Here’s quick and easy DIY that brings together two of the most popular Valentine’s gifts – Candy and Flowers.

You’ll need two vases of similar shapes, but differing sizes.  The smaller one must be able to fit inside the larger one with space to spare; not to worry if it’s shorter, you can prop it up by adding candy underneath it.  Once nestled together, simply fill the space between the two vases with your candy of choice.  Fill the smaller, inside vase with water, add the flowers you’ve picked for your Valentine and viola!
