Great upcycle ideas with your old liquor bottles
Old is the New
From being the centerpiece of celebrations at occasion and events, to a romantic meal, and friendly gathering there’s nothing as sad as the last drop from your favorite liquor. There’s still plenty of life to be had yet in the bottle, rather than sending the glass to recycling or disposing of it, a little upcycling can offer a whole range of uses for growing an entire miniature garden, and adding a touch of creativity to your environment. Here are some ideas
Terrarium
A fun upcycle project for gin and whiskey drinkers, old bottles can be carefully turned into terrariums, creating a little garden in a bottle. Make sure to choose a clear, wide bottle to make filling and arranging a little bit easier, and we’d recommend using a Gin bottle which comes prepared with all the essential steps and advice. Try it for yourself and complement your home with a little touch of nature.
Reed diffusers
Turn your empty gin bottle into a beautifully fragranced reed diffuser. Fill your bottle with 350ml of mineral oil, 50 drops of essential oil, then why not add 3 tbsp’s of gin (stronger the better) to put a juniper fragranced twist to it. Mix all in a jug, then pour into your empty bottle. Then put 3-5 reed diffuser sticks in , and then you’re good to go. Remember to rotate your sticks every few days to keep the fragrance going.
Flower Vases
Using gin bottles as flower vases gives a wonderful rustic effect and best of all, they don’t require any modification to be upcycled! For the Instagram fan, a stylish bottle paired with an elegant bunch of flowers makes for a picture-perfect snap. They’re also becoming increasingly popular for wedding decorations, or just for setting on a dressing table. The bottle itself will go nicely with colorful flowers; why not pick a gin with floral botanicals & match the botanicals with what flowers you put into it. Genius!
Bottle Lamps
If you’re looking to upgrade your home décor, regenerate your gin bottle into a classy table lamp, this upcycling technique can be pretty tricky to do most especially when you’re starting from scratch. This idea is brilliant You won’t ever want to purchase an ordinary lamp again. However, there are really great YouTube tutorial videos that can give guidelines for a good starting point:
Garden Lights
We may have a while to wait, but once the evenings draw out again, soft lights can add an elegant touch to a garden party or al fresco dinner. Gin bottles are a great choice, robust enough to withstand any temperamental downpours and keep the lights inside dry. Once you’ve got the bottle and lid clean, fill it with some battery powered LED lights – these specially designed lights are a great choice for their easy on/off switch, but small fairy lights will work well too.

Do you think influencer marketing works for business owners?
Celebrity endorsements are a marketing strategy designed for businesses of all various forms whereby a celebrity or influencer is appointed as a spokesperson to help promote a business, brand, product, or services. Studies has proven that celebrity endorsements can increase a company’s sales by an average of 4%, compared to its competitors. From a buyer’s perspective, customers are likely to most times patronize a business or brand simply because someone they idolize, or trust is associated with such brand, that’s why celebrity endorsement is so effective. Celebrities can often persuade a buyer to click purchase even when they have a range of other options or vendors to purchase from.
The endorsements should also have well-drafted clause to stipulate all conditions of the endorsement. The contract should cover: Exclusivity obligations that ensure the celebrity will not wear, promote, or use competitor products, e.g., showcasing a competitor’s brand or products at high-profile events. Termination rights stemming from the actions of the celebrity which tarnishes or harms the brands image. Termination if the brand and the celebrity conflict in relation to a specific social, environmental, or charitable cause. For example, a model is found to use drugs with a brand that works heavily with drug-use prevention. Mitigation measures that must be used to limit the damage of the brand if the celebrity has acted or spoken inappropriately. For example, the celebrity must present a public apology or appear at press conferences to address the issue directly. Trademark and intellectual property rights should be clearly stated in the contract. This may refer to how the celebrity’s image and name are used, and who has control over the trademark and intellectual property rights if the endorsement contract ends.
DO YOU KNOW ABOUT MORAL CLAUSES?
Moral clause is written in the contract specifically to prohibit certain behavior in the personal life of the endorser. It attempts to protect the public and private image of both parties involved in the contract. In essence, one party to the contract is leveraging on the other party’s good name or reputation. The moral clause usually deals with objectionable behavior ,including sexual acts, drug use, scandal, or public dispute.
