Stanley tumblers, the popular water bottles, are rapidly increasing in demand and have become a nationwide staple. Since they started trending last summer, these water bottles have recently participated in many collaborations, making fans excited to get their hands on the limited-edition tumblers. If you have not heard of or seen many of these collaborations, allow me to walk you through a few of them.
First up, a recent collaboration: Stanley x LoveShackFancy. So far, two collections have been released in this collaboration. The first collection was released in August of 2024, with four beautiful flower designs that came in a variety of styles and soft colors. Personally, it is one of my favorites and I was able to get my hands on three of the four different tumblers.
Their most recent collection, released November 12th, is called The Stanley X LoveShackFancy Holiday Quencher. Released in two different colors, pink and blue, the tumblers are filled with shiny holiday bows and pretty flowers, making them appealing to the eye. Though it was recently released, all colors and sizes are already sold out. I was unable to get this Stanley as it sold out so fast, but overall, I give this collaboration a 10/10, and it is my favorite release so far.
Next, another collaboration recently released and in high demand is the Stanley X E.L.F. Cosmetics collaboration released on October 27th. This collection was unique as there were not only limited-edition tumblers but also attachable tumbler lip oil holders. E.L.F. lip oil has also been trending recently which made this collaboration even more fun and unique. The tumblers also came in a variety of colors ranging from dark red to light pink, specifically designed to match the shades of the lip oil. While I did not purchase this collection, I’ve heard mixed reviews as the lip holder only fits the E.L.F. lip oil due to its unique square shape, meaning it can’t be used to hold other products. I would give this collaboration a 6/10, as the tumblers were not the colors I would have chosen, and the lip oil holder only suits one specific type of lip product.
Another collection recently released was the Wicked collection. To celebrate the release of the film adaptation of Wicked, Stanley released a Target-exclusive series of tumblers available in pink and green to match the film’s two main characters, Glinda and Elphaba, on October 13th. Already sold out, these tumblers were in high demand and had customers snatching them from the shelves. Though the design was simple, the fact there was such a small supply had people excited to get their hands on the limited-edition colors and designs. This collaboration is cute and simple, therefore I give it a 7/10. The colors were pretty, but there wasn’t anything extremely unique about the tumblers.
Despite some of the hate any of these collaborations may have received, I think they are fun, unique, and a great way to keep customers excited about Stanley. I highly recommend any Stanley Tumbler, as they are super cute and I have never been more hydrated.
