As we head into the final holiday push to get gifts all picked out, wrapped and even shipped off to loved ones that won’t be able to be with us this season, we thought you might want to see a few of the product shots we’ve been working on over here at Bottle Your Brand. We’re pretty proud of our new product shots featuring holiday labels and ideas, so check them out and please, let us know what you think!
Party Inspiration: Balloons!
How adorable is our latest custom invitation design? We love the bright colors and vintage-feeling balloon theme – its perfect for any kid’s birthday party – boy or girl! We can’t think of a kid that doesn’t love balloons and the theme would make for such fun decor at a party. This custom label set comes with a custom invitation too, so if you have a birthday party to plan, you might want to take a look at all of the adorable inspiration below! Our personal favorite are the cupcakes and the balloon wreath. So creative!

Homemade Gifts for the Holiday Season!
We love the idea of making homemade gifts for the people on our lists this holiday season – its thoughtful, meaningful and best of all, affordable! If you have a special recipe or food that you make better than anyone else you know, chances are, someone would love to receive it for a gift. Add a custom label (from Bottle Your Brand, of course!) and the gift becomes personal and extra cute – after all, who doesn’t love pretty packaging?
When we ran across this recipe for Peppermint Hot Fudge Sauce on Kitchn this week, we got the urge to whip up a batch of our own, create an adorable label and hand them out as party favors and presents to our family and friends this season. Check out the recipe! Sounds delicious…
Rhoda’s Peppermint Hot Fudge Sauce
Yields 4 cups
2 c. unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 c. sugar
1 c. brown sugar
1/4 t. Kosher salt
2 c. heavy cream
1 c. unsalted butter, cut into pieces
2 t. peppermint extract (substitute vanilla, if you don’t want the mint flavor)
Directions: In a double boiler over medium heat stir in cocoa, sugars and salt. Add the cream and butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the butter is melted and the sauce comes together and is smooth and glossy. Bring to a boil for 1 minute. Then, remove the bowl from the heat and let cool for 5 minutes. Stir in the peppermint extract. Store in the fridge and re-heat when ready to use.
Storage notes: This sauce is great to packages in glass jars for gifts. When pouring the sauce from the bowl into the jar it is helpful to use a kitchen funnel if you have one available. This sauce will stay in the fridge for up to two weeks or more.
Serving ideas: In addition to ice-cream, this sauce is excellent drizzled over slices of pound cake, cheesecake or a meringue. The version made with vanilla extract is also delicious served with poached fruit.

Ok, so we know that Halloween only happened yesterday, but its already time to start thinking about the next big holidays and planning ahead. We’ve been seeing holiday parties and ideas all over the place already, so we’re jumping on the bandwagon and saying, better start preparing and ordering your custom wine labels for the holiday season, today! It’s a busy season, so planning ahead is always a good idea.
Custom labeled bottles of wine can be great as hostess gifts during the onslaught of holiday cocktail parties, or work as a beautiful and personal touch and addition to any table at holiday dinner parties. Giving custom wine as a gift to friends and family is a nice touch (especially if you make your own!), and so is simply spicing up the looks of your drink table or bar at your annual Christmas party. There are so many options and reasons to get custom wine labels during the holidays, so check out some of our favorite holiday labels and get to ordering yours. We can’t wait to see what you come up with this season!
Happy Halloween from Bottle Your Brand!
Our friends over at Party Box Design always throw the best parties – filled with fun, creative details, beautiful decorations and to our delight, exquisitely designed custom labels! A few weeks ago, Jessica from Party Box Design put together a spooktacular Halloween party with sweet treats, kids in costumes, face painting and even a fantastic bar for the adults. We were lucky enough to create the custom labels Jessica designed for the bottled water, beer and wine at the party – and they turned out so great. Take a look at her party and our products in action, below, and for more be sure to check out their blog. Also, a big thank you to Adele Lee for taking such great shots of all the party details!
We love the color palette Jessica chose – traditional orange and black but spiced up and made a little more modern and fun-loving with the light blue accents.
Isn’t the pumpkin filled with ice a creative way to keep your brews cold at a Halloween party? Fun touch! The chevron pumpkin is pretty chic too.
There are those oh-so-popular cupcake push-ups again! Great party and thoughtful details, Jessica! Can’t wait to do another one with you again soon.
