Candy and Flowers for Valentine's Day - With a Twist

Hello!

We had our "Dinner Club" get together this weekend, and I love it.  Our Dinner Club includes five couples, and we take turns hosting every month or two.  Everyone brings a dish and a bottle of wine, and it's just a lot of fun to hang out (with adults) and enjoy conversation that isn't interrupted by children every 30 seconds.

So, since it was a Valentine's Day theme, I brought a hostess gift with that in mind.  Super easy, cheap and fun, combining some Valentine's Day favorites - flowers and candy.  Just in a non-traditional way.

I'm sure you can figure this out by looking, but I'll give you the blow-by-blow anyway.

I used two vases that were the same shape, but different sizes.  I actually used TWO bags of M&M's, for this project - just have one in the picture.

Place the smaller vase inside the larger one and then fill the gap between the two vases with the M&M's.  You could use all sorts of candy here - the little conversation heart candies would be cute here too.  Or even Red Hots!

Then fill the inside vase with water and fill with flowers.  I scored these amazing tulips - two big bunches for $20! 

Enjoy them yourself or give them to your Valentine. :-)
