Pink cylinder vases

We love Ikea for the reasonably priced items that you can use for a week or two, then tuck away in the cupboard until next year. For a romantic night with your beau, pick up this set of three pink cylinder vases ($13). If you prefer flowers over candles, use them as mini vases. As a bonus, they stack for storage!
