A product we use in our own home: Sesen Reusable Water Bottles

Now that summer is once again upon us and the warm weather is here I want to revisit a product I first told you about last year.

Our family owns two Sesen recycled glass water bottles. Although I dearly love my morning coffee and an icy cold Diet Coke once in a while, I'm absolutely an 'ice water' drinker and prefer water over any other drink, at almost any time.

Our home reuses (refills) bottled water containers and buys very few. Something I noticed about two or three years ago is that myself, my husband, my oldest daughter and my son all, at one time or another, invested in a glass bottled water product at the store and each of us was refilling it and taking it with us. Not only did we like reusing the glass containers and not adding to the rubish in the environment, but we all liked the taste of cold water from glass better than plastic.

With all this background you can see why I was delighted to try the Sesen reuseable water bottles last year. The glass bottle is dishwasher friendly, made in Italy, scratch resistant and uses lead-free white ink. The rubber stopper is an 'old fashioned' touch that I prefer over screw on plastic caps. Made in Italy, it's pure rubber, stainless steel, BPA free and 100% recycleable. The bottles come with an ice blanket you can use that is made in Canada, contains pure water (no chemicals) and is recycleable (#7). Lastly, the glass bottles are sent with a plastic bottle bag. "Plastic" you ask? Yes. Made in the USA from 100% recycled water/soda bottles it's washing machine friendly and uses up the waste bottles your neighbor tosses 3 of into the trash every day with their bottled waters!

I've had ours for about a year now. I can happily report the glass hasn't got one scratch on it and the rubber stopper still seals as good as ever. They fit perfectly in the cup holder in my vehicle and I like to keep one there at all times, refilling and replacing. I don't often use the ice pack and bag, but the glass bottle is a constant in my car. You can buy them (and find out more about them) at Sesen's website - here.
