"Fill Your Own" water bottle - GIVEAWAY! CLOSED

If you are a mom like me, you have tried a number of different kids drink containers while trying to:

• bring a drink for your kids wherever you go
• get your kids to drink more water
• not have the drink leak all over (especially when you're at someone else's house!)

Well, I have finally found a container that does all of this! :) Fill Your Own Inc. is a Canadian company based in Vancouver. Annette, a Mom and self-labelled Ecopreneur, decided to produce her own stainless steel water bottles after investigating the available options and being disappointed with the selection. The bottles come in various sizes (350ml, 500ml, 750ml and 1000ml) and have 4 different cap choices (straw cap, sports spout cap, twist cap with carabiner and a drinking spout cap). The caps are interchangeable and can be purchased separately. If that wasn't enough, they are also decorated with art! Canadian artists have created the artwork on the bottles – and the designs are very appealing! I can drink out of a solid colour water bottle (less fun and stylish though!) but the kids REALLY like the pictures!

Daniel received a straw cap bottle (350ml) in the design “Panda Play.” It's the perfect size for him, easy to drink out of, and best of all, LEAK-FREE! Believe me, we've tried! He's the kind of kid who loves to tip the sippy cup upside down, shake it so that more drink comes out, then “paint” on the table! Not this straw cup! The cap has a leak-proof valve, allowing Daniel to suck easily from the straw, but not allowing the water to spill out.  Jonathan received a sports spout cap bottle (500ml) in the design “Leaping Pirates!” The pirates are frogs, and he loves to tell stories about them as they jump around his bottle! He is fascinated by the carabiner clip, and I think it's great too, as I can clip his bottle to the bag (why do diaper bags only have 1 drink holder spot?). The cap has the same leak-proof valve as the straw cup.
