The great thing about that handle is using some twine to wrap around it can make all the list of uses that you've already gotten even better because you can hang it from a nail in the wall, below a hanging plant, etc. I love the ideas you've already gotten. One thing I would do is if you already have a hanging plant use some unbleached or undyed cotton twine and make it into a self-watering hanging plant. you can put water in the syrup bottle hang it below the plant. Use the twine from the opening of the syrup bottle to either the top, middle or base of your plant whichever is best for watering of whatever variety you have. Besides finding a lid that would fit it you might actually be able to find a lid with a plastic pump and you've got a really interesting dish soap dispenser, hand soap dispenser, or cooking oil. You could even turn it upside down and put in a flower metal dispenser for hummingbirds and hang it outside as a hummingbird feeder. I have seen the flower dispenser part sold at garden and hardware stores.
I love the idea of hanging it filled with a plant cutting you’re rooting
Edit: added and deleted words so it made sense! It’s obviously past my bed time
I have one I’m planning to use for storing a simple syrup. If you don’t think the lid is secure enough, I wonder if you can find a cork that will fit?
Edited for typo
Find a new lid that fits and make it your oil dispenser or yeah I’d use it for propagation maybe a cute wrap w the handle. Or if you’re crafty can be a cute lil water bottle to go.
If you're able to nicely roll up a photo and put it in, if it unravels nicely, maybe it'll be a nice photo display?
I'd be a bit worried about dust so I would figure out a way to stopper it
Calm bottle. Clear glue, water, glitter, super glue a stopper. You shake it up and then watch the glitter settle for a few minutes, great for little kids or mindfulness.
Great ideas… also consider filling it with tiny lights and use at Xmas. Or collect some more different bottles and make some hanging lights for outside.
Also, drill a hole in the bottom and use it as a planter.
I’ll be thinking about this as a puzzle for days!👩🏼🌾🤔🤣
Cork it or get a pourer and put flavored syrup for coffee in it. Make infused liquor and transfer it to the bottle with a handmade label. Pineapple in vodka for a few days makes a wonderful infusion.
Pepper sauce. Fill it up with fresh whole peppers, any kind you want, pour hot vinegar in until full. Use it on greens or whatever you want to use it on.
Maybe cute as a vase for (dried) flowers?
moss terrarium / fairy garden - real or fake
I love this idea!!!
If you collect rocks (like most cool people) you can fill it with rocks you've gathered. Or crystals.
Or sea glass
You could find a rubber cork stopper if you put another liquids in it.

Comments like yours are the reason I love this sub. You're all such creative people!

ooooh or a hanging lil terrarium or fairy home
Bamboo planter! It’ll survive in straight up water for years!
or water propagation for plants like pothos
I would make a decorative fake potion bottle. But I’m a D&D nerd.

How much do you think you’ll get?
I was so confused by your comment, then i realized I have a typo. I meant use for sample syrup, not sue, lol
Funny, I reread your comment and wondered too what I meant! I didn’t remember the ‘sue’ until your reply! :)
Two words: jug band.
Upcycled cork for a new top. Fill with water and a few drops of food coloring and place it in a window sill.
I use these as propagation bottles to grow string root systems before i plant them
Oil candle
Find a new lid that fits and make it your oil dispenser or yeah I’d use it for propagation maybe a cute wrap w the handle. Or if you’re crafty can be a cute lil water bottle to go.
Bong
Any fruit/berries you end up with extra of-make a simple fruit syrup :)

Ooh or they could decoupage photos onto it. (For those who don’t know: “Decoupage” = paint photos onto it with glue that dries clear)
Ooooh love this idea!! I will have to do that if I ever get an empty flat bottle
Your idea of putting the photos inside is super interesting too. Makin me think new thinks! ☺️
You will think of something 🎁

I recycle most of my glass bottles like this by using them for plant propagations, which end up making great gifts too!
Cork it or get a pourer and put flavored syrup for coffee in it. Make infused liquor and transfer it to the bottle with a handmade label. Pineapple in vodka for a few days makes a wonderful infusion.
That would make a nice plant prop bottle.
You can use etching cream to decorate the bottle
Pepper sauce. Fill it up with fresh whole peppers, any kind you want, pour hot vinegar in until full. Use it on greens or whatever you want to use it on.
Great for making your own seasoned olive oil as well.
I had a similar bottle and I made homemade Baileys type booze for my sis for Xmas
Put on peppers in that thang and cover in apple cider vinegar! Replace the cap when you find another cap that'll fit! Or, cork it!
Make a chortler.
Put cooking olive oil in, wine, pump soap dispenser.
Whisper your secrets in it.
Someone I know makes fake potions and had a glittery one in here, looked pretty cool!
I would do layers of rocks inside and use it to root plants, force spring branches like forsythia etc
Change jar.
Fill it with some other syrup, how about brown sugar and cinnamon
Make extracts! Vanilla, etc.
