The Ultimate Cup / Drink Holder Gift Guide

For the true cup holder connoisseur in your life, we have compiled the best cup or drink holders available to make this year’s holiday shopping a snap. What drink holder fan wouldn’t want a gift basket overflowing with the items displayed below?!?

We start with the obvious-

tugo plus h2otugo from goodtugo.com “keeps your drink suspended between the upright handles of your rolling bag.”

Claims:

• “Its unique design keeps your cup level to prevent sloshing.”
• “tugo is easy. tugo is simple. tugo is strong. tugo is fast.”
• “Changing the way we travel, one drink at a time.”

A basic version, great for cup holder fans of all ages-

Stickey Cup from stickeycup.com uses a “uniquely designed rubber suction cup that is rock solid.”

Claims:

• “One beautifully simple cup holder, with versatility never before seen in the cup holder world!”
• “The multi-purpose nature of the Stickey Cup will stagger your mind!”
• “…the Stickey Cup finally puts an end to your lifelong quest to find the perfect cup holder! You may now stop searching, and enjoy life as it is meant to be enjoyed.”

Similar suction cup idea, but much more appealing execution-

Spink from dreamfarm.com uses “strong, lever-powered suction” to “keep your Spink stuck to your desk so you can’t knock it or your drink over.”

Claims:

• “Handle and finger grooves let you easily grab your mug or cup.”
• “Draw on it, design your own cover, or slip in a photo to make your Spink as individual as you.”
• “Don’t give up what you love, have it next to you and Spink will make sure you never spill another drink.”

On to a more specialized audience-

SwirlyGig from swirlygig.com is a “Drink Holder, Beverage Holder, Cup Holder” that “fits on Microphone Stands & Music Stands.”

Claims:

• None, really. There is also a version that holds drumsticks, and they have expanded the original design to work for other uses such as boating, camping, and on wheelchairs.

Next: an accident waiting to happen?-

Jung-Woo Lee’s umbrella designed for EK Design created quite a bit of buzz recently, with debate back and forth on whether it was genius or dangerous.

Claims:

• Also none. Seems like they’re letting us decide for ourselves.

Playful design for the kid at heart-

DrinKlip Cup Holder on drinklip.com is part of the design portfolio of Been Kim. In typical design-y style, the DrinKlip is displayed only visually, in a series of pictures showing the the product in various Zen locations and settings.

Claims:

• Again, none. Comes in several bright colors, although the lime version seems to be the most common.

Finally, the most portable and arguably the most creative-

The Beer Buckle from thebeerbuckle.com is “an amazing retractable beverage holding belt buckle.”

Claims:

• “Danger: You are now hands free!”
• The “world’s most interesting belt buckle.”
• “Not just a caddy novelty item, but a functional fashion accessory that has already found its way into the wardrobes of many people across the U.S., including many popular musicians.”

Let us know if you have seen one we missed!
