If that special someone on your list loves house plants but can't quite get the hang of watering, here's the perfect gift--a gadget that lets a plant communicate its needs via the Internet.
That's right, for just $99.99 this handy dandy device allows the plant to communicate when it needs water and, in general, how it's feeling through a Twitter feed. (To see an example of a Twitter feed, click here for mine.)
The Internet-enabled house plant will help the house plant-challenged individual succeed. Heck, you and all your friends can also subscribe to the plant's Twitter feed to see what kind of plant parent your friend is turning out to be.
To add to the fun, this little gadget must be assembled using a soldering iron, solder, needle nosed pliers, small nips, masking tape--and nerves of steel.

With my luck, my plants' twitter feeds would all say "Ahhhhhh!! He's COMING!!!" or "Death to the overlord!!"
Got something to say?
