Ever heard of a grass armchair? Well you have now and they can make the most wonderfully unique gift.
Presentfinder retail it for £65 ($104). Fun, functional, useful, eco friendly and something your friends will undoubtedly comment on. Made from a reinforced cardboard skeleton you simply fill with soil and sow grass seeds over it. You do need to keep sufficiently watered during arid periods. When the grass has matured your end result should give you a fantastic seat in the middle of your garden.
The chair measures 1.25m (49 inches) x 1.25m (49inches) x 0.6m (23inches) high.
A wonderfully original gift for Christmas, birthdays or wedding gifts.
Marriage is a great institution and a wonderfully rewarding period in ones life. But we all know that there are times when you need to let off steam after a fracas. Whether you go down to the gym and pump some iron or knock one out, it doesn’t matter, you’re still trying to achieve the same result.
It was with this in mind that I wanted to try and come up with the ideal gadget gift for Bride Grooms or even Brides, that would relieve some emotional pressure without expending serious amounts of physical effort. The Hydrogen Fuel Rocket does all of this! This baby should be the staple of every married persons survival kit. Boom and your worries are taken care of!
The Gadget Shop are currently marketing this product for around £50 ($75) and say:

Ok, so a coffee table may not sound iconic but this beautiful piece from Conran really would make a stunning wedding gift. At £1,650 ($2,700) you’re gonna need deep pockets but it simply wouldn’t fail to impress.
Here’s how Conran’s describe it:
“Designed by Terence Conran and exclusive to The Conran Shop, this striking coffee table is topped with patinated and waxed zinc. Its solid ash legs incorporate shelves, providing an attractive, hard-wearing and useful piece of furniture. Note that zinc marks very easily on contact with liquids, giving it its unique patina over time.”
It’s not often that you’ll hear me suggesting a tap as a gift. In fact you’ll probably never hear me suggest it again. But this idea from Equa System could break the mould a little.
Quite simply the idea is to have different colour streams related to the temperature of the water emanating from the tap. How do they do it. Simple - a little LED in the tap head illuminates the water a particular colour depending on how hot it is. Absolute genius!
Why would I suggest this as a gift? Quite simply because I have burnt myself so many times putting my hand under boiling hot water, or getting into a bath that’s to hot, or stepping into a scalding shower. This to some degree resolves the problem. Quite frankly I would have loved a couple of these as a wedding present. How original can you get, and how much safer for you and your children?

So in a similar vein we spotted the “buy a piece of the moon” gift and thought umm that’s a pretty original idea too.
According to lastminute.com “they will sell you an acre of prime moon real estate for £20 - Buy one get one free - Offer ends soon.”
