Thanks to a tip from a reader, I found out about these adorable little planters. Perfect to start up your kitchen window herb garden – with style.
They are called Egglings, from Elsewares. They look like eggs but are actually ceramic. All you have to do is crack it open, add water, and a garden springs up to greet you. Comes with terra cotta tray, as shown.
You can let these precious plants grow in the Egglings for a few months before needing to repot into something larger. Then, simply reuse the egg on something else.
Each Eggling comes with your choice of seed: basil, thyme, lobelia, phlox, petunia, mint
Only $8.95. I would seriously not mind getting this as a gift! :)

If you crack the top of the egg just right and wash the shell out, you can even use it as a starting pot for wee seedlings. How’s that for zero-waste pampering? [...]
