We can see some of the New Year lucky items everywhere this time of the year.
Kadomatsu
Kadomatsu is a pair of pine tree decoration displayed on the gate or entrance of most of Japanese houses and buildings from the end of a year through 7th of January. It is thought Oshogatsu time is over around 7th.

Kagamimochi
Kagamimochi is made from rice cake, and looks like a Snowman. Displayed on Tokonoma (display place in tatami room) or Kamidana (altar in house) from the end of the year through the day of Kagamibiraki (braking Kagamimochi to eat). Kagamibiraki is on 11th of January in Tokyo area, but I think its custom is different in each area.
