Great gift idea
These tap water bottles are stylish and clever.
A perfect gift for the avid entertainer - or that special someone who you want to gently remind that drinking tap water is the best choice.
These stylish tap water bottles are made of glass, making them 100 per cent recyclable. However, you won't have to worry about recycling these bottles because you'll be able to reuse them forever.
The bottles are available in two different sizes - 250 mL ($10) and 500 mL ($12) – that are easy to carry around with you too. But, being made of glass, they're of course breakable, so if you're the active type you might want to leave them at home. I think one of these bottles will look best on the dining table when hosting a group of friends for dinner.
You can order the bottles online at tapwater-bottle.com (bottles can be shipped across North America).

I have one of these bottles and I have to say that they are a lot stronger then your typical water or wine bottle. The glass is extra thick more like the glass used in kitchen accessories. I actually dropped it as I was getting off the bus, full of water, hit two steps and then the pavement and hit the cement curb without breaking.. Plus the flip cap attachemnet makes it so that it does not slip out of your hand. I carry mine everywhere.

Interesting bottle. You could even fill it up with a DIY project: liquer.

I also saw a similar bottle at Grassroots on Bloor. A little more pricey, but at least you can avoid the shipping if you live in or can make it to Toronto.
