Dane is about to turn five and knows how important this is for all of us to take part in. This almost brings tears to my eyes each time he asks questions about cutting down trees or polluting our oceans - yes he actually discusses these topics frequently. I was very excited to receive two new and awesome products from Cool Gear recently.
Cool Gear provides all sorts of eco-friendly products that just about anyone can use. They have everything from reusable cups and self filtering water bottles to salad containers and ice blocks for entertaining. Its great see such a variety from a company trying contribute in a fun way to the three R's (reduce, reuse, recycle). "Since 1986, we have been conceptualizing and developing ideas, turning them into products and bringing them to the marketplace. We deliver innovative and imaginative products to the marketplace while providing a 100% customer satisfaction policy."
I received the coolgearcan™ and the 22 oz Vortex to review which perfectly complimented a few other Healthy Living gadgets I happen to be reviewing at the same time! The Vortex mug/cup is truly a sleek design. Whats great is it has double wall insulation so I can keep both hot and cold beverages at the correct temps. The spill proof design saves me tons of stress since I carry my beverages every where I go and we know what a hazard the little ones can be!
Now the coolgearcan™ I found to be especially "cool" as I had actually bought one from Target a while back. It conveniently fits in most cup holders and works great for me when making my own soda (from my Soda Stream machine) to car just like I would any other can. The difference is this is reusable and I don't have to worry about taking cans back to the recycling center to get my can deposit back!
Although this one has a Spill-proof slider lid, I wouldn't recommend shaking this upside down over your computer or anything. Both glasses are BPA Free but the coolgearcan™ should be hand washed only whereas the Vortex cup can be easily thrown in the dishwasher for clean up. The coolgearcan™ also comes in a TON of different patterns and colors so you could have a hard time deciding on just one like we did!
Cost/Available to purchase: $11.99 - 22oz Vortex
$9.99 - 16oz coolgearcan™

Recommendation: I would recommend these "cool" products to everyone and anyone. Cool Gear not only makes a difference but can also save you money. Each time I check out their site they have new creative products for everyone and anyone to use - kids or adults. Over the last few years I have bought myself several other Cool Gear products when I find them in stores.

(Cool Gear Inc. 16 oz. Can + 22 oz Vortex Review ) This looks like a nice cup to have for in my car. I am always spilling stuff in the car all the time it seems, this would really help to stop that problem for me.
ReplyDeleteI. WANT. this! I'm the same way, carry drinks with me everywhere and with a toddler up my butt all day and another newbie on the way, this would be such a life saver! I'm still not totally certain on how the top works, but the resealable can top is such a cool idea!
ReplyDeleteThese are nice containers and I like that they are reusable and have seals to close them. I usually buy soda in 2-liter bottles and just use a glass mug at home, but this would be good for when we are driving around town. Thanks for the info.
ReplyDeleteI am loving the owl water container. I think it is sweet that your son is so concerned about the environment! We need more people like him <3
ReplyDeleteThe spill proof slider because i am allways spilling stuff.and it looks safe to use.
ReplyDeleteThese are all really cute. I like the flower power cool gear can. This would be perfect for me in the summer.
ReplyDeleteLove that it can be put in the dishwasher...that's a big plus for me!
ReplyDeleteI would like to try the owl water container!!
ReplyDeleteI would love to try the coolgearcan. Though I think you're right, I would have a really hard time deciding on the designs. I've seen these around and every design is cute, colorful, and fun. These would be great for my kids as well. Perfect for the family that's on the go.
ReplyDeleteez-freeze pure® 64oz filtration bottle would be a great way to get your 8 glasses of water a day and the handle makes it easy to take with you
ReplyDeleteI would love to try the CoolGear can in the owl design! I love owls and I think these cans are so adorable and make drinking water fun for kids and adults too!
ReplyDeleteI would love to try the salad container since i like to send big healthy salads with my husband to work for his lunch. I always have trouble finding a suitable container for this purpose.
ReplyDeleteThe 16oz Mason Jar with graphics is super looking and I'd love to try it out!
ReplyDeleteThe coolgear can is a really neat idea and a great way to bring soda from home without causing waste (since there is hardly ever a place to recycle on the go in NYC...)
ReplyDeleteI really like the cans. They have cool designs & you can cover/close the drinking hole so bees can't get into it when you set it down.
ReplyDeleteI really like the coolgear can because it comes in different designs, and is resealable -- so bees can't get into it when you set it down for a minute.
ReplyDeleteThe owl water container is simply adorable!!
ReplyDeleteI really like the idea of the self filtering water bottles--it's hard for us to break the habit of store bought water (yes, we absolutely recycle), I don't like all the plastic we end up using on a regular basis, yet our tap water is just awful. We've tried 2 other filtering systems, they just didn't work out for us (the taste, and the extreme inconvenience that these particular water filtering systems entailed), maybe something as simple as one cup at a time would be feasible/practical for us. Never thought of that.

ReplyDeleteI would like the Vortex cup, because you are able to put in the dishwasher.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to get the 16oz Mason Jar as it comes in plastic which I didn't know there were plastic mason jars out there! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting idea! I didn't even realize they had cans like this. The Irish would be great for my daughter.
ReplyDeleteI would like to have the 16oz coolgearcan™ in Blueberry Burst.
ReplyDeleteI would like to have one of the 16oz coolgearcan™ in Blueberry Burst.
ReplyDeleteI love both are BPA free. Plus, I love the colors!

The owl water container is simply adorable!!!
ReplyDeletejust love it ;) thanks for another awesome giveaway!! ;) @tisonlyme143
The owl water container is what I love my daughter collects everything owls so she would just love using it. I like that they don't spill to and keep the drinks cool too
ReplyDeleteI would love to try the Cool Gear ez-freeze pure 30oz bottle
ReplyDeleteI love that you can carry it with you, we live out of town and by the time we get to town we want to buy a drink this would most definetly work for my family
ReplyDeleteI like the plain blue plastic bottle with no design on it.
ReplyDeleteI would like to try the coolgear cutlery.
ReplyDeleteAll of the bottles are nice, but I like the filter pitcher very much!
ReplyDeleteThe Cool Gear is just that. I love all the designs available but what I like more than the designs is it gives me a way to drink our water on the go right from the tap without buying water in all those plastic bottles that fill many landfills or you have to take back for recycle but what happens from there bothers me too. The ez-freeze pure 30oz bottlefilter & freezer stick system has enough water to meet my needs on the go and the filter means I can drink from the tap because it filters it for me and the freezer stick keeps it cold. They thought of everything. Thanks for sharing this review~!
ReplyDeleteI really could use the salad spinner. Im working on loosing 50 lbs and eating a lot of mixed greens. It would be nice to have this to clean them!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to have the 22 oz Vortex - it just looks cool! And it seems like a really nice way to keep things from spilling.
ReplyDeleteThe 22 oz Vortex looks cool from Cool Gear, I'd like to try this out, lots of running around in our home and a need for bringing drinks with us on the go.
ReplyDeleteI like the Ledge 20 Bottle in Pink. I like the sipper cap on it.
ReplyDeleteLove this product line for sure! I especially love the self filtering water bottles..... simply awesome! Thanks so much for the fabulous post, review and giveaway with the Nutri Bullet System and this wonderful water bottle!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to try the Vortex. I'm always on the lookout for good water bottles now that I've started taking water everywhere!
ReplyDeleteI would love to have the Vortex cup because it is dishwasher safe!
ReplyDeleteI really like the Reef 20oz bottle. It'd be perfect for what I need!
ReplyDeleteI would love the 22 oz Vortex as this would be great when I walk on the treadmill
ReplyDeleteWe do traveling in the summer and these would be great for the car.
ReplyDeleteThese Cool Gear products look very useful. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI would like to try the Vortex 22 oz. My wife carries something to drink every time she goes out. It sounds like it would be great to prevent spills.
