What are some good luck items that can work as a Christmas gift?
I've got a Ukrainian friend who has had a really rough year so I wanted to try and get her something small for the holidays that could symbolize good luck or perseverance. Nothing too expensive because that would make her feel uncomfortable in accepting it but a little something to lift her spirits up.
I was reading online that things made out of wheat are considered to be good luck or signs of prosperity like little dolls made out of it. (Motanka Doll) or items with a trident for strength.
But I've also found that it's tougher to trust what I get from online results because so much of it uses AI which isn't reliable. So I wanted to check here as more of a direct source. What do you think are good items for this? I've been checking around Etsy which seems to have a few items that could match what I'm looking for. I also thought of going down the handmade route but I'm not super good at that sort of thing so I'm not sure it would come out really well.
Examples of stuff I've found online so far after using AI to narrow down based on the above:
