Amaranth Vase
The Amaranth Vase makes taking care of bouquets and floral arrangements way less of a thorn in your side. Uh, though it won't do anything about actual thorns. Be they attached to flower stems, or somehow embedded in your side.
No, the Amaranth Vase earns its "smart" designation thanks to a fairly simple design that allows you to unscrew the bottom two-thirds of the vase's outer shell to: 1) drain old dirty, stinky flower water and replace it with fresh; and 2) trim floral stem bottoms while the Amaranth holds the arrangement in place. No pulling the whole thing out and having it fall into disarray.
A partial twist of the Amaranth Vase releases water from the bottom, while twisting fully releases the shell for stem access.
While it looks a little cheap-and-plasticky to me, Amaranth Vase makers say its diamond pattern was actually designed "to add a minimalistic, elegant touch" to your countertop. The surface is also grip-friendly so neither of you slips during all the screwing you'll do together.
The Amaranth Vase comes in small and large sizes, and 5 different colors. Pro Tip: if you decide to give it as a gift for a woman who loves flowers, present it to her already filled with flowers.
