We thought it would be fun to highlight some of our favorite coozie/cozy/sleeves for using Cuppow lids with your favorite hot bevs. These all make great partner-presents when paired with Cuppow and we love the growing landscape of options!

This is not, by any means, the entire offering for such products, just what we have used a lot and we can stand behind! We don’t retail them through our site (except for the Cuppow! Freaker) but we’ve provided links for scooping up your own directly.

1. Freaker

www.freakerusa.com & www.cuppow.com

Freaker’s are “Made in the freakin’ USA” and we love that their versatility adds to their sustainability. One Freaker to fit them all, any size jar and beyond! Available in a vast collection of styles including a Cuppow! design and many, many, many more. (Note: for pint size jars and smaller, just double the Freaker over and slip it over the jar.)

2. FCD Reclaimed Wetsuit

http://www.fcdsurfboards.com/shop/patagonia-patch-cozie

This one is a relative-newcomer into our purview but a few members of Fringe (the co-working space in Somerville, MA that houses Cuppow and more) have latched on, hard. It’s made from reclaimed Patagonia wetsuits and fits a variety of Wide-Mouth jars. The merino wool lined interior, coupled with the neoprene exterior make this great for hot beverages on the go and all kinds of hangin’ loose.

3. YNOT Cycles - The Cozy

http://www.ynotcycle.com/products/the-cozy/

‘The Cozy’ by YNOT Cycles is an upcycling success story. Using reclaimed 1000D Cordura® scraps leftover from the production of YNOT’s messenger bags - they’ve created a product that’s as sustainable as it is good looking. The heavy duty nylon handle is key when you’re on the move and the feel is familiar to anyone who knows all-weather cycling specific messenger bags. The large fits standard pint sized jars. While the small works with 12 oz quilted jam jar (pictured) and the smaller 8 oz. jars.

4. Old Sock

Your sock drawer

Doesn’t get much more sustainable than taking a sock who lost his sole-mate (did you catch that?) and turning him/her into a sleeve for your favorite jar. Thick wool socks offer up tons of insulation and unique look. Tall wool socks like WigWam and Smartwool are perfect because they’re crafted well and even if they’ve lost their buddy the same comfort they bring to your feet can now come to your hands!

5. Holdster

http://www.holdsterusa.com/

Holdster offers up options that are both made in the USA and built to last a lifetime. An XL for pint-and-a-half 24 oz. jars and one for a standard 16 oz. pint jar. The best part about bringing your own anything is making it truly your own through daily use and abuse. The vegetable tanned leather used by Holdster will develop a nice feel with time and will quickly become one of your morning coffee’s best buds.

6. Generic Neoprene Coozies

SWAG

Be it a generic beer coozie or a promotional product designed to capture you with the science of nu-marketing, a throw-away piece of SWAG can be put to good use around your favorite pint sized jar. If you are not digging the advertisement is, just turn it inside out. Neoprene > Form in terms of insulation but take what you can get and whatever you rep, rep it hard.

Also in the FREE category: that old athletic wristband, sleeve of a sweater, a bandana, a Thomson bag can be easily modded, or a cut-off wrist from a wool glove. Get creative!

7. BNG Tacticool Survival

http://bngtacticoolsurvival.com/products/

While the BNG site is a bit of a work in progress - they’re skoozies (that’s right, a portmanteau of survival and koozy… try to keep up!) are quite the conversation piece. They’re made of paracord so they can be used in emergency situations providing dozens of feet of reliable rope and they really drive this point home by shipping them with a card that reads, “Because you never know when.” They’ve been a big hit with the hunter/nascar/homesteader crowds we’ve shown them off to and they’ve got lots of options for styling up with colors and patterns galore.

Handmade:

You do it!

An Etsy search for "mason jar sleeve" yields more than 400 results! You can support a maker and shop online or get inspired and make your own! We love watching you get creative!

Introducing: BNTO by Cuppow!


BNTO (pronounced: “ben-toh”) is for bringing great food on the go!

Canning jars are designed to store food safely and make awesome lunch boxes: they are easy to clean, cheap, and you can microwave them! The only problem is that sometimes the foods that taste the best together don’t travel well together. We took inspiration from Japanese “bento boxes” and created a conveniently shaped insert that separates a canning jar into two compartments so you can mix or dip like a champ.

Salad & Dressing, Yogurt & Granola, Chips & Dips, Soup & Crackers, Milk & Cookies… the list goes on forever! 

What will you use BNTO for?

Introducing…

Wide Mouth Cuppow with Straw-Tek in Mint! & 
Regular Mouth Cuppow with Straw-Tek in Pink!

Giving back is a cornerstone of Cuppow - always has been, always will be. That’s why 5% of the proceeds from every Cuppow in color goes to a specific charity.

Today, we’re excited to share with you two new colors and two new charities

Cradles to Crayons (Wide Mouth in Mint) provides children from birth through age 12, living in homeless or low-income situations, with the essential items they need to thrive - at home, at school and at play. These items are supplied free of charge by engaging and connecting communities that have with communities that need.

Living Beyond Breast Cancer (Regular Mouth in Pink) exists to empower all women affected by breast cancer to live as long as possible with the best quality of life. LBBC was founded in 1991 by radiation oncologist Marisa C. Weiss, MD, in response to a woman’s need for breast-cancer-related information, connection and support after completing treatment.

We encourage you to check out and connect with these amazing organizations! They are both exceptionally highly rated for efficiency, transparency, and accountability.
