Get personal with NetFlorists chalkboard vases

Johannesburg, 28 June, 2010 – True to form, NetFlorist has "chalked" up another trendy gift idea with its new chalkboard vases and flower arrangements.

"Not everyone is into crystal or hand-painted china, so chalkboard vases provide a refreshing, liberating and customisable alternative," says Sue Morris, executive marketer for NetFlorist.

Whether you want to earn a whole batch of brownie points from your teacher with your trigonometric equations, or you know someone who's dying to vent their artistic impulses, chalkboard vases are just the ticket. Wherever you put them, the vases are guaranteed to get conversations going.

NetFlorist's chalkboard vases come as a clean slate with a bag of white chalk and come with one of four lush flower arrangements. One of the arrangements is a beautifully feminine combination of pink lilies, pink roses and greyvilla (also known as pincushion protea) surrounded by greenery (R429). Another, that will do justice to any setting, consists of crisp white gerberas, roses, carnations and mini carnations complemented by green sprays (R429). Those who are proudly South African will love the arrangement consisting of proteas, lilies and greenery (R499). The fourth option is a beautiful mix of purple Liatris, white irises, white roses and greenery (R429).
