Fun fact, these tumblers are Hip approved! 

Our Hip2save team loves these Ozark Trail brand tumblers from Walmart! They’re high quality, inexpensive, and keep drinks cold (or warm) for HOURS! In fact, I once tested my much more expensive YETI vs Ozark Trail in this previous post, and the Ozark performed just as well!

A hot chocolate-themed tumbler would be a perfect, smaller-dollar gift item during the holidays. Just pick up a smaller 22oz tumbler and fill it with items to make hot chocolate!
