It is commonly believed that Feng Shui gifts if presented to someone brings happiness to the receiver. The principle that underlies the concept of Feng Shui is that you can live in harmony with the environment only when the energy surrounding you works in your favor and not against you. For a baby who has just arrived in this world, nothing can be a better gift than "positive energy." Feng Shui calls this positive energy as "positive Chi." Here are certain unique Feng Shui gift items that can be presented to a baby on its arrival or first birthday.
Following are certain such unique asian-inspired gift items that can be presented to a baby on its arrival or first birthday:

o A very famous product is the "dragon". It is a powerful symbol of energy, strength and protection.
o Scented baby pillows are the best gift as they are adorned with the 'Chinese endless knot' that is a symbol of longevity and ensures long life, positive energy and vitality for the child.
o A Coin Globe can be hung from a door knob. It serves the decorative purpose and also brings in prosperity.
o Another beautiful gift can be a Jade Pendant with a Chinese Knot. This is excellent to ensure protection and good luck for the new arrival.
o There is yet another special product called the 'Fu Dogs'. A pair of these ensures protection and should be placed on either side of the front door.

The Pug...Here's To Its Health, Happiness, and History
The origin of the pug predates Christ
These days anyone who knows dog breeds knows that the Pug has its origins in China, at least 400BC. Some scholars date this prized possession of the Emperors as far back as 700BC. Treasures, like pearls, jade, rare animals or dogs were considered imperial property. There were three types of short nosed dogs that were bred by the Chinese. The three dogs that were always protected by the guards were the Lion Dog, the Pekingese, and the Lo-sze or “Foo Dog,” the name for the ancient Pug. Anyone caught abusing or trying to steal them would pay with their life.
When the trade routes opened up, the “Foo” became a prize for the Dutch. From Holland this adorable little dog made its way to England. That is where the more refined Pug that is bred today got its beginnings. Monarchs and royalty throughout Europe, even to this day, considered the Pug one of their favorite breeds of dogs. It’s unmistakable features have graced many famous paintings. Most notably, the black Pug in William Hogarth's painting “House of Cards." Hogarth owned many pugs and often used them as subjects in his paintings.
The pug was not recognized by the American Kennel Club until 1885, and until the turn of the century was a very popular breed. Its popularity waned, until in 1931 The Pug Dog Club of America was founded. The pug has enjoyed a some what steady growth since than. It is still one of the top choices for most discernable dog fanciers. Congratulations on your curiosity or love for this happy little breed, that indecently, has a different name depending what country you’re in. For example Mops in Germany and Holland, Mopsi in Finland, Carline in France, and Doguillo in Spain, just to name a few.

General Health Information
Pugs Are A Healthy Breed
Keep in mind that your vet is the only real source of any health issues your dog might face. However, if you a considering or perhaps just got a pug, there are a few things you should know. As already stated, pugs tend to be quite healthy. Perhaps the most common problem is obesity. Given the chance your pug will eat until it bursts, and than give that look of being starved. You should base its eating habits on its size and not its appetite. That cute pushed in face can cause breathing problems, especially in high heat and humidity. These are the common health concerns. I am sure that your vet will fill you in on what to expect as your pet grows older.
