Key Ring Pet Tree

Just like having the Eden Project in your pocket, only without all the tourists - which would be more than any pair of trousers could stand.

If it's been a while since you've had anything alive in your trousers, other than yourself of course, then you don't know what you're missing. We're not suggesting a fistful of ferrets, or even the fond attentions of a significant other, oh no, we're talking Pet Trees - the latest hot key ring accessory to hit the market since the last one. So the next time someone says 'Is that a tree in your pocket? Or are you just..." you can interrupt them with - 'Don't flatter yourself, it's a tree'..

Yes, miraculous as it may seem, and indeed is, these marvellous mini trees make bonsais look like Lord of the Rings-esque monsters. Coming in two varieties, these tree-meets-cactus things are the closest many of us will ever get to the green belt.



The two trees Victo and Rance, symbolise luck & victory, and unchanging love & courage, and fortunately you don't need green fingers in order to keep them alive. Water them every month or so (it changes depending on the season), and let them sit in the sunshine as much as possible. When they grow to a certain size, you can remove the tree from the bell jar and replant it either indoors or outdoors. Before their giant leap to pastures new however, Pet Trees make for the most original key rings around.
