So cute, Nupur :)

Gurpreet January 19, 2012 at 12:59 pm

Thanks Nupur :jaiho: . But they are tightly sealed with the steel cap which is difficult to remove. i also fear if i use some hard tools i might break the bottle.. how do u cope this situation???

Hey Gurpreet…since you’re into scents and perfumes you can always re- use these bottles as aromatherapy diffusers. All you need to do is fill the bottle with your favourite aromatherapy oil and get some Reed stick diffusers and place them in this bottle…you’d have created your very own Aromatherapy Reed Diffuser :) Only thing is you need to place these in a relatively smaller room or area of the house (such as the area where everyone keeps their shoes) to make them more effective. Hope you’ll try it, cheers!

hi gurpreet.
1- Fill them with colorful artificial pearls or mini colorful stones(u can fill wid ur useless artificial pearl or stone bracelet and neck piece)……. and display them..

2nd- refill them with water and fruit or flower essence and use as a spray to removing bad odor from room and cooler also.

woww… i never knew so much could be done with empty perfume bottles! i give mine into raddi. once my bf gifted me a perfume, i have kept the empty bottle in my treasure box :rotfl:

Reply

Nikita January 19, 2012 at 10:17 pm

wow me too…i trash most of them unless i have some thing emotional to do with it.
one of the bottles was a gift from my ex-bf i still keep it safely with my stuff .

Reply

Pragnyadeepta January 19, 2012 at 4:00 pm

If the bottle is interesting….I keep it and stash it with the rest of the hoard….or if it was gifted…I keep it then too.
But half of the time,I just throw em away. :P

I dont feel like throwing them out,so I keep them in a carton. Once in a while, I do take them out and admire their shapes. For me the shape of the perfume bottle is perhaps as important as the scent of the bottle.

Noorie January 20, 2012 at 6:35 am
