Gardener's Floral Gift Box - decorated pot with seed packets ready to gift

Gardener's Floral Gift BoxMy friend, who is an avid gardener, will celebrate her birthday soon. I want to gift her with a few packets of flower seeds, but I do not want to give only the packets on their own. I found a small unglazed clay pot, which I decided to turn into a themed gift box. The pot can afterwards be used as a floral planter.

Questions

Jewelry Business Name Ideas - earrings

Jewelry Business Name Ideas?I have previously asked for help naming my handmade jewelry business and I have yet to fall in love with any.

Removing Sticky Black Residue from Cheap Rubber Bath Mat?Has anyone had a problem with your rubber bath mat (cheap one) sort of "collecting" a bit of sticky, black residue? It is not mold or bacteria. But I really started having a problem with it after I sprayed a mixture of Clorox (chlorine) and water on my shower walls and on the mat to remove mold and sanitize them.

Almost Ate a Slug by Mistake?Long story short, I had some food outside and went to eat it - it was dark and I didn't know the thing had crawled in there (clearly). It was in my mouth like 10 seconds at most when I realized what it was. Then I spit it out and rinsed my mouth with vinegar and mouthwash and the oregano oil diluted in water.
