Something romantic to put in an impossible bottle?

Question

I bought a ship in a bottle kit off ebay and well, it's not as great as I thought it would be--the "ship" isn't very detailed etcetera. It was cheap but I figure I got the dang bottle, so I might as well try and put something else cool in there. I've heard about scissors, knots, decks of cards, etc. but does anyone have any ideas of y'know--maybe some things that are more cool that a scissors or a deck of cards? Thanks. And actually--I just thought what do you think something romantic for my girlfriend would be that I could put in there something that wouldn't spoil like a flower so thanks again.

Ok, an impossible bottle has to have something that would seem impossible to get in there. Confetti and slips of paper are obviously easy to get into a bottle. Pandasex is an idiot.

Answer 1

Watson had some great ideas, here are some others to consider.
I think that this could be very romantic.
You could turn this into a lifetime of memories if you wanted to.
What about transferring a photographic image of the both of you onto the back side of the bottle, then you could utilize this bottle repeatedly leaving love notes or trinkets. You would use(inkjet-printed image on Epson glossy photo paper #SO41649 ) or (transfer paper for inkjet printers).
This product is found in art supply stores, craft stores and office supply stores.

This bottle could become a lasting memory that you both utilize later on in your relationship.
Imagine when the time is right for you, you could leave her an engagement ring, later on she could leave an announcement stating that you are both expecting or the ultrasound or a sonogram image of your new one.
Down the road it could become the message centre for the household.
Later in life It would be filled full of memories to share and tell to your grandchildren.

An elegant idea for the exterior of the bottle is to write something like Imagine, her name, or whatever that would be
special to you in glass etching cream.You would apply this to the outside of the bottle.
You could etch several meaningfull words all over the bottle. It is a very easy project to do. All that you would need is etching cream and stencils. Even cheaper would be to purchase stick on letter of the words that you want displayed on the bottle from the dollar store or Craft Shops.They have different fonts that are available.
Or, more you could download ones that you like for free from

You would have to completely cover these paper letters that you download in clear tyetac sticky paper and trim around the letters, then with repositional spray adhesive, attach them to the bottle and etch over them. You remove them when the cream has dried.
Either way you choose to do this ,you would have an opache background with the words in clear glass.

I have attached some webpages with instructions should you decide to try either of these ideas.

Answer 2

How I would answer this best really would depend on how creative your abilities were and how steady your hands are. Because if you really are serious about building something inside a bottle then you will need both the ability and the steady hand.

As to something romantic to put inside the bottle:

How about two young lovers sitting on a park bench? Perhaps you can include a stone fence behind them or an overhanging tree?

Or how about the silhouette of the skyline of some romantic city like Paris? Or you could turn the bottle upright and perhaps have the young couple slow-dancing? Or walking hand in hand down some romantic avenue?

It really shouldn't be that difficult for you to come up with your own idea. If you can imagine something that both you and your girlfriend would find romantic then it could be considered an image you will want to preserve for a lifetime.

Answer 3

kiss a hundreds slips of various colored paper, fold and place in there, or roll them ion scrolls and tie with ribbions,
decorate the bottle with a couple of nice ribbons. maybe even write sweet nothings on the kissed paper.

give her the bottle and tell her something sappy, like 'for every time i cant be here' or some stuff like that....

she will eat it up. maybe write a love poem on label for the bottle.

Answer 4

different sizes of confetti hearts with her name on the larger ones.

If that don't work, whisper the words " I love you" into the bottle and quickly stopper it!!

Answer 5

LOOOK there is no way that is going to be romantic.....u need to rethink this whole present thing ok........write her something about how u feel, a puppy, even a hamster would be more romantic than that...please dont give her that. Im telling u this because i care
