Where to Get Bottles for Homemade Vanilla
ByI’ve had many questions about where to find small bottles for your homemade vanilla.
After quite a bit of research, I ended up buying mine from Specialty Bottle. You can also take a look at SKS Bottle. Both of these resources are similar in price (when you figure in shipping costs) and are very reasonable.
You want to buy the amber bottles. Clear bottles are not as good for your vanilla. I recommend either the 4 ounce or the 8 ounce bottles.
Also, if you want some super cute labels to put on the bottles of vanilla you’re giving away, I recommend Delight Design. Char will custom make your labels to look any way you want. She does fabulous work.
AND, don’t forget to complete your gift with a set of What to Do With Vanilla Recipe Cards. You can still get them here for a super sale price!
Thank you! I just ordered some!

Laura – are you getting the bottles with the $14 plus shipping rate?? I’m confused at your final calculation for the cost of your vanilla when the bottles themselves end up being almost $2 each? Am I doing something wrong? I’m excited to make this as gifts but the cost doesn’t seem to match up right?

Oh boy, it’s been so long since I ordered, I truly don’t remember what I paid for shipping or how that all worked. When I calculated the cost of vanilla in my other post, I wasn’t adding in the cost of the bottle, I forgot. I’ve asked most of the recipients of my vanilla to give the bottle back to me when they’re done!! Hopefully they’ll remember!

Do you think blue bottles would work as well as the amber?

Do the bottles need to be glass or plastic?
Thanks so much I started making mine in June and can’t wait to surprise everyone at Christmas with these!!
