It’s no secret that Stanley tumblers are the “it” accessories of 2024. This 30-ounce tumbler can keep your drink cold for 12 hours or iced for two days. It also has a leak-proof, flip-up straw and a rotating handle, and it’s dishwasher-safe.
Take it from me — these bottles are worth the hype. (Really!)
