    I recycle my large Coffeemate creamer bottle, has a spout and a snap lid.

    Great idea, I think I have some of those in my kitchen drawer. I love repurposed ideas.

    What an ingenious thought of re-purposing them. I use my Britta water bottle but haven't replaced the filter.

    I use this too. But mine is International Delight. LOL I haven't found the perfect water pourer for the iron yet though.

    I don't put water in my iron. I just use a spray bottle and fill it under the kitchen faucet. Works well for me.

    I have a clear funnel and spray bottle. Sometimes I just grab the spray bottle unless I'm going to do a lot of ironing. But my iron has that auto shut-off and drives me nuts. No matter what I do it shuts off even when I'm in the middle of using it.

    I use a plastic sqeeze condiment bottle that you used to use with ketchup and mustard. Does the trick for me!
