So I've gotten myself an Ankh necklace from my local magic store, and they put it in a small container with what seems to be Lavender seeds, said to leave it there for a week to ''purify it''. Seems like mundane superstition to me, but I wanted some second opinions. Is there any purpose to doing this?

I never use /b/ for precisely that reason. I'm never going to change it so long as I never go there.

just sprinkle some water, run it over incense smoke, and call it a day.

NO NO NO.
You MUST MASTURBATE with it on.
You must get close to cumming, just barely there, and then imagine the energy going into the ankh shape that is within you.
That is how you energize it.
Also say Ankh, in a dramatic magicky voice, you wanna feel the sound up your asshole and in your belly.
Do the edging thing about three times.
It will give you the vitality to fight serpents.
I know this only because I'm a freak reincarnation accident.
If you're ignorant of your intentions then no.

You'll feel something, but it ain't sound

I just like ankhs honestly, I might use it as a focus for some meditative practice.

I mostly frequent that wiccan store because it stocks authors I read and some stuff I'm interested in, but I'm sceptical of a lot of modern interpretations of mysticism, especially the kind of neopaganism they practice there.
I remember being there once and the owner (an old lady that looks like a witch) sold a talisman to someone telling them it'll bring them good fortune but that the enchantment only lasts 6 months, and they have to come back and buy another one afterwards, which I found really funny and I pitied the customer. Hey I guess even witches have to get on that hustle.

That's exactly why I've had some hesitation. As an adherent of chaos magick I don't believe it'll have any power I don't project onto it myself, but if I follow the ritual for myself it might have some value. I might follow the procedure for the sake of the ritual itself, in a confucian kind of way.

Well, aside from having horrible taste in symbolism, I can say the answer to your problem here is to start making stuff yourself, or having a close friend make it according to your specific guidelines.
It's honestly not that hard to do, as long as you work with wood and/or soft metals. As a chaote that should be your first instinct anyway.
I.e....
