The budol is real for items that are not only A) cute and B) practical for everyday use but are also C) reasonably priced. Case in point, these items we’ve recently seen on our timelines and will be adding to our carts ASAP. From the latest flasks and tumblers to must-have work-slash-travel bags, here’s everything that’s worth your hard-earned money.
It’s sustainable, it’s reasonably priced, and, most of all, it’s customizable — who could resist? Sunnies Studios recently announced a new product that will drop in stores and online on February 24. The Sunnies Flask might be just another tumbler in your cupboard, but trust us, this one is too cute to handle. It’s priced at P995 for a 25oz bottle, cap, and loop set in solid colors. But if you own enough in different colors, you can actually mix and match according to your mood. Since it comes in 23 colors, you can make 300,000 color combinations. How mindblowing is that?
Life is too short to spend it drinking from boring tumblers, not when the Owala bottles exist. The Utah-based company has found fame on TikTok where influencers and normal folk have been raving about them left and right. Owala FreeSip bottles come with fancy triple-layer insulation to ensure drinks retain their temperature for over 24 hours. But what makes the FreeSip such a hot commodity are its tiny details. You can use the built-in straw to sip your drinks or chug through the wide-mouth opening. Pushing the button will flip the lock open which doubles as a handle for when you want to carry it. Unlike other water bottles with exposed rims and straws, the FreeSip has a cap that not only keeps out the germs but also makes the bottle leak-proof. On top of that, it’s also available in dazzling color options.
Owala is available at Amazon starting at $19.99 (roughly Php 1,118). Amazon ships free to the Philippines for orders $49 and above so you might want to add more to your cart.

Watch out for the launch on February 23 at Beyond the Vines’ official website starting at Php 3,294.

An earphone that doubles as a glam ear accessory? A must-have! In-ear earbuds are cool, but Huawei FreeClip’s open-ear listening technology is a game changer.

The open-ear design lets you stay aware of your surroundings, but the earbuds also deliver sterling sound quality.
