This was a cute little thing I came across whilst browsing for a different kind of gift for a friend. It’s called an Eggling and basically it’s an egg that’s filled with soil and seeds instead of egg white and yolk.

There’s not much to say about the Eggling really is there. The Egglings aren’t actually made of real egg shell; they’re made from ceramic. This is a good thing because they’ll be more durable and less fragile than your normal egg shell.

Having said that, you do have to crack open the top of the Eggling in order to get at the soil and seeds inside. Then you have to water it and place it in a well light area so that they can grow. How simple is that! I’m guessing even a small child could get to grips with the Egglings.

You have to admit that it’s a pretty unique gift to give to someone who likes gardening. It’s a good gift for anyone who doesn’t like gardening too to be honest. Costing just over £5 you’re hardly going to break the bank are you?

I don’t think there’s anything else I can say about the Eggling really. You’re going to have to get your own to see how much of a joy these can be. You could take the Eggling out of the box before presenting it to your intended recipient to see the confusion on their face. It will definitely be a talking point at any party.
