If you are always on the lookout for the perfect window sill ‘thing’, I think I have found the solution! These are just too precious and they look good. They’re Egglings – they look and feel like a real egg, but crack it open, add a little water and you get a supercool garden for your window sill. Made of white porous ceramic, each comes with a terracotta tray and seed pack. Plants grow for up to five months in the eggling’s fortified peat mixture, then you can plant them directly in soil.
Ten Egglings are available: three herbs (basil, mint and thyme), three flowers (chrysanthemum, phlox, petunia), and four special edition varieties (lavender, cactus, red pepper, and wild strawberry). It comes well packaged – yes I am one of those who can be won over with great packaging. It’s a delightful gift for the chef, gardener, the kids or anyone who loves the cute and curious. They cost just £6 each from Findmeagift.com
