One more wouldn't hurt. I've taken it off the shelves but feel free to send one more form.
New year's items! Rather than the typical fireworks and alcohol, I decided to make items based on different new year traditions around the world.
Kakizome Kit: In Japan, Kakizome is the first calligraphy written, usually on January 2nd. It is then burned the day after. It is said if the ashes fly high, the writer will have a better hand.
Silverster Lead Spoon: From Wikipedia; "In Germany, a popular Silvester custom is "lead pouring" (das Bleigießen), where molten lead is read like tea leaves. A small amount of lead is melted in a tablespoon and then poured into a bowl or bucket of water. The resulting pattern is interpreted to predict the coming year."
Rose Sash: In Pasadena, California, every new year's day is a parade called the Rose Parade, where the floats are made entirely out of flowers! This tradition from my neck of the woods, and I can personally attest that this is the best smelling parade in the United States.
Rabbit's Foot: The Chinese New Year isn't until later, but the animal this year is the rabbit.
Grape Vine: In Mexico and Spain, it is customary to eat twelve grapes at midnight, one for every month of the year.

At midnight Pacific time and for the rest of the January 1st, you may pick one of the items above, for free! Don't post before then, though. I will ignore you if you do.
Remember, you can only take one, so pick wisely!
