I use small plastic containers as inserts inside the pretty, more decorative vintage cups and vases etc. I've been doing this for years. I recycle those little plastic applesauce/fruit containers and also use the round plastic zip lok containers that come in a couple of different sizes. You just have to be careful when watering that the water doesn't sit for long inside the inner container so you don't end up with root rot.

Whenever I give plants as gifts I try to find an inexpensive but pretty container, to dress up the plant. I use candle holders, vases, pitchers ... put a little plastic cup inside to catch the water in case the recipient wants to use the decorative container for it's original purpose!

This picture is just some plants I have sitting around the house.
