Taking the Plunge

Toilet Tree Decorative Plunger

As interior design trends go, very few are as amusing as toilet-bowl beautification.

Now (thank heaven!) you can finally complete your impressive potty overhaul with a decorative plunger. Called the Toilet Tree, it’s an unclogging device disguised as a plant. The standard-size tool comes with a cover made from recycled green plastic in the shape of lovely indoor greenery. There’s even a bottom tray to maintain the realistic look.

In keeping with true tree-hugging form, the National Arbor Day Foundation will plant a tree in your honor when you buy one. Which makes the plumber’s helper more than just another load of hyper-design crap.

Figuratively speaking.
