Oil & Vinegar's nifty
chalkboard bottle can make
a versatile and personalized gift
Fill the empty bottle with your homemade gift, or with any of the store's 28 oils and vinegars from the Amphora Wall. Prices range from $1.25 to $11 with choices such as simple Castello Zacro olive oil from Greece at $5 or a cabernet sauvignon red wine vinegar at $1.25. (All prices are per 100 milliliters.)
If you want to get more creative, fill it with your homemade cranberry vodka or massage oil blended with a few drops of essential oils. But do remember to seal it.
What we like best is that the chalkboard lets you personalize a mini message. The 500-milliliter bottle comes with a cork, a spout and even chalk. How convenient is that?
