Please stick with prose using standard punctuation, spelling, and grammar. Winner gets a whopping TWO DOLLARS to spend on a GIFT OF THEIR CHOICE! I'll pick a winner sometime in early January.

Ch-ch-ch-ch-Chia!

How can you go wrong giving some carefully-selected person, loved or otherwise, a Chia pet?

If they're children, they will see the miracle of life with anticipatory excitement.

If they're adults, they will think of you (if you know what I mean... maybe) every time they look at it.

If they're intellectuals, they will wax philosophical about anthropomorphism.

If they're dullards, they'll be fascinated.

If they're adolescents, they'll have something new to try in the pipe.

If they're businessmen, they'll pine for missed business opportunities.

If they're women, they'll be seduced.

If they're men, they will finally own a plant.
