Spring is springing and it's even starting to feel like summer's on the way, so naturally, the best way to celebrate is getting outside to catch some rays as much as possible.
But if you're stuck inside WFH or even fancy jazzing up your office table, then why not bring a bit of the outside in, treating to yourself to some daffodils or even a larger bunch of flowers?
And rather than dragging out the same old vases you've been using for what feels like eternity, how about updating your collection in line with two of spring's biggest trends?
Sainsbury's has absolutely nailed it revealing a vase which isn't only the freshest shade of sage green but comes in classy stripe too - the perfect way to brighten up any room.

Habitat Hand Painted Stripe Vase - Green
The "earthenware" vase comes in a curved design with hand-painted green stripes on a white background. For anyone wondering, "earthenware" is a type of porous, opaque pottery which delivers a rustic feel and look - in other words, perfect.
Measuring 25cm in height, by 14cm width and with a 14cm diameter, the vase is the perfect size to add a zhuzh of colour to any room.
And whether you put flowers, dried plants or anything in it or not, so gorgeous is the vase it could definitely act as a stand-alone piece.
While it certainly nails two of spring's trends in one, we think it's pretty timeless for all year around - so you won't have to worry about finding space for it in the attic or storage cupboard either.
Pop it on your mantlepiece or a coffee table, we think it would look great on top of Next's sage green tablecloth.
And there's more ideas where that came from, prepare for us to go full interior designer on you...
How about using the vase to decorate that old fireplace in your bedroom you never use? To compliment Sainsbury's ruffle cushion of a similar shade? Or next time the sun's out and you have a BBQ, how about moving it al fresco on top of Sainsbury's three-piece garden set?
And coming in at £14, it's certainly not going to break the bank either.
So next time you rush on down to Sainsbury's to do your weekly shop, why not slow your pace and indulge yourself in this hand-painted vase for an absolute steal of a price?
It's definitely worth it. But don't just take our word for it either, the vase currently featuring 100 percent five-star reviews online.
One Sainsbury's shopper wrote: "Lovely looking vase. Bought as a present and my granddaughter loves it. Lovely colours good glaze and shape is really quirky. Good value for money."
"Beautiful vase, colour is striking and it's a good weight and size for the price. Very sturdy, not too light or flimsy," another said.
And a third added: "Bought this vase with Nectar points. Very pleased. Looks great with or without flowers."
