I never have to fear for my electronics again.

Last fall, I got in my car, put my backpack on the passenger seat next to me, and drove the 20 minutes it took for me to get to my destination. The drive was a pleasantly uneventful prelude to an absolutely disastrous morning. After parking my car and grabbing my bag, I realized that my water bottle had leaked all over my laptop, flooding the poor thing with 18 ounces of ice cold water. Suffice to say, my computer didn’t survive its bath, and I became weirdly intense about all manner of liquid receptacles in my life — be they tumblers, water bottles, or glasses.
After months of fully leaning into this newfound anxiety, I finally found a travel tumbler that assuaged all of my fears. Designed by Fellow, the 16-ounce Carter Move Mug is slim enough to fit in my cup holder, insulated for optimal heat retention, and designed with a leak-proof seal that keeps my tea safely locked inside even if I leave it in the bottom of my backpack. I can commute confidently knowing that none of my electronics will suffer for my careless behavior ever again.

It just so happens that testers in Food & Wine’s lab also recommend Fellow’s tumblers. The Carter Wide Mug found its way into their top seven after they narrowed down their favorites from over 25 different styles. They loved its “incredible” insulating abilities and neutral ceramic interior, which guarantees that your beverage will never have a metallic flavor. This is the wider version of the tumbler I know and love, and it’s a great option if you don’t mind that it won’t fit in most standard cup holders.
But if you’re like me and you care about car compatibility, your best bet is to go with the wide mug’s slimmer cousin. It has all of the same features, like Fellow’s signature ceramic coating, plus a snap-in splash guard to limit any unwelcome deluges of boiling hot water. Over 700 customers have given it a five-star rating, calling it “the perfect travel tumbler.”
Mine has done wonders to erase that horrifying day from my mind, and I can say with absolute confidence that it’s built to last. I’ve accidentally left it resting on its side in my backpack, dropped it off of a balcony, and rolled it under (parked) cars, and it got through all of these incidents without spilling a drop. If it can survive a few months with me, it can survive anything.
You can also mix-and-match this tumbler with different Fellow lids, all of which are on sale right now for a limited time.
