As much as I hate guns and I shiver at the thought of ever having one in my house (no Saturday night specials over here, thank ya very much!), I'm kinda fascinated by items with gun motifs -- well, as long as they're tasteful and playful (cool necklaces, rings, shirts, etc.). Maybe it's how I release my inner Reservoir Dog or something... But before I further psychoanalyze myself, let's talk about this slammin' 7-inch triple gun vase, made of white ceramic. Basically, the idea is to fill each barrel with water and place flowers in there (side note: the vase does come with artificial flowers, but they look kinda janky so you may want to rethink that). If you think about it, the concept is pretty amazing -- instead of shooting bullets , this vase figuratively "sprouts" flowers, thus taking the notion of guns as tools of death and turning it on its head. Guess Axl Rose was on to something when he put the guns and roses ideas together, huh? Now you can pack heat without worrying about any shoot-outs.
