1. Furry Forager Water Bottle
Price: $22.99 at modcloth.com
Is this sweet little squirrel boasting, or is he simply stating the truth when he says he has a gift for finding many nuts? I suppose it doesn’t matter, for he’s charming either way, and I certainly trust him to look after my water at the gym or on the go. The water bottle holds 450mL and features a screw-on plastic lid that fits snugly and doesn’t allow leaks.
2. Help Me Hope Travel Mug
Price: $24.99 at modcloth.com
Part of the reason you want a reusable water bottle is because you know it’s better for our earth, and another reason is because this one is so cute and thought-provoking. A little bear, his mama, and a few friends wander through some trees, pondering their predicament, one you’re already aware of. The mug is made of plastic and stainless steel, and because it’s reusable, you can sip your morning coffee without the guilt of using a paper cup.
3. Chéri Bento Box
Price: $23.99 at modcloth.com
Pack your lunch of just a few snacks in this chic, handy bento box set. They stack together and one even has dividers to keep your goldfish crackers separate from your gummy bears. They’re hand-washable plastic, and I adore the bright colors!
4. La Cycliste Lunch Bag
Price: $10.99 at modcloth.com
Tote your lunch, or anything else, for that matter, in this yellow and cream striped bag featuring a very chic cyclist on her errands with her kitty. The bag is 100% polyester, so it’s durable, and it measures 13½ inches by 9½ inches, so it’s roomy, too!
5. Case of the Two Bunnies in Sky
Price: $24.99 at modcloth.com
Stash your eyeglasses or sunglasses safely and stylishly in this adorable glasses case, with two sweet bunnies, both wearing striped dresses. While the text translates to “my teddy,” they don’t seem to be offended at the misnomer… choose from Sky (shown) or Carrot… both are adorable!
6. Chéri and Kitty Bento Box
Price: $19.00 at shopkirdevries.com
There’s no sense in “telling” your cat to come… that’s strictly a dog trick. Rather, Cheri tells her kitty friend “tu peux venir quand tu peux,” which translates to “you can come whenever you want.” Cat lovers and lunch-takers alike will agree: it’s a sweet sentiment and a very cute bento box!
7. Drink Cold Trekking Bottle
Price: $21.00 at shopkirdevries.com
Take this clever little water bottle on all of your hikes, or to the gym, where you know you’ll be thirsty. It holds 300mL of refreshing fluids, and is cute as can be, to boot! Clip it to your gym bag or tote with a carabineer (not included) through the handy ring on the lid.
See? Accessories don’t have to be strictly utilitarian, they can be downright darling! I especially love the water bottles… which of these cute accessories by Shinzi Katoh do you like best? Or is there another accessory you’d like to see them cute-ify? Please share!
