Default Brilliant pressie for kids!

The toy shop near us sells the Botanical Fairy Garden Kit (girls), and an Enchanted Jungle one (boys). They are sooo brilliant. They have a little mini greenhouse and little metal tools and everything. I bought the fairy one for 6 year old next door neighbour and she's taken to it completely - making her own hanging basket and growing herbs in it as well. Our 5 year old godson lives in an apartment so doesn't have a garden, but can have this kit in his bedroom.

They're really nicely done - not cheapo tacky at all - and make a fab pressie to get kids growing stuff, and doing it all themselves.

Follow this little bunny for more info: (may not work as can't always post links)

Looks good I've added it to my favourites, although I think it'll be better for Christmas or next spring's birthdays.

Ooo that looks fab! It's bub's first birthday next month and I was wondering about getting Master Shortie a pressie so he doesn't feel left out.

Seeing as he keeps asking where his "fly eating" seeds went (aka Venus Flytrap), this could be a good choice

I'll have a proper ose around later
