Love Those TIckleMe Plants

My grandparents had one of these TickleMe Plants when I was a kid and I thought it was the best thing ever! I had totally forgotten about it. What a nice stroll down memory lane and a great idea for my grandmother and the holidays! I just ordered the TickleMe Plant greenhouse. I never realized the plant has cotton candy like pink flowers that the TickleMe Plant Company shows on line.

Ever Grow A Plant That MOVES When You TICKLE IT?

A great green low cost gift that will make everyone smile is to grow a TickleMe Plant and watch it MOVE when Tickled! The leaves quickly fold and even the branches droop when tickled. I found this to be a great stress reliever in my office and what a conversation piece!. You may have seen the TickleMe Plant in the botanical gardens.. Now it can be grown indoors year round.

No green thumb needed. I found it on line at http://www.ticklemeplant.com

gift of compassion

what about something even simpler, like making a charitable donation to an animal or environmental protection org in honor of your loved one? Some groups are even offering small gifts for the holidays, like Compassion Over Killing (COK), in DC: If you donate $100 to COK, they'll send out a holiday note card & a box of vegan chocolate (from Sjaak's Organic Chocolates, which is also fair-trade!) to your loved one. It's perfect for so many of my closest friends. www.COK.net
