Boring greeting cards are a thing of the past. Now, we can bestow our well wishes on one another with Message Beans by Style Meets People, available for $12.50 from the folks at Unica Home. A greeting is etched into a bean seed that is sent to a friend.
When the seed sprouts into an actual bean, the message is imprinted on the bean. The canister the bean arrives in can serve as a plant pot. Available messages: ‘happy birthday’, ‘thank you’, or 'good luck'. We think this cute gift idea is very Charlotte's Web.

My dear friend Alex gave this to me as a housewarming gift and the little thing just grew and grew! The plant literally wrapped itself around the cord of my roman shade and wouldn't let go. It's such a cute idea and you can repot it if you like.

i received one of these as well. my problem was that as the sprout grew it became top heavy and the whole thing fell over and spilled dirt all over the place. :(
cute idea, but they need to work on the execution a bit.
