Unique Romantic Gift: Letter in a Bottle

We've recently discussed tips for writing a love poem, love letters, and confessing your feelings in a letter, so it was quite a coincidence that reader Renee's website had the perfect unique gift to tie in with it all: an old fashioned romantic message in a bottle, available here in many different styles.

Having never seen anything like this before, I was taken by the pure aesthetic beauty of each bottle's shape and color-tone. Imagine having your love poem or letter delivered on rolled parchment, bottled and encased as if it came straight from the Renaissance!

  2. Heyyy! I think I remember you having some bottles before. How did this desire for bottles begin?

  4. I know! These bottles are so romantic I think I would find any decent excuse to give one to somebody... maybe even do the secret admirer thing.

  5. Hi! About those gelatin-free Skittles, there in a couple countries in the Middle East - and they taste great! They have the Original and Sour flavors - both gelatin free. I'm also trying to get my hands on some gelatin free Starburst and gummy bears! mmm..

  6. Imagine that! I haven't had Skittles for years because of the gelatin, and I miss Starburst... but the gummy bears are what I miss the most! I saw the gelatin-free gummy worms on your blog and I was amazed. The situation is very interesting!

  7. Yeah you're totally right. It slipped my mind that when it comes to gelatin it's an issue that Muslims, Jews and Vegetarians all hold in common. I edited the info to include Vegetarian on the products which were okay. I think someone might have seen the link and contacted me for some too, they wiped out my Original Skittles and all I have are some sour ones. Could you provide a link for where you posted my webpage on? Thanks a lot!

  8. Hey Qupid!

    Great to see that my Vegan badge is getting some use. Yours is the first site I've seen the badge on, but then again I haven't been looking. Thanks for linking back to Byteful.com so more people can learn about the veg badges.

    Best of luck on your continued blogging adventure. :)
