What it is: 20oz Bottle, $26, Alex

Why we love it: Reusable water bottles are a dime a dozen but when our online health editor, Robyn Shanks found this pull-apart one chock full of fabulous features, we just had to share it. Made from 100% BPA-free premium grade stainless steel, the dishwasher-safe, reusable ALEX bottle is the perfect size for car cup holders (hallelujah!) and the wide mouth fits ice cubes (hip hip hooray!) and is smoothie- and protein powder-friendly (amen). Use the bottom half as a cup or seal it up with the unique centre lock that twists apart easily, allowing you to clean (I mean REALLY clean) it will ease.

Shopper's note: These bottles are so popular that the company is having trouble keeping them in stock -- BUT don't worry they are making the wait worth your while with a coupon for 15% off your wait-listed purchase!
