Sips Cherry

I'll admit it, I didn't think needed another water bottle.

Then I put this one in my handbag.

Most reusable bottles seem to have been designed without ever meeting an actual handbag. They're too wide, too heavy or they create that awkward bulge that means you're forever playing water bottle Tetris every time you need your keys. This doesn't.

The slim shape is the reason we bought it for Cissy Wears. It slides neatly into the side of a tote, sits happily in a changing bag and doesn't take over your desk or car cup holder. Once you've used it, you start wondering why they're not all made like this.

I also love that it doesn't look like something borrowed from the gym. The clean shape, soft-touch finish and simple carry strap make it feel more like a well-designed everyday object than a piece of sports equipment. It's just as happy sitting beside your laptop as it is coming along on a dog walk, train journey or Pilates class.

The leakproof lid means you can throw it into your bag without that nagging feeling you're about to soak your notebook or phone, and the soft bumper gives it a little extra protection when life inevitably gets a bit chaotic.

It's one of those products that makes you wonder why nobody thought of it sooner. Slim enough to disappear into your bag, good-looking enough that you'll actually want to carry it, and practical enough that you'll find yourself reaching for it without even thinking.
