Personalized Twisted Red 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 Personalized Twisted Red Chinese Bamboo Chopsticks and (Optional) Handmade 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.
The twist is what people notice first. The upper handle is carved in a spiral, so the red catches the light differently as the pair turns in the hand, and a plain place setting suddenly has something in it worth picking up. Red is the color of luck and celebration at a Chinese wedding table and at Lunar New Year, and a pair of twisted red chopsticks carries that meaning without a word of explanation.
Each pair measures 9.25"L and is engraved in-house by HansonEllis, personalizing gifts since 1999. The two sticks are engraved separately, each with its own line of up to 24 characters, so one stick can carry both names while the other carries the date, or a short line can run across the pair and land on the second stick like a punchline. That is the difference between a favor guests pocket politely and one they read out loud to the table.
Perfect as placeholders for Far Eastern-themed events, the engraved pair does double duty: lay one across each napkin with the guest's name engraved on the upper stick and your place cards, your favors and half your table styling are handled in a single piece. Add the optional handmade Lokta pouch and each pair arrives sheathed in soft handmade paper, ready to hand over as a gift rather than set out as a table item.
They work far beyond the wedding too. 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 home collection. A paper favor is in the recycling by Monday. A red twisted pair with your names on it is in a kitchen drawer for years, pulled out every time there is takeout on the table.
Add your engraving text for each stick above, choose your quantity, and send your guests home with a little good fortune.

Which one should I choose
Shoppers usually weigh a single engraved pair against a two-pair boxed set, or against the throwaway chopsticks the caterer supplies.
| Personalized Twisted Red Chinese Bamboo Chopsticks | Choose them when you need one pair per guest, engraved with individual names so they double as place cards, with an optional handmade Lokta pouch for gifting. |
|---|---|
| A two-pair boxed chopstick set | Choose that when the gift is for a couple or a household rather than a single place setting, and you want a presentation box instead of a table item. |
| Disposable wooden chopsticks | Choose those only for volume feeding; they carry no names, no color and no meaning, and they are in the bin before the speeches finish. |
For a seated Asian-themed event, the twisted red pair earns its place three times over: it seats the guest, thanks the guest and goes home with them.
