Now admittedly it’s probably filled with Norwegian tap water, but for £1.80 it’s reusable, glass, looks quite smart and at 800ml capacity should be enough for most people without being too hefty.
I think getting an insulated bottle like something from Klean Kanteen is the best purchase you can make. It’s rather expensive, but you’ll never go back after having ice cold water or hot coffee all day long.
I got one in Waitrose in Kings Cross station. Similar price to this offer. The bottle itself is very good quality, very sturdy. Thick glass and a nice weight to it. The top is plastic but should survive quite a while with normal usage.
I can’t deny, the Voss bottles were aesthetically pleasing.
Along similar lines, I hardly ever eat Gu puddings - but when they’re on offer and I’m in need of some small glass pots, they’re quite handy!
I also know someone who uses washed-out Nutella pots (the smallest size, I think) as mugs/beakers. Though I’ve only ever bought the larger sizes which are very definitely jar-shaped and thus of limited repurposing use.
My friend started collecting these during lockdown to create little handmade candles! They’re excellent jars for that! Bonne Mamam conserve jars too for bigger ones!
As for the voss bottles, I have a cupboard full of them now in the pantry. It’s the smaller 375ml ones I like. Couldn’t get those in Asda but I’d been getting those delivered from Ocado for years. I don’t like throwing those bottles out. They’re too nice.
Not fancy in any way but I recently switched to these big boys. Was struggling to finish the bottle before but it’s been a doddle since the weather turned .
