A bit of home decor and gardening
Discussion
TL:DR I need a sealable vase as a ‘romantic gesture’.
Moving into new house (proper dream house) on the 15th. It’s my wife’s birthday the day before, and it’s obviously going to be a disaster, as we’ll be stressed as hell.
She’s said that the house is her birthday present, but I want to do something properly romantic. No instagrammable things, just something that has meaning, even though some may think of me as cheap.
Her parents died within 2 weeks of each other just before we met. They (and she) were from the Netherlands, hence big plant growing place, and her parents had a couple of Physalis trees in their garden, which she loved.
Fast forward a couple of years, I asked her sister (who lives nearby) if she could get some of the fruit cases, and I’ve now got a carrier bag full (I know it’s daft, and I could use any physalis, but this has a connection). I’d like a tall, thin vase maybe 80 cm high and 20cm diameter I could put them in, but crucially I want one with a lid (dust etc) that doesn’t look horrific. Any ideas, google has failed me?
