    Hot In The Hive: Flat Flower Vases

    I bet you're the type of person who gets lots of flowers delivered to you on a regular basis. Whether it's your significant other sending a dozen roses to celebrate your anniversary or your best friends delivering a birthday bouquet, your home always smells like a garden. So I can also understand why you've also run out of vases to store the beautiful flowers. I've seen makeshift vases from small mason jars, milk boxes, and even wine bottles. While those options may do its job, it certainly doesn't do the flowers (or the giver) any justice! Then again, it's not like we have tons of storage space for glass vases under the kitchen sink. Well, I've found a perfect solution and they're called Flat Flower Vases! These vinyl vases lie flat, but when you need to use them, just fill it up with water and you're ready to go.


    Price: $24

    Hot In The Hive: Vazu Foldable Vases

    The forever-old custom of giving flowers as gifts would be a whole lot easier if you didn't have to worry about the glass vase not surviving the car ride over to the housewarming party you're attending. Vases usually aren't cheap, they break too easily, and they take up lots of precious storage room when you're too busy to keep them full of fresh-picked flowers. Apparently the masterminds behind the Vazu Foldable Vase had the same frustrations regarding flower-giving. The Vazu vase comes flat in its package and expands to form a sturdy, free-standing vase that you can fill with water and put on display with your flower arrangement. When you're finished, it re-folds easily back into its package for simple storage, and at only $4.99, you can afford to give it as part of a gift -- no broken glass and no lending out your grandma's old vase with the chance you'll never get it back! It even comes in a ton of colorful patterns that can coordinate with any bouquet arrangement. Check out the selection at the Vazu site!


    Price: $4.99 each

    Last-Minute Mother's Day Deliveries To Keep You On Mom's Good ...

    So it's Friday already and you're kinda sorta giftless for Mother's Day -- which is in fact this Sunday, no matter how much you wish you could buy yourself another week to shop. If you're close enough to your mama to see her on the big day, you know there's no way she'll let you into the house empty-handed, unless the mailman has already delivered the gift on your behalf, and a long-distance mom probably won't be any more forgiving if the day passes her by with not so much as a flower in sight. It's okay, you're human, and it's perfectly understandable for such an occasion to slip your mind, in my opinion... but I'm not the one you'll have to beg to for forgiveness! But don't fret yet, my fashionably forgetful friend -- the 'net has loads of thoughtful deliverable gifts that can fix your memory slip just in time (as in, before your mom replaces you as her favorite) as long as you act fast! With an array of edible treats like a set of hand-dipped strawberries that's almost too cute to eat (almost) or an at-home spa kit gift basket that will make sure Mom feels like royalty on her special day, no one will suspect that such a timely, gorgeous gift was really a last-minute desperate effort to stay out of the doghouse! Take a look at the slideshow for some Mother's Day deliveries that will make Mom feel special and save your behind in the process!
