Recycled Glassware by Bottlehood

Tuesday, February 1st, 2011

When I saw these awesome glasses made by Bottlehood ($15+) I was instantly reminded of Mandles.  However, given the rediculous amounts of beer consumed at my place I think I’ll have way more of a use for these!  As you can see they are eco-friendly, “upcycled” glassware made from recycled wine, beer, soda and liquor bottles and you can get them in tumblers, juice glasses and vases.  It is pretty sweet to think you could be drinking that Dead Guy Ale from a glass that it was meant for.  Its like destiny or something…

A little birdie tells me that a couple of those tumblers will have a new home soon. Read More

Mandle – Man candle in a recycled beer bottle

Sunday, February 28th, 2010

These have possibly the greatest candles ever!  I know that sounds a little gay but hold on…  In the words of Koi Kouture (the artist behind this creation) these are Mandles($28).  What the hell is a mandle you ask?  Well let let me explain.  A mandle is a 220z Rogue beer bottle turned into a candle holder.  Pretty kick ass right?  Well the mandle magic doesn’t stop there.  Mandles are candles that smell like manly things because vanilla scented candles in teacups are for chicks!  You pick the scent and the bottle

Here are the scents you can choose from:

HOOTERS WAITRESS SCENTED: Suntan Oil with the faint smell of old deep fryer oil. 
HUNGRY MAN TV DINNER SCENTED: Roast Beef with Creamed Corn (real enough to make you throw up in your mouth a little)
STRIPPER BREATH SCENTED: Watermelon Jolly Rancher with a little stale smoke
HAM & CHEESE SANDWICH ON RYE SCENTED: Ham and cheese on rye…with a tiny bit of mustard. This scent is awesome! 
MUNCHIES SCENTED: Fritos with an underlying layer of dried pot and a tiny bit of smoke. 
CARNY: Cotton Candy and Corn Dogs…with a little motor oil.
TRAILER PARK: Motor Oil, Fresh Dirt and despair (not really)
CAMPING: Roasted Marshmallow and campfire
OH NO, IT’S THE COPS!: Coffee and Donuts
ROAD TRIP: Beef Jerky
OLD SPICE (Because the new commercials are amazing!)
PINK STARBURST: Just like the pink starburst! 
SPRING BREAK: Suntan oil
CRAZY OLD FISHERMAN: Fishing Boat and Old Spice
AXE BODY SPRAY: Just like the one your little brother in college wears.
FRESH CUT GRASS: Men love nothing more than mowing the lawn and drinking a beer. 
LEATHER: Just like the leather couch in a bachelor pad
