Spring is finally, finally in the air. It’s going to be in the 70’s here this week. Ah, visions of budding foliage and crocuses and flowers at the farmer’s market. Any day now, any day…

I found a few fun gadgets to could not make flower arranging any simpler. I’ll be ready.

 Perfect Arrangers The Perfect Arrangers are nifty little contraptions that nestle the stems of the flowers and decorative foliage in any position that you want. It’s then as easy to create a minimalist arrangement as a very plush one. The Perfect Arrangers come in three sizes and can be purchased here. There’s a demonstration video on that page too. Forget the menacing floral frogs. Those things always scared me as a kid and there not fun to use or wash. Burk.
 flower budi The Flower Budi is a kit that allows one to channel the talents of a real chichi floral designer in just a few moments. You can watch the video here, but essentially, you build an arrangement in three simple steps “Press-Cut-Arrange”. Idiot-proof and really good for the more elaborate arrangments. The kit comes with several “recipes” for different arrangements. You can order the kit here for $19.99.

 Flip Flop Flower Pot The Flip Flip Flower Pot is another cute idea. You can use this indoors or out. You supply the flower pots. What you are buying here is the base kit that holds the pots in that stacked position. I think that this is very clever for small spaces like outdoor balconies and for mini herb gardens, something that my daughter has been begging me to plant. Now that we are no longer in Nevada, it might just happen. You can buy the kits here for $19.95 each.

Happy SPRINGtime!
