Looking for Inspiration - Mothers day bottles

MrsSmith2013

Hi all,

I have bought an old fashioned milk crate with milk bottles for mothers day for my mum and hubbys mum, but have a run out of ideas for what to fill them with!

There are six in each, and so far I only have thought of the following:

1. Sweets
2. Decant bubble bath into one
3. Flowers

Am struggling with the last three, because the tops are quite narrow and limited to what will fit in!

Do any of your crafty MSE'ers have any cheap/free suggestions for me?!

Bit late for this year- I was going to suggest home made toffee vodka or limoncello but it won't get made in time! Think the lemon had to be left 5 days before straining.In which case their favourite spirit tipple?
Loose leaf fancy tea?
Specialist coffee or fill with some cappucino/ chocolate instant packets?- I think you can get those at a reasonable price.
Some form of sauce- I'm thinking the sweet kind that would go on desserts or ice cream

What about Jam or Marmalade? You could melt some in a saucepan, and pour into the bottles.

Cookie or cake mix
Bath salts
Not too late to make Toffee vodka with Werther's if you crush up the sweets and keep shaking (or pop the bottle of mixture in the dishwasher and put through a warm cycle).
