Some things are just too cool to ignore. I mean, look at these ceramic Egglings from Elsewares.com. They’re already a growing hit on ThisNext. They look and feel “just like real eggs,” Elsewares says. “Just crack one open, add water, and you’ve created a springtime oasis for your desk or window (even if it’s winter outside). Each comes with a terra cotta tray and seed pack. Growing is EASY — plants thrive for months in their shell and can be replanted in soil.”

Caroline Duke has already added them to her list. So has Scott Sommerville, who says they’re “clean and cool”, and and Audrey A. (aka audshmod) who knows they’re “cute.” Me, I just plan to give this perfect marriage of the natural and the whimsical to everyone I know who could use a little green in their lives.
