Flowers on Valentine's Day may hardly be original, but your beau is still required to give them. If he's really on his game, he'll present your arrangement in a mod vase from Japan's Hoya Crystal. This isn't your grandmother's Lenoxthe inventive glassmaker (which has several pieces in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in Tokyo) specializes in edgy. In its space-age Tawawa vase, any old posy instantly becomes ikebana.
Hoya Tawawa old-fashioned glass vase, approximately $245. For more information, see www.hoyacrystal.jp.
