FYO logoTM FILL YOUR OWN

DSC 0069 FILL YOUR OWN There are a lot of options for reusable water bottles out there but they’re definitely not all created equally! Many companies are jumping on the bandwagon without adequate testing resulting in that icky metallic taste I’ve come across with other stainless steel bottles. This Canadian company, Fill Your Own, creates bottles that are made from high quality 18-8 stainless steel, they are phthalate and BPA free and have no lining – important to note now more than ever with the new info released about other stainless steel bottles containing BPA in their liners!!

Fill Your Own bottles are “carbon neutral”. This means that the company takes responsibility for the greenhouse emissions that are generated by offsetting the manufacturing and shipping with carbon credits. Also, as a member of 1% for the Planet, Fill Your Own donates 1% of their sales to environmental organizations.

Annette Yang {the mom behind the bottle} wanted to create alternatives that were earth friendly, functional and appealing to both kids and adults. Every Fill Your Own bottle is printed with custom artwork from local Canadian designers making these bottles stand out from the rest.

hangingout sm FILL YOUR OWNFor review, we received 3 bottles that our family is loving! Aside from the beautiful artwork that you won’t see anywhere else, my other reasons for reaching for this bottle everyday are:

  • the mouth is wide enough for ice cubes – I’m continually frustrated with stainless steel bottles that aren’t wide enough! I looooove my water ice cold so ice cubes are a must! Hey, a pregnant mama needs her ice!!
  • the caps are truly leak free which is a lifesaver for my diaper bag and when Aidan tosses his bottle around in the backseat
  • the bottles are 100% recyclable {compare that to the thousand years it takes your plastic bottle to decompose!}
  • the 3 different lids you can choose from make it easy to customize the bottle for whoever will be using it. There’s a sports flip lid, straw flip lid {awesome for kids} and twist top with a carabiner.

    These unique bottles are available for purchase throughout Canada in store and online. Click here for a list of retailers to find your favorite Fill Your Own reusable bottle. There are styles and sizes for everyone’s taste {350ml, 750ml and 1000ml} and prices start are approx $20-$30 depending on the size and where you make your purchase.

About Amanda

I'm Amanda. I started Natural Mommie in 2009 and have been turning mommies from eco-weak to eco-chic ever since! Having an intense addiction to sparkly pink strawberry flavored lipgloss and never claiming to be perfectly green I vowed to not give up my hip mama self once I became a mom and wanted to bring a little more organic into my life. My closet still isn’t full of organic cotton and bamboo, but it’s getting there!
