Straws are always in hot demand around my house. I don’t know what it is that makes a drink more exciting, enticing, sophisticated or fun about slurping it through a round narrow tube, but somehow they’re just irresistible! The little boo is currently in one of those independent stages where everything is “NO! Me do!” Which means she wants to do everything by herself and make her own choices. I have a fliptop container with different colored straws on my counter, which is the source of much pondering and choosing (and often re-choosing mid-drink!).
All this straw madness leads to the inevitable horror of running out of straws. Or worse, trying to wash flimsy plastic straws and save them, discarding the most chewed-looking ones and wondering how sanitary this really is.
I knew there had to be a better way, and the lovely folks at Eco at Heart have found it: High quality stainless steel drinking straws! I know, right? It’s brilliant.
These are perpetually, endlessly reusable which means you’ll never have to buy another package of plastic straws. This is fantastic for your wallet as well as the environment. Imagine the tons of waste that could be saved if everyone switched to these. It’s kind of mind-boggling.
They have a sleek, modern look that really fits with any table decor. I also love that they come with a slim cleaning brush to help keep them shiny clean on the inside.
To help celebrate the launch of their new product, Eco at Heart are having a fun contest on Instagram. Go here to check out the details. They’re giving away two $50 Amazon.com gift cards for the most ‘liked’ Instagram post that uses their logo and the hashtag #ecoatheart…the more creative, the better. Plus they’re also randomly giving away one set of straws to 25 individual people who register for the competition by filling out their name and email and following them on IG @ecoatheart. One entry per person, the winners will be notified by email and will have 3 days to respond with their shipping details or they will re-draw if required.
So what are you waiting for? Kick back, make a drink (preferably with an Eco at Heart Straw!) and get those creative juices flowing.
I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
