    Hot In The Hive: Vazu Foldable Vases

    Alex Gambardella on Aug 14, 2009 6:17 AM PDT
    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

    Hot In The Hive: Bubble Necklace By Marina and Susanna Sent

    I recently went to a beautiful garden wedding where the bride looked radiant in white and the bridal party and groomsmen where matching in verbena green accessories. It was a pretty informal affair, with the groom strumming a song on his acoustic guitar as the bride walked down the aisle. This non-traditional ceremony ended with all the attendees blowing bubbles instead of throwing rice or confetti. I haven't seen the pictures yet, but I'm sure that the bride and groom looked amazing with bubbles surrounding them. When I found the Bubble Necklace at the MoMA store recently, I realized I could get the same look without getting drenched in soapy solution (or hitched!). Made of Murano glass beads, the beads look like they're effortlessly floating on your decolletage. While they're harder to pop, be careful not to break any of the glass bubbles!

    Price: $103.50-$115

    Artisan Hand Blown Glass Rings

    I came across a jewelry designer while I was visiting my sister in Boston that makes hand blown glass cocktail rings along with other types of jewelry. Some are transparent others are cloudy and opaque. Glass rings come in a myriad of colors. The inspiration for these rings comes from the Murano glass artisans located on the Venetian island of Murano. The ring actually looks like a stone but because it's a piece of hand blown artisan designed glass, it's much more affordable than other oversized cocktail rings. What I like about blown glass is that each piece is unique. Every time I wear my glass ring, someone asks me what kind of stone it is! So it's up to you if you want to explain that it's an interesting piece of hand-blown glass... or if you want to make up a story about some sort of rare, precious gem!

Fun furniture from the haute to the handmade have also found their way into the mix, along with a little red dress that'll more than suffice if he forgets the flowers come February 14th... hey, it never hurts to plan ahead!
