I love little funky things for the car and there is a car local to me that always seems to have new and different things in and I always have to have a nosy! One afternoon I was driving past and I noticed a little flower on the dashboard that was "dancing" and I thought it was so cute I just had to have one! As soon as I got home I logged straight onto Ebay and found the range of little flowers. The Flip Flap Solar Flower is a plastic flower in its own little flowerpot. The pot is quite chunky in size and comes in a range of colours. At the top of the pot you will see the solar panel which makes the flower move. Coming out of the pot is the flower ...  Read the complete review

I've reviewed several house plants and garden shrubs over the years. They all have in common that they're easy to care for and don't make any trouble even if I occasionally forget to water them. I've always mentioned this in my reviews and have always received at least one comment by someone whose relationship with plants is so disturbed that they think they'd kill this plant off, too, because all plants die on them sooner or later. There is help! You don't have to take your hard earned money to a psychiatrist to find out what's wrong with you. You can find comfort on the internet from 3.90 Euro upwards plus 4 Euro for postage. I'm talking about the solar ...  Read the complete review

I have never been very good with houseplants; maybe it is because my mum and dad split up when I was a kid and my dad said to me "look after my plants" as he went out the back door, I guess I'll never know. I looked after those plants to the best of my abilities but they slowly faded away on me, much like his weekly visits. I have to admit that I found the idea of friendly little solar powered plants rather interesting, so when my Step-Daughter brought one for herself I quietly admired it. With its plastic red tub and cheerful yellow flower that looked a bit like a daisy and luscious green foliage. It looked low maintenance, and that appealed to ...  Read the complete review

As soon as I read a review about flip flap flowers and saw them on Amazon I had to buy one. I now have my flip flap flower sitting on my desk at work cheerily flapping around in the sunlight and generally brightening up my day. I ordered my flip flap flower from Amazon and upon beholding the joy of these happy little creatures I immediately wanted more. Flip Flap flowers are novelty toys. They are plastic solar powered plants. When the light hits the solar panel the flower will bob left and right and the little green leaves will flap up and down. I ordered one with a lime green pot from Amazon for £6.20. ...  Read the complete review

I remember a couple of years ago walking past Fred Perry, or Ted Baker...one of the fancy shops on Bridlesmith Gate in Nottingham and seeing a window display absolutely filled with these - all flapping away from side to side and it looked hilarious. I decided I wanted one for my kitchen window, but I had no idea where to get them from. Not long after this they started to pop up in shops and on the internet, they range between £3 and £6 depending on where you buy them from. I ended up getting mine from a market stall at an even I went to once weekend for £3 - which I thought was a bargain. They come in a wide range of colours to suit everyones ...  Read the complete review
