Product Description

 

Are you tired of gifting the same old bottle of whiskey or gin to your loved ones? Why not add a touch of sophistication with this extra special gift? Purchase the empty bottle adorned with a Military Insignia and a matching tumbler, and then decant their favourite drink into the bottle for a truly personalised and unique present on their special day.

-PLEASE TAKE NOTE THAT THESE BOTTLES ARE ONLY COMPATIBLE WITH HANDWASHING.

All of our products are custom-made specifically for you at the time of your order. We take pride in creating unique, one-of-a-kind items rather than mass-producing them in a factory.

The colouring and emblem dimensions may differ slightly from the images shown, as they may appear differently depending on your monitor settings.

By being a MOD licence holder, I ensure that all badges and insignia are used in accordance with the terms and conditions of my licence. Additionally, 8.5% of each sale is donated back to the MOD on a yearly basis, who then allocates the funds to various military welfare charities.

My Battle with the Black Dog...

TheCraftyBlackdog has been created from my own battle with the Black Dog - a term most commonly used to describe a state of depression.

This was something I had unknowingly been battling for over 20 years following my time in the military. It wasn’t until I became a mother and I could no longer do the things I used to do, to escape, that things started to unravel and I had to ask for help, that was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do, making that admission.

I first became interested in arts and crafts in 2019 whilst at a place called ‘Combat Stress’ in Surrey, this is where Military Veterans like myself can go and get help for Mental Health matters. Whilst there I discovered Art Therapy (I hated art at school!) and a love for making things in the OT room. I started by making Remembrance Day related crafts and this quickly moved onto Military Insignia.

The Black Dog has stolen the mass of confidence I used to have, so I am hoping this adventure will help me to connect with people again and inspire those of you out there also having your own battle, it is one that may never be won, but it certainly can be helped.
