One thing my children use every day is a water bottle, be it at home, school or just out and about.  It’s My Story is a fabulous online site offering personalisation on numerous items such as books, clothes and gifts.  We were sent a personalised water bottle to try which I knew would be an instant hit with Miss M.

The novelty of having a new bottle plus the fact that it had her name and picture on it was always going to be a winner.  I’d let her select a theme of her choice and she requested to be a nurse.

The It’s Your Story water bottles are made from hard wearing aluminium and come in a white finish like the one we received or you can choose silver.  There are also 15 different characters to choose from such as pirate, monkey, princess, pop star etc.

We loved the Nurse design for Miss M – she was thrilled to see her face on the bottle.  A great idea in fact, meaning that should she ever leave her bottle behind or get it mixed up with other children’s, there’s no confusing which one is hers.  I was slightly concerned about the design staying put on the bottle but so far so good and It’s Your Story say “the dye sinks into the aluminium making it very robust and scratch and chip resistant” which is good to hear.

The bottle is strong and well made and as an added bonus you get a choice of bottle tops, the standard water bottle top or a screw top with fob attachment.  The bottle is great for keeping drinks cool too.

Overall this bottle has been a big success here with us, both for me and Miss M.  I think these would make fantastic gifts for children, being unique, useful and personalised.  A sure winner every time!
