Welcome back, Skimm Shoppers.

Breaking news: we want to hear from you. We’re about to launch our new series, (Not So) Silly Little Treat, in which we ask Skimm’rs (aka you) to put on your writer hats and tell us about the joy-sparking products you’ve been buying. So fill out this form and keep your eyes peeled in the next few weeks. 👀

want vs. need

water bottles

We all know of those buzzworthy items that are practical enough for us to need them, but trendy enough to simply want them. Up first: two water bottle options in the quest of 💦extreme hydration💦.

What we want: Hydroflask’s All Around Travel Tumbler ($39.95)

  • Buy it if you love your beverages ice cold, are constantly in the car, or hate having to refill your water bottle.

  • Skip it if you don’t feel like lugging around what’s supposed to be a “travel tumbler,” or don’t want to shell out nearly $40.

What we need: Asobu’s Juggler ($13.99)

  • Buy it if you’re looking for a budget-friendly option that’s easy to clean, lightweight, and has a soft silicone straw.

  • Skip it if you hate water that’ll eventually hit room temperature.
