Reduce Kids WaterWeek Review

I received the following product in exchange for writing a review. While I consider it a privilege to receive free products to review, my review is my honest opinion and thoughts of this product.

Kids-Girls-WaterWeek

We featured Reduce Kids WaterWeek in our Back to School Product Guide, but since we actually received a Girls Set, we are also posting a review of this product.

WaterWeek Kids

WaterWeek™ offers the ONLY true solution to end the costly and wasteful purchasing of bottled water without giving up convenience. Just fill, chill & go!™

• BPA free
• 10oz capacity
• Saves consumers an average of $500 per year!
• Includes fridge tray that slides neatly into your fridge.
• Dishwasher and freezer safe.
• This size is perfect for school lunches.

Green Quality
Eco friendly bottles! WaterWeek™ makes it easy and economical for consumers to reduce the 25 million bottles being disposed everyday. Now you can save on kids lunches too!

Retail Price: $17.99 for a set of 5 eco friendly bottles.

Faith and Family Review

We really like the concept of the WaterWeek and see how it would benefit those attending public school each day. However, me have to be honest and tell you that we did not use them as they were designed. We allowed our younger children to choose a water bottle for their own and they even saved one out for the new baby to use next summer.

Love the holder for the refrigerator to keep them all in one place. The bottles are perfect for little hands. The caps are screw on, which the children haven’t had a problem with, but I have. I like the ones that are either like a straw or flip top so the children cannot easily spill the contents or lose the cover. That is my only negative though. When the covers are screwed on tightly, they do not leak.

The colors are bright and the designs fun.

6. ) Write Stuff- This cool company is a prepackaged back to school supply company who bundles items necessary for classrooms. They build them specific to teacher’s needs. As we pack exactly the items needed, we save parents time and money. For example, a student supply list may say “3 pens”, and at a retail store would have to buy a pack of 12. This applies to many items; pencils, hiliters, Sharpies, etc. Besides parents most likely have to go from store to store to find everything. As economy belts are tightening, so are the budgets at schools. More and more supplies are ending up on student required supply lists. Sales tax is only for IL. They ship across the country. Check them out here.
