Trendy water bottles
Find it difficult to drink enough water? With a stylish water bottle, it’s more fun to use and easier to remember those extra millilitres that you otherwise too easily forget as well some hot water bottles for when you want to stay warm when out in the cold.
In addition to the water in what we eat, you should also drink about 1-1.5 litres extra per day, and even more if you sweat a lot due to exercise or hot weather. With an attractive bottle in your bag you don’t have to buy expensive bottled water when you’re away from home, and everyone knows exercise is more fun if you have the right equipment. Here are seven stylish water bottles that work just as well in the office as they do at the gym.

3 tips when buying water bottles
Look for a thermos. If a bottle has a thermos function, you get two bottles in one, and can also use it for hot drinks. It’s also nice not to find yourself drinking lukewarm water after half a day in the sun.
Buy the right size. If you only drink 300-400 ml extra per day, you may find it too cumbersome to lug around a large bottle and so end up leaving it at home. And vice versa. If your water always runs out so that you need to refill it or maybe even buy bottled water, then you need a bigger one.
Check out the material. Plastics that release chemicals when in contact with water aren’t the best choice for a water bottle. Choose one that’s kind both to you and to nature.
