Water bottles

I have 2 different present requests for water bottles and I'm struggling with both criteria! So any ideas appreciated.
My mum wants a new bottle- she doesn't want metal as she finds it heavy and cold, it doesn't need to keep things cold and can have a screw or sports lid. But she would really like one with some sort of eco spin rather than just plastic. Her last bottle was from Kew Gardens and was 'made from sugar cane'. Someone on the bargain thread suggested looking at Eden project and they do the sugar cane ones but want £5 for delivery! Does anyone else have any ideas?
My sister wants a metal bottle that keeps drinks cold but it must have either a straw lid or a sports cap not a screw lid as she likes to be able to grab it and sip while driving. Only ones I have been able to find are small kids ones and she needs atleast 500ml, all those seem to be screw top.
Any ideas?

Even better if the metal one for my sister can be from a high street store as my mum would like to get it and she doesn't do online shopping but I could order it if needed

Could you get your sister one from one of the high street coffee shops? They sometimes do cold drink cups. ASDA also have a good range of glass and metal water bottles with nice designs in their home section. Would glass be eco enough for your mum though or does it need to be made of something more unusual?

Following with interest for bottle inspo. 😁

I would happily look in a coffee shop if anyone knows of one that does the sports or straw tops? I haven't seen any.

I’ve seen bamboo water bottles online but never bought/used one.

I think chillys do a sports cap now for their metal water bottles which might work for your sister.

Laughing at the idea of my mum and a glass bottle- she is possibly the worlds clumsiest person! So not a great plan.
Good idea without that though

Klean kanteen metal bottles are really good, to they do insulated ones and a variety of different lids so you can get one she would like

@Cuwins, search for honey holly bottles on Amazon (or other platform of choice). They are metal with sports lids. We all bought them back at the start of the summer and use them all the time.
