Elegant Valentine’s Vase

Picture a small barrel-shaped vase you can wrap one hand around, its rim finished in a delicate diamond lattice that catches the light like lace. Below the collar, crisp vertical ribs run the full height of the body, and right through the middle sits a wrapped band of puffed, raised hearts, the kind of detail you want to run a finger over. We designed this one for Valentine's Day and anniversary gifting, but honestly it earns its keep on a windowsill all year round. Ours has lived happily among the house plants, holding a loose posy of statice, dianthus and a few stray ferns, and it looks just as good with a handful of dried stems in winter. It is printed in PETG Basic, a tougher, damp-resistant plastic that copes well with the water and stem moisture a real vase deals with day to day, so you are not limited to silk flowers only. Each vase is printed to order here in Australia, ready in a couple of days. It sits comfortably on a bedside table, a kitchen windowsill or a bathroom shelf, and makes a genuinely different gift for someone who already has enough candles and chocolates. Pick the colour that suits them, from a sunny yellow to a soft dusty pink, or go bold in classic red.
