1. Self Watering Animal Planters

“I just couldn’t resist these ridiculous little self watering planters,” says online editor Lindi Brownell Meiring. “They come in a set of four – a rabbit, a panda, a pig and a cat.”

3. Electree by Vivien Muller

A solar cellphone charger caught copy editor Kay-Ann van Rooyen’s eye. The Electree is a bonsai sculpture with small photovoltaic panels at the tip of the branches that capture sunlight and store the power in a battery under the panel at the foot of the tree. It’s designed by French industrial designer Vivien Muller.

4. Colouring Notebooks

“I am obsessed with notebooks and colouring in books, so combining the two is definitely a win-win,” says features editor Tracy Greenwood.
