Picked up a bunch of 3/8" diameter by 3 1/2" long glass test tube type inserts at the last WWing show and finally got around to using some of them. Weed pots are nice but won't hold water. Make 'em a little bigger and add the inserts and they'll actually keep a flower alive for days.
So if you're looking for ideas for stocking stuffers or small presents - have a look.

Hey Charlie
Just make sure people KNOW the glass tubes are in there when they want to look on the bottom and turn the bud vases over,----- crashhhhhh.

Tape over the top is a good clue. I do this test tube thing from time to time and it works great! You can also find plastic test tubes which are good for this reason.
I found another easy to turn present I'll be making for my green thumb relatives:
Hi Mark
I don't like the tape much so I now keep the glass ampules separate, just a lot safer :-))
I also use some plastic pots, the ones with a cap as used by the flower arrangers.
Seen the potmaker also, Lee Valley sells them, but never made or used one myself.
