Pocket-Sized Good Fortune
For those who prefer to carry their luck with them, our mini sachet and amulet kits are perfect. These small, portable charms can be filled with fragrant herbs or personal trinkets and carried in your pocket or purse. Popular designs include:
- Peach: Symbolizing longevity and immortality

Each of these designs carries its own special meaning and cultural significance. The peach, for instance, is a powerful symbol of longevity in Chinese culture, while the lotus holds deep spiritual meaning in many Asian traditions. The vase represents peace and balance, the gourd is traditionally used to ward off evil spirits, and the ancient lock is often given as a token of enduring love and commitment.
Our mini sachet and amulet kits allow you to create these meaningful symbols in exquisite detail, despite their small size. They're perfect for adding a touch of tradition and good fortune to your daily life or for creating thoughtful, personalized gifts for loved ones.
Embroidery as Mindful Practice
Beyond creating beautiful objects, embroidery can be a form of mindfulness practice. The repetitive nature of stitching helps calm the mind and reduce stress. As you work on your fortune charm, you're not just crafting an object – you're also cultivating a positive mindset and focusing your intentions.
Personalize Your Fortune
One of the best aspects of creating your own fortune charms is the ability to personalize them. Add your initials, important dates, or meaningful symbols to make your charm uniquely yours. Our customizable kits give you the freedom to express yourself while still benefiting from our pre-designed patterns.
Perfect for Gifting
Handmade fortune charms make thoughtful and meaningful gifts. Whether it's a housewarming present, a good luck charm for a friend starting a new job, or a special birthday gift, a handcrafted embroidered charm shows care and consideration.
