French Milk Bottles Revisited

milk bottles from francePeople seeking bottles, rejoice! Remember these adorable milk bottles? I received several emails and a few comments asking about them. It’s taken me this long since the original post on french milk bottles. Sorry I took forever! I’ve been trying to find out where they’re available, so finally, here it is. They are actually widely available.

The bottles come from the French company, Comptoir de Famille, and you will be able to find them all over France (190 boutiques) by doing a search: Click here to find a store in France.

Americans, you’ll be happy to know that they are also available in the US! Search for the nearest store in the US here.

Where else? Apparently Comptoir de Famille products are all over: Belgium, Germany, Finland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Spain, Switzerland and the UK.

I recently bought a one-liter milk bottle and filled it with colorful peanut M&Ms, and the whole thing went into a picnic basket gift filled with goodies for our good friends who live nearby. When gift giving, we’ve been trying to choose things that are either edible and/or reuseable, and definitely try to avoid any big, plastic packaging – which is better for the environment!

Reusable, that is definitely a great idea for gift giving!

Damn. I am tickled pink that they have a store in Pittsburgh, which I know well and frequent periodically. I am there next week, when I visit my daughter!

I called the nearest store that carry their products but alas they do not have the milk bottles :( .

I bet you a camembert that the bottles are cheaper in the USA than in France!

i hope you’ll be able to find them at that store in pittsburgh, e.

veron, maybe you can ask a friend living near another store to order some for you?

wouldn’t want to bet a camembert but you’re probably right about the price.

It’s 3 years past, but I wanted to tell you just how much this post has meant to me b/c I have been searching EVERYWHERE for classy French milk bottles and you are the ONLY one who I found actually provided a link to where to buy them. I went onto the website and found that FarmHouse Wares carries them and they are absolutely stunning! Thank you so much! You are wonderful!
