Best Gift Ideas for 2025

Updated: October 31, 2025

‘Tis the season for gifting. With the holidays on the horizon, don’t be caught last minute without a gift (yes, we’re talking to you).

While it may be tempting to search the internet for gift ideas for your significant other, kids, friends, or other loved ones, chances are you’ll find the same boring things you do every year: candles, cufflinks, and socks. Instead, give them something they’ll actually be excited about and use every day.

Here are a few Owala products that are awesome gifts for all your favorite water-drinking humans (and furry friends).

FreeSip®

A bottle with a two-way straw that lets you sip or swig? Yeah, we know it seems like a fantasy, but it’s real—and available in all kinds of colors. Plus, the internet is obsessed with the FreeSip water bottle (some even call it “life-changing”). So if you really want to rock their world, this is the one to get.

Shop now and they’ll thank you forever.

FreeSip® Twist

Some people gift candles. You? You gift greatness. This water bottle is a twist (literally) of our fan-favorite bottle—same genius sip-or-swig straw, but with a twist-off lid and super sleek design that fits easily in bags. Bonus: It can also handle carbonation for the soda lovers out there. Let’s just say this stylish bottle will outshine every other present in the pile.

Check ‘em all out.

FreeSip® Sway and Tumbler

If your loved ones are serious about hydration and always on the move, the FreeSip Sway (or FreeSip Tumbler) are the ultimate gifts for them. They’re basically our original FreeSip, but with a tapered design that fits into cupholders (while still holding a whole lot of water).

The FreeSip Sway has a bucket handle that makes it the ultimate outdoor companion, while the FreeSip Tumbler has a side handle that’s easy to grab whether you’re at work, on the road, or at a workout class. Gift this and you’ll become their favorite person ever… guaranteed.

Go ahead, take a look.

24 oz and 40 oz Tumblers

Looking for a gift that’s both stylish and functional? Our stainless steel tumblers are perfect! They have a 2-in-1 lid (with a removable straw) for versatile sips. It also has double-wall vacuum insulation, so drinks stay cold for hours—ideal for iced coffee, smoothies, or refreshing water on the go.

Available in various colors and sizes, these eco-friendly, BPA-free tumblers feature a wide mouth for easy filling and cleaning, plus a secure lid to prevent spills. This holiday season, give the gift of hydration with our stainless steel tumblers—your loved ones will love using them every day!

Our tumblers come in two sizes (and the 40oz tumbler even has a handle). Get them here.

SmoothSip® Slider

Because lukewarm coffee is a crime. The SmoothSip Slider keeps your drink hot or cold, your outfit drop free, and your mornings oh so smooth. With its leak-proof slider lid and sleek stainless steel design, it’s the mug that understands you’re just doing your best before 9 a.m.

And it comes in colors so good, you might have a hard time giving it away—but trust us, it’s the gift they’ll never stop using (or bragging about).

Available in the SmoothSip Slider and SmoothSip Slider with handle.

Kids’ Bottles

Don’t forget the little ones in your life. Whether you’re shopping for your own kids, nieces and nephews, or friends’ kids, why not keep them happy and hydrated with bottles created in a size just for them. The Kids’ FreeSip is just like our original stainless steel FreeSip, while our Kids’ Tumbler comes in stainless steel or durable, BPA-free plastic that can handle the rough and tumble life.

Pet Bowls

Because pets deserve only the best. With stainless steel construction, a non-slip base, and colors so good you’ll want a matching bottle of your own (duo gift anyone?), it’s the present that keeps tails wagging and pet parents smiling. Shop the Pet Bowl.

Accessories

Are they already an Owala superfan? (Consider us flattered.) If they already have a bunch of bottles, why not give them a Bottle Boot to protect their favorite Owala bottle from getting scratched or dented? Or a Bottle Brush to keep that collection squeaky clean. Or—for the strategically lazy ones—think smarter, not harder and give them our Ecobrite tablets that clean their bottle while they relax.

The Ultimate Gifts

Owala products have been featured (and raved about) on Well + Good, Serious Eats, SELF, and more—and they’ve gone viral on TikTok. And we’re willing to bet your loved one will be the next to rave about us.
