Looking for Unusual Teen Gift? Give Just Add Ice Orchids

December 22, 2010

Teenagers are so hard to shop for. Clothes, electronics and sports seem to be their major interests, but they want to pick out their own clothes, have usually accumulated all the sports gear they need and are horrified if you try to pick out music for them. Grandparents usually cave under the pressure and just give their teenage grandchildren a check. Even parents can find it tough to find a holiday gift that will surprise their teen. No one wants to give an unappreciated gift, but tearing open envelopes instead of gaily-wrapped packages on Christmas morning just isn’t the same.

If you’re tired of handing out checks during the holidays, a wonderful orchid story received from 14-year-old Erin K. of Dallas, Georgia suggests a unique Christmas gift that is sure to surprise and delight any teen.

"I am just 14 years old and I already love growing orchids. About 3-4 months ago is when I bought my first orchid from Just Add Ice Orchids because I have always wanted a challenge. Since then I have bought another one, but not from this company but the 3 ice cubes a week works great for it too! I have just learned how to hand pollinate an orchid so I did so this morning with both of my plants. Soon I hope to go on and buy some of the harder, more exotic types . . . Wish me luck as I start down the fun road of Orchids!" -- Erin K.

As Erin found, beautiful Just Add Ice Phalaenopsis Orchids are the perfect orchid for novice orchid growers. Just Add Ice Orchids are hardy and require little care beyond watering with 3 ice cubes once a week, but bloom in big, gorgeous, long-lasting blooms that give novice orchid growers an instant sense of accomplishment. Isn’t that just what your favorite teen needs?
