Wind down better this season with a hand-carved  (peach wood talisman) by your bed. Peach wood has been used in Taoist traditions for centuries for its soothing energy, and our artisans select each branch by hand, ensuring only the highest-quality wood makes it into your home. Each talisman is carved with simple, meaningful symbols—some feature the “cloud” motif for peace, others the “lotus” for resilience—and sanded until the wood feels silky-smooth.

Before you turn off the light (and put down your phone!), take 30 seconds to hold it and breathe. Inhale for four counts, exhale for six—let the wood’s warmth seep into your palms. It’s a simple ritual, but it signals to your brain that it’s time to let go of the day’s stress, whether that’s unopened holiday cards, a fight with a family member, or worry about travel delays. A customer in Sydney shared last week: “I used to scroll my phone for hours before bed, stressing about holiday plans. Now I hold my talisman instead. I fall asleep faster, and my dreams feel calmer—even when I’m anxious about flying home.”

Handcrafted talismans don’t have to be “special occasion” items. They’re meant to walk with you through the ordinary (and chaotic) days—making them a little more meaningful, one small moment at a time. And right now, during our 2025 Holiday Sale, all three of these pieces are 15% off with code CALM2025—so you can stock up for yourself and grab early gifts.
