Unique Gift For Men: Real 1up Mushroom

If this thing works the way it claims, then it qualifies as “UNBELIEVABLE”. If your guy is a lover of video games, nostalgic about his youth, or just gets excited about cool stuff, then this could be his perfect gift (plus it’s under $10).

This kit gives him everything he needs to actually grow a 1up Mushroom
. For all of you that actually have been on a desert island for the last twenty years, it’s from the Super Mario Brothers video games.

He actually plants, in soil, some spores, waters them, feeds them, and keeps them in a cool dark place, and in a couple of weeks, well, what you see is what you get.

I have no idea how this is accomplished. Perhaps there is a highly accomplished “mushroom spore artist” in the far corners of the world. Either way, I find this item terribly exciting. Imagine your man giggling like a school girl as he checks his crop.

OK, so this is actually a vinyl toy. But at first glance your friends will think it’s real. Get one now!
