Gifts for the Feng Shui Aficionado

If someone on your holiday gift giving list is into Feng Shui, you can find the perfect gift for them, even if you don't know or understand much about Feng Shui.

In the most basic of terms, Feng Shui is about creating balance and allowing positive energy to flow through a room through the careful placement of items and types of items. For harmony in the home, pairs of items are favored to bring a sense of togetherness through pairs and are said to end arguments and strife in relationships.

A gift that the Feng Shui lover on your gift list will enjoy will be a set of Acanthus Bookends. They are sold as a pair and are made from resin from a casting from a classic acanthus design. The acanthus is a plant that is found on the shores of the Mediterranean and has elegant leaves. The rolling design of the leaves is repeated in many classic ancient Roman designs. The bookends measure 4"w x 4.5"d x 6.5"h and are finished in a rich brown to compliment any decor.

As these are cast from lighter weight resin as opposed to heavy stone or wood, they can be used on any bookshelf or shelving unit with great results. An original way to present this gift would be to find a pair classic childhood books at a second hand store and include them between the book ends as a fun way to give this gift to your Feng Shui fan. The pair of books continues the harmony and the children's books are thought to bring innocence and acceptance into the room.

Make this holiday special and give a gift that will really strike a cord in the recipient, go a little Feng Shui yourself for the holidays!
