2. Save a squirt bottle from something else.

I have both one of those "honey bear" squirt bottles, and one that used to hold agave syrup. Just pour in until filled.

I wouldn't keep honey in the fridge unless you just don't use it often at all. Sure, it'll crystallize, but only at the bottom and that can be reconstituted with a little added water and the microwave. And, as I just discovered, it crystallizes faster in the fridge than on the shelf at room temperature.

You could also get a condiment squirt bottle, like those used in restaurants. If you have a restaurant supply in your town, go there and buy a few. They're also great for decorating dessert plates (with pureed fruit sauce, also called a "coulis".) Or just use them for condiments
