Contigo Stainless Steel Water Bottles — My Favorite Back to School Product! #Giveaway

It’s supposed to reach 97 degrees here today.  The first day of school is tomorrow.  Weather like this is practically unheard of around here, especially this time of year!   New school clothes will have to be put on hold in favor of their least grubby summer clothes but at least they can still use their new back packs, lunch boxes and water bottles!  Their Contigo AUTOSEAL® Chill Stainless Steel Water Bottles will really come in handy on these final hot days of summer weather because they keep water cold for up to 28 hours — no joke!

The way these bottles keep beverages super cold with Thermalock vacuum insulation is just ONE of the reasons I love them so much.  Contigo really thought through the design of these bottles.  It seems like they took the best features from all of my favorite water bottles and combined them into one perfect bottle.  First of all, there’s no annoying straws to wash or a giant lid you have to unscrew to take a drink and potentially lose.  The spill-proof AUTOSEAL lid is leak proof and spill proof.  There’s a small spout for drinking that opens with the push of a button and seals back up when it’s released.  It has a built-in spout cover to help keep it clean, too!  The 24 oz bottle is made of stainless steel so it’s tough.  In fact, my kids accidentally kicked one of our bottles through the very top row of the football bleachers not once but TWICE and it suffered only the tiniest mark!

The small carry handle is another feature I love.  It folds down out of the way when you don’t need it, is the perfect size for hooking through a finger to carry it and also works well with a carabiner to attach it to your backpack.  The Contigo Autoseal Chill water bottle is available 5 different colors and retails for $22.99 (and worth every penny!)
