It is a well-known custom to put a penny for good luck in a wallet that is given to someone as a gift.
Take a look at this classic gift wallet
There is a superstition that more money will be "attracted" to the recipient if they are given a wallet with pennies or other amulets in it. In Chinese tradition, it's three coins with a square hole connected by a red thread. In some European countries, including Poland, such a talisman is a carp shell left over from Christmas Eve dinner. The Irish might put a clover in such a purse - but a five-leafed one. According to ancient belief, it is the five-leaf clover that brings wealth to its owner.
If you break the mirror with your reflection in it, it will affect your fate badly for seven years. Whatever happens to the voodoo doll will also happen to the person it represents. It is better not to step on a cracked surface because it will "crack" something in your life. ....
(European origin).
Although cats were often associated with good luck and were even worshipped as gods in ancient Egypt, things took a bad turn for our dark-coloured furries in the 13th century. It was then that Pope Gregory IX issued a bull declaring them to be "the incarnation of Satan". From then on, black cats found themselves in an unglamorous position, burned in bonfires on holy days such as Carnival, Lent and Easter. They also became a symbol of black magic, an attribute of witches, and a harbinger of inevitable misfortune.

(Indo-European and Celtic origin).
Have you ever tried knocking on wood to ward off evil? This superstition derives from the ancient pagan belief that good spirits lived in trees and could be summoned to help by knocking on their house. Knocking also prevented evil spirits from hearing a person's speech and causing them harm. Depending on the region, this superstition can slightly vary, e.g. in Poland, it is unpainted wood, in Turkey it is knocking twice, and in Latin America, it is knocking on wood that has no legs (not a table, a chair, etc.).
(ancient and Judeo-Christian origin).
This is another way of warding off evil. Since ancient times, the human imagination has personified the right side as just... right, good. Similarly, evil attacked from the inferior left side. This is where bad impulses, wrong decisions and misfortune come from. For centuries, salt has been a difficult to obtain and therefore expensive resource. Making a certain sacrifice by throwing it over one's left shoulder was supposed to prevent greater harm than the loss of a handful of precious spice.
(Celtic origin).
The Celts believed that the four-leaf clover had magical powers and protected against bad luck and evil. It was also believed that carrying it with you would allow you to see the fairies. Celtic fairies were dangerous little creatures who could play deadly tricks or steal children, so being able to see them offered a chance to avoid misfortune. However, finding a four-leaf clover is not so easy, as scientists have (naturally) confirmed. According to a study conducted in Switzerland, the odds are 1 in 5,000 - good luck!
Good luck!
