Cool Gift of the Day

What it is:
A bit of greenery to bring inside. The desktop garden is a wonderful twist on the zen rock gardens that are gaining increasing popularity. These mini backyards include decorative planters and tiny bricks to create the perfect imaginary environment for their afternoon daydreams. With a little water and a few weeks they can pretend they've been whisked away to the gardens of an old English Manor. Okay, maybe not, but they do make a nice desk toy. Perhaps they can play some tiny horseshoes, or have a miniature barbeque.
Why we love it:
Pretty much the only way anyone can use "I have to water my lawn" as an excuse to get out of a meeting.
Who we'd give it to:
Gardeners, coworkers with bare desks, anyone who needs an excuse to get out of a meeting.
Where to get it:
