I, Grobot

The latest in the way of grow-your-own plant kits is a sort of Asimovian take on the Chia Pet that makes a great home or office ornament. With an unlikely pairing of nature and futurism, I, Grobot stands about four inches tall, with its grass head at full growth the hair easily adds another two to three inches of height.

Retailing for less than $13 and guaranteed to ship within three days, it's a whimsical piece that makes for an eccentric gift.
