Grandparent and grandchild, sharing a bottle
By Bottle Me · Updated
Distance between grandparents and grandchildren is one of the quiet griefs of modern families. A shared creative object — simple enough for a child, engaging enough for a grandparent — bridges it.
The two-generation bottle
Choose a shared bottle theme and invite your partner by code, QR code or link. Fill together in real time, or answer separately and compare the duo report.
The story bottles
The grandparent generates a bottle from a story — “the farm I grew up on” — and the grandchild fills it. The colouring becomes a way of telling and receiving family history.
The archive across years
Shared bottles accumulate across childhood. By the time the grandchild grows up, the archive is a record of the relationship — filled together, turn by turn.
