A flower growing kit that comes in a tube, and it requires zero skills to grow! That's a nice, safe gifts for anyone. I particularly like the fact it can be given as a great business gift, as well as a personal one. <a target="_blank" href="http://www.uncommongoods.com/item/item.jsp?itemId=15174">Biotech Blooms</a> does not need attention, except to be admired. No water necessary because the biotechnology does the work for you. When the plant reaches the top of the tube, simply transfer to potting soil. $30]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://blog.elfster.com/for-clients/rss-comments-entry-1468130.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>Popcorn Survival Kit</title><dc:creator>Elfster</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 17 Dec 2007 17:46:29 +0000</pubDate><link>http://blog.elfster.com/for-clients/popcorn-survival-kit.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">177543:1757295:1434735</guid><description><![CDATA[<span class="full-image-float-left"><img src="http://blog.elfster.com/storage/popcorn.jpg" alt="popcorn.jpg" title="popcorn.jpg"/></span>When I worked in corporate, I received a tin of popcorn every year, and sometimes two or three tins. Although I've always considered popcorn a "B" gift, I loved receiving them. They're awesome for meetings, or after sundown, when working late to meet deadlines. It's not a "B" gift at all, actually. I think popcorn is a really good gift, especially right now, since I do not have a tin in front of me and wish I did.

It's also the least expensive of the bonsais in the market, so it's a small investment to risk. The funny thing is... This particular bonsai will stay green, even after it dies. I've killed one once and I didn't realize it because it looked so nice and green, though brittle to the touch.
