Why it works

It is on Amazon's most wanted list and is among the cheapest things on it. They are two little potted plants that move when you tap them with a finger. They are quick to build and decorate the desk, so they appeal to a child who would rather have something pretty in their room than a car or a spaceship.

Our verdict

A small gift that is a bit different for a child who takes care of their room. If what they want is to play with what they build, look at a Minecraft set at the same price.

They will like it if

  • they decorate their desk with care
  • they like building but not vehicles
  • you are after a small gift that is not another soft toy

Bear in mind

  • once built they are for looking at, not for playing with
  • the build is over in less than an afternoon

What's in the box

  • 253 pieces
  • Two plants: a delosperma and an echeveria
  • Two interchangeable pots, pale green and pale pink
  • They sway when touched
  • Can be used alone
