With school back in session, we thought it would be fun to share a few last-minute items we know students will love. Aside from your typical paper, pencils, and backpack, these are eco-friendly and IET approved items that you may not have thought of.
Hydroflask Reusable Water Bottle (Straw Top)
Double-wall vacuum insulation keeps cold drinks cold for up to 24 hours
Leak-resistant straw lid minimizes messes on the go
Tough 18/8 pro-grade stainless steel won’t retain or transfer flavors
Silicone bottle boot adds durability and color
BPA-free; proprietary powder coat
Why We Love It: Aside from single-use water bottles being terrible for the environment, they also aren’t that practical. It’s expensive for a student to bring enough water bottles to last them a whole day and not to mention how dirty water fountains actual are.
