The western world has good luck charms in most cultures. As far as I know, our culture doesn’t have a good luck charm we gift to others that’s spread throughout the people.
There are probably niche communities or families that do tho.
Religious people are sometimes buying talismans with saint (“medalionik”), like with saint Christopher for safe driving or, more generally, with Virgin Mary (in her many versions, but for general purposes). Not really as popular as omamori though.
