Making the world a better place was Sarah Kauss’s aim when she started S’well in 2010, with a goal to rid the world of single-use plastic bottles.
So far she’s over 4 billion single-use plastic water bottles closer to that goal, so well done Sarah.
But it doesn’t stop there – S’well have committed $1.7 million to UNICEF and made a recent donation of $1 million worth of products to healthcare heroes.
So what’s so special about S’well Bottles? Well, like a normal thermos, they keep hot drinks hot, and cold drinks cold – but they do it so much better. Due to their triple-layered, vacuum-insulated construction, cold drinks stay cold for up to 24 hours and hot ones hot for up to 12 hours. They’re made from stainless steel with a copper wall layer, to prevent condensation and are light and sleek, and of course unbreakable.
There’s an enormous range of patterns and colours to reflect your personality or mood – and prevent anyone ‘accidently’ pinching yours. The wide neck is especially designed to be large enough for ice cubes and they come in three sizes – the 250ml small enough for your handbag; the 500ml normal gym water bottle and the 750ml one, which conveniently holds the contents of a full bottle of wine. So you can keep your sauvignon blanc chilled, and your amarone at room temperature – whatever your guilty secret (although please don’t use your gym bottle for a crafty tipple on the cross-trainer – stick to water whilst you’re working out).
But S’well have expanded to many other products too – using the same super technology. So you can keep your snacks hot, or cold; or use their different shaped bottles for carrying your commuter-coffee; there are beautiful bowls, to keep salads cool or soups hot, and their barware range has the most lovely wine chillers and gorgeous champagne flutes.
You can see the full range at the S’well website.
Hydration is so important and such attractive bottles all help to ensure we drink regularly. I absolutely love my satin hunting green bottle.
