Decorative/hidden ashtray for back patio?

[bubbs147]

We are moving into our new house, and have some smokers in the family. I've never owned an ash tray before! Are there any suggestions on a decorative or hidden ashtray I can acquire? Maybe one that's built into a planter or something? Thanks!

I hope you're kidding. A dish can temporarily serve as an ashtray just fine if one really needs it.

We are ex-smokers, and still have a few ashtrays for friends/parties. We just bought the super cheap plastic ones they sell at the grocery store, and put one out on a high top on the patio (away from the other seating areas) when we entertain. When the party's over, we wipe it out and store it in our outside cabinet.

M H just borrows a terracotta overflow dish from one of my potted plants when he has the occasional cigar.

I found a cute little aluminum bucket (table top sized), and filled it with colored sand.
