'Stanley cup I've used everyday for two years reduced to £32 in rare deal'

It's been almost two years since I first acquired the top-selling Stanley Quencher cup, and it's been my daily companion ever since. Initially, I aimed to increase my water intake as I was falling short of the recommended amount. Now, with this reliable tumbler at hand, I manage to consume at least one litre of fluid daily.

For those unfamiliar, the Stanley Quencher cup is essentially a reusable water bottle that can hold an impressive 1.2L of liquid - reducing refill frequency and aiding in boosting your hydration levels. It also maintains your beverage frosty for 48 hours, a feature I find useful even during the chillier months.

Since its UK launch, the Stanley Quencher cup has repeatedly sold out, but it doesn't come cheap at £45. Stanley seldom offers discounts - in fact, throughout the first year and a half I owned mine, I'd never personally seen it marked down from its original price. However, Amazon has reduced several colours down to £32 in a 29% off discount.

Beating the price of the Stanley summer sale where it is now £34, the Amazon offer does vary depending on the colour favoured. Shoppers will find the shade fuchsia and plum the cheapest, ranging to lilac and shale at £40.

The primary function of the cup is to encourage users to increase their water intake with minimal effort, and it certainly achieved this for me. On the first day, I found myself sipping from the bottle while engaged in routine activities such as working on my laptop or watching television, without giving it much thought.

I believe the straw, which makes drinking effortless, contributes significantly to this. Additionally, the cup's 1.2L capacity allows me to meet my recommended daily water intake without needing a refill, which proved particularly handy during workdays.

After filling it with ice, my drink remained chilled throughout the day, and even by morning when left on my bedside table. I noticed that smaller ice cubes melted after a few hours, but larger ones retained their shape for a considerably longer duration.

There's no denying it, this cup is massive. Although the ergonomic handle with comfort-grip inserts makes it comfortable to hold, its sheer size means it's quite heavy when filled, making it somewhat impractical for commuting as it occupies a significant amount of space in your bag. However, when working from home, the large capacity is a godsend.

For a more travel-friendly Stanley Cup, consider the Stanley IceFlow Flip Travel Tumbler. It has a smaller capacity (890ml), but its leak-proof design and easy-to-hold handle make it ideal for on-the-go use.

Another reusable water bottle that can hold 1L of liquid is theOcean Bottle, priced at £45. Available in 11 chic colours, it can be personalised with your own text for an additional £10. It's also eco-friendly - for every bottle produced, 1,000 plastic bottles are prevented from entering the ocean.
