Man Selling Dried Up Fall Leaves For $19.99

If you've ever gone on a day trip to view the beauty of the fall foliage, you know how amazing it can be. But some people don't live in areas where the leaves turn red, yellow and orange. One man is selling leaves to those people for $19.99.

#1 Nature Lovers Surprise

Nature lovers who want to see the beauty of New England's Fall foliage no longer need to travel for the experience.

#2 Innovative Idea

A Boston-area man named Kyle Waring, is offering to ship bundles of dried up, multi-colored vegetation straight to your door for $19.99. He came up with the idea earlier this summer and set up his website before the leaves turned colors.

#3 Buy Leaves Online

They began sending out the packages of 3 hand picked leaves in September to Us customers who would otherwise not be able to experience the foliage.

#4 They Ship Leaves Directly To You

So far, he has sold over 200 packages of the beautiful leaves to customers who want to see the beauty of New England in the Fall.

#5 An Opportunity To Make Money

He set up the site with his wife, who came up with the idea of a way to make money while contemplating "seasonal monetization opportunities."

#6 Fall Leaves In New England Are Gorgeous

Together they settled on leaves, they said, because "fall in New England is especially gorgeous and really strikes an emotional chord." They may be right. The packaging and leaves are beautiful!

#7 The Leaves Are Hand Picked

They decided to sell the bundles of leaves in decorative packets of three, ranging from 3 to 6 inches (7.5 to 15 cm) in size and colors.

#8 They Are Preserved Before Shipping

For shipping, the leaves are preserved in a mixture of glycerin and water and shipped with a glass vase (for an extra fee) with the mixture to keep your leaves lasting longer.

#9 Tourists Love Seeing The Leaves In Full Color

New England states bring in an estimated $3 million in tourism revenue during the autumn foliage season, which typically lasts for a couple of weeks in October. It's doubtful that this endeavor will cut into any of that tourism money, but it's sure a clever way to earn some extra cash.

#10 No Business Like Snow Business

Sending out Autumn leaves is not the couples first foray into selling seasonal offerings. Using a different website, last year they shipped out containers of snow!

#11 Now That's A Lot Of Snow

They decided to take advantage of Boston's record snowfall and ship out cold packed snow in a container to over 500 customers in the South, for a mere $89.00 per shipment. That's around 720 pounds of snow.
