Forget Chia Pet!

Nyokki is the modern girl's answer to the very outre Chia Pet. I mean, okay - Chia Pets were never the hot thing, but being an ugly terra cotta beastie, did it ever really have a chance? Nyokki are egg shaped "pet plants" from Japan, and I am WILD about them. Plastica sells them online (as well as in the store, those of you who live in the LA area), and you can find them at Sprout online as well. They are so cute! The little egg pets are filled with rye grass seeds; sprinkle them with water and set them on a bright windowsill...

They grow super fast...

...and then the fun begins : the HAIRCUTS!

Minion J gives groovy bi-level, asymmetrical do's ala Vidal Sasson, while Minion Z is more of a classical stylist. (since I don't have kids, the Minions are often charged with providing the touch of childish whimsy every household needs) I water them and do maintenance trims ( on the Nyokki, not the Minions).

They are small and charming! Nyokki are the perfect way for those who think they have black thumbs to develop green ones...
