This Alien Egg Planter Thankfully Does Not Host a Facehugger

While they usually host terrifying Facehuggers, these Alien egg planters will be a home to your inoffensive house plants instead!

3D printed Alien egg planters. With drainage! Two styles, style A is our interpretation of the original egg and style B is more styled after the later versions
