Perfect for kids or anyone who wants to show their holiday spirit
As Christmas approaches, the urge to decorate becomes overwhelming. It’s not just walls, windows, mantels and tabletops that get a festive splash of holiday cheer. Your insulated cups can benefit from a little decorating, as well, particularly if you use a Stanley tumbler.
An easy way to add a little seasonal flair to your favorite beverage container is to top the straw with a colorful cap. For instance, for a very reasonable price, you can buy a set of six reusable straw lids that turn your tumbler into a source of holiday joy.

What makes a Stanley tumbler stand out?
BestReviews Testing Lab has evaluated several popular tumbler brands. To determine which was most deserving of your money, the lab focused on five key factors: smart design, ability to maintain temperature, ease of use, ease of cleaning and overall quality.
Stanley products excel in all of these areas. First, the company’s tumblers fit well in most cup holders, so they transport well and won’t easily spill. And the model we tested could keep ice frozen overnight. Because the straws are tall, Stanley tumblers are easy to drink from and their dishwasher-safe design makes them effortless to clean. Plus, the durable double-walled construction ensures they are of high quality.
Five ways to adorn your Stanley tumbler with holiday accessories
If you’re ready to step up your decorating game, there are a few ways to make your Stanley tumbler holiday-ready.
- New straw cap: This is the most obvious way, and you can buy them in nearly any shape or design. The straw covers come in snowman shapes, Santa hats, Christmas trees, reindeer, holiday sweaters, snowflakes and more. Installation is simple. Just slide on the cap and your cup is officially decorated.
- Stickers: Apply them to the side of your Stanley tumbler. This makes your beverage holder easy to identify. And you’re free to decorate the surface however you’d like. With the right set of stickers, you can create a wonderful wintry vibe, perfect for the season.
- Chains and charms: For the person who can’t get enough bling. Just wrap a tiny chain around the handle of your Stanley tumbler and connect a charm. Besides a decorative look, the tiny charms might add a little jingle as well.
- Stanley boot: This interesting approach is a little silicone cup that fits snugly over the bottom of your Stanley tumbler. Boots come in festive colors and feature a variety of holiday-themed designs.
- Reusable holiday straws: Buy a pack and just slip one in the top of your tumbler to get the look you want. As a bonus, many packs come with a special brush so you can keep your straw clean.
