Significantly Better

Ever since I started working out more often and paying more attention to my diet, I've been guzzling a lot more water. I had been buying bottled water and going through multiple bottles a day. Finally over the weekend, I splurged on a Sigg bottle and have been loving it! I've used it every day since.

I had noticed Sigg bottles about a year ago while living in Seattle and didn't understand why anyone would spend money on an aluminum bottle and now I am a convert. First off, they are very nice to look at. ;) There is a design fit for every one. Second, they're great for the environment (who doesn't love that?). Third, they're lightweight-- which is great if you've been toting a water bottle around in your purse like me. And the final reason (and the biggest selling point for me) is that they don't alter the taste of the water. Call me crazy, but I taste plastic in my water if it's been in a plastic bottle for too long. Since Sigg is made out of aluminum, you never have that problem. And depending for what you use it for, there are a variety of lids to choose from (i.e. screw top or active).

I am now kicking myself for having finished our bridesmaids and groomsmen gifts eons ago, otherwise, these would have definitely made it into our packages. If anything, they also make fantastic junior attendant gifts with fun designs and smaller sizes.

A while ago, it was possible to truly personalize the bottle with your own design, but with increased demand, Sigg cannot offer the service anymore. But no fear, there are hundreds of neat designs to choose from and you can find them in your local Whole Foods or REI.

Here are some of my favorites:
SIGG Water Bottle with Screw Top - 20 oz., $19.95
