Work the Bloom

Blooming Grow Cards

Like you really needed another candle on the cake. (Was that dessert not bright enough already?)

Forget one to grow on. You’d much prefer one to actually grow. In other words, a Blooming Grow Card. The biodegradable notes come in four message-color combos (brown for friend, pink for love, yellow for thanks, and blue for birthday).

When you’re done reading your oh so thoughtful message, just bury the card, water, and wait. The paper (made from post-consumer junk mail) eventually breaks down, but the seeds remain. Which means you’ll have a lovely sprout in no time; onlookers will be, well, green with envy.

Of course, you could celebrate your big day with these ecofriendly well wishes and a fire hazard.

But let’s not burn the candle at both ends.
