egglings @ Red Envelope.I seem to be on a roll with finding unique gardening products this week. Maybe Nature’s telling me to finally get working on that wannabe green thumb. Hey, if it will stop the snow and bring us some sun, I’m totally game. These quaint little egglings caught my eye right away, but their cleverness goes beyond the aesthetic. Handmade in Japan and sold in sets of three, the egglings are ready for you to crack open yourself. Their insides reveal organic soil and ready-to-sprout seeds for mint, petunia and wild strawberry. After they’ve set down roots, you can replant them outdoors, feeling free to leave them in their biodegradable shells. Extra seeds and three mini terracotta trays are provided. As with Karim Rashid’s Grobal, egglings use the symbol of life as their design inspiration, but have a cuter name. Who wouldn’t smile at the mention of “egglings”? This eco-friendly trio would be a perfect gift for Spring.
