My birthday is coming up next month. Thought I’d list stuff I want to buy for myself (as usual) and put in some justification for the upcoming splurges lol.
Stanley tumbler
Or more specifically a wide mouth narrow bottom 30oz tumbler with a handle. Something easy to clean and carry around, cup holder friendly, and not too heavy. So far Stanley fits the bill cos aside from checking all of my requirements, its lid doesn’t have that rubber gasket that gets moldy over time. But the lid is also the reason it’s not leakproof, so that makes it a dealbreaker.
Which brings me to another tumbler option – their flip straw tumblers.
The handle looks practical for me. Comes in a flip straw. Has cute color options. It is pretty pricey though for 2,700 so I’m thinking of just getting a Tyeso like this…
Handle looks nice; wraps around the body when set down. Has two outlet options, a flip straw and a regular hole where you can chug. Also fits in cup holders according to reviews. Best of all, it’s like 5x cheaper. It doesn’t have the color I like though, which is cream. So we’ll see hehe. I only ever want to to drink water in this and I’m not too keen on the insulation so I didn’t look at those specs, although I know Stanley has better insulation. And if I ever get tired of cleaning the straw I can just revert to the regular opening. It does have the rubber thing that will need a more thorough cleaning.
Oh well, we’ll see what I’ll pick eventually. Leaning more on Stanley though!
To be fair, I only wanted a new tumbler because our company took away our lockers so I’ve been struggling to carry my 40oz Reduce tumbler with me everytime I go to work (which is really just once a week). It’s not that leakproof, doesn’t fit in my bag, and also won’t fit in the cup holders of our car so I always need to bring it empty so it can lay on the passenger seat without risk. Hassle!
So yeah, looks like that’s all I want this year lol.
