Bottlehood – Review (And a Giveaway)


Are you looking for a place to buy great and unique gifts? Well I have found a place like no other. It is a place for great upcycled glass gifts. Here is a little more information about Bottehood from the website:

BottleHood’s glassware is made from wine, beer, liquor and soda bottles recycled from restaurants, bars, homes and events in the community. Our repurposed tumblers, juice glasses, vases, pendant beads and light fixtures are all eco-friendly products. Created out of a passion to create local jobs, stimulate our local retail economy and help our environment, BottleHood’s success is a reflection of neighborhood sentiment and support for what BottleHood stands for... a pride in our neighborhood, our local craftsmen and entrepreneurs, and our social responsibility.

There are so many great gift ideas on the Bottlehood site, here are a few of my favorites:

 Wine Bottle Candle Holders

Amber Cheese Tray from Recycled Bottles

 Grey Goose Vodka Vase from Recycled Bottles

 

I was very fortunate to be able to review this great necklace:


 This 3 strand necklace features 3 different recycled glasses - Bombay Sapphire Gin, Green Coke, and Clear Glass. The bottle pendants have been tumbled for a sea glass style look.

The beads on this necklace can be moved around so you can wear all 3 bottles on separate strands or 2 bottles on 1 strand. 

 
This company make so many great items from glassware, jewelry, to candles, and more. All are recycled or upcycled items. We all know what recycleing means. But what exactly does upcycled mean? Well it is basically taking something that you would throw out and finding a way to make it into something else, instead of recycling it. You use the item for something else.

I received a great necklace that was made from bottles. So it was bottles that were trash, and now it is a beautiful necklace. So do you now understand how upcycling works? Isn’t this a great idea? Why have this stuff fill a landfill? When you can make some great items from bottles!  From a necklace to a vase. There are so many things these bottles can be used for. I love the “flat” bottles that can be used for cheese trays. Who would have thought of that? I think it is so cool. And will look great at a party.

I wore my necklace at work and got a bunch of complements on it. It is a conversation starter that is for sure. When I said the beautlyful rings were from bottles… my co-workers were amazed. They really liked the necklace. So if you are looking for a unique gift for someone or for yourself. Bottlehood id your place.
