Have you tried Hanataba Waterbubbles - our cute hydrogel beads that make a big visual impact.

Our waterbubbles are an excellent complement to fresh-cut flowers or bulbs, offering both practical and decorative benefits. These beads can be used in a number of ways and they're an easy way to add charm and creativity to your arrangements. They’re always a talking point when used in decorations and table settings!

These  clever, jelly-like pearls start out as tiny granules. Before you begin you need to let them expand, roughly overnight. Pour the beads into a bucket or big container, add cold water, wait a few hours, and watch them transform into crystal-clear, dreamy bubbles. One small pack makes about 4 litres of beautiful beads - enough for quite a few arrangements!

Why we love them

  • Effortless magic: Just add water - the beads expand up to 100× their size!
  • Clean and elegant: The clear version keeps the focus on your flowers, while the pink variant adds a romantic pop of colour.
  • Reusable: Rinse, store in water, and use them again for your next bouquet or table setup.
  • Versatile: Perfect for vases, decorative bowls, or event centrepieces.

Create stunning table centerpieces with ease by placing waterpearls in glass vases or bowls along with floating candles or submerged flowers. The translucent quality of our waterpearls adds a light and airy touch to the display, perfect for weddings, dinner parties, or everyday elegance.

Cute holiday decorations

Our waterbubbles are a perfect companion to hyacints during the holidays!

  • Remove the soil from the roots of the hyacints and give them a good rinse.
  • Add some waterbubbles to the vase of your choise.
  • Place the hyacints on top of the bubbles and push them down a little so they're steady.
  • Decorate with evergreens, dried apple slices or tiny christmas baubles. 
  • A cute ribbon around the vase and a candycane hanging on the edge adds to the charm. 
  • You don't need to add any extra water when you use the waterbubbles with bulbs - they've got all the water they need to grow stored in the bulb.

Other uses

Both young and old are intrigued by these pearls and want to touch them. Engage children in sensory play by filling a large container with waterpearls and letting them explore the textures and colors. Add toys or figurines for imaginative play.

A few tips

  • When you use our waterbubbles with fresh flowers you always need to add some water to the vase, so that the flower's got something to drink.
  • Try pairing waterbubbles with a single-stem rose and some greenery in a slender, tall glasscylinder. Simple, yet very beautiful!
  • Don’t pour unused beads down the drain - they expand in water and might block your pipes.
  • You don’t have to activate the whole bag at once - use just what you need.
  • If you've expanded too many, simply store them in water until you’re ready to use them! Once they've been activated they need to be kept moist or else they'll dry out and cannot be expanded again.
  • Keep them out of reach of small children and pets (they look a bit too much like candy!).

Customer photo review of Candle Vase 3-Pack

Sprayat en gammal kandelaber chokladbrun och gjorde det till en vas .. så fint… det blir nog mest att ha konstgjorda blommor i eftersom rören är smala och växterna kräver mycket vatten… men nu hade jag lite väl stora blommor i… men fick många komplimanger.

Customer photo review of Kenzan Ring 150 mm Acrylic Flower Frog

Only just received this so the photos are my rushed first efforts of flowers that I have grown from seed this year for the first time. I love this piece of equipment. I realise that it’s not the cheapest thing, but the results are beautiful and I imagine that it will last for a long time. Extremely satisfied, thanks!

Har inte hittat några blommor ännu...det är ju inte så mkt av den varan nu! Ska testa i fler vaser och ljusstakar också. Den ena ( i lägsta) envisas med att glida snett och får hela tiden justeras. Tycker det är ett mysigt sätt att njuta av div. växter!

I love flowers and for years have struggled with making professional-looking bouquets. It really is an art! That is, until I bought one of the Hanataba bouquet and arrangement kits. As you can see, their beautiful vase and circular frog really made my dahlias sing. I get so many compliments! I'll be buying a second one for sure. Thank you Hanataba for upping my bouquet game.

Det ser fint ut. Jag undersöker om det räcker med gelekulorna, inget mer vatten.

Received as part of a bundle for my birthday. Not had time to try the bouquet twisters yet but loved setting up the flowers on this and they held and lasted a long time. Excited to play around some more.

Customer photo review of Kenzan Bowl 'Kobachi'

Glasyren har runnit väldigt osnyggt, klump i botten, ränder och ojämn i färgen. Inget speciellt med skålen heller. Har frukostskålar från IKEA som står bättre.

Kenzan Bowl 'Kobachi'

Store owner replied: Thank you for your honest feedback, Emma. We’re very sorry that the bowl you received didn’t meet the standard we expect from our products. As I wrote to you in our email conversation, we’ve sent a new bowl to you, and of course, you don’t need to return the one you already have. We truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention and hope the replacement will be much more in line with what you expected from us.
