The Search for the Perfect Kids Stainless Water Bottle

Sippy cups are the bane of my existence. I can't stand assembling them, fiddling with all the tiny pieces in the dishwasher, keeping track of them... I can't stand that they leak, that the pieces go missing, that they eventually fall apart. And most of all, I can't stand how ugly they usually are. My sister has switched her girls to superchic, and ecofriendly, SIGG water bottles, and while my daughters also have a couple, they prefer straws to spouts, so I am in search of a girly, chic stainless water bottle with a straw. So far, this is one of the only ones I've been able to find. Cute, but not amazing:

1. Nathan Stainless Steel 24 oz. Flip Straw Bottle in "Love" design: link

2. Nathan Straw Bottle in Pink Ribbon Design: Adorable, but is the breast cancer motif inappropriate for a child. I also just realized how huge 24 oz is... link

3. Camelbak Better Bottle in Icons design: Cute, retro modern design, but I wish there was a pink version...link

4. FUNtainer Leak Proof Stainless Steel Bottle in Love Design: Love the colors and the halo, but is that a camo print...? link

5. Thermos Foogo Straw Bottle in Pink: Finally, pink, but it's so plain. We had one of these and lost it, and it worked really well, but I'd like something with more pizzazz. link

6. Thermos FUNtainer straw bottle in Princess: Cute, but does it say "punk." Wish I could see the whole thing. link

7. Contigo Autoseal kids mugs: Finally, a cup that is truly no spill... Too bad it doesn't have a straw. I might consider this later. link
