As a shopping writer, I always see viral products on social media. While I appreciate a helpful cleaning tool or a hidden shelf organizer, one unusually eye-catching item caught my eye today: a glass vase-slash-aquarium shaped like a bag that shoppers on Instagram have been posting like crazy.
Yes, it's a vase; you can use it to hold flowers or goldfish! (The bag shape seems more stylistic than functional; wear it on your wrist at your own risk.) While many buyers add water for fresh flowers, the images provided by the retailer - which show actual fish swimming underneath the flowers - encourage buyers to use it as a mini aquarium. Talk about a versatile decoration!
There are surprisingly many glass bags to choose from, with prices ranging up to $160. The most affordable option we like is on Amazon and costs about 70% less than that: between $44 and $50. And Etsy has equally pretty copies starting at $10.
If you're heading to the farmer's market or pet store soon, order one of these bags first. We guarantee it will make the arrival of your fresh flowers or fish friend even more joyful!
