Anywhere to buy a chia pet online? (I swear I'm serious)

[flot]

I want to give someone a chia pet as a gift - anyone seen them online at a "reputable" reseller? (IE someone I won't freak out giving my credit card # to?)

www.chiapet.com has them (duh) but.. looks like an awfully homemade web site.... not really comfortable giving them my info...

Yes this is a gag gift of sorts.

try Target.com or Walmart.com or even Kmart

Cobalt, I started there and ended there and made it to the checkout screen where they politely told me how great it would be for me to start an account so that they could save my credit card information... and the site didn't really seem to have the technical prowess to do that in a secure and safe fashion....

I would normally look in a place like As Seen on TV.com but they don't seem to have it listed. Sorry bud.

for a mere $19.00 plus shipping and handling i can send you a pet rock.

Did you look at the "where to buy" page???

Try your local Ace Hardware store.

"Online" was the key part of my request... I actually went through like 40% of the stores listed under "Where to buy" and not a single one sold them on their website. Or rather, not a single one brought anything relevant up when doing a search for "chia."

The only store local that should have them is K-Mart, and since I'll have to ship it anyway - I figured I'd save myself some hassle and buy it online and have it shipped to the recipient.... plus it'll be a funnier gift arriving in the mail from whatever.com then if I send it myself....

It's hard to find those things anywhere until it gets real close to christmas time, then all the major retailers will carry them. I wanted to get one for myself just to be goofy and I couldn't find any...

I just remembered something...

I bought a Chia Pet as a gag gift about ten years ago. One thing you have to be careful of, is broken Chias. These are teracotta and break very easily and for some strange reason, they aren't packaged very well. Half the ones I looked at at the store were broken.
