"Green Bean": Japanese Message Beans

And if Herman Miller's Leaf Lamp is out of your price range, how about a Bean? Each message bean, made in Japan, comes inscribed with a message - Love, Thank You, Good Luck, Happy Birthday. You give someone a jar containing the bean. The recipient pulls off the foil top and bottom (to let the water drain), and adds about 1/2 cup of water to the soil. In about a week or so, the bean will poke thru the soil revealing the special message.

Japanese Message Beans available at SpoonSisters.
