Everything old is new again…

The ols stand-by

The old stand-by

Every year I go to half a dozen trade shows and see thousands of products but only a very few stand out. This year at the Home and Housewares Show in Chicago I spent some time nostalgically looking at Stanley bottles. De rigueur for farmers and construction workers nation wide. I imagine at least one rolling around in every truck in America. Thermos just can’t compare and they have drifted to a more contrived style rather than Stanley’s restrained new look with contemporary uses (see their tea infuser).

Of course, all bottle styles make great tea with a Teastick. But if your looking for a gift for that special some(man)body go no further than the wide mouthed flask from Stanley. Built for the last drop!

Just a nip to sweeten your tea!

Stumble it!

    I’m gonna get that flask now. Myself and everyone I know has the old Stanley thermos. And yes they are rolling around in every truck in America. By the way, Gamil should have a link to Gmail here.

    Hi Chuckles-

    The link to GMAIL is at the top right - the sentence that says “Looking for gmail?”.
    I will also link the actual word gmail in the paragraph just to make it more clear.

    Thanks for your comment.
