Okay…I think we could have used this!
This biodegradable gift wrap is embedded with wildflower seeds so that you PLANT it after you unwrap the gift.
FUN!
The bad news: THEY JUST SOLD OUT OF IT! Bummer. We are too late to the party. I will post when they get it back in stock. (Perhaps it will be available for Valentine's Day.)

Another one of those ideas I wish I’d thought of.
I KNOW! Great idea huh?
But here is something we CAN do…My kids and I make seed embedded cards every Valentines Day. The first few years, we made homemade paper and put the seeds in the paper. But, last year we just attached the seeds to regular paper using white glue. It worked great! I will have to do a post on how to do it.
Never been adventurous enough to make my own paper, but a few years back did buy pine tree seed-embedded paper Christmas trees incorporated into my Christmas cards, along with the history of the Christmas tree. I know of only one person that planted them – with no luck!
Those are lovely and if you’re going to use wrapping paper, these are tons better than most. I can see they’d be sold out.
Cool idea but I’m not to fond of the “wildflower” seeds in products like these. It is a fine line between “wildflower” and annoying weed that some of these manufacturers don’t take into consideration.
I bought a bunch of Zinnia seeds that I’m suppose to use to use in some homemade paper with embedded seeds. I hope I get around to it one day.
Jim-
Even if only one person planted the Christmas Tree seeds, I still think that was a fabulous idea! And at least they read the history of the Christmas Tree.
Mr. Brown Thumb-
EXCELLENT point! I do not see a listing of exactly what the seeds are. That could be a major problem.
When I made my own paper with seeds, the trick was to dry out the paper as fast as possible so that the seeds would not start to sprout before the paper was done! Try to make it on a warm, dry day. I put the papers up in the attic to dry out quickly after making. They were bone dry in just a few hours.
