Valentine's Day is just around the corner, and what better way to pamper someone you care about, or indulge in a little self-love, than with a special-edition tumbler that will encourage heart health by getting your (or their) sips in? Enter Stanley's new Valentine's Day collection, featuring a limited batch of rosy, metallic tumblers that are poised to steal hearts.
As a home writer, I've tested my share of water bottles, with Stanley's Quencher and IceFlow among some of the most insulated and durable. The brand is known for making hydration pretty, with regular releases of limited-edition colors and designs. But they've outdone themselves with this festive, holographic Valentine's Day fuchsia shade, adorably dubbed 'Berry Truffle,' and — quite frankly — we're smitten. Throw in some themed straw covers ... and it's a love story in the making.
Mull it over all you like, but history suggests Stanley's limited-edition Valentine's Day tumblers, will likely sell out over the next few weeks (or, if we're being realistic, days or even hours). Here are some of our favorite tumblers, accessories and other editor-approved food and kitchen items that will help get your home (or that of someone you care about) in Valentine mode. And for more Valentine's Day gift ideas, head right this way …
An iridescent metallic wrapper and berry-tinted lid and straw lend to this Quencher's seriously sweet aesthetic. The FlowState keeps iced drinks cold for hours thanks to its double-wall vacuum insulation and can be customized to accommodate three different sip settings, with the 30 oz. proving the perfect gym, office or WFH companion.
Explore additional Stanley 30-oz. FlowState shades. including Rose Quartz Solid and Vivid Violet Fade.
Opt for Stanley's 40-oz. FlowState for longer days and bigger gestures. Despite its generous size, it will still fit in your (or their) car (or tailgating chair) cupholder and has the same ergonomic handle as the 30 oz. for comfortable, secure handling. Bonus: both Valentine's Day Quenchers have an accompanying heart-shaped card for easy, impressionable gifting.
Explore additional 40-oz. FlowState shades. including Rose Quartz 2.0, Peony and Passion Pink.
If you have Amazon Prime, you'll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $35 or more.)

Jonathan Joss' Husband Reveals His Heartbreaking Last Words to the Actor as He 'Held' His 'Face Together' After Shooting (Exclusive)
The husband of actor Jonathan Joss opens up to PEOPLE about the final words he told the Parks and Recreation actor after he was fatally shot on Sunday, June 1 Tristan Kern de Gonzales says that as Joss lay dying, 'I held my husband's face together as best I could' Kern de Gonzales claims the alleged gunman 'mocked' him and was 'laughing' at him as he said his final goodbye to JossJonathan Joss' husband is sharing heart-wrenching details about the King of the Hill actor's final moments. In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, Tristan Kern de Gonzales fights back tears as he recalls the final words he told Joss just before he died at the age of 59. 'Everything happened very quickly,' Kern de Gonzales, 32, says of the fatal shooting at their San Antonio, Texas, home on Sunday, June 1, that allegedly resulted from a dispute with one of their neighbors. 'Everything was very close range and due to the severity and the trauma of the various head wounds, I knew that there was no hope of saving Jonathan's physical form, and he was struggling so hard, trying to stay alive,' he notes. 'It was just really, really close range,' Kern de Gonzales remembers. 'I held my husband's face together as best I could, and I told him how much I loved him, and that none of this was his fault. I told him he needed to cross over easy. He didn't need to keep fighting.' Kern de Gonzales continues, 'I told him that no matter what, and in some way, shape, or form, we'll always be together, and he'll always be my husband.' He claims that while his husband lay dying, 'the [alleged] gunman was still in [his] car' and 'still had the gun pointed over me.' 'He was laughing,' Kern de Gonzales alleges. 'He mocked me for telling my husband that I loved him and used the same homophobic slurs' that the gunman allegedly used before shooting Joss. 'I was just really looking down at my husband, focused on him, making sure that he had completely crossed over,' Kern de Gonzales says. San Antonio Police arrested one of Joss' neighbors, Sigfredo Ceja Alvarez, shortly after the actor was fatally shot and charged him with first-degree murder. Police have said Alvarez, 56, admitted to shooting and killing the Parks and Recreation actor. He was released on Monday, June 2, on a $200,000 bond. The shooting has left Kern de Gonzales in a state of 'shock.' 'The flashbacks are very, very intense, and they affect my whole body,' he tells PEOPLE. Kern de Gonzales, who previously wrote on Facebook that Joss pushed him out of the way and saved his life, says his late husband's final act of self-sacrifice has given him strength as he grieves. 'I know that I have to keep going and not let go of this because he saved my life, and I can't just let that go,' he explains. 'I have to use the gift that he gave me wisely.' Kern de Gonzales adds of Joss, who he met in 2023 and married on Valentine's Day 2025: 'He will always be my husband and the love of my life. He really gave me a lifetime's worth of love in the short time that we got together.' Kern de Gonzales has maintained that Joss was the victim of a hate crime and that they suffered repeated harassment and homophobic abuse from their neighbors prior to his husband's murder. 'It does hurt whenever people try to say that it wasn't a hate crime,' he says. The day after Joss died, the San Antonio Police Department said their investigation had 'found no evidence to indicate that Mr. Joss's murder was related to his sexual orientation." However, at a Thursday press conference, SAPD police chief William McManus walked back that statement. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. 'That was way, way, way, premature,' McManus said. 'We shouldn't have done it. It was way too soon before we had any real information. And I will own that.' He added, 'I want to apologize to the LGBTQ+ community for the tragic loss of Mr. Joss, which has been heavily felt." McManus continued, "Our homicide detectives are continuing to pursue every lead in this case to ensure that we understand the full picture of what led up to the senseless murder of Mr. Joss."

10 Teppanyaki restaurants in Singapore for an interactive dining experience [Jun 2025 Update]
Who doesn't like teppanyaki? You get to choose your own ingredients, watch your food being cooked right in front of you, and eat everything while it's still hot. Teppanyaki is a Japanese style of cooking that mainly involves cooking up pieces of seafood, meats and vegetables on a hot pan in front of diners. Here's a list of 10 teppanyaki restaurants in Singapore that you can visit for an interactive dining experience. As someone who's so accustomed to predictable set menus at a teppanyaki restaurant, the Japanese-style no-menu concept at MINSUIZEN RAKU Omakase Teppanyaki reignited that childlike excitement I thought I'd outgrown. The restaurant surroundings feature a serene garden and an illuminated fountain courtyard. Watch chefs perform culinary artistry at the open teppan counter, paired with elegant Japanese tableware for a full sensory immersion. Reservation required to savor the experience — your seat is secured only when booked ahead. Located on the 3rd floor of Frasers Tower in the heart of the CBD, this Taiwan-based restaurant not only has outlets in Taipei and Kaohsiung but also in Japan, Hong Kong, and now, finally, Singapore! The brand has ambitious expansion plans, with upcoming openings targeted in South Korea, the United States, Canada, and China, where they are currently exploring strategic locations. For 3 years, it's been renowned to be the most popular omakase teppanyaki brand in Taiwan, boasting 8,000+ Google reviews globally with an average rating of 4.8 stars. Besides being reputed for offering its customers excellent value, it's also part of the world's largest directly operated omakase teppanyaki chain — now, that's impressive! The chefs utilise the simplest seasoning to emphasise the original taste of premium ingredients. Each dish undergoes over 3 months of continuous testing and multiple evaluations before making it onto the menu. Every 2 months, new creations or subtle adjustments are introduced, ensuring that each visit feels fresh and different. Chef Stanley embarked us on our 12-course S$88++ & S$138++ menu that began with a trio of starters — a 6-hour long simmered lala soup, a truffle-infused angel hair pasta with sakura shrimps and tobiko, and a chawanmushi with truffle paste and a drizzling of Japanese chilli oil. One of the highlights was the grilled Hokkaido Scallop with Mala Sauce and Fried Tofu, finished off with a crowning of opulent salmon roe. Another dish that won us over was the Grilled black tiger prawns — served with their legs on, they were skillet-grilled to a satisfying crisp. The sauce was a sinful but yummy prawn head butter, sautéed and chopped. For the S$138++ menu, it comes with an unctuous and juicy Beef Slider. Sandwiched between 2 fluffy, grilled brioche buns, the meat patty was accentuated by a slice of parmesan crisp that was made on the spot. The slightly savoury and aromatic crisp paired really well with the tasty beef patty that was bursting with flavour. I was also served the luxurious, well-marbled Japanese Kumamato A5 Wagyu. It was flambéed, grilled to our desired doneness, and precisely portioned into bite-sized cubes. The dish was served with a rich red wine sauce and roasted garlic cloves. Each bite melted in my mouth like soft butter, perfuming my palate with an unsurpassed fragrance that's only derived from Wagyu. However, if some customers aren't accustomed to the rich and fatty taste of A5, they can opt for the A4 instead. It comes with slightly less fat and tastes meatier. Dine at MINSUIZEN RAKU Omakase Teppanyaki during your birthday month and enjoy a complimentary signature dessert from the chef as a special birthday treat. It's also a perfect spot to celebrate your wedding anniversary.
