Stanley
Stanley surely needs no introduction. The brand literally invented vacuum bottles in 1913. But Stanley hasn’t rested on its laurels — it’s continued to innovate and create compelling products that have changed the way we consume our piping hot or ice-cold liquids on the run. The Classic Trigger-Action Travel Mug is part of that tradition, and it’s ideal for the holiday season. For either a stocking stuffer or for your own use as you get ready for those hectic holiday travel days, the 16 oz. Trigger-Action Travel Mug is a welcome addition. Capable of keeping your coffee hot for that seven-hour road trip or your cocktail frosty for a 10-hour train journey, this travel mug will keep you hydrated and won’t spill with its trigger-action, push-button lid for one-hand drinking. And with a lifetime warranty and unbreakable construction, you can get used to having it by your side.
