Ever since Stanley water bottles took over social media, retailers have struggled to keep the brand's tumblers and water bottles in stock. Limited-edition Stanley cups, like the recent Stanley x Starbucks quencher, went viral after the shiny pink tumblers went on sale. 

An array of new colorful, floral motifs, designed for Mother's Day, was released today. Certain styles are already selling out, so if you want to get Mom something special this Mother's Day, you'll want to tap the button below and buy her a Stanley ASAP.


New floral Stanley quenchers for Mother's Day 2024

Nabbing a Stanley cup, especially one of the water bottle brand's just-dropped colors, can be tricky. No mere water bottle, a Stanley cup was one of the hottest accessories of last year, and that trend is still going strong. Stanley keeps a core collection of water bottle colors in its rotation (which are easy to find), but the brand often drops new limited-edition colors and patterns -- like these.

For 2024, Stanley is adding three tropical colors with beautiful floral patterns in honor of Mother's Day. These include frost tropic, sorbet tropic and blue spruce tropic. The new colors are priced the same as most existing tumblers -- you'll pay $35 for the 30-ounce size and $45 for the 40-ounce size.

The brand's Iceflow bottle with flip straw lid and All Day slim bottle are also available in the Mother's Day collection colors, but appear to have sold out.

Treat your mom to one of three new floral patterns that are part of the Mother's Day collection. More than just a trendy water bottle, a Stanley tumbler keeps water cold for up to 11 hours and iced for up to 48 hours. A Stanley even fits in most car cup holders. You'll stay hydrated longer and need fewer refills with your Stanley in tow. 

Stanley's tumblers are available in 30-ounce ($35) and 40-ounce ($45) sizes. The new floral Mother's Day collection colors drop on Thursday, April 11.

Top features of the Stanley Quencher H2.0 FlowState tumbler

  • Stanley's tumblers are made from double-wall vacuum-insulated stainless steel, so they keep your drink hot or cold longer than regular cups.
  • This tumbler features a slim base, which fits in most car cup holders.
  • The FlowState lid rotates through three different positions: a straw opening that keeps the reusable straw in place, a drink opening and a full-cover top that helps avoid splashing. 
  • Stanley upgraded its design adding a comfortable grip handle and 90% recycled materials.

Stanley Mother's Day Quencher alternatives

Are Stanley water bottle bottles worth the hype?

Stanley enthusiasts have been known to go to great lengths to get their hands on the trendy water bottles. Someone was arrested in California for allegedly stealing 65 of them!

Though trendy, a Stanley water bottle or tumbler lives up to the hype. The double wall insulation is a hallmark of a Stanley water bottle, though top-tier competitors like Yeti and Hydro Flask feature thick, high-quality steel wall insulation as well. Your drinks will stay warm or cold for hours.

Stanley offers a wide variety of colors from cool pastels to bright metallics. Stanleys fit comfortably in most cup holders thanks to their small base. The upgraded comfort handle makes newer Stanleys easier to carry than their predecessors. 

Stanley's FlowState lid is what sets a Stanley cup apart from other reusable water bottle brands. With the ability to rotate into three different positions, Stanley cups promise not to spill or leak with the rotating lid in place. That's a major upgrade from other water bottles that promise to be leakproof, but aren't.

If there's a downside to a Stanley cup, it's the weight and size. Though you'll refill it fewer times throughout your day than a smaller bottle, this is not a light water bottle you throw into a backpack or tote. Weighing over a pound without water, a Stanley Quencher may give your bicep a run for its money by the end of the day.


Is there lead in Stanley tumblers?

Some social media users recently raised the question as to whether or not there is lead in a Stanley water bottle. Very high levels of lead can affect the body's organs, make people anemic and cause stomach issues, brain damage and seizures. 

Stanley does use a small amount of lead in its stainless steel water bottles to help with insulation, a company spokesman said. A small lead pellet is used in the bottom of the water bottle, but the small lead pellet is completely enclosed by a stainless steel barrier and does not come in contact with water in the tumbler. According to Stanley, the only way for the lead to come in contact with your water is for the stainless steel barrier to get damaged.

How do I clean my Stanley water bottle?

Stanley suggests that your cup should get a bath after each use, especially the FlowState lid. Do not use bleach.

To clean your Stanley cup, Stanley recommends you use a mix of one-quarter cup of uncooked rice and three ounces of distilled white vinegar to clean the hard-to-reach areas of your cup. You'll want to vigorously shake the mix in the (sealed) cup for one minute, let it sit for five to ten minutes, and then shake again for another one to two minutes. Then, rinse out your Stanley with warm water, and leave it open until it dries.
