Unique bottles for 375/750 ML for the holidays
Couldn't find a better place to post this so "off-topic" it is.
I'm making some liquor gift baskets for a few direct family members this year for the holidays. Baskets will contain everything from a couple different wines to vodka, whiskey to my homemade limoncello and similar liquors to Grand Marnier/Cointreau clones made as a mix of homemade Tripple Sec and brandy.
The wines and general spirits will be packed in traditional 750 ML wine/spirit bottles and/or Nordic Spirits type glassware.
I'm looking for a few more exotic bottles of either 375 or 750 for more "elegant" spirits. Nothing over the top but if you can picture what a typical small bottle of Grand Marnier looks like you will have a rough idea what I'm shooting for. Doesn't need to look like GM but that's just an idea or sort of "different" looking bottle I'm looking for.
If anyone has any ideas for cool bottles that can fit a label of some type for some "exotic" liquors I'd appreciate any/all ideas.

Not sure of your location.
If in the US, I would look for a Dollar Tree nearby.
You can also order online, but shipping would be an added cost.
I always enjoy this bottle for small samples:

I was using some of those little maple syrup bottles one year.
God I ate a lot of pan cakes that year.

I actually did a search of dollartree website and missed this one. I do believe this will work quite well for me. Hopefully my local dollartree store will have them in stock so I can see/hold them.
These would be a lot cheaper then I was planing to have to spend as well.
Great find and thanks a lot!

Berlin packaging has some variety and case (6-12 bottle) minimums. Low compared to most commercial sellers. Price per bottle isn’t bad, shipping on small qtys isn’t great.

Do any of you guys know roughly how much those dollar tree bottles hold in OZ or ML?

Thanks Irish.
That's about perfect. Now watch my none of the local stores around me not have them!
