Hanging Ornaments -- Xiangbao, literally, aroma pouch, is a Chinese lucky charm with a long history.  Also called “Hebao” or “Xiangdai” in ancient times, it is made out of colorful and elegant silk or cloth, and traditionally containing mixed Chinese herb powder, which is believed to expel the evil spirit and wickedness, and to bring auspiciousness and prosperity, turning bad luck to good luck.  It has served as a love token exchanged between lovers and a charm given among friends.  It has been passed down as a work of art, and today, simply a token wishing for better life.  It is an exotic ornament, gracefully articulated in various styles.  With double sided art work, some present mini embroidered clothing and boots; others are in heart shape with the character of happiness on it; still others express wishes for peace at home and safety on the road.  For peace, love and joy, it can be hung on door knobs at home, or on the office wall, or in your car, or simply on the tree for holiday decorations.  It can be attached to anything as you wish, such as music instruments, handbags or backpacks.  An ideal gift for spiritual well being and protection.
