sprout home: green for gifts

April 1st, 2010 | brooklyn, shops

i don’t know about you, but i feel like i could shop year-round and still not necessarily find that perfect present for my mom.  she is very challenging to buy for, and given our other challenges, i always feel it especially important to try and get that perfect whatever.   i am happy to report that sprout home in williamsburg (with another shop in chicago),  has lots of excellent ideas, and with mother’s day around the corner (well – not really, but it does feel like it to me — that pressure to pick well is building, and i will tell you i am so far not surprisingly finding zero in hawaii).  my top favorite items at sprout home are the terrariums.  in all shapes and sizes, sprout’s terrariums had all sorts of cute funky things inside like a pink plastic ballerina or the cowboy above (now that might not appeal to every mother out there) as well as some more classic looking ones.

sprout home also has a really nice selection of interesting flowers, great colors and arrangements. on my visit a few weeks ago, i spotted fritillaries, geraniums, daffodils, muscaris and red peonies.  i didn’t catch the name of the yellow beauties above but i could use a few of those every now and then.  sprout home has a little backyard area with more garden plants — big baby bushes, grasses and trees for those of you with some property, as well as good greens/flowers for planters. they also have seeds galore with a focus it seemed on beans — garbanzos, lentils and the like.

sprout home also has a cute selection of other home items like colorful flower print watering cans, great ceramic pots in beautiful blues, greys and reds,  the pantone mugs i have been ogling over for a while and adorable cardboard birdhouses by kikkerland.  a good spot for mom and me possibly! sprout home: 44 grand street between kent and wythe avenues, brooklyn, new york, .
