Last summer, I had a friend who went to Asia and brought me back a Flip Flap. Generally, I like organic plants sitting at my desk, but this little guy proved to be an exception.

The Flip Flap Plant is a solar-powered synthetic plant that reacts to sunlight. When it soaks up enough sun, the leaves wiggle and bounce, almost like…IT’S ALIVE. And happy. They come in many versions– some with different pots and some even with flowers.
