5.0 out of 5 stars The perfect gift that keeps giving, November 21, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Toysmith Deluxe Zen Garden (Toy)

This is the perfect gift for that someone who you always have trouble buying something for. Even if you are not a believe in Buddhism and Zen, this is a fun gift for anyone who needs a little relaxing and enjoys being creative. You can create your own little "Office Zen garden" and have your visitors play and create their own garden if you would like to. Every time I use this, I feel the tranquility washing over me, just like a true meditation.

I do not believe this is a toy... It is very calming to use, and therefore, it is a form of meditation. The Book of Meditations that it comes with are enlightening quotes, ones that will help you reach peace of mind.

The box is well built, and sturdy. It comes with two bags of sand, but one is enough to fill the box. The rocks are not jade as advertised, but they are polished, shiny, and smooth. One of my cranes fell over at first, but I just had to pull one of the legs back and it stands just fine=]. The broom that you use to smooth out the sand when first beginning, and after each use doesn't really work how it is supposed to, but I use the back side, without the bristles and it works out well. The sand is really, really soft, and white, and the box is gorgeous.

This is an excellent product. I was so excited to receive it, and now I am so glad to have it.... FOREVER!! I love my new garden. It's fun, and you feel like you have an actual garden to tend to. It's FANTABULOUS... Mine is anyway... Other customers said their box was wobbly due to uneven legs, but mine isn't. If you do not purchase this Zen Garden, I still highly recommend getting one, although, this one seems to be the best one out there.
