Houseplants no longer a lame gift

Friends, we are rapidly approaching the "busiest shopping day of the year." That fateful day just after Thanksgiving where many people's minds go completely blank. Here's a great cop-out gift idea for when you just can't think of anything and it's healthy to boot: houseplants.

Plants can go along way to pump up your feng shui, and although they sometimes don't get the credit they deserve, many common houseplants can clean up your indoor air pollution right quick. These plants can clean up household chemicals as nasty as: formaldehyde, benzene, trichloroethylene and even carbon-monoxide. Found in items ranging from attic insulation to wrinkle-free pants, these chemicals can be hanging out in the air you breathe day in and day out, without you ever knowing about it.

So, invest in a friend's health this Christmas, and stop racking your brain about what thoughtful knickknack best sums up your relationship.

Here's a list of 5 of these super-plants:
  • Peace Lily
  • English Ivy
  • Rubber Plant
  • Golden Pothos
  • Ficus
