I have been quite pleased with a vase that I installed in my 87.  I visited
the local hardware store and bought a turned wooden "person" in the
woodworking section. It has a round wooden head and a body with a flat bottom
that in diameter is an exact match for the diameter of the cigar lighter.  I
purchased a metal clip of the type used for holding brake cables onto the
frame of a bicycle.  I bored a small hole in the little bump in the clip
through which the cable would pass.  I screwed the clip onto the top of the
wooden "person" directly into the center of his cute little head.  I found a
silver vase at the local Salvation Army Thrift Store which I purchased for
$2.  It is about 10 inches tall and is appropriate in size.  I snapped the
vase into the holder and installed it in the hole for the cigar lighter.
Total cost-$3.
