    not sure if this will help much but have you looked at either the kilner jars in Ikea or even trawled the sauce or jam jars in the supermarket?

    There are sometimes some great shapes and you get to eat the contents :D.

    If you got the mini jam jars with the gingham lids you could make a selection of smells and put them in a box
    Officially a non-smoker but still rounder than recommended :p
  • oooh what a great idea! going to check out my supermarket tomorrow! i really like the jam jar idea:D

    Maybe even milk bottles, or any glass containers in fact- if you had them in all different shapes and sizes you could make the quirkiness and uniqueness your USP! You could market them as being environmentally friendly as you'd be recycling and it would be cheap too. If you came up with something that brought them altogether to look like a cohesive line of products like a really good label, or even just a ribbon tied round the neck of each, they would look delightful I'm sure!
