People are always looking for little ways to make their holiday gatherings feel more personal. If your family has an inside joke or a set of nicknames, this is the perfect place to use it. Put it on a PATH custom bottle and give everyone a smile before the toasts even begin. Refill it and make it part of the moment.
PATH is now on Pinterest to help inspire ideas for your next custom bottle design. For the holiday season, that might mean creating PATH refillable bottles with family portraits, reindeer, gingerbread cookies, snowmen, or elves. With the PATH custom studio, you can bring a little more personality to your holiday party favors and decor with a bottle that matches the exact vibe you want. We are sharing a range of Christmas designs and showing how PATH bottles can be customized to any tradition, colors, or themes.
PATH custom bottles are the perfect holiday touch
The holiday season brings a lot of joy and generosity, and it also brings a sharp rise in waste. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency reports that household waste grows by about 25% between Thanksgiving and New Year’s, which adds more than one million extra tons of trash to landfills each week. A large share of that comes from single-use packaging, cups, and bottles that are tossed after one use.
PATH custom bottles offer a thoughtful and sustainable alternative that brings together festive design, purpose, and real sentiment. Giving a refillable aluminum bottle you design becomes a conversation piece that people can take home, reuse, and remember long after your event is over.

Family portraits, photos, and personal memories on a bottle
Family portraits, photos, and personal memories on a PATH refillable bottle add a sentimental touch that more people are enjoying each year. If your family looks forward to the annual photo, this gives you a sustainable option instead of printing it on a card. You can put that photo on a bottle that gets reused all year. You can upload photos, cartoons of your pets, or illustrations from your favorite trips and memories. If there is a new baby, a new pet, or a recent wedding, you can feature that new addition on a bottle for a personal and lasting way to celebrate the moments that matter. Get PATH custom Inspo Now >

We have plenty of sassy elf designs in the PATH custom studio, including playful lines like “Resting Elf Face” and “Stay Christmas Ready.” These bottles make it easy to stay hydrated while sharing a little joy with everyone around you.

A custom PATH for every kind of holiday gathering
PATH custom bottles fit right into every kind of celebration this season, from family traditions to company milestones.
Corporate parties and company events
Corporate parties and company events are a great chance to bring branding and sustainability together. Many companies use PATH custom bottles as gifts or event swag that end up becoming long-term desk companions. A winter gala might feature a clean and simple design with the company logo, while team holiday lunches or year-end retreats might lean into lighter sayings like Hydration Goals Met or Refill, Recharge, Repeat. It is a small touch that creates a lasting connection between employees and a company's environmental values.
Festival gatherings
Hosting a festive gathering, you are looking for small touches that make your events feel memorable, and a PATH custom bottle works beautifully as a keepsake guests will actually use. Instead of giving something that gets tossed or forgotten, a custom bottle becomes a practical souvenir that travels home with them and stays in their daily routine long after the celebration. It ties the gathering together with a shared design or message and gives guests a reminder of the time spent together every time they refill it. This simple gesture helps hosts create a moment that lasts well beyond the event itself.
Each setting can take on its own personality, whether it is a classic look for a formal dinner, something funny for a casual get together, or something more elegant for professional events or weddings. Whatever the occasion or tradition, PATH custom bottles give everyone a way to celebrate together while keeping hydration, design, and sustainability woven into the spirit of the season.
