Give the gift that keeps on giving in the form of conversation and laughs. My hollow books are all one of a kind and each carry with them a story of their own; one of your creation. Great gifts for both men and woman in your life, and sure to be a conversation starter whether you use it as a gift box to to hide something special or just as a coffee table book to hold a secret treasure.
{As a former English teacher and Lover of BOOKS you might be thinking; why tear up a book? Well, the answer is clear- this book's Fate was the landfill, and now, it's been turned into a brand new reclaimed design and given a new lease on life.}
I take discarded and abandoned books from libraries, auctions, basements and stores and turn them into one of a kind new and useful objects; saving them from their landfill Fate.

For this new line of hollow book all of the pages and the covers are glued together and then a perfect circle is hollowed out of the center of the book to hold the succulent of your choice. The inside of the book is lined with layers of water proofing material and wax paper. A kit will come with your book; a bag of small pebbles used for drainage in the bottom of the planter and a bag of larger pebbles used for decoration in the top of your planter. When you receive your book simply go to your local nursery (or hardware store or big box hardware store) and find yourself a nice shallow succulent.
The books in the first two images are examples of what your book will look like when you plant your succulent. The third image is the book you will receive, WITHOUT the succulent. In order to keep shipping costs low I will not be including a potted plant with your purchase.
