Looking for a gift? One that says, I know Christmas is still 3 months away but just wanted to let you know I was thinking of you? One that also says, you couldn’t keep a plant alive even if you lived in a South East Asian rain forest, so I got you this? Look no further than the DIY succulents kit (2200 yen) from Sol x Sol.  You’ll receive 6 different kinds of succulents that you are free to arrange as you please. Or, you can follow their photo-assisted step-by-step tutorial. And once you are done the plants are super maintenance-free.

And if you find these plants as aesthetically pleasing as I do there is some free wallpaper you can download here (although I must say, the whole desktop wallpaper thing is kind of kaput, no?)

I forgot to mention this last week, but one tidbit before I head into my usual posting schedule. For those of you who aren’t aware, I just wanted to point out that Fast Retailing is certainly living up to their name. Uniqlo has been spewing new product lines like models spew breakfast. Not long after they wrapped up their Jil Sander line, they recently announced a the release of a collection of shoes that range between 2000 yen and 5000 yen. So what’s next handbags? Perfume? Where does it end?
