Message Bean: Let Your Greetings Grow (Literally)

Here's a unique way of sending your thoughts to your loved ones: give them a Message Bean.


When you give this to your loved one, all he/she has to do is to remove the cover, water and wait for a week to see the message embedded on the bean! Yup, it takes a week before the message bean emerges from the soil -- a great way to get away from the real-time, up-to-the-minute messaging we are all accustomed to in these days of e-mail and instant messaging. The message bean costs $12 each (approximately Php 600).
