<p>Since the handle of a jug helps us when we pour liquid, the Spanish design studio GR Lab created a attachment that perfectly fits the universal coil of any plastic bottle. Plus it adds a touch of color to your table. I like the fact that it is a simple way to reuse the plastic bottles. When we think about it, we could reuse plastic bottles to serve fresh lemonade or ice tea.</p>
<p>I read on Inhabitat that the Aqua Jar for Balvi was launched at last month’s Valencia Design Week. It is not yet on the Web site of <a href="http://www.balvi.com/" target="_blank">Balvi</a>. The Web site of <a href="http://www.grlabstudio.com/" target="_blank">GR Lab</a> is more than sparse on information. This is all the information I could find of this new product.</p>

<p>I bought these jars for my husband&#8217;s birthday party. I needed them for setting the dessert table. They were, and still are, on clearance at Pier 1 Imports. The chalkboard band is very practical. I really like them. They are a good size. I can fit 1 kg of nuts in the medium sizes (I have three of those). If you are looking for glass canisters, check out if they are some left at a store near you.</p>

<p>I have been obsessed about the <strong>Happy Pills</strong> Candy shop since this morning.  </p>
<p>It gave me the idea of a DIY party favor to seal trendily my <a href="http://athome.kimvallee.com/2007/09/mad-scientist-halloween-party-theme/">Mad Scientist party</a>. It is trivial to give candy party favors at Halloween, so be original with the containers. </p>
<h4>What do you need for this DIY project?</h4>
<ul>
<li>An assortment of pharmaceutical jars. The brown ones fit better into the Mad Scientist party theme. If you cannot get a hold on pharmaceutical jars, opt for the basic spice jars and attach a dark poisonous label to look more macabre.</li>
<li>A box of printable sticker labels at the office supply store.</li>
<li>A color printer and a program to design your labels. You can also go at the art &amp; craft store. They should have on stock lots of patterned labels. Simply handwrite the text on the decorative labels with a large black pen.</li>
</ul>
<p>Affix warning stickers with phrases like <em>Can be dangerous for your waistline</em> or <em>Can increase your visits to the dentist</em>. When you buy the jars, select the one with a wider opening. Try to bring a sample of your jars with you when you go to the candy store to make sure everything fits together.  </p>
<p>Those should be a hit. I am sure your guests will remember your Halloween candy party favors for years to come. </p>
<h4>What is the experience at the real Happy Pills shop?</h4>
<p>You enter the narrow shop to be greeted by a long wall filled with gummy candies of all varieties. You pick what size prescription bottle you want and fill the bottle up to your liking. You seal the bottle with a tamper-proof cap and add the label that best suits your mood. The labels are in Spanish or in English.</p>
<p>A post by <strong>MoCo Loco</strong> from this summer supplied the insights for my shopping guide at Happy Pills shop. If you take a trip to Barcelona, you will find this small shop next to the Architecture College.  </p>
