@Sumeet It can be given as Gift. Anyways, What is a good gift depends on the receiver.

@CG96 I have never needed lucky charms for anything. But I guess you can try Chrysoprase. I have written a hub on it you can type the name of the gem and my name on the search box to find it. Anyways, I would advice you to utilize the power of the subconscious mind because If anything can bring success it is the right attitude. You may find Dr Joseph Murphy's 'The Power of the Subconscious Mind' useful.

The ideal placement of the Dragon Turtle Feng Shui Symbol would be in the North or East sector of the house. Thanks for the visit.
