Hurricane Vase alternative

For my table centres I liked the idea of a hurricane vase with a big candle inside but the vases were quite pricy.
However today I stumbled across these and although they're not hurricane vases I think they'll look great and still has the general look I was going for:

Now just need to decide exactly how to fill/present them.

    I have one of these at home! they are nice vases. Very good price. Nice with a candle in, or maybe decorative stones, petals or fairy lights???

    My friend had these for her centrepieces, she had them sitting on a mirrored plate and filled with coloured sand (pink), which she bought from shops like home bargins and poundstrecher and a church candle. Looked lovely :)
