For the nature person who has everything, they can bring the outside inside with the grass covered mouse by Japanese artist Hanaoka who specializes in covering random, everyday objects (such as cars) in grass.
The grass mouse is to remind those working to be ecologically-friendly and to think about the environment and their impacts upon it. No word on whether or not you would have to water the mouse, or if the grass would just dry up and turn brown.
