Synthetic Plant for Lazy Gardeners



From Think Geek:

In a perfect world, plants would take care of themselves. They would fetch their own water and get their own food. And always, always, remember to ask you if you wanted anything while they were up. But alas, this isn't a perfect world. So, we've done the only thing possible - found an artificial plant. The Flip Flap only needs light to survive - no batteries required. When it has enough light, its leaves will wiggle and bounce in an oddly organic way.

But there is another reason the Flip Flap holds a place in our hearts. One of our fondest memories is playing a "super" game, full of 8-bit wonder and odd creatures. One where two plumbers joined forces with a princess and her little mushroom servant-friend to rid the land of dreams from evil monsters; one where sprouts were frequently pulled up and thrown as weapons. And here on our desks is a little flapping reminder of our past glory. It warms the heart.

Each Flip Flap is approx. 4.5" tall and comes in really cool packaging. The Flip Flap locks and locks in for safe transport. It also comes with a tiny piece of clear plastic, which will let you display a card or sign behind the leaves. Just remember - the Flip Flap is plastic; don't eat it.
