Packaging Possibilities

IMG_6641I am a self-confessed packaging whore.

Please forgive me.

When I see a cool or cute new bottle, container or jar, I buy it even if I have no plans for what to put in it. 

I’m working through these issues.  Promise.

So when I saw these adorable mini roll-on bottles, I obviously had to get them.

  And I even had a plan for what to put in them: trial size versions of my Head-Aid oil.  And possibly some perfume synergies.

Unfortunately, the bottles are a bit more stout than I expected they would be.  The chubbiness does make them all the more adorable, but it also makes them too wide to comply with Canada Post’s wacky 2cm rule.  Instead of being able to ship these to my Etsy customers at a cost of $2.50, they will cost $6.00 to ship. Sadface.

I could also toss them in as a bonus with the full-sized product.

There are always possibilities! Any other ideas for me?
