Summer’s Must-Have Bottle
 |  |
Meet the Bottle That’s as Busy as You Are.
Between summer camps, beach days, and park hangs, moms (and kids!) need a water bottle that can keep up — and look cute doing it. That’s why we’re loving the Owala FreeSip Insulated Stainless Steel Water Bottle in Dreamy Field — a stylish, functional, and totally spill-proof essential for staying cool this summer.
What makes it special?
-Two ways to drink: sip upright with the built-in straw or tilt to swig
- Double-wall insulation keeps drinks cold for up to 24 hours
- Wide-mouth design makes cleaning (and adding ice) super easy
- Push-button lid + carry loop that locks = mom-approved design
- Cup holder-friendly base for road trips, school drop-offs, and more
Available in multiple sizes, but the 24oz is just right for moms on-the-go — throw it in your tote or stroller pocket and you’re set.
Whether you're at the playground, gym, or soccer practice, the Owala FreeSip makes hydration effortless and fun.
