Olly Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Went to a friend's last night, and she had a present her sister had brought back from New York. It was an eggling! These are so - and what a great present for someone who doesn't want, or can't eat, chocolate. I'm going to order a few I think, just got time to get them delivered before Easter!

craftyhunnypie Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Very cute! Reminds me of the days when we used to grow cress in empty egg shells! Can just picture a row of egglings in my kitchen window! A nice idea & some easter eggs are more than the price of an eggling!

Sunshine Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 We have the basil ones where i volunteer in Wishes i keep thinking i should get one to sit on the window sill. I love all the other designs as well though. Emma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 They used to sell these at Joe Browns and I once sent a link to James, suggesting that they sold them in the Omlet shop... you can guess the rest... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted March 13, 2008 Author Share Posted March 13, 2008 What a shame - they'd be brilliant! I now see you can get them on Amazon, Johnlewis.com etc - quite a range of places, so I am going to settle down and order some this lunchtime. Choccy eggs are so expensive (compared to the actual weight of chocolate) and have so much packaging. My sister is diabetic, and as she's doing lunch on Easter Sunday I'm going to get her one of these instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paola Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 I think they were huge in Japan when they first came out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 I had one of these, but I think mine was mislabled as it was supposed to be a petunia-but it didn't grow into one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 ordered some yesterday - one for mum, sister & me. I can sit mine in the office ( yet another executive toy) Remember those sea monkey things? Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubereglu Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Ooh, good plan-especially as I can't exactly eat anything really hard, like chocolate, a.t the minute due to my braces Well, unless it's in hot chocolate form that is!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
