Dreamcatcher Wall Hanging

Dreamcatchers play a prevalent role in many Native American cultures. Believed to have been invented by the Ojibwa Chippewa tribe, the spiderweb-inspired crafts were intended to protect people by “catching” any harmful dreams or thoughts.
Lucky Penny Necklace
KathrynRiechert | $24
“Find a penny, pick it up. All day long, you'll have good luck.” According to this beloved rhyme, discovering a discarded penny is a sign of good fortune. So, we can only imagine that wearing one means you carry luck with you wherever you go.

Leprechaun legend has it that if you follow a rainbow, you'll stumble upon a glistening pot of gold. With this magic in mind, who knows what can happen when you write, doodle, or draw with one?
Real Four-Leaf Clover Necklace

According to Irish folklore, the four-leaf clover is considered good luck. Though the roots of this superstition aren't clear, the tiny plant is often associated with the ability to see fairies—a dream you can keep close to your heart with this real clover necklace.
Stork Scissors
Ernest Wright & Son | $36.80
Symbolically, a visit from the stork means a new bundle of joy has arrived. On top of this baby-related belief, however, the elegant bird also represents longevity in Chinese culture and purification in the Christian faith.
Ceramic Crystal Mug
EssaraiCeramics | $210
Mystical and mesmerizing crystals are believed to carry positive energy. Though the glistening structures sticking out of this coffee cup are made out of clay, they're still bound to bring a bit of positivity—especially since they're paired with a glimmering galaxy of lucky stars!
Engraved Horseshoe Necklace
ArtribeJewelry | $39.10+
Often seen hanging over the entrance of a home or, more recently, worn as jewelry, horseshoes are believed to bring good luck and protection. Although the lucky emblem has remained popular over centuries, there's still some debate over the proper way to position it. Some believe that a horseshoe with the two ends pointing up (U) collects good luck, while other traditions state that the two ends should point downward so that luck pours onto those who walk through the door.
Maneki-Neko Gold Ceramic Cat
JustALittleLuckShop | $13.92
The maneki-neko is a popular Japanese figurine that is believed to bring good luck and fortune to its owner. Usually made from ceramic or plastic, they depict a Japanese Bobtail cat with its paw raised in a beckoning gesture.
Albatross Mobile
InlandWhaleTours | $109
In ancient times, sailors believed that seeing an albatross flying overhead while at sea was a sign of good luck. Many thought that albatrosses carried the souls of dead mariners, so seeing one flying above meant that they had come to protect living sailors from harm.
Wishbone Necklace
idyllicjewelrydesign | $45+
The wishbone is believed to symbolize good luck, optimism and love. Traditionally, the unbroken wishbone is only the promise of good fortune—when two people pull apart the bone, the person left with the larger piece gets the good luck, or a wish granted.
