# Miniature Man Zen Gardens The Zen Garden from 'Toysmith' Has a Cunning Design By Paul Maccarone | Published 2013-08-08 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zen-garden References: [fancy](http://fancy.com/things/338352527097466463/Zen-Garden-by-Toysmith) The zen garden from 'Toysmith' features not only the calming effect that it's known for, but also a design that captures attention. The [miniature man](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/micro-katana) that can be moved into different positions within the garden allows for a stunning and interactive look. The entire zen garden comes with a bamboo rake, a long-handled rake, broom, two Asian ceramic swans, an assortment of [polished rocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arrakis-30) and the white purified sand that goes inside it. Along with the remarkably designed garden comes a 64 page booklet that completes the set as it houses many of the meditations that make for a successful stress relief program. Even if you're not going to use the zen garden for its [calming effects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sonic-heirloom), the clever design allows for this set to also be a work of art in itself. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.7/10 - Popularity: 4% | Activity: 9% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: North America, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Interactive Zen Gardens:** The inclusion of a movable miniature man within the zen garden offers a new level of interaction and engagement. - **Complete Zen Garden Sets:** The inclusion of various tools and accessories, along with a meditation booklet, presents an opportunity to provide customers with a complete zen garden experience. - **Design-focused Zen Gardens:** The clever and visually stunning design of the zen garden transforms it into a work of art that can enhance any space. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Home Decor:** Innovative zen garden designs can disrupt the home decor industry by providing aesthetic and therapeutic products. - **Wellness and Mindfulness:** The integration of miniature man and meditations in zen gardens can offer new opportunities in the wellness and mindfulness industry for stress relief and relaxation. - **Gifts and Collectibles:** The zen garden's combination of aesthetics, interactivity, and calming properties make it a unique and appealing gift option, disrupting the gifts and collectibles industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Workstation Zen Garden Equipment](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/desktop-zen-garden.md) - [Miniature Kinetic Sand Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/homedics-drift-11.md) - [Calming Desktop Novelty Items](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-peaceful-lotus.md) - [Minimalist Japanese Fidget Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fingerdama.md) - [Meditative Desktop Concentration Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/motion-zero.md) - [Zen Garden-Inspired Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/japanese-zen-garden.md) - [Nature-Inspired Minimal Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zen-house-1.md) - [Mesmerizing Sand Pattern Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crystal-sandsara.md) - [Miniature Building Block Plants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-icons-tiny-plants.md)
