You fight traffic to get from work to school in order to not be that parent whose child waits in front of an empty school, holding the tense, irritated hand of a forlorn and overworked teacher. You are thirsty. You need caffeine. But stopping is out of the question.
You make it on time! But the pickup line is endless, and you are baking in your car. By the time your adorable tot is in the back seat, you are gasping.
Prepare! Prepare! Prepare!
You need this: the Contigo AutoSeal West Loop Vacuum-Insulated Stainless Steel Travel Mug. And it's on sale! Normally, it's $24.99. Right now, it's only $19.99. Save that $5 for coffee!
Consider this: If you had filled this mug with a beverage on your way out the door this morning, that beverage would still be cold (or hot) and ready to sip during your traffic-filled, after-school pickup-line moment. So that your child meets a happy — not parched and desperate — mom after school.
Unlike many other travel mugs out there, this one does not leak when it's not in a standing position. So if your day involves carrying things in bags rather than cup holders, get this for the save.
Do you drop the kids at school and walk to work? When you get there, the coffee in this mug is still hot. Your bag is dry. And you have exactly the cuppa you need to survive that first meeting.
