One thing about me is that there isn’t much that can get between me and my Stanley. I can pinpoint the exact moment I learned about them: My sister ordered one after getting served an Instagram ad (naturally) and because we’ve been silently competing our entire lives, I needed one too. Ever since, they’ve been all over my FYP and in the hands of pretty much every millennial (and Gen Z-er for that matter) that I run into.
Honestly, this water bottle has been there for me through thick and thin—from the mornings when I’ve woken up with a hangover and my mouth is drier than the Sahara Desert, to essentially being a full-on self defense tool when I’m walking somewhere alone. (I’m convinced that when it’s full it’s comparable to a 10lbs. dumbbell). It’s basically an emotional support water bottle at this point.
I know what you’re probably thinking “it’s just a f*cking cup, it’s not a big deal.” But what you might not understand is that I’ve literally tried every water bottle known to man because somehow every January I find myself making the same New Year’s resolution to drink more water. And, when I say nothing compares to this tumbler, I mean it. It’s truly elite with it’s easy-to-hold handle (even though I’d like to think I’m strong, I don’t have the grip of a NBA player), to being the size to fit into a cup holder, and it’s ability to keep things as hot and cold as one of Katy Perry’s first radio hits.
And because I’m a millennial, I tend to collect things. So when I found out the promise land Target was dropping some new exclusive colors obviously, I needed to get my hands on one. Because above all else, there’s one rule I live by and it’s this: if I love it, I’ll buy it in every color.
Similarly to the way Kylie Lip Kits sold out circa 2015, I wouldn’t sleep on these if you actually want one. Considering that any viral TikTok makeup trend will literally clean Sephora of any and all products, I have a feeling the same logic will apply here.
And while these exclusive colorways will run you $5 more than the standard 40oz Stainless Steel H2.0 FlowState Quencher Tumbler, I would still consider them worth it. I bought my first Stanley over 2 years ago and even though I literally take it everywhere (see above about it being an emotional support water bottle) it looks like a bought it yesterday and mine is WHITE. Like, if anything is going to show dirt or any bang ups, it’s going to be a white one. Not to mention, the colors that are now available are giving me a total serotonin boost.
I just bought the Citron Tie-Dye and it’s become my entire personality. And considering spring is right around the corner, it’s time we lightened up a little—and my fave colors do just that.
Ocean Tie-Dye That Makes Me Happier Than Any Medication Could
Is it a coincidence that the blue tie-dye compliments my Zoloft perfectly? Probably, but it makes taking my daily medication less of a chore.
