    Regarding your request about bottles, is there anything suitable here?

  • Thanks everyone! Pie was lovely, am really embracing the old-style way of living!

    I had a chilli vodka once and it was absolutly fantastic so figured I can make my own. My mum lives in germany so she will pick up the Vodka in the russian supermarket for about 4 euros a bottle so should work out cheap!

    If there is a branch of Oil and Vinegar near you, they sell all sorts of bottles - the idea is that you buy a bottle and fill it with their oil or vinegar, but there is no reason you can't just buy the bottles. Our local branch closed down recently, I am quite disappointed!

    Have to admit we're recycling bottles to use for ours......e.g Partner received a set of lots of little bottles of flavoured syrups to go in coffees as a present last year. The labels scrubbed off really easily, they've got screw-tops & we've saved all of them for making pretty little bottles of damson gin & blackberry vodka this Christmas. You can use quite a plain bottle if you're going to jazz it up with a label & a ribbon.

  • Try jamjarstore.com . They have lovely bottles and jars and are much cheaper than I have found elsewhere. Customer service is great and you get fast delivery.
  • TKMaxx have a good selection of really pretty glass bottles.

  • Hi,

    Was wondering if anyone knew the best place to get small bottles to give damson gin as presents for Christmas? I need about 10 smallish bottles (50-100ml) that I am going to fill with damsin gin and use as table presents on Christmas day.

    I have found these online: http://www.miniatureglassbottles.co.uk/b1.html

    They are the sort of thing I'm after but ideally I would like a few different styles to jazz them up a bit. I have seen novelty shaped bottles in gift shops too but they are always so expensive!

    Any ideas greatly appreciated.

    Thanks!
