Contigo Introduces LUXE Collection
Contigo®, a leading innovator of water bottles, travel mugs, and kids bottles, expanded its stainless steel thermal and hydration lines with the launch of the LUXE Collection. The collection is comprised of two products: the LUXE Stainless Steel Tumbler with Spill-Proof Lid and Straw and the LUXE AUTOSEAL® Vacuum-Insulated Travel Mug. Both the tumbler and travel mug feature THERMALOCK® technology, allowing beverages to stay at their desired temperatures for longer.
The LUXE Stainless Steel Tumbler includes a fully sealed lid and straw to guarantee a 100% spill-proof* experience. The unique straw has a built-in valve that ensures no spills will occur if accidentally tipped or dropped. The lid and straw come apart for easy and thorough cleaning, and the lid, straw, and body are top-rack dishwasher-safe. The LUXE Stainless Steel Tumbler, which comes in 18-ounce ($24.99) and 24-ounce ($29.99), is available in a variety of colors including Biscay Bay, Brushed Stainless Steel, Licorice, Monaco and Passion Fruit.
The Contigo LUXE AUTOSEAL® Travel Mug uses a technology that completely seals the mug when not in use to provide confidence against spills. Simply press the button to drink and release the button to automatically seal the mug. The lid can be locked when not in use to ensure the button is not pressed accidentally when being stored or carried. The underside of the lid opens for cleaning, and both the lid and bottle are top-rack dishwasher safe. The LUXE AUTOSEAL Travel Mug is available in 12-ounce ($19.99) and 16-ounce ($24.99) and comes in several colors including Biscay Bay, Chard, Licorice, Merlot, Monaco, Passion Fruit, Spiced Wine, and Stainless Steel.

Fressko Offers Three Eco-Friendly Flasks
Fressko, the Australian company that is pioneering sustainable flasks, offers three distinct product lines: Café Collection, Colour Collection, and the Original Series.
All Fressko flasks help the environment by being an alternative to plastic bottles and paper cups.
Plastics play a major role in destroying the ecosystem. Every year 38 billion plastic water bottles are dumped in American landfills, and plastic waste kills 1.1 million marine creatures annually.
In contrast, all Fressko flasks, as well as the new reusable coffee cup, are made from high quality, sustainable materials such as glass, bamboo and stainless steel. They are leak-proof, 100 percent BPA-free and versatile – meaning one flask can be used for all different beverage types, including steeping tea.
Fressko’s product line includes:
The Original Series, which was introduced to the American consumer in 2016, includes bamboo and double-walled glass infuser flasks in a variety of sizes and with the Fressko 2-in-1 Infuser.
The Café Collection, which features the Camino, a reusable coffee cup with an ergonomic spout design and internal barista measurements, is also scratch resistant, vacuum-sealed, spill-proof and sleek.
The Colour Collection, infuser flasks that are available in a variety of colors (lagoon, floss, coal, denim, snow, and clay), that will keep your brew hot for six hours and your cold drinks cold for twice that time.

Stanley Expands Travel Mugs Line
By Lorrie Baumann
PMI’s Stanley brand is expanding its line of travel mugs with new colors and updated designs that will appeal to consumers who are taking their coffee with them on their commute, out on the job site or out to the fishing cabin.
Stanley’s Classic Trigger-Action Travel Mug and Classic Twin-Lock™ Travel Mug are new for spring 2019 and feature an updated brand logo/look-feel and also new colorways, Nightfall and Polar. The Classic Trigger-Action Travel Mug is a stainless steel double-wall vacuum mug with a push-button lid. It’s leakproof, easy to clean and dishwasher safe, and it will fit into the car’s beverage holder. The 20-ounce mug will retail for $25 and keeps coffee hot for nine hours or a soda cold for 12 hours. The 16-ounce mug will retail for $23 and its contents will stay hot for seven hours or cold for 10.
The Classic Twin-Lock Travel Mug is also made with stainless steel double-wall construction to keep hot beverages hot and cold beverages cold, and it’s also leakproof and very packable. Its Twin-Lock cam-action lid opens wide for easy cleaning, and it’s also dishwasher safe. These also come in 20-ounce and 16-ounce sizes, which retail for the same prices as the Classic Trigger-Action Travel Mugs. The 20-ounce mug will keep hot beverages hot for four hours and cold ones cold for six hours. The 16-ounce mug will keep hot beverages hot for four hours and cold ones cold for five hours.
The company is also launching the new Polar color for its Adventure Vacuum Mug and Adventure Wide Mug this spring. The Adventure Vacuum Mug will appeal to those who want to clip their mugs onto a backpack and haul them up a mountainside for the distinct pleasure of sitting on a rock with a hot meal while enjoying the view as well as to those who are bringing their lunchtime soup along on the subway. The 8-ounce mug is made of stainless steel with double-wall vacuum insulation that will keep its contents hot for three hours or cold for four hours. It’s leakproof and packable with a versatile lid system, and it’s single-serve brewer compatible. The mug is dishwasher safe and retails for $15.
The Adventure Wide Mug is also coming out in the new Polar color this spring. This 20-ounce mug has a wide base and a non-skid footpad for those of us who might find ourselves setting our coffee down on top of the toolbox in the truck bed. Also made of stainless steel with double-wall vacuum insulation, it has a leak-resistant flip lid to deal with the slosh that comes with being carried around in a moving vehicle, and it’ll keep its contents hot for four hours or cold for six. It retails for $30.

Hip Bottle Has Stylish Mission
Hip Products LLC, announced the Hip bottle at this year’s International Home + Housewares Show as its entrant into the $ 8 billion hydration category. Hip’s philanthropic mission sets it apart, and its unique design makes it stand out. Hip is stylish, functional, and committed to helping those in need.
Hip’s creators are celebrated veterans in the design space. Following their landmark success at bobble, the self-filtering water bottle they created in 2010, designers Richard Smiedt and Karim Rashid have returned to create a bottle with style and purpose.
“Great design has a voice and the ability to connect to so many people. However with Hip we want this connection to be much deeper than aesthetics. While we all are aware that our single serve bottled water habits are simply unsustainable, both from an ecological perspective and as a matter of financial common sense, we wanted Hip to have a greater purpose, a cause and a great partnership of a tangible give back for every product we sell,” Smiedt said.
Inspired by bottles used to carry water in the time of the Roman Empire, Hip is a 650ml/22-ounce flask-shaped bottle with wonderfully appealing proportions and distinctive textures. The team also added a side-strap for convenient carrying. Recyclable, reusable, and made from Tritan, Hip is free of BPA, Phthalates and PVC.
While designed to address the massive environmental problem single-serve water bottles create, Hip’s mission is much broader. Through a partnership with Water For People (waterforpeople.org), every Hip bottle purchased provides access to two days of safe drinking water to a person in need. With a suggested retail price of $14.99, Hip makes style accessible to consumers and clean water accessible to people around the world.
Based in Denver, Colorado, Water For People is leading the water and sanitation sector with a model proven to end the global water crisis. With programs in nine countries, Water For People brings together local entrepreneurs, community members, and local governments to establish innovative, collaborative solutions that allow communities to build and maintain their own reliable, safe water systems.
“The Hip bottle is a great way to connect consumers with the global crisis and give them a part to play in promoting water access to people around the world,” said Eleanor Allen, CEO of Water For People. “We are grateful for innovative partners like Hip whose products are making a difference in the lives of so many people.”
While the cause may make consumers feel good about purchasing Hip, the design makes them look good using it. The sleek shape fits easily in a bag, and the texturized bases elevate it to a fashion accessory. Available in six sleek colorways, Hip is as much a style statement as it is a functional, reusable bottle.
