I broke down and did this after my sixth grader’s bottle was stolen for the third time when she left it at swim practice, and went back ten minutes later to find it gone.

I am hoping OP’s kid and the children of some of the PPs will draw the line at stealing a bottle with someone else’s name etched on it. But maybe not.

Kind of silly to have a name etched on a water bottle that’s not exactly valuable. After the second stolen one maybe switch to another brand and write her name in sharpie. Don’t believe the hype that these are miraculous compared to every other water bottle. Starbucks makes water bottles that hold the cold. Just put her name on it in permanent ink.

My daughter has had three iPhones stolen. Now that’s annoying.

Hydroflask does a pretty good job at avoiding lead and other contaminants. Not so much other brands. But thank you for suggesting I buy a different brand so your kid won’t steal it, I guess?

Hydroflasks are thin walled and dent easily. We switched to yeti and the have stayed dent free for a year now

NP. My daughter and her 3 friends came over. I showed them this post and asked what they would do.

Two of the friends whipped out from their back packs and they were using hydroflasks! They told me they wouldn’t be grossed out by the teeth marks and their friends in their sports team share their bottles all the time because they often run out of water. they showed me teethmarks on their bottle too and laughed about it saying they don’t purposely chew them like toddlers but this expensive bottle also have their teeth marks because it’s so easy to scrape your teeth and leave bites even if you lightly clinch it with your teeth. They showed it to me and sure enough. It’s easy! But that doesn’t seem to stop their friends from drinking their straw or the more concerned friends or friends they know less well will be more polite and sometimes just unscrew and drink from it itself.

They also said in their school l&f there are so many hydroflasks and it was so easy to grab one but they would not do that as it’s not right. Though they might borrow it for a day or two if they needed something like a winter coat, (and there are north faces, goose down coats there too) or school tshirt etc and then leave it back there.

they laughed that the forum even cared whether hydroflask was a middle schooler or kiddy or it should be a yeti! They said no one cares what anyone uses and they bought hydroflask because of the color and how good it keeps water warm and how You bang it around or knock it off the bleaches and it still works. But not because of the brand for brand sake. (Kudos to the girls then some on the forum!!)

Their final conclusion is they would leave a note there if they really wanted the bottle but was sure no one will come back for them. They had a school summer camp and as LITs they hauled 26 nice water bottles to the trash. Their teacher announced to the camp participants but maybe only 15% were claimed none and said the yetis and hydroflask etc was meant for trash as it is a liability and dangerous if a child even drank their own water and got sick
from their own bottle left out in the field for a week. Some had sweet juice etc and so was gross to even empty and try to bring to thrift stores unwashed. She also said some LITs who couldn’t stand the waste did pick out one or two things they liked along the way. This is not to mention other items like sweaters and back packs which was also a “mountain” after camp. No one claimed them despite photos sent out and announcements. So they think no kids will come back for OPs bottle and even if they came back, they probably won’t remember which planter or where they left it.

One my daughter friends picked out two sunglasses from another pool camp as they were hauling the clothing items to the thrift store and Lo and behold one had little teeth marks too on the arms of the glasses probably chewed by a bored tween. They asked me to ask the forum. Would that gross you out too?

Ha, so much in this post that really highlights the absolute absurdity of some posters here. For example, a 14 year-old is too old for a hydroflask and should be drinking from a Stanley's Cup (just a profoundly ignorant/stupid statement as pointed out in several posts).

I hate all you entitled parents teaching your kids that they can just leave their stuff wherever and expect to get it back.

If you care about it, care for it. If it's "too heavy" and you have to hide it in a planter, you're willing to risk losing it. Also, you're weak af.

You know humans misplace things? I hope you have this theory if you misplace your car keys or all the disposable income you seem to have.

We have two kids who take them to school, sports practices most nights, and games on the weekends. They haven't lost them yet.

Look it's great that you and your kids love thrifting and can't afford new things but settle for teeth marks. One man's trash is another's treasure.

Who is acting entitled? The ones who constantly play "finders keepers?" My kids put their names all over their bottles with sharpies and there are stickers on them. Nobody steals their water bottles and nobody "finds" them and claims them either.

It's ok. I hope if our water bottle goes missing it goes to the less fortunate who need it. We can afford a new one.

And perhaps it will. It's best being more responsible and not risking it going to landfill, though...yeah?
