Pet The Simpsons - Homer with Seed Pack, Decorative Pottery Planter, Easy to Do and Fun to Grow, Novelty Gift, Perfect for Any Occasion

Bought it for my 12 year old grandson. He loves it.

Idea was fun but hard for the seeds to stick on the vertical wall

Dad loved this gift!

Our family got a lot of laughs watching it grow.

Confession: I've never been a Chia pet guy; they always came across as little more than tacky novelty gifts to me. But I'll admit, when fused with a Simpsons meme I'm particularly fond of, I finally pulled the trigger, and I'm glad I did! It's a funny concept that gets compliments every time I have friends over. The only gripe I can make is that the paint job on Homer is a little rough around the edges, but it's not particularly noticeable and I suppose you could repaint it if you wanted. Also, I will caution you that starting watering too soon will make your Chia seeds fall off! The instructions say two days, but I recommend about three to allow them to dry completely before you initiate the growing process. Additionally, keep it near a place with good air flow because mold loves to get its nasty little spores on Chia plants. Follow these tips, and you'll have a brilliant recreation of everyone's favorite "leaving the party when no one's looking" meme!
