My Chilly Bottle came beautifully packed in a long round box with a lid at one end. This is covered with brown paper in an old fashion retro look. Over this is a layer of corrugated cardboard, for extra protection. The box would look good if giving this as a present. I was surprised that the postage was so low and it came within 2 days. The bottle looks smart and is very smooth to handle I love the large selection of colours. I bought myself stainless steel (silver) but I will be buying these as presents. My two daughters.....pink and purple. My son black. So useful when we are being told that plastic bottles(particularly in sunshine) are dangerous to our health. Good in the car, or for sport, or even our much loved dog. I bought a large size to keep in the car and will now treat my self to a smaller size for my handbag. I have to take a high number of tablets daily, this leaves my mouth dry. My bottle does everything that they claim, it keeps cold and hot for the stated times. I find it easy to keep clean and sterilised. It is not heavy when empty. I believe this will last me for many years. I know they may seem a considered purchase.......I was using any plastic bottle that came to hand before my purchase, they were always a worry /nuisance . Warm water, leaking sticky drinks , hard to clean. I can't believe how much I have written, goodness! This is how I find Chilly's bottles to use and I hope it helps you.
