Custom SIGG Bottles
SIGG is a cool company that carries reusable beverage containers –the bulk of them water bottles. This is not some wimpy water bottle. Backpacker magazine conducted field tests last year that included many of the major water bottle brands. Backpacker fired at the bottles with a 100 pound cannon packed with golf balls. In the end, the SIGG bottle was the only one left standing and was named, “The World’s Toughest Water Bottle.”
The SIGG bottles exceed FDA requirements and are tested to ensure 0.0% chemical leaching and according to SIGG, “SIGG bottles are manufactured in an ecologically-friendly environment and are 100% recyclable after their very long lives.” Nice.
Besides strength and ethics these bottles are also created with your custom likes and dislikes in mind. With 144 bottles plus 22 interchangeable lids there are 1,000 custom water bottles just waiting to lend to your drinking experience. Of course you only need the one perfect bottle.
Finding that perfect bottle is a whole other story. There are so many to choose from; throw in various lid choices and yikes.
I thought it would be fun to create some of my own custom water bottles as a way to show you some of their great style options. I made some for me and some for other bloggers who you’d be well advised to pay a holiday visit to (i.e. great stuff going on at their blogs right now.)
For me: I couldn’t decide so I made myself two (pretty, right?). I’m leaning towards the first one.
I grabbed a beautiful chocolate garden bottle for Linette over at Mother Earth’s Garden… Then I decided that for the always sweet Kate from Babylune I’d make something completely opposite of her vibe — just for kicks. Who knows. Maybe Kate has a side we rarely see; maybe this rocker bottle would be her secret bottle of choice.
They make kid bottles too so I made my son Cedar a “cool” bottle and also made one for Heather who is not technically a kid but she is stationed over at The Food Bowl — home to many cute animals like this little dog. Bonus, the puppy bottle I made with a glow in the dark lid. Who can’t use that?
SIGG also makes thermos style bottles which are handy for hot and cold beverages. I picked one for the always entertaining Tracee of Blog Fabulous because it reminded me of her. Does she even drink coffee (not sure). Does she like pink, (who knows)? It was just one of those times you see something material and it reminds you of someone random — maybe it’s because her blog is oh so fabulously pink. Lastly I snagged a flask style bottle. Which is a little odd but hey, maybe some people like their alcohol served eco-friendly. I bet Farley over at Behind The Vines could use it.
As you can see, SIGG offers many choices for all kinds of bloggers; um, people. If you’re in the market for a super strong, super unique, earth lovin’ water or other beverage bottle why not try SIGG — with all these styles you’ll find one that’s perfectly you.

Well, I did watch the first season of the Osbournes on MTV…
I’m more of a folkpunk kind of girl. Do they make a Green Day bottle?

No, but they make a GREEN bottle (sliver, with little people on it)– it’s pretty cool and I almost went with that for you but then I felt like being weird. It was late when I did this.
No worries; I didn’t send you this for the holidays or anything :D

I LOVE that pink bottle you picked for me. It actually looks like my favorite coffe cup in design (mine is green by default versus choice). I think it must be my pink hair that made you think of me when looking at pink. Sadly, it is brown for the winter (I needed to save money to buy house).
Thanks for the link Tree Hugging Lady! I appreciate you!

I do a fair bit of hiking and have been in the market for a good quality (i.e. robust) drink bottle. Thanks for the heads up! Cheers, Alex.

Linette ~ That bottle is pretty huh. I actually thought it fit you because of the flowers but I think I’ll pretend I just knew deep down about the chocolate issue.
Tracee ~ Woo hoo. I knew it! You know I completely forgot about your pink hair honestly. Maybe subconsciously I didn’t though. Also, brown hair = house = good deal.

Those are very nice. I use stainless steel bottles. I’m a fan of Green Feet and Klean Kanteen. I take them with me everywhere even when I go to the gym. I really like that these are customizable.

Jennifer,
I came to Tree Hugging Family as the launching point for shopping for new water bottles for our family (no explanation needed there), and when I went to the SIGG website, I found that they have put their internet orders on hold until they can meet the demand!
Have you considered doing a new post on this issue, considering the #7 plastic news?

Well, we could do a new post on this topic. However, for now, I can tell you that SIGG is not the only bottle out there. I just bought two bottles from Kleen Kanteen for my son and I, and I really like them. You can even get them with sippy attachments for wee ones. But there are others out there as well. It’s just SIGG and Kleen Kanteen are maybe the most popular. Also, if you search around, you can find SIGG bottles in stock elsewhere, like at reusablebags.com, amazon, and other places. You just won’t maybe get the color you’re dying for. But you can find a bottle.

I’m looking at klean kanteen, too. I’m not keen on the “made in china” thing, although they have a defense of that in their faqs. The issues I’m facing now are: What’s the enamel inside SIGG bottles? Will it chip? Reviews indicate that SIGG bottles get dinged up. Given all those questions, if I am assured that stainless steel doesn’t make water taste funny, I’ll easily go with the slightly less expensive Klean Kanteens.
I did find a selection of SIGG bottles through REI, if I decide to go with that.
Thanks for your help.

Thanks for this post. I’m planning to put a link on our site to it soon. Maybe we’ll put it in our ezine, too.
We like the SIGGS. We don’t sell them, but you can get them all over the place.
You should also think about what you are putting in your SIGG or other water bottle. If you are on a municipal system you probably have chlorine and fluoride in your water, which in the view of many, including us, you shouldn’t be drinking.
Get a good kitchen water filter that takes these out. For more info, cruise around our site, http://www.friendsofwater.com. See the pages Water Bottles, No Fluoride, Chlorine, Water Filters….
