My Top 4 Drinkware Picks for 2025: A Sip of My Soul

Lately, I’ve been into drinkware. Whenever I go shopping, I check on new mugs, tumblers or any new drinkware product I can use. Here’s my take on the top four drinkware items I am obsessed with this year. Grab a drink, and let’s dive in.

1. Protein Shakers: My Yoga Buddy

Bottles with bamboo caps

I’ve been taking yoga classes lately to enjoy peacetime, and my custom-printed protein shakers have become my sidekick. I have the ones with built-in mixing grids. What hooked me is that they’re not just for protein anymore. I’ve been tossing in electrolytes or even a quick smoothie when running late. The snap lids stay shut in my gym bag.

2. Eco-Friendly Bottles: Sipping with a Clear Conscience

One of my New Year’s resolutions is to reduce waste this year and try to be more eco-conscious, so eco-friendly printed water bottles have recently become my confidante. These beauties are crafted from recycled glass or stainless steel and have a history. My favourite? One with a bamboo cap and a serene sage finish is stylish and sustainable.

3. Teapot Sets: My Cozy Ritual Reborn

I’ve always loved tea—something about it slows me down, especially on rainy nights when the world feels too loud. This year, teapot sets are stealing my heart. They’re not the fussy, old-lady kind my grandma had; 2025’s versions are bold—think chunky ceramic pots in mustard yellow or deep teal paired with cups that feel handmade. I found a set with this funky, asymmetrical handle that’s become my go-to for winding down.

Brewing a pot of chamomile in it feels like a hug. Some sets come with infusers that don’t let a single leaf sneak through, and the way they pour—smooth, no drips—makes me weirdly proud. It’s less about the tea and more about the moment: me, my teapot, and a quiet corner.

4. Personalised Thermal Mugs: My Coffee’s New Best Friend

Mornings are important and sacred to me; no one can question my hot coffee rituals. It’s like coffee completes my day. It’s an ick when coffee gets lukewarm before I drink it. As a busy working mom juggling between jobs and family, multi-tasking here and there, I have no time to make coffee every minute, and I know thermal mugs are heaven-sent. I have double-walled personalised thermal mugs in rusty orange that fit perfectly under my coffee maker—what pure bliss.

Here’s to 2025’s Sips

To summarise, my custom-branded protein shakers pump me up, eco-friendly bottles ease my conscience, teapot sets warm me up, and thermal mugs keep my coffee alive. They’re not just drinkware. Each has its flavour and story, and I love how they make every sip feel like mine.

Since I’ve been to drinkware lately, I also thought of buying bulk orders and giving it a giveaway at any special events. Who knew? It might interest me to make it a business.
