Log on and save your plants

Anyone who has ever unwittingly killed a houseplant will know instantly why this is a brilliant idea.

It’s a log-shaped plant pot with a built-in reservoir, that slowly feeds your plant without it getting waterlogged. When the plant needs more water, the friendly little squirrel peeking out of the side disappears from view. Then you simply pour more water into the side shoot, and he reappears again.

The Log and Squirrel Magical Plant Pot is available from one of my favourite websites, http://www.flamingogifts.co.uk. It’s usually £24.99, but as they’ve got 20% off at the moment, it’s currently £19.99. As the lovely Laura who runs the site says, it’s the perfect housewarming present!
