I'm almost never without my Lahlouh branded Camelbak water bottle and I also use this other 24 oz vacuum insulated thermal bottle basically everyday - it keeps hot drinks hot and cold drinks cold ALL DAY. It's big but it still fits in most cup holders (see the aspen bottle, 2nd image down). Water bottles and other drinkware are basically another type of item that will definitely get lots of use - lots of guaranteed brand exposure! There are various brand name drinkware companies we can co-brand with - Camelbak, Contigo, Thermos, Nalgene, Kleen Kanteen, SIGG, KOR, Blender Bottle, etc.
When it comes to insulated drinkware, there are two types: vacuum insulated or foam insulated. Like I mentioned above, vacuum insulated pieces keep hot drinks hot and cold drinks cold all day; foam insulated pieces keep its contents hot or cold for a few hours. Just something to keep in mind.
Also, matte colors are very 'in' right now and look really sleek - ie a matte black water bottle with a glossy black imprint for a great tone-on-tone look! Subtle and so cool looking.
What's cool this year are infuser bottles - they come with removable cages where you can put lemons, limes, strawberries, etc, to infuse your water. I can say that your water intake will increase when you use these infuser bottles; at least that seemed to be the case when we were testing them out!
Another thing to keep in mind are the alternative imprint methods out there for drinkware. We can do four color process prints, glitter prints, and mirror prints. The mirror print is really cool - an innovative print process allows you to view your art from the inside out. The reflective imprint shows through a clear item to give it a mirror effect, allowing you to brand drinkware in a whole new way!
There's no way I can leave double wall drinkware out.
Ok so I could keep going with more water bottles, tumblers, mugs and such, but I will leave you with one more item: thermochromatic mugs. When the mug is hot or cold, it will show a hidden message/imprint:
