I’ve been looking for a fun way to jazz up the traditional card giving practices for holidays. That’s why I’m so glad I found the Potato Parcel from Shark Tank. It’s a potato printed with photos and a message to send to your loved ones. That’s sure to turn some “eyes”!
Goodbye paper cards and hello Potato Parcel. This Shark Tank invention is the innovative and unique replacement to the standard greeting card giving. It’s printable in a variety of designs and messages, making it suitable for nearly any holiday and any age recipient.
Mail a potato to your loved ones with the help of Potato Parcel!
Now you too can mail a printed potato to your friends and family with the Potato Parcel, as seen on Shark Tank. It’s perfect for holidays, birthdays, and just because you’re thinking of someone. I mean really, anytime you’d send a card, just reach for a potato instead.
Your potato is fully customizable, able to be printed with both images and words (or choose your preference between them). Upload your face, your dog’s face, or your favorite meme. Any image (sorry no lewd ones allowed) under 7MB will work.
Add a personalized message for the recipient. It’s entirely up to you of course, but I like the Potato Parcel for:
- Happy Birthday wishes
- Romantic poems for Valentine’s Day
- Get well soon notes to make folks smile
- Sending memes to friends
- Addressing dad jokes to the kids
- Office puns for coworkers
You’ll have 130 characters to come up with the perfect expressions for your intended audience.
This potato comes shipped in a gift-ready box. Up the ante by adding the special birthday package with a paper cake, balloon, and streamer. Alternatively, satisfy their sweet tooth with a snack pack filled with gummy candies.
The Potato Parcel currently only ships within the United States and is not generally available internationally. There is some limited availability to Canada, Australia, the UK, and Europe so please check when ordering if you need to send it there.
Can you eat a Potato Parcel?
While potatoes are generally an edible food, it is not recommended to eat a Potato Parcel. With the addition of the ink to the outside, and non-food safe transportation practices, eating one is probably a bad idea.
However, this potato still decomposes and is suitable in your compost pile for growing, you know, other potatoes in your garden. Now that’s an eco-friendly gift!
How do you preserve a Potato Parcel?
The short answer is you can’t really preserve a Potato Parcel for a long period of time. The best method of preservation is to take a photograph and have it framed. This is the only way to preserve a Potato Parcel permanently.
If you’re only looking to maintain the potato for a short period of time, the easiest method is to wrap it and place it in the freezer. Defrost and share it with your family, and then dispose of it afterwards. Alternatively, allow it to sprout over water and then plant it.
You cannot set the potato in resin, as that requires dehydration to be successful, which will alter the size, shape, and appearance of your Potato Parcel. Placing it in some sort of preservative (like formaldehyde) will generally dissolve the design. I know you love it, but it’s just not meant to be!
On its own, the Potato Parcel should last 3-5 weeks of enjoyment before it starts getting funky and you’ll want to send it on its way.
