r/DeinfluenceMeAUS

Okay, I'll admit, the online hype has me adding one to cart every year but I have never hit buy.

I have one good quality water bottle that I use frequently so I don't *need* another, but a second would be handy.

I could also do with a leak proof coffee cup to keep at work.

Pros:

- I'm a drink girlie, so loads of chilled herbal teas etc... Despite rigorous cleaning, over time they leave a lingering tea scent/taste so the bottle would be set aside for that

-I have Long days where I am away from reliable (free) water

- the dopamine hit ngl. The range that might be in the bags this year aren't an ick to me, I've disliked previous colourways so not risked it

-discounted item

Cons:

- I hear there may be better quality options out there (I currently have a yeti)

- the colour risk

(I'm probably influencing myself now) if I hadnt seen it online I wouldn't have thought I wanted this purchase.... Ugh!
