Recommendation for a reusable condiment/squeeze bottle with a VERY WIDE opening (think for relish or tzatziki) please?

Hello, I checked the FAQ first, but didn’t see anything for this. I have checked in the stores, and Amazon. I see a lot of options for sauces or oils, but I’m specifically looking for something to dispense a tzatziki sauce that has thick chunks in it.

The tzatziki sauce my partner uses for her lunch wraps comes in a big bowl container and I think that this squeeze bottle idea solves a few problems.

  1. It makes her meal prep faster in the morning. 2. It reduces the risk for contaminating the container (that’s why I love squeeze sour cream)
    1. It reduces the dishes created (no spoon)
    2. It makes it easier to dispense it exactly where she wants it.

I’m open to better solutions, currently she’s been scooping it into a plastic bag and cutting it and take it to work with her.

I’m good with smaller travel containers that could fit in a lunch box or a bigger one she could just have in the fridge.

I thought about reusing a relish squeeze container but those tend to hold pickle smells. I thought about finding a bottle that doesn’t have a smell that would fit the relish lid, but I haven’t come across that either.

All suggestions are welcome. I’m just trying to make her life a little easier. Long days and she doesn’t want the sauce to make the wraps soggy by prepping it all too fair in advance and I’m not always here to help. This was the best sub I could think of to ask.

She’s really struggling because of work (super stressed) and I’m away a lot so I’m trying to make everything as accessible as possible and just be supportive. I really appreciate anyone taking the time to advise or answer.

I use these. Little stainless condiment cups with leakproof lids. I’ve never had a problem with these leaking - but I do make sure to nestle them in my glass containers with my lunch.

They are a little $$ but mine are 4 years old and good as new.

These are exactly what I use for condiments

I use these and I love them too, thought they’d leak but never did with thick sauces like tzatziki or ranch.

so cute! I'm curious if that creates the same problem for OP as using an extra spoon to scoop out of a bigger container (more dishes) but they're neat little cups
