The Worm Inn comes in a variety of colors and patterns
and can either hang from a shelf or sit in a stand.

StartupNation, a website by entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs, hosts the annual StartupNation Home-Based 100 Competition to honor outstanding home-based businesses. Ten winners in ten categories (hence 100) are bestowed with all the glamour and prestige that comes with the award: free publicity and lots of it, which to a small business is priceless.

This year, the Greenest category received more applicants than I can bother to click through and ten winners were named:

Fun Photo Guys - Bay Area Wedding Photographers Pleasant Hill, CA 1
Nest St. Louis, MO 2
Nomad Needles, maker of The Worm Inn Boulder, CO 3
TE Studio Minnepolis, MN 4
myFREEoffsets.com Rainier, WA 5
Postgreen Philadelphia, PA 6
Zosimos Botanicals LLC Gaithersburg, MD 7
Dick Pepper Enterprises San Marcos, CA 8
Inn Serendipity Bed & Breakfast Browntown, WI 9
Ragazzi Clothing Company Costa Mesa, CA 10

Boulder-based home business Nomad Needles won third place in the greenest category for her in-home composting solution, the Worm Inn. This invention lets you compost fruits and vegetables, egg shells, coffee grinds and newspaper shreds using a specially made canvas vessel and... a pound of worms.

Surely, the person on your gift-giving list who already has everything, doesn't have THIS.
