Plants! They're great to have, I have some bamboo right now. I love it. Here's a really pretty bonsai tree!

And you definitely need a crock pot! They're super handy to have, just throw some food in in the morning and come home to a super easy meal, plus leftovers!

An electric kettle is another essential! Especially if you love tea.

Cheap, cute end tables! I turned the top of mine into a chessboard! Fancy-s up my room a lot.

Here and here are some really nice shelves!

You definitely need a set of knives too!

A really awesome bottle opener!

Here are some really cool glasses.

Aaand the cutest sake set ever.

Okay I'll stop linking now. I just really love household-y things! :D

Thank you for the contest and I hope this list helps!

I nominate my mother. She raised four children, worked low paying jobs with late and long hours, all to give us a good life. She did not go to college herself, but instilled the importance of an education in all of us. Her youngest and oldest (me) kids graduated college together in December.

Growing up, she kept our home clean, instilled in all of us a love of reading and art, cooked wonderful meals, was the best gift giver ever...as a teenager I butted heads with her something awful. Now that I'm grown with kids of my own, she's my best friend, and I hope I can be half the mom she is.

If she wins, I'd like to give her this. She's gotten heavily into gardening, especially bonsai, and I think she'd love to grow one of her own from seed.

u/hbic34 · 2 pointsr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

Not to sound too selfish but I nominate myself =-) Plus the fact my mom passed away over 10 years ago I just gotta.

I am basically a single parent ( Have been living in a different Country from my husband for the last 2 years)

I recently May 28th 2011 had to start my life all over again. It took me several months to get settled into a new apartment in a new Country and get everything situated for my kids so that my husband could send them here to live. In a short period of time I have raised above so many challenges, got my kids to live here, bought a car, started a different job and as of very recently bought my first house ever and I basically did it all on my own. It has been challenging but what made it all worthwhile is knowing I was doing this alone for my kids.

I have 3 wonderful kids Patrick, Linux and Solaris. They are my everything. I am very happy to have gone trough what I have to see that family is all that matters. They didn’t care of the struggle they were just happy that we could be together.


I would really really love this bonsai tree It would be perfect in the new zen bathroom that I am building in my new house.


I heart Mom's!

A bonsai tree honestly seems like your best chance.

You could even start a new hobby with the bonsai. If you want to just purchase one right off, keep in mind the cheaper ones won't be the prettiest. It seems with bonsai, you really do get what you pay for. Here's a great and cheap one on ebay that looks like it might be great for the birdies

So ya, take a look online. Also look around local stores like nurseries and home improvement stores. I know most asian gift shops tend to have bonsai trees too, so you can even see exactly what you'd be getting in person.


Edits with some fun ideas for bonsai trees:

Here's a cool little tire swing! You could definitely put some toys on the tree, then
This tree seems great!

Same with this one

A little trimming, if you're brave enough, and this may be excellent

And another the parrots could hide in without harming the tree or being uncomfortable to your babies

u/music_maker · 2 pointsr/Bonsai

I'm more optimistic than most when it comes to growing bonsai from very early stages, but the truth is most people with less than 10 years of bonsai experience have practically zero chance of succeeding in creating a bonsai from seed. And those with 10 years or more rarely go down that path because of the time it takes to do it right (typically 20-30 years).

I think a lot of newbies think of bonsai from seed as "plant a seed in a bonsai pot and watch it turn into one", a huge misconception that is encouraged by crap like this. I think this is the misconception that the folks here often rail against. This pretty much just won't work.

Even adamant seed deniers like small_trunks would admit that one can, in fact, produce bonsai from seed if you plant many seeds to account for failures, and grow them in the ground for 10-15 years with proper technique along the way (grow, chop, grow, chop, etc). But most folks just aren't up for this kind of project, so it tends to get discouraged.

I have all kinds of experiments going with seedlings that sprouted up in my yard naturally (technically from seed even though I didn't plant them). There's probably not a single one that will be in a bonsai pot in less than 10 years, and most will take longer. Many may not even make it that far, although I have high hopes for at least a few of them.

So while I agree that hun technically made a broad and incorrect statement, in actual practice it was pretty accurate.

u/VeganMinecraft · 2 pointsr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

Wow, that blows.

It's understandable that you still have feelings for him. He hurt you though, and the only guys who are really worth crying over are the ones that never make you cry ;]

Get with some of your friends, talk about it. Hang out with them and if they are good friends, they will make you feel better.

Do not initiate anything more with him though if he comes crawling back to you. He blew it with you, really harshly too, and for that he should not get a second chance. I normally would say to give people a second chance if the other person was just confused, finding them-self, or having a really hard time with something else going on, but the way he degraded you isn't worthy of that.

To maybe ease some feelings of resentment and calm your still deep feelings for him, simply let it all go, breathe, and be happy that he may have found someone else who he connects more with. True love after all is about letting someone go when they wish. (though he was rather an a$$ about it)

But you're single now, it might be a nice change of pace to go out and look at the positives. You only have to worry about your only troubles now. You aren't tied down by someone else's. You can do more of the things you want to do! Go, go, hang with your gal friends =3 Move on, live on :).

Flowery plant!

Mischief Managed


I wanted to use things that were already on my list to make it a little more interesting...it was difficult and some of the things might be a reach, but it was definitely fun :)


  1. I wonder if there's any wine out there that is made out of, or tastes similar to, Beetlejuice?


  2. I'd imagine this cherry tree wouldn't require any rakes or brooms when dealing with the leaves.


  3. Cowboy boots makes me think of cowboys and their hats. (They are also Christmas ornaments, which makes me think of Santa with his big red suit and hat)


  4. I've always been a fan of picture books


  5. I bet this metal detector could find so much stuff you'd need something huge to store it in, like a chest or a trunk or something.


    BONUS: I've just really always liked the way Cartman could pull off the cape look

  1. When I was about 20, my best friends parents had divorced. Her dad moved about 2 hours away. He took her horse with him to his new home with a huge barn. He invested heavily in horses. He bought some studs and beautiful mares. He even bought some geldings for western pleasure and halter shows. When we visited her dad, the barn was full of horses. There were stable hands there day in and day out to turn the horses out, groom and feed. We thought her horse was in great hands. About 6 months later I was asked to drive down there and pick up her horse because she had not been able to visit in long time and thought it would be best if her horse was where she lived. When I arrived at the barn, all the stable hands were gone. The horses were in stalls that had not been cleaned in weeks/months. The only thing they had to eat was green hay, no feed.
    I was devastated as I loaded her horse up (now skinny and all bones). I had room for one more horse, so I loaded the skinniest, boniest, horse I had ever seen. 6 months before he was one of the best looking horses and now he was a bag of bones. (There was no one there to tell me if it was okay to take him, I just took him)
    I took him home and basically hid him from my friends family. I called animal control and reported him. At the time I knew someone who had kids so I gave him the horse after he gained weight and became healthy again. The kids loved this horse. The horse loved the kids.
    That was over 10 years ago. A few months back I ran into the guy who took the horse. He said his kids had all moved away and were attending college but he still had that horse and would til the day he died. He is feed 2x a day, petted and groomed every morning and is one of the easiest going horses.
    Never felt so good to be a horse thief!!
    (I'm going to have to look through my photos to find a picture of this old boy :) 0

  2. Squash, zucchini, potatoes, and tomatoes thin sliced and baked. Yum!

  3. This would make my week!

Dope ass bonsai trees. Not even joking I bought 2 and for like 10 bucks each I think and they're awesome.

http://imgur.com/J11Irxj
http://imgur.com/8p7uVH1


EDIT: for more info

I bought them here turns out there 13 bucks plus 5.50 for shipping. Also note the pots types vary and I don't think there is a for sure way to tell which one you'll get. A you can see in the photos, one of mine is a clay and very shiny and smooth pot, while the other is just a black plastic pot.

It comes with a little card that tells you when to water them. I water them once every two days and just keep them on my windowsills. Iirc they do come with fertilizer but I could be wrong. Mine have survived since last September. They do survive in the cold. The plant itself is about as tall as a small coke can.

Tbh I wouldn't be surprised if it was actually just a stick stuck in the dirt and not an actual live plant. It feels real and I love it so I don't really care. Would recommend 10/10

Although it looks like the quality varies alot from the pics on amazon. The ones that come in the clay pots are really good and the ones that come in plastic are garbage in comparison. I guess I got lucky.

u/RGbrobot · 1 pointr/Bonsai

Hey folks! I was recently gifted a Juniper bonsai for my birthday. I love it, and can't wait to care for it. I was hoping to use it to add some greenery to my desk at work. (also my cat seems to really enjoy playing with the little man and his fishing pole, so I have to get it out of the house)

Questions:

  1. Light: I have an incandescent/compact florescent (can't remember which) lamp at work. My desk (adjustable) is usually anywhere from 1.5-3 feet from that lamp. would this be a good place for the tree
  2. soil: I received this directly from amazon, so is there an immediate need to change the soil
  3. Moss: When i water the soil, it lifts and pours over the side into the dish I've placed under the pot it's in. how can I "plant" moss to have better erosion control?

    ​

    thanks!
u/Fruition_Factory · 1 pointr/Bonsai

I can't tell if your being serious here. JPN are the most stereotypical bonsai on the planet, obviously you have to be aware of that. Just type it into google. The first entire page of results.

1: Probably the bonsai most often seen by people are the juniper procumbens nana. They are commonly sold in malls, supermarkets, and department stores

2:When we think of a traditional bonsai and what it should look like, we think of a "Juniper Procumbens Nana."

3:Juniper Procumbens, aka Japanese Juniper, are what most people picture when they think of bonsai. This document is meant to describe them.

4: Juniperus procumbens 'Nana' is strongly indentified with the art of bonsai. ... of the trunk and branches captures the essence of bonsai

5: This dwarf Juniper from Japan is the most popular evergreen in the U.S. When we think of a traditional bonsai and what it should look like, we think of a Juniperus procumbens 'Nana'


I could go on for pages and pages but clearly you must see why i am having a hard time telling if your serious, just trying to get a rise, or are truly inexperienced, which isn't a bad thing, but if your inexperienced i would have thought you would have at least done a google search before making such a bold & incorrect statement like that.

u/-music_maker- · 1 pointr/Bonsai

This stuff.

I don't typically use the latex type for big cuts like this any more. It's often better than nothing, but I find for big cuts, the latex type paste that you smear on tends to be a little too permanent for my liking, and the tree heals a bit differently than I prefer.

The clay stuff is easier to adjust as the tree heals, and to scrape off once it's done it's job. Also, the callous growth tend to nicely roll over into the cut the way they're supposed to when you use the clay.

I've heard of some people using vasoline for conifers, so that may be another alternative for you that's easier to obtain on short notice.

u/samk19 · 1 pointr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

This year, I want to find joy in all the little things, and this bird house would be such a nice addition to my house, so I can watch the little bird families. I also want to get into more hobbies this year, such as painting and caring for plants.

Happy New Year everyone!

Hi Everyone!

I got this dwarf jade as a Christmas present and I am coming to reddit in hopes to get a more specific diagnosis.


Watering -
I had been keeping a steady watering schedule up until the summer began (A full soaking every 2-3 days). After the summer ramped up I dropped down to watering probably once a week with the same thorough soaking. When the leaves started dropping I became more conscious of my watering schedule so I began watering an average of about twice a week. I still feel like It was underwatered and especially for the spring/summer.


Sunlight-
It was on my kitchen table in a room with a lot of natural light. The tree probably gets about 3 or 4 hours of direct sunlight a day. I am realizing this could be a contributing factor to its progress as these require three times that amount of sunlight (dohh).


Temperature-
Our house was always kept above 60 degrees. sometimes I would bring my plant outside for some direct sunlight in the mornings and it might have experienced hotter temperatures then.


Recent details -
By August the tree had no more leaves on it and the branches had just started to whither. I thought there had been some damage/rot in the root system since it was shedding its long appendages and the roots weren't strong enough to sustain its furthest branches. I re-potted the tree for inspection with a plane-jane bonsai soil. The roots looked healthy. Nothing smelled moldy and nothing was rotting. The roots looked tan/khaki-ish. I also began giving it plant food (https://www.amazon.com/Bonsai-Exclusively-New-England-Gardens/dp/B072BQQWNQ) {Is it okay to post links like this?}. I was worried it needed some plant food since I had missed feeding it in the spring. I also pruned the longest branches back and put it next to a window that gets about 8 hours of light.


The picture is of my plant today. Still no leaves and the branches are withering away. I pinched the trunk and it still feels solid. There was a little squish to it but I think the tree has always been this way.


I watered it this morning and realized I need some more direct help. Any feedback would be appreciated but I fear I'm too late.

Amazon bonsai tree

u/GrampaMoses · 1 pointr/Bonsai

Oh sure, I agree with you. I've got lots of seedlings too. I just don't think it's a good way to start. I do think those seed kits are a gimmick because they don't come with enough seeds, but growing from seed or sapling is fine if you have other trees or nursery stock to work on.

The thing is that I'm trying to give a suggestion to someone that wants to start learning bonsai. Bonsai is pruning and wiring, not growing from a seed, that's basic horticulture and someone who only has a seed kit won't practice any actual bonsai techniques for many years. Better to start with nursery stock or inexpensive prebonsai.

u/ReisaD · 1 pointr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

Honestly? This Desert Rose would mean a lot to me. I can't have pets where I am, I have been called Rose a lot in my life, it's so pretty, PLUS YOU COULD GIFT SOMEONE WITH THE REST OF THE MONEY! It would mean a lot to me to give this plant a home.

u/ChristGuard · 1 pointr/Bonsai

Hey guy's, I got this Juniper Bonsai for Christmas from amazon (Here is the exact product ordered) Apparently it is 3 years old, and I LOVE IT! I have always wanted to get into bonsai and have tried cultivating seeds (failed miserably) so my wife got me this. My office is indoors with no windows, so I bought a grow lamp to take care of it (seen in the imgur pics linked above). But now I don't know what to do. I have the book "Indoor Bonsai for Beginners" by Werner M Busch, but it does not talk at all about Junipers (it has nearly 100 other kinds of trees though). What should I do from here? Shape it with wire? Prune it? Cry softly through the night because I feel so overwhelmed an intimidated by a tiny potted tree? I would definitely like to shape it, but not sure if I should wire it, prune it, or both... Thanks in advance!

u/PermanentAtmosphere · 2 pointsr/succulents

Oh, yes! Sorry, I meant to post a link to the lava pebbles as well but forgot! I like the lava because it's porous and allows the soil underneath to "breath" and doesn't keep the soil wet for as long as regular pebbles do, for example. They also make the plant's colors really pop!

Pine bark fines are a specific thing. It's not "fine pine bark".
"Fines" refers to small particle size, i.e. it's not big chunks of shredded bark like for mulch, it's in smaller pieces.

u/Jestersimon · 1 pointr/Bonsai

About a month ago. Someone posted this over in /r/TheCheapestOfAmazon and I was intrigued. (Don't worry, I didn't end up buying it.) I really like horticulture, and I've got a lot of houseplants, and bonsai really intrigued me, and wormed its way into my brain.

I've been doing a lot of research since then, and lurking in this subreddit. I don't own any trees yet, and quite frankly, I'm not sure I'll be able to get into it. There are lots of limiting factors (I live in Newfoundland, Canada, and the winters here are seriously harsh. I live in a fairly small apartment with nearly no outdoor space to use -- basically a balcony just barely big enough for a barbecue. I live in a small city that definitely doesn't have a bonsai club.)

This is the first comment I've made here.

u/borntoperform · 1 pointr/Bonsai

I was given this tree, this soil, and these pellets for my birthday recently. I live 10 feet away from a window at work and the idea was to keep the tree either next to my desk or on the window sill where it will be facing the east and be in sunlight from sunrise to about 3/4pm every day.

I have no idea how to get started, absolute no idea. This is what the tree looks like.
