng Shui jewelry and Tibetan Buddhist pendant necklaces can be found in our online store and are often used to enhance the effects of other Buddhist elements. Your meditation room won't be complete without Feng Shui art, so browse our selection and find your perfect Buddhist painting or tapestry today.
