You can even decorate the bottle to make it look extra cute as a gift!
Bonus Tip: Recycling
If you still have a lot of pill bottles piling up and aren’t sure what to do with them, consider recycling them properly. Many pharmacies and recycling centers accept pill bottles for recycling or reusing. Check with your local center to find out if they have a special program for pill bottle collection.
Final Thoughts

Not only are you giving the bottle a second life, but you’re also reducing waste and contributing to a more sustainable environment. So next time you finish your medication, give that pill bottle a second look—you just might find the perfect way to reuse it!
