I have developed a strange, unspoken agreement with the hospital gods.
In September 2024, I took my son to the children’s hospital for suicidal ideations. He was kept overnight and admitted to the psych floor the next day. Somewhere between entering the hospital and saying goodbye, my Hydroflask disappeared. It had belonged to my late brother and disappeared on the anniversary of his death.
My Hydroflask had been my brother’s, and I was devastated to lose it.
Three months, and a new Hydroflask later, my son was struggling again, and we went back to the hospital. Once again, my Hydroflask vanished.
A few nights ago, my son asked me to take him to the hospital again. His mind was racing and his anxiety was high. He was afraid he was going to feel like harming himself or others again. I took him to the children’s hospital and noticed my Hydroflask was missing when we arrived at the psych unit.
I determined that the cost of getting my son back safely was a Hydroflask. I sent a message to customer care telling them my story and how I would be buying a new Hydroflask to have an offering ready the next time my son was in crisis.
When he was being discharged, I walked out of the hospital to bring my car to the front, then walked back to the unit to retrieve him, keeping an eye out for the bottle the whole time. As I passed the security desk again, I noticed my Hydroflask perched on the corner in plain sight. I thanked the hospital gods for returning my offering and took my son home.
A brand-new Hydroflask was delivered to my house the other day, accompanied by a note from customer service sending their well wishes for my baby boy.
Thank you, Hydroflask, for your generous gift, and thank you to my friends and family for sticking by me through these tough months. I don’t know what the future looks like, but I have my offering ready, and my son is safe, healthy, and home.

Hydro Flask is simply top tier. Head of the curve. Even better performance than what they advertise at times. I've had mine for about 6 years and performance has not dipped. Hot beverage stays hot all day and is still warm the next day. Same with cold beverages. It just does what it's supposed. I've become a loyal Hydro Flask supporter just from one purchase. When anyone asks about getting a bottle, I immediately say Hydro Flask. Special edition cups, and the variety of sizes from 12 to 42 oz is a beautiful treat. Next thing is that my bottle never leaks, the seal is consistent even with all the bruises I've afflicted to mine. Caps are interchangeable from wide mouth to the others in most cases. I must say that you'll probably need a tool to reach inside the bottle to clean stains if you drink stainy liquids and don't clean immediately. 10/10 recommend.

It is so confusing to buy something these days as you have tons of options and all look good. It’s hard to decide what is good or what is not good so I always try to check reviews of that particular product or few different products and compare them to get something which is perfect for my need and also a quality product. I am ready to pay more if I get something which is the best for me and my family. I wanted to get a water bottle for myself and my kids and there are tons of them looking beautiful attractive but I wanted something which keep my water as it is for long hours, dishwasher safe and easy to carry at the same time. I found hydroflask have many options, sizes and styles to pick from and they are perfect for my need. I bought Hydro Flask Wide Straw Lid Flask 24 oz and 32 oz in PINEAPPLE and CARNATION. I like them as they have wide Mouth these bottles are made with professional grade stainless steel and a wider opening for faster fill and their powder coating colors are beautiful. They claim that their bottles keeps the water cold for 24 hrs and hot for atleast 12 hrs and I found their claim is true I keep the water with ice which stays cold for many hours and hot stays hot. Having hydro flask helped me increase my water intake and the straw is comfortable and it’s easy to open and close. I like it and it doesn’t leak. I bought this to carry it outside the house when running errands and for hikes and road trips. It fits perfectly in the cup holder which is a plus point for me. It’s dishwasher safe and so easy to clean with hand as well what else I can ask for I love it and have three of them as my whole family loves to drink their water from hydro flask and it’s healthy.

I love these bottles. We were going on a vacation where it is very hot. We wanted a bottle that would keep our water cold for a long time and would not change the taste of the water. This checked all the boxes. The water stayed cold and tasted good. Loved that it was available in so many pretty colors and styles. My daughters chose ones with straws and loved them so much that they have let go of their old favorites and have taken these to college with them. I also love that they are dishwasher safe, leak proof and have a lifetime warranty. I have seen in other reviews that since they are light weight they can get dinged but do far ours are holding our really well. My husband initially did not want one but now he has takes mine when he heads to the squash court. Definitely recommend!
