Target's Garden Department generally leaves us a little underwhelmed, but in the main store we saw these white ceramic pots that were simple and sweet. We'll add them to our list of Best White Plant Containers. If you're bored with white, they also come in yellow.
They're 10 cm across and sell for $2.99 a piece. The white pot also came in a 14 cm size that sells for $4.99. Keep in mind these don't have drainage holes, so they're only for hiding another pot inside (or being really careful about how much you water).

seriously, you measured in centimeters?
haha on the centimeter comment...yeah.
I have almost bought the yellow ones 3 different times but have stopped short simply because they do not have holes in the bottom and I really just want to use them as planters but all my plants tend to die when not drained properly. Putting another container - one with holes - inside this one seems a bit excess. I might as well just by a nice pot with holes in the first place.
I found something similar at IKEA years ago. A bit more angular (and with drainage holes.)
If a pot doesn't have drainage holes, just fill the bottom with pebbles or pieces from a broken clay pot. As long as the roots system/soil is elevated from the bottom of the pot, your plant should survive.
I find it more annoying having a drainage hole and needing to find a cute plate to put underneath the pot. But that's because I only have indoor plants having no deck in NYC.
The Ikea Bladet pots are so much better. More minimal and they have a rubber stopper to plug the drainage hole if you want it water tight (and it is really water tight). Plus they come with saucers and are inexpensive. We have them all over the house.

I didn't even think about the cm measurement! It's just how they had it marked at Target. And great point about the pebbles--you can also use packing peanuts if it's a big pot that you don't want to have weigh a million pounds (or kilos). Thanks for the tip robert, I'll be checking those out shortly!
Just because I looked it up, no one else should have to!
10 cm = 4 inches
14 cm = 5.5 inches
The smaller ones could make cute deep bowls.
