I've always had great luck selling these at demos and girls really like them. Try sticking a bit of cotton or tissue in the bottom with superglue on it and then put a drop of rose oil on the tissue.

I solder the stems onto mine, so if you ever try that don't use roofing copper; it has a weird plastic film on it that burns and bubbles as it heats up.
