OXO Tot Twist Top Water Bottle Review - Updated

The children were recently sent some new drinks bottles from OXO Tot, they were an instant hit and replaced their usual night time drinks bottle.

Both the kids get thirsty in the night and to save on spillages we have always used a bottle, these bright and coloruful bottles have straws without any valves in, which make it really easy for them to drink from. 

Although not completely spill proof as we have had a few spills when the bottle is tipped up with the straw out.

However, straw closed, they don’t leak. The bottles also have a super handy hook you can hold on to or clip on to a bag, as well as lines on the side so you can measure how much liquid you are putting in and they are drinking.

They are easy to fill with a wide neck and the straw is long enough to ensure all the drink can be finished off.

Both the children have loved their new bottle, taking it out on trips with them and on sleepovers to their nana's house, they were in awe at the magic straw too.

They are dishwasher safe and BPA free, so are easy to look after and the perfect bottle for older children whatever they use them for. 

The bottles are really sturdy and so far stood the test of two children using them every day, priced at £8 I think this is a little more expensive than some you can find on the market, but these have a lot of functionally and for that I think they are worth the money.

UPDATE - We had only had these a month when one started leaking so I have had to replace it.

NB We were sent the bottles for the purpose of the review, all words and opinions are my own.

Why bother!

As I put the recycling out this morning, I remembered the bins the other day at a local country park we went for a picnic at for my husbands birthday.

With a recycling area and compostable toilets it was wonderful natural area with lots of flowers and birds.

However as we went to go home I noticed the bin, the one located right net to the recycling bins, cans and plastic bottles filled it to the brim and yet right next to it were the recycling bins?

This made little to no sense and the caring side of me almost wanted to sift through other peoples crap to put these things in the right place.

Are people really that ignorant/lazy/stupid that they couldn't take the two seconds to lift the lid up of the appropriate bin and place their items in it?

It really angered me that people could be so flipping selfish, we put ours in the recycling point and then took the glass home as there was no section for glass. It wasn't full and if anything a darn sight easier than trying to precariously place the things in the proper bin.

Rant over, but if you are somewhere that offers recycling please use it. It's there for a reason and every little helps!
