If you’ve seen Owala products popping up on loved ones’ Christmas gift wish-lists this year, you’re not alone. The viral FreeSip water bottle has stuck around in so many people’s cupholders or on their Pinterest boards for years now because it’s just so functional and adorable.
The Owala Freesip is one of these products where literally everyone who has one is obsessed with it. Ask someone holding a FreeSip about it, and their face will light up — I guarantee you. It’s a simple idea but so convincing. A well-insulated, relatively light water bottle equipped with a carrying handle that doubles as a safe waterproof lock. Plus, the signature feature — both a straw and a chug spout. It’s the water bottle for people who don’t want 5 water bottles for different occasions.
Oh, and they’re adorable. I’m telling you to get a FreeSip now rather than later no trust because it’s a great gift, but because the Christmas prints won me over. And they’re not around for very long! Don’t get me wrong, the normal colour schemes are lovely too. But I find myself totally won over by the Christmas spirit here.
So far I’ve found the bottles to be resistant to wear-and-tear. The enamel exterior and the metal body have held up against inconvenient dents which have ruined my metal bottles before. And the plastic lid shows not signs of scratching or fading! I just think this the kind of Christmas gift anyone is going to find themselves really using throughout the year.
Try to nab one here for yourself or a loved one, before they’re all gone!
