One of my favorite go-to-presents is a Sola Cube — what is a sola cube? Designed by Koichi Yoshimura, it is a handmade piece of art by Japanese craftsmen that contains a real plant. They make a great touch to a nightstand, or somewhere where you can see the beauty of real nature and think of the plant inside. I especially like the dandelion, a symbol of hope and wishes, that is also a beautiful fluffy round ball.
I first found them at a local Oregon store, New Twist, and think they are the perfect hostess gift. I, myself, don’t have one in my home because every time I get one for myself, I give it away….but I sure love them — so thought I would share with you, all!
