**
The Week That Keeps On Giving: Wine.Woot Gift Week December 1-8**
No worries, Santa. Wine.Woot has been very, very nice this year. Whether it’s helping set the record for the most Internet wine sales in one day, rolling out new original wines on the Woot Cellars label, or just featuring two great winery-direct deals every week, Wine.Woot has earned something nice in its stocking. But instead, we’re giving our members a gift: the second annual edition of Gift Week, this December 1-8. Departing from the usual schedule, Gift Week will see Wine.Woot offering two deals per day, one at midnight Central time and one at noon. And as we all saw last year (Bonsai!!) some of the Gift Week offerings are not wine. So even residents of those states with backwards, archaic shipping laws will be able to participate. Join the fun, Utah!

I love the “peep” in the expanded picture!
NO, this will not live inside.
Gifting a bonsai is a tricky issue. Only give it to somebody who will take the initiative to do a bunch of reading and take care not to fiddle with the tree.
Includes definition, history, techniques, gallery, monthly surveys, forum, books, FAQ and more.
Okay, this is cute, but gotta pass. I’d be the only one in my circle of friends and family who would be interested, and I kill bonsai.
Very sad.

got this as a gift for my mom last year. Survived fine in the box it came in for the couple weeks before she opened it. However, despite her skill at gardening and growing plants, the tree is almost dead now. They are apparently fairly hard to take care of. Looked pretty cool, though, while it lasted.
I think he and I are either tied or I’m up one. Game on, Florida boy…
attempting~ attempting~ SOLD
so this would not make a good gift for my desk which does not get direct sunlight?
My mom still has hers from last year as well - constant watering aside, the tree is looking quite well for being an indoor plant in NJ. It hasn’t grown much - between a half-inch and an inch, I’d estimate - but still, it made a good xmas gift last year.

Maybe a little Oregon herb plant, but not this.
If it was six years old last year, and it has been living at Woot for a year, shouldn’t it be seven years old now?
yeah… i got it the last time… poor thing never stood a chance…

So WD, are the rest of the “gifts” this week going to be as non-wine related as this?
