Please save me from this pestilence. I can’t handle the aphids and whitefly any longer. Please send ladybugs and parasitic wasps soon.
In desperation,
Andrea

Check out the wonderfully bizarre Vitamin Living, a London-based design studio that makes “extra-ordinary products that make their owners’ lives a little less ordinary.” Like these bone china gnomes with their bold graphics; “the “must-have” gnome for the modern consumer.” !

Or how about the IV Plant Pot, a self-watering container with a medical drip feed. I could totally see that in a doctor’s office. Or my brother-in-law’s apartment.
