    You’ll buy it once and use it basically forever.

    1. A set of reusable silicone straws that'll replace all the single-use plastic straws you'd normally use. They're super flexible, easy to clean, and a great alternative to metal straws, which can be hard on teeth and change temperature depending on whether you’re drinking a hot or cold beverage.
