Opinions wanted

I'm looking to buy a stainless steel water bottle, so I can use that instead of buying tons and tons of plastic water bottles ...

Anyone know a good make? I found a cute SIGG one that I like (it has a Geisha picture on it! Pretty!) but it's $23.99 + shipping
Is that too much for a water bottle? I want one that's easy to drink from, doesn't smell after you use it, and isn't too heavy. Pretty pictures are also nice.

So what do you guys think? Yes to the pretty-but-expensive bottle? Or do you know of any other good brands that I can get?

Opinions greatly appreciated, pleaseandthankyou!


June 22 Update! I ended up going to Planet Organic and buying a Klean Kanteen. It doesn't have a pretty geisha picture on it, though but I suppose that can be fixed with a sticker :)

Well, considering that you don't like to drink from glass, I think that having a reusable non-toxic water bottle is a good investment for you. Also, I think you're more likely to use it if it has a pretty picture. So, in conclusion, I heartily endorse this purchase. :)

Klean Kanteen (www.kleankanteen.com) - Sabrina has one, I have one, and Hannah even has a little baby one. They're 17.45 + shipping but a lot of stores carry them.

I've replaced our plastic bottles with Earthlust stainless steel ones - very cool nature designs (I have the tree one myself) and they have a very clean taste and are superlight. Plus, you don't have to worry about the mysterious inner lining that's in the SIGG aluminum bottles... stainless doesn't need to be lined. I did lots of research, and these are what I came up with (Klean Kanteen is good, too). Here's a photo of my cute tree bottle:

I've also been looking into the Kleen Kanteen bottles - research has shown that Planet Organic is meant to carry them. There's a Planet Organic on Bathurst in the plaza just across from the City Playhouse. If you go there, and they have them, can you let me know?

Wow, I was just doing to say 'go ahead', but the other commenters have good points. I don't know how I feel about the lining aspect of the SIGG, and I don't like aluminum... perhaps stainless is the way to go.

IQ Living on the Danforth has all sorts of fun items and gadgets... I got an envirosac there and I LOVE IT. They have SIGGs, they might have other options too. And what a fun browse!
