There's no sponge like luffa sponge

I feel too wiped out from thinking about everything I'm thankful for to really give thought to what I'm going to gift this giving season. So I feel fortunate to have come across something I'm going to do for next year's giving season. I'm going to make/grow luffa sponges.

I always thought they were from the sea but apparently they come from a vegetable. Don't believe me? The proof is in the hands of the girl in the picture above.
