Terrariums are all the rage this year. Although I can hardly pride myself with a green thumb, I'd gladly hop aboard the trend train, especially when the terrarium in question is as crazy as Gessato's Domsai Terrariums. Sure, they're weird, kooky and a little pricey ($140), but who wouldn't want a modern take on the Chia pet keeping them company throughout the day?
Perched on ceramic panted legs, the Domsai Terrarium is the perfect spot to house a cactus or succulent, protected by a tiny hand-blown glass globe atop. Domsai Terrariums are handcrafted in Italy, so that each one is a unique object. The mouth-blown glass covers are created with specific plants in mind, but you'll need to acquire your own flora, as plants are not included.
We can't help but wonder if they'll release a wide-leg pant style in the future. Have you seen any weird designs lately? Tweet us your finds at twitter.com/shelterpop.

A plant is NOT a pet! Nuff said.
ReplyDan, a plant may not be a pet but believe me..there are a lot of people out there who toss their pets away like an old dead plant so they should start with the plant first!

I lost my pet rock. If anyone has seen it here is the description. IT LOOKS LIKE A GRAY ROCK. Any information will be greatly appreciated. We miss the little guy so much, he's part of the family. Please help bring our pet rock home
At first I thought the pictured items were something entirely different. How they can be connected to Chia Pet except very remotely is beyond me. If I had the money to pay for one of those things, I'd certainly spend it on something more important. If not something useful, then several real Chia Pets.
