Custom Twisted Black Chinese Bamboo Chopsticks & (Optional) Handmade Lokta Pouch
_300x278.jpg "Personalized Japanese Wood Chopsticks")
Bring a taste of the Far East to your event with our gorgeous Custom Twisted Black Chinese Bamboo Chopsticks & (Optional) Handmade Lokta Pouch. These twisted red handle chopsticks represent good fortune and prosperity for life. Wish your guests long life, or bring the fortune home for your family or to that someone special. Perfect as placeholders for Far Eastern-themed events, as a lovely gift for someone special, or even as a fantastic indulgence for yourself, these chopstick sets make for wonderful gifts or even a fabulous addition to your own home collection.
What makes them worth putting at every seat is the twist itself. The handle is turned rather than straight, so the pair catches the light from every angle and looks considered on a folded napkin in a way a plain bamboo stick never does. At 9.25"L they are full-size chopsticks meant for eating with, not a token favor that goes straight into a drawer.
Each pair is personalized in-house by HansonEllis, which has been personalizing gifts and celebrations since 1999. There are two sticks and two separate lines to work with, so one can carry the couple's names and the other the date, or one can hold a guest's name and the other a table number, turning the favor into the place card and saving you a whole stationery order. A blessing, a surname, a wedding year, an inside joke: whatever goes on, it stays on.
For a gift that arrives ready to give, the chopsticks can be paired with the optional handmade Lokta pouch, a soft paper pouch made by hand so no two are quite the same. Set a pair at every place setting for a Chinese, Japanese or pan-Asian reception, hand them to guests at a Lunar New Year dinner, or give a single named pair to the person in your life who orders dumplings for the table every time.
They work just as well away from a wedding. A pair engraved for a new home, a pair for a milestone birthday, a pair for the couple who cook together every Sunday: the symbolism of good fortune and long life fits almost every occasion worth marking.
Add your personalization text above, choose your quantity, and wish your guests long life in a way they will still be using next year.

Which one should I choose
Shoppers setting an Asian-themed table are usually choosing between a personalized keepsake pair and something disposable that gets cleared with the plates.
| Custom Twisted Black Chinese Bamboo Chopsticks & (Optional) Handmade Lokta Pouch | Choose them when the favor should carry meaning and names: twisted red handles for good fortune, 9.25"L bamboo, two personalized lines and an optional handmade pouch. |
|---|---|
| The same chopsticks without the Lokta pouch | Choose this when the chopsticks are going straight onto a place setting rather than being handed over as a wrapped gift. |
| Plain disposable chopsticks | Choose them only as tableware; they carry no names, no blessing and nothing anyone keeps. |
For a reception, the personalized pair on the napkin does the work of a favor and a place card at once; add the handmade Lokta pouch when the chopsticks are a gift rather than a table setting.
