Everyone likes a bit of greenery in their home or workplace. The problem is most houseplants need constant TLC in order to survive. But even if you've got green fingers and the touch of Titchmarsh, you can bet your watering can your plants won't wiggle about like Flip Flap Q's.

Flip Flap Q

Solar powered

These impossibly cute solar-powered gizmos are destined to become the artificial pot plants of choice for style-savvy photosynthesis fans the world over, as they require zero maintenance. (Just think, no more chucking cold tea on your dehydrated daffs whilst frantically Googling around for Charlie Dimmock's tips).

Flip Flap Q
Even more impressive is the fact that these hi-tech indoor plants move and jiggle when exposed to light - the more light (real or artificial) they get, the more they move. And you won't need a single battery because the movement is 100% solar-powered. Brilliant, eh?

Flip Flap Q

Portable

Standing only 9cm tall, Flip Flap Q's are supremely portable, so you can take yours wherever you may roam and brighten up any room in an instant.

These miniature marvels have already won Japan's coveted Good Design award, and when you get your mitts on one you'll realise why. From the funky transparent packaging and delightful little pot to the cartoony leaves and hypnotic movement, Flip Flap Q's have got cult written all over them.
