Ideal for small gifts - Skull bottles

Postby gad » Wed Apr 02, 2014 5:54 pm

These will make great little thank you gifts etc.
First saw these early March in a Reject Shop in a town I was visiting. They are smaller versions of the Crystal Head Vodka bottles.
I didn't get any then as I thought I'd get some at my local store when I got back home. They didn't have them. Three weeks later my wife was in a larger store several suburbs away & managed to get their last 6.
Get them at the Reject Shop, $4 each. They are pretty solid (kinda surprised me) & hold app. 350ml (I got 375 ml to the bottom of the neck). Made in China for the Reject Shop.

The photo's below are of the actual 700ml Crystal Head Vodka bottles.

If any kiwis are keen on getting some I have seen them on Trademe for a reasonable price.
Also for sale in the big Chinese shop on the main drag of Henderson opposite Catherine Place :handgestures-thumbupleft:

i got one from ebay a few years ago. the one i picked up was pretty thin and held about 700ml.

for those in WA S.O.R and know where southlake shopping centre on north lake road is (where the KFC and Coles is, not the IGA center) there is that store opposite the bakery, they have these. <---- what a badly worded sentence

Great sentence if you have local knowledge. Just like my wife would have described it.

Might be sending a mixed message to your friends uncertain about the quality of homemade spirits ;-) :teasing-tease:
