The Stanley cup is definitely having a moment. After all, it’s almost impossible to go on TikTok without seeing someone holding one. But it’s not new. The reusable bottle has been keeping drinks insulated since its invention in 1913, but thanks to clever marketing, rebranding and partnerships with other popular companies like Starbucks, the Stanley cup is the coveted go-to tumbler for trendy tweens, teens and their parents.
Reaching for a Stanley to keep you hydrated could set you back $45-$50, an amount some consumers aren’t keen on spending to jump on the bandwagon. If you’re looking for a trusty Stanley cup alternative, we’ve got you covered with seven budget-friendly lookalikes that all cost less than $30.
The following water bottles are all stainless steel, insulated, 40 ounce options that have handles and straws (just like the Stanley).
