Toy rabbit (Roseburn EH12)
Maybe this rabbit would look good in an Easter decoration? It's about 20cm tall, soft and furry. It used to hop around (battery-operated) but sadly doesn't work any more. (Note: The outside is soft, but it's not a squashy cuddly toy.)

Small fan heater (Roseburn EH12)
Gifted
Note that this heater is not currently working. It is a small fan heater (measures about 25cm x 22cm x 10cm). We've had it for years and it worked fine the last time we used it. It's been sitting in a cupboard, but we now need the space more than we need the heater. Checked it before posting on here and found it isn't working any more. Might be a simple fix for someone who knows what they're doing - or perhaps you could take it to the Repair Cafe? (See notice on the Events tab.)

Lemon-scented geranium plants (Roseburn EH12)

These are cuttings from a larger plant. The leaves smell of lemon. They are all rooted and growing but unfortunately haven't had enough light, so are quite leggy. If you trim the tops off, they will branch and get more bushy.
