Don Berry, the owner of Vases By Vazu, sent me an email yesterday. He informed me that they are an authorized distributor of Vazu vases for the United States.
I went to check his Web site where I saw the latest addition to the Vazu, a collection of Christmas themed vases. Offered with a red, green or blue background, the drawings on the green flower vase are the most stylish.
How and when to use this expandable flower vase?
Vazu comes most handy to bring fresh blooms or green leaves when you are invited to dinner or at a party.
You ask the florist to fill up the vase with water, select fresh flowers and put them inside right away. Your fresh flowers will stay healthy even if you have to drive all day.
If you are looking for a no-fuss solution, these expandable flower vases are perfect to decorate your office, a buffet table or your home during the Holidays. For a gift exchange, Vazu makes a hard to beat stylish gift idea under $10. If you include flowers, your gift can easily be under $25.

While shopping online at Gone Shopping earlier this week, I get my hands on the Vazu flower vase that I spoke earlier.
Three patterns are available for $10 CAD at Gone Shopping, a Canadian online retailer. They ship to Canadian and American addresses.
I received my package today. After inspections, Vazu is well-made and cute. Basically with Vazu, you can bring a bouquet in a vase without worrying of breaking the vase. Ideal for a simple housewarming party or a hostess gift. The vase is reusable.

For my readers in the United States I got a good and a bad news. The good news is that I dig up a source in the United States for a flat pack flower vase similar to the Vazu vases I spoke about last week.
The patterns are cool and lively. These nicely shaped vases are made in Japan. They seem to be as strong and durable as Vazu.
Plastica is a hip boutique filled with unique items from around the world as well as products by local designers. You can get these expandable flower vases at their boutique located in Silverlake, Los Angeles or buy it online.
The bad news is the price. This brand is twice as expensive as Vazu. Being made in Japan partially explains why it costs more. But at $26, it is still affordable; you just have to spend less on flowers for your housewarming gift.

My friend Mélanie commented an hour ago about these vases on my blog. Her tip was so interesting that I decided to highlight this product right away.
The vases from TOMA display interesting illustrations. You can choose between a fern, blue grass, a Japanese proverb, red fish, kitchen utensils or a face with a heart (better for Valentine Day).
The comparison
They cost less than the Vazu vases that I presented yesterday; $4 CAD for a small vase, $5 for a large vase. From the pictures, these vases seem to look more plastic, a little bit less refined than Vazu. But for the price, I cannot complain. Where else can I easily carry my flowers in an original vase for an extra $4. And this product is more widely available in stores.

This post is about an innovative product that makes an affordable hostess gift or housewarming gift. This does not mean that you cannot just bring a couple to your home.
Update August 22, 2007:
Stop by the florist to get fresh flowers and your hostess or housewarming gift is set. I appreciate the fact that I can bring the vase with a bunch of flowers without having to carry a heavy lift. And there is no chance to break the vase either. (Thanks to Eden - see comments).
A one of a king flower vase design
Vazu is a flower vase like you have never seen before. What is so special about Vazu is that it is thin as a paper sheet when it is flat. And do not be fool by how little it weights, this flower vase is strong and durable.
Once you filled it with water, the transparency and glossiness of Vazu resembles a glass vase. The first collection of Vazu contains 16 models in three different shapes. The arrays of patterns mix modern and classic designs. Vazu is the design of T.H.+E. Design Group located in Israel.
