To think AirUp might be a waste of money?

My son has badgered me about AirUp water bottles today and I feel like I’m in a corner. He has Christmas money and I’ve just found this voucher code only that gives you 20% off AirUp Water Bottles. Sharing it here in case anyone else is in same situation. Seems ok with discount code, otherwise I wouldn’t do it.

Should I just go for it? Has anyone got an AirUp bottle and found it worthwhile?

I've never heard of them before but just googled and bloody hell that's a lot of money for a water bottle. I can't imagine any kid choosing to spend that much money on one. I'd say though his money his choice - if he wants to spaff his Christmas money on that, let him but don't give him any of your money if there's a shortfall!

ours leaks everywhere…

I refused to buy dc one for Christmas on the basis that they can’t go in the dishwasher. (Also they’re overpriced tat.)

Look I think they’re a pile of crap but DD10 loves hers. There’s definitely been a trend for them at school. I bought one for her birthday because I remember how important joining in is for these trends and I think adults can be a bit tiresome when they rubbish things that kids like.

Everyone at DD's school have them - I bloody wish I'd come up with the idea of a £30 water bottle that comes with a scratch and sniff sticker, that you can only replace from them at £8 a packet when the 'sniff' runs out. Still, DD likes it, ours is OK leak wise, but yes, they are ridiculously over priced - like many fads are I guess.

Hi all

We're just moving this thread over to the promo codes topic!

Overpriced tat but DD2 loves hers and saved up for months to get it!

I’ve bought one for my son (and have a code air-up.mention-me.com/m/ol/ty2xq-39010ee38f for 20% off if the other one doesn’t work).

It was a birthday present for my son and he wanted it as apparently “everyone” on his class had one. It was expensive but like a previous poster mentioned I bought it for him as I remember that feeling of wanting to be like everyone else and the desire to fit in. I felt that, combined with an interest in drinking plenty of water, was enough in my books.

Since it arrived I have had a cold so of course it doesn’t work for me so I am still unable to tell you what the fuss is all about. My son however is sold and loves it!

Ok, it’s done. Hopefully when it comes it’ll be worth every penny. 🤔
