I, Grobot by Jacob Resneck

071106-igrobot.jpgigrobot2.jpg

The latest in the way of grow-your-own plant kits is a sort of Asimovian take on the Chia Pet that makes a great home or office ornament. With an unlikely pairing of nature and futurism, I, Grobot stands about four inches tall, with its grass head at full growth the hair easily adds another two to three inches of height.

Retailing for less than $13 and guaranteed to ship within three days, it's a whimsical piece that makes for an eccentric gift.

Four-Leaf Clover Necklace
Made from a real clover painted with copper and then dipped in 24 karat gold, the Four-Leaf Clover Necklace by Little Yellow Girl is the latest item of jewelry we've found that elevates something common to finery. I love the idea of wearing actual plant-life encased in gold around my neck. With its recently reduced price of $52, the necklace makes for a beautiful...
