2. S'well Insulated Stainless Steel Water Bottle
http://www.swellbottle.com/All reusable water bottles are a good idea. They help you stay hydrated throughout the day while cutting down on the consumption and disposal of plastic bottles. With the whole of the United States throwing out over 35 billion plastic bottles a year, the planet needs all the help it can get. Coming in many sizes and colors, the S'well bottle is perfect for any demographic. Costing $35.00, the S'well water bottle is slightly on the pricier side. This is because the bottle promises to keep cold beverages icy for a full twenty-four hours and hot beverages steaming for twelve hours and, as a S'well bottle owner, let me tell you they keep their promises.
3. LUSH Bath Bombs
