Hope Forever Blossoming Vases by Ami Kealoha
Packable, mailable, and otherwise generally easy to transport, these plastic vases by the Japanese company Hope Forever Blossoming are held open and stable with water and fold flat when empty, making them as clever as they are usable. Filled with flowers, they make an excellent gift that safely minimizes hassle on subways and in cars. Or, slipped in a suitcase, they add a romantic touch to hotel rooms that's a far better alternative to balancing stems in water glasses.
Pick up a set of two for $25 from Flight 001.

Caddy
Wood & Wood Design, a consultancy firm in London, has hit upon the novel idea of combining a mobile suitcase with a walker. While the "Caddy" (as their product has come to be called) is designed as a mobility-aid, who wouldn't want a suitcase they could lean their weight on while careening across the O'Hare airport terminal in a frantic rush to make Gate...

Hanspree Televisions
One of the things that's struck our eye here at CES in Las Vegas are these fun and inexpensive television sets from Hanspree.
