Created by Sourcing International, a unique supplier of innovative novelty items, the fun loving Grow-A-Heads almost magically sprout a full head of “grass” hair that can be trimmed to reflect its owner’s unique personality.  Just in time for Christmas, the new Grow-A-Head Holidays arrive outfitted as Santa or a friendly elf that are sure to bring holiday cheer this season. And new Grow-A-Head Greetings come equipped with a customizable sign, carrying messages such as "Happy Birthday", "Get well soon", “Congrats,” or a personalized note to mark any occasion.

Each Grow-A-Head comes complete with a “seeded head,” a small vase, instructions, decorating ideas, and educational facts about plant growth. Novice plant enthusiasts and gift recipients simply need to soak the head, fill the vase with water, use the included plastic container as a greenhouse, and then patiently observe. The grass "hair" begins to grow in 5 – 7 days, and from its initial germination, the head of "hair" fed with water from a wick and infused by natural nutrients, continues to grow with incredible speed and lasts for months.

Then comes the fun part: Trim and style the hair to your liking. Perhaps you want a Mohawk, pigtails, or side-comb. You can even use ribbons, bows, and other accessories – such as a hat, jewelry, sunglasses, or a beard – to personalize your head. The possibilities are limited only by someone's imagination. And if you mess up: Don't worry! It'll grow back!

"Grow-A-Heads make the perfect gift for a child eager to learn about science, the person who has everything, a co-worker, or the best friend that needs a little love," said Barry Carpenter, president of Sourcing International. "We're always excited to see how owners dress their heads with unique flair like pirates, ballerinas, handymen, teachers, and more and then share photos of their new friends on our web site to swap style ideas and chic fashions."

The Grow-A-Head also makes fantastic educational tools for children, who are just learning about plant life. Teachers and parents can use Grow-A-Heads as living examples of several important plant principles. The minute water is added, a series of complex organic processes is set into motion, offering an unique opportunity for children to understand plant anatomy, germination, transpiration, and photosynthesis, the complex process with which plants make food using energy derived from light.  These educational fun facts and suggested lesson plans are also outlined with illustrations on the Grow-A-Head.com Web site.

Each Grow-A-Head is handcrafted of natural ingredients, including coconut fiber and peat moss that germinates the seeded rye grass.  Grow-A-Heads are age-appropriate for children five and up and are particularly apt for those young-at-heart and are available at gift and specialty retailers nationwide for $9.99 - $11.99 MSRP or visit www.Grow-A-Head.com
