A Daruma is a traditional Japanese wishing doll that helps us to achieve our dreams and aspirations.

Here’s how it works: First, think of something special you wish to achieve. Next, draw or paint one of your Daruma doll’s blank eyes. Place Daruma someplace visible, so that while he focuses on your objective, you’ll be reminded to do the same. Once your goal is realized, signify your accomplishment by drawing Daruma’s other eye. Congratulations!

Wedding bells are ringing! You’ve picked out the perfect dress, the best tuxedo, impeccable food and wine – but don’t forget the thank you gifts! Give your guests something both meaningful and memorable to take home from your wedding. Our adorable White Mini Darumas come with a heart painted on the back, the perfect place to inscribe you and your beloved’s names, along with the date of your big day.

Available in sets of 25, White Mini Darumas are the ideal wedding keepsake and symbol of your love. Your guests will also appreciate Daruma’s positive message of persistence and motivation.

Daruma is closely associated with a beloved Japanese proverb, nana korobi yaoki, which states, “Fall down seven times, get up eight”. The Daruma doll’s unique rounded shape allows it to return to its original position even if knocked over, representing such persistence. Daruma reminds us all to never give up on our dreams.
