1 Comment

Pink Light Up Skull Bottle Stopper

Oh, my. This visually compelling wine bottle stopper combines three of my favorite things: drinking, skulls and the color pink! I am buying one right now, and you should, too. Because Halloween is closer than you think!

Light Up Skull Bottle Stopper Details:

  • Metal bottle stopper with an engraved skull top
  • Skull lights up with LED light (battery included)
  • Multi-color LED light cycles through various colors
  • Fits most wine bottles – rubber ring provides a tight seal
  • Size: 1-1/4″ x 1-1/4″ x 4-1/2″

If pink is not your color, don’t freak out: this rad wine bottle stopper actually cycles through the spectrum, making it multi-colored.

Note: Product is no longer available!
