Best birthday gifts for her

Everybody loves getting a thoughtful gift. Whether she’s interested in beauty, fitness or making the perfect charcuterie board, there’s a gift idea for her ahead.

Stanley The Quencher H2.0 FlowState tumbler (40 oz.)

You can’t go wrong with gifting a cult-favorite Stanley cup. Pictured is one of the newest colors, iris, but you can check this link to see all the Quencher H2.0 FlowState tumbler colors that are in stock on the Stanley site.

People swear by 40-ounce Stanley Quencher cups ($45) because they keep water ice cold for 11 hours, have a convenient handle, fit in car cup holders despite their large size and have a straw that makes staying hydrated just a little more fun. They come in a rainbow of appealing pastel hues and have garnered quite a buzz among influencers — so much so that the Stanley site has a 20-item limit on how many cups you’re allowed to order in response to Stanley hoarders and resellers. The viral version of the Stanley cup is the 40-ounce model, likely because drinking two of them almost equals the suggested daily water intake for women, taking the guesswork out of drinking enough water each day. Stanley also makes a smaller 30-ounce version of its Quencher H2.0 FlowState tumbler ($35) and a massive new 64-ounce version ($60).

Why we like Stanley cups:

They’re huge, so they require fewer refills, which may encourage you to drink more water.
They come in eye-catching colors.
They sell out often, so it’s fun to collect rare colors.
