Thank you to Aladdin for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for my honest review. All thoughts and opinions shared are my own.

We're on the go a lot this time of year. It seems like all we do is run from place to place, and I know my family isn't the only one who experiences this during the holidays. Before Christmas, we try to cut down on extra spending as much as possible. Fewer coffee runs, we bring along snacks for the car, to fight of the hungry tummies when we're out and about, etc. This helps us to have a little extra to spend on Christmas. When we have drinks in tow, we can almost always count on there being some kind of oops moment- a spill of some sort. We recently switched out some of our old take along cups and mugs for new ones, and it's made quite a big difference in our lives.

Remember that lunch box you loved as a kid? Aladdin probably made it. For more than 100 years, they have been creating thoughtful products that make the most of everyday moments. Today that means stylish and sustainable food & beverage containers for women and their families.

We were excited to receive a couple of new products from Aladdin to check out and test for ourselves. We were sent a cool kids cup, and a coffee travel mug- two necessities for our family.

The Stainless Steel Vacuum Mug, featuring a leak and spill-proof lid!

I was intrigued by whether or not this mug was actually spill and leak-proof. The worst thing to experience while casually driving or riding in the car, is a leaking coffee mug! No one wants to walk into work, a meeting, etc., with coffee spillage on their clothing... how embarrassing! This mug creates a vacuum seal, offering a tight fitting top that won't leak on the sides around the top, when flipped over. It has a flip top cover that snaps into place, so you know it's secured.

I filled the mug with water before snapping a photo of it turned upside down... no leaks here!

I love this mug because of its sleek design, but also because of its functionality. It's a great size for coffee lovers who need or want to take their coffee on the go. I have a few other travel coffee mugs that I just can't quite trust, because the lids are very loose on them. This lid is super tight-fitting, and I don't have to worry about leaks, no matter where I am. Also, this amazing mug can keep your hot beverages hot for four hours... and cold beverages cold for 24 hours! None of my other coffee mugs can do that!

Meet the Flip-to-Sip Water Bottle for Kids!

This cool water bottle is perfect for little hands. It's designed like an old fashioned milk bottle, with a cute straw, and an easy to use flip top. B wasn't thrilled about the purple color (it's available in other colors, as well), but he agreed to give it a try.

With an easy flip top, it's easy for kids to use on their own,

Like the stainless steel mug, this product is leak-proof, and dishwasher safe. It's a great size for kids- or adults, and is compatible with most lunch bags. Say goodbye to those juice pouches and boxes, and start packing a healthy drink for your kids, in an eco-friendly way!

This water bottle is a great size for B, who was eager to try it out at snack time.

Easy to hold onto and perfect for all types of beverages from milk and juice to water.

This durable water bottle will stand up to daily use and abuse from kids - and you can toss it in the dishwasher. Mix and match with our snack and sandwich kits to make the perfect lunch box set.

We think both of these products are pretty great. The kids water bottle would make a great stocking stuffer, and the stainless steel mug would make a great gif for the coffee or tea lover in your life!
