Lavish, Lime & Laken ~ AND A GIVEAWAY!

Let's talk sharing. It's such an important skill for kids to learn, don't you think? I sure do! But not only for kids! I must say that I sure share a LOT more since I became a Mommy. Almost everything must now be shared with my kids. :) My food is shared, my kitchen utensils, pots, and pans are shared, my mug of tea is shared...you get the idea. :) I don't mind at all...but there is one thing that I may not have to share anymore...my water bottle! Tate now has his very own kid sized Laken bottle from Lavish & Lime. And is it ever cute and fun! He loves it. It has gone everywhere with him since he opened up the package and VERY impatiently waited for me to wash it so he could use it. ;) From our short time of having a Laken Bottle in our home, I can already tell you that these bottles are high quality, and durable enough for any child (or adult!) Laken bottles are made with pure aluminum and have a FDA-approved inner coating that completely covers the aluminum - so NO liquids will ever come in contact with the aluminum. In fact, the inner lining is an epoxy- resin of high molecular weight which is BPA-free and will never be affected by temperature, dents, acidic fluids, alcohol and even purifying tablets. Laken bottles are lightweight, and have walls that are 30% thicker than all other aluminum bottles...thus making it MUCH more resistant to blows. I love this feature as I'm sure that our Laken bottle will be taking many blows in the next years. There are many other benefits to using a Laken bottle...here are just a handful of them:

**Laken bottles are made in Spain...not China! YAY!!
**They will not have any steely aftertaste (some say stainless steel bottles cause this aftertaste)
**The inner coating will never flake or crack
**Laken bottles are made of 99.7% aluminum, 100% recyclable, without any polluting effect
**They are dishwasher safe

So, are you jealous yet of all the kiddo's that get to enjoy these Laken bottles? Well, don't be! :) Lavish & Lime carries a great selection of Laken bottles for both adults and kids...so you can equip everyone in your family with their very own. But perhaps you're thinking that you'll need more than just a water bottle...Lavish & Lime can make your lunches, picnics, road trips, camping trips, etc. complete! I can't think of any kid who wouldn't love one of their Munchler insulated animal lunch bags to go along with their funky water bottle! These are just adorable...and not only is it a lunch bag, but the lunch bag actually folds out into a place mat for your little one to eat off of. Or what about a Gourmet Getaway for us parents? These zippered neoprene totes will keep your food hot or cold for up to 4 hours, and they stretch...so you can squeeze that extra container in there! And if that's not your style, well, you could always try Lavish & Lime's Eco Basket. These are lightweight, waterproof AND collapsible. Perfect for picnics, camping, a beach trip...or even for shopping.
