    20 Useful Things For People Who Consider Being Hydrated Their #1 Hobby

    If it's not H2O it's gotta go.

    1. A retro-style SodaStream sparkling water bundle that's so good looking it basically doubles as decor. With this, you can enjoy freshly carbonated water or flavored seltzer at the press of a (ridiculously chic) button.

    The bundle comes with the SodaStream Art device, two 60L Co2 cylinders, an additional two-pack of dishwasher-safe bottles, and two 40ml Bubly drops flavors: cherry and lime. 

    Promising review: "I love this thing. Looks cool and retro! Co2 lasts a while. It’s so fun to think of whatever flavors you could or want to try. Does not need electricity! The best sparkles and it’s a fun process. ✨" —Kelley Chaplain

    Get it from Amazon for $149.99+ (available in four colors). 

    2. A set of stackable ice cube trays for folks who are sick of old school ice cube trays. Make your bougiest beverages yet by filling the cubes with coffee, fruit, or juice. After that, simply freeze, flip, and plop your perfect ice cubes into the storage container!

    One TikToker fills the tray with lemon and ginger for their water. 

    Promising review: "I don't usually make reviews, but I am so impressed with this that I had to! I make homemade cold brew/iced coffee every morning and go through a lot of ice. So I have been thinking about making the splurge and buying a countertop ice maker or something. I saw the video of someone using this on here and was like whoa...whaaaat. Bought it immediately. And I am the happiest of happy. The ice stays covered as it is freezing. And then you just open, flip it upside-down, and push the cubes into the box at the bottom and put the lid back on! It also came with the cutest little ice tongs and scoop. 100 million % recommend!" —Sarah Lackie

    Get it from Amazon for $20.99 (available in two colors).

    3. An insulated tumbler cup with a straw lid and a slim design that'll fit in your car's cupholder so you can easily stay hydrated on the go! PSA: I bought this during my first trimester (because of my coworker's review!) and have used it every SINGLE day of my never-ending pregnancy. It's sitting beside me at this very moment.

    Here's why our BuzzFeed Shopping home & garden editor loves it: 

    "I am normally a very hydrated person, but when I was pregnant I took it to another level. I was always thirsty, and especially for really cold water. This tumbler kept my water cold for more than 12 hours each day, like literally the ice would not melt if I kept the lid sealed. I still use this tumbler every day, and I gave birth over six months ago! It's a keeper." —Sally Elshorafa

    Promising review: "I have only used this for ice water so far and it's AWESOME. I'm pregnant and this has helped me stay hydrated because I like my water very cold and this keeps my drink icy for hours. My favorite is when I wake up super thirsty in the morning and reach over to sip from this cup and the ice is still in tact and the water is nice and cold. Very impressed with the quality, and the color is very cute - I've already gotten lots of compliments on it." —mcs930

    4. A suspiciously chic flat water bottle sure to fit into any bag or backpack and thus, hydrate you throughout the day.

    Promising review: "You NEED this. This product is AMAZING. When I run errands, I hate bringing both a water bottle and coffee tumbler. This product solves that issue. I ran it through my dishwasher to clean it, and the plastic didn’t morph at all. 10/10 recommend!" —Megan Huffman

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in three colors). 

    6. A bird-shaped lemon juicer for adding a little somethin' somethin' to your water with an extra touch of citrus. The best part? Reviewers say this darling gadget works surprisingly well even though it's cheap cheap cheap!

    Promising review: "Perfect for several kids. We have all different kinds of cups. But even my 3-year-old can get off the side of the fridge and then fill it herself, and it’s a game changer. We tell them to pick the color you want, and that’s your cup for the rest of the day. Love it. 🥰" —Tiffany Gebers

    Psst — you can use these to freeze iced coffee or juice to add to your morning iced coffee or cocktails to cool them without watering them down! 

    Promising review: "I was at a restaurant and they put one of these roses in my cocktail. I knew right then I had to make these at home and ordered these while at the restaurant. These are easy to fill and have rubber snaps that lock them tight. They come right out and you can even take just one out and leave the others for the next time. These are a hit at all of my dinner parties too! I have already ordered more as my friends all want these in their drinks!" —Siri US

    Get it from Amazon for $5.79+ (each mold makes four available in two colors).

    10. A KitchenAid shaved ice attachment (you read that right!!) for giving your KitchenAid a new job when it's way too hot to be baking. Snow cones are the dessert we overly-hydrated folks live for.

    Promising review: "Love this bottle/soda maker. I am obsessed with fizzy drinks and cannot take my bulkier at-home maker with me to work or when I travel. This maker allowed me the compact convenience of taking my fizzy drinks everywhere I go. I can control what I put in my body and always get my flavors I love. 10 out of 10 do recommend! —Zeusboomer911

    Get it from Amazon for $54.99 (available in  seven colors).

    12. An under-the-sink water filtration system so you can grab a glass and drink straight from the sink, knowing it's already filtered perfection.

    The system hooked up in the cabinet under a kitchen sink (it's about the size of a small fire extinguisher)
    Amazon

    It has a two-step filter that removes 99.99% of contaminants, and it comes with direct connect hoses to hook right up to the standard 3/8" valves in US kitchen sinks. It's designed to be installed in under three minutes.

    Promising review: "We have town water and it seems they are putting more and more chlorine in it every year. We should be getting used to it and tasting it less and less, not more! The refrigerator filters are super expensive and weren't cutting it. Every time I put a glass to my mouth it smelled like a swimming pool. I searched the internet and decided to give this a try due to the positive reviews and affordability. Wow! Easy install (I'm an avid DIYer). And the taste! The chorine taste is just gone! No more overpriced fridge filters for us. I love that the filter replacement procedure is basically the same as a fridge. Just twist and remove. We love it so much I teed off the fridge line and put a dispenser at our sink as well. The flow on this thing is just amazing! And the water tastes great! Don't waste your money on the expensive, complicated ones. My parents have a three-chambered, name-brand filter at their house. It was expensive, the replacement filters are expensive, it is a pain in the petunias to replace the filters, and the flow rate is pathetic! But guess what! Our water from this filter tastes just as good as theirs at a fraction of the price, plus it's way more convenient, plus the flow rate is way better. I just can't say enough. Love, love it! You will too!" —BJ

    Get it from Amazon for $69.99.

    13. Or a stainless-steel faucet water filter that'll also give you filtered water straight from the tap! This filter reduces heavy metals, chemical impurities, sediment, and up to 99% of chlorine. 

    Promising review: "I think the water tastes very good. I can tell the difference between the filtered and unfiltered. I think it's even better than the bottled water I buy every week. My only complaint so far is that there's no warning light to let you know the filter needs changed. The manufacturer says to change every three months or so depending on taste. I am very satisfied with this purchase and know it will pay for itself by not having to buy cases of water every week. If something goes wrong, I will update this review." –DearPrudence

    Get it from Amazon for $36.99.

    14. A water filter and purifier bottle — this claims to remove protozoa, bacteria, and viruses with its electro-absorption and activated carbon system. If you're out in nature and in need of a drink, just fill this from any freshwater source, press down, et voila! You've got yourself a safe drink at-the-ready!

    Promising review: "My partner and I went to Chile this past week and had been advised that the water was not the same as ours in Rhode Island. The shipping was quick and, while there was a slight learning curve, I was able to easily use it! I'm glad we bought/brought it because our guides let us know that there is a mineral makeup that would have made us very ill. The quality is fantastic with no leakage. We honestly can't wait till our next trip (to Brazil or Africa) to use it there." —Vivian S.

    Get it from REI for $99.95 (available in four colors).

    15. A set of stackable stick-shaped ice molds that'll be a hit with anyone who refuses to drink out of anything other than their beloved water bottle. Thanks to these molds, you can actually fit ice cubes inside! Hydration here we come! 

    Promising review: "I got these to make ice cubes that I could fit into hot water bottles to make 'cold water bottles.' I'm in the big heat wave and it's been over 100 every day for the last week, with no sign of it letting up any time soon. These are quick and easy and the cold water bottles have been the only thing helping me sleep in a room anywhere between 80–90 degrees at night. I love the lids! It makes my ice trays easy to stack and more secure. I wish all ice trays came with lids like this!" —AJ Stark 

    Get a set of three from Amazon for $9.99+ (available with or without covers). 

    16. A four-pack of water enhancers you can easily store in your pocket if you need an exciting flavor in your water to keep yourself hydrated on a long run or workout.

    Promising review: "These are great water flavorings! I use these to enhance my water (flavor) and to cut down on sodas and while exercising." —ALF

    Get a pack of four from Amazon for $14.49 (available in lemonade or multi-flavor packs).

    17. A smart hydration monitor for folks who love staying hydrated throughout the day but need the extra reminder to stop and take a sip. This fits on any water bottle and lights up to alert you when it's time to take a drink. After 30–40 minutes, it'll start blinking so you know it's time to hydrate again!

    Promising review: "Absolutely LOVE this product!! It’s simple but impactful, and it has absolutely helped me drink more water throughout the day than I have in the past several years. I have tried pop-up reminders on my work computer (Outlook), apps on my phone, reminders from my FitBit, and posted signs near my desk, but nothing helps like this blinking light. I already had several reusable water bottles, so I sought an accessory; this item is much cheaper than 'smart bottles' and doesn’t need to be washed. :D It fits on water bottles of various sizes." –Michael Dorshimer

    Get it from Amazon for $25 (available in five styles).

    18. A BuildLife motivational water bottle (with over 30,000 5-star reviews!) that'll delight anyone who likes seeing major results each day. This giant water bottle is sure to prove how well you keep to your hydration goals! 

    Promising review: "This water bottle is large, easy to carry, and has an excellent handle/grip. The color pops and the writing is beautiful and legible. Very very very well made!" —Nakia Jackson

    Get one from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in 20 colors).

    19. A glass carafe so you can replace the plastic water bottle you've been filling up and keeping by your bedside table — in the prettiest way possible.

    This carafe set is mouth blown in borosilicate glass, which blows me away. All Maison Balzac glassware is heat resistant and technically dishwasher safe but hand-washing is recommended.

    20. And finally, a 12-pack of Liquid Death canned water that'll be beloved by anyone with a sense of humor and a hankering to murder their thirst

    I'm not shy about my inappropriate love for this water brand. I have sweatshirts, hats, and decor dedicated to it. My fridge is always stocked with the sparkling water. Now that they have flavors available? I need a bigger fridge. The Severed Lime is definitely the crowd favorite, but I like the subtle sweet taste of the Mango Chainsaw. You can find merch and drinks on their website or purchase packs of the cans on Amazon. Go forth and hydrate. 

    Promising review: "Liquid Death has been the trick to getting me to drink more water! Traditional seltzer waters are typically carbonated too harshly for my taste. I enjoy carbonation but would prefer something not so harsh. This absolutely is the trick. The best way I can describe it is having the same mouthfeel as beer. It's more soft and lacks any sort of bite also allowing them to be easily crushable. I go through Liquid Death quite literally like water. Easy five stars for me! My thirst has been murdered!" —Bryan D.

    Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in five flavors/styles and three pack sizes).

    Cheers!
