Creative Gift Idea - Milk Glass Bathroom/Vanity Accessories

I got this idea from a girl on Ebay who was selling a set of milk glass that she used as vanity containers. I thought it would make a very creative gift for the retro girl and is easy to accomplish. Imagine a cute basket full of little milk glass containers and pretty stuff to put in them.

Milk glass is really easy to find. I have a bunch in my kitchen that I collected from Goodwill. Or look at your local antique store. I would suggest purchasing it locally. You will want to make sure when you buy it that it is going to be the right size for what you are doing. The dishes can get very large and awkward for a bathroom or vanity. All of these I spotted on Ebay, but I was very careful to read the dimensions to get an idea if they would work for the project.

And there is no limit to how creative you can get with it. Just purchase milk glass containers and fill them with whatever lovely bath item or vanity necessity you can think of.

Pretty soap dresses up any bathroom. The pink soap is a handmade soap from Etsy made by The Charming Frog. Or you can splurge on a high end soap. Chanel and many other companies offer their perfume in soap form. Just check with your local department store.

I use a cup on my vanity for cotton balls and q-tips, but this would be much prettier.

This fluted milk glass dish is such a beautiful piece and perfect for holding makeup brushes, hair pins, accessories...
