Staying a 'hydrated queen' is always in-trend, especially if you have a Stanley Quencher you can sip out of. Even though they've been around for a while, what made the company (which is known for its reusable bottles) double and triple their sales was utilising social media and influencer marketing to promote their latest line of tumblers, The Quencher H2.0.

Things boomed further when a young woman's car burned down, with everything ruined except her Stanley Cup that still had ice in it! The TikTok community tagged the brand repeatedly, with Stanley finally buying the woman a new car, burrowing further into the hearts and minds of people.

We don't know about you, but this is enough for us to want to get our hands on the Stanley Quencher, and while we finally can now, they are pricier than these adorable Stanley dupes that we found from homegrown brands. Read on!

If you are looking for an even smaller dupe for Stanley, to store drinks for a study session or as a desk essential at work, then this borosilicate tumbler by The Better Home is what you should buy. It is super cute, lightweight, and to be honest, super cute (did we already say that?) to not have on your desk, even as a pen holder. You can also consider gifting this, as it comes as a pack of two. It is leak and spill proof, and is made of glass, so easy to clean, but is fragile. It has an eco-friendly bamboo lid and straw, and has a silicone sleeve to protect the glass body. 

Features: Eco-friendly bamboo lid, perfect as a gift, BPA-free

Colours available: 5

Capacity: 0.45 litres/ 450 ml

This is perhaps the cheapest and cutest dupe we found for the Stanley tumbler. Kookee's pink acrylic sipper is giving cottage core, with its floral print and cute flower pin on its straw. It is good only for cold drinks, but we think the hot summers would make this a necessity. It has plastic sleeves to avoid your tumbler from heating up in the sun. It can hold only up to 300 ml, though, and hence, is lightweight, but might need a constant refill. 

Features: Plastic sleeves to avoid external heat, cute exteriors, perfect for kids 

Colours available: 1

Capacity: 0.3 litres/ 300 ml

It has a double-walled insulation to keep your drinks hot for 5 hours and cold for up to 10 hours.

Borosil, like Stanley, is the OG brand that puts functionality and quality above all else, so no wonder they had to make it to the list. Though not even close to the Stanley Cup in design, the CafeTime Mug by Borosil comes with double-walled vacuum insulation, a leak-proof lid, and is lined with 304 grade stainless steel. It comes in four patterns and four capacities, which makes it easier for you to pick depending on where you're going to use it the most. For office use, we'd suggest the Cafe Time variant.

Features: Durable BPA-free PP material, 304 stainless steel interior, leak-proof dual lid.

Headway as a brand came on all of our radars last year thanks to their top-notch quality and chrome-finish tumblers. We've got our eyes on their Reo cup that comes with a substantial 500 ML capacity along with a flick open lid, a protective silicone base, and a detachable silicone topper. It comes in six colour variants and is customisable too.

The Sparkle Story's tumblers are what Pinterest dreams are made of. They're adorable and come in two colours—black and white. Though they do not have a straw feature like the Stanley, but they do have a cool temperature reader on the top. You can also get them customised by putting your name on them. All in all, this is a pretty affordable alternative while also being stainless steel, BPA-free, and keeping drinks cold or hot for 4 hours.

Features: BPA-free, customisable, temperature reader, affordable alternative
