'I've found a way to get my go-to Stanley Quencher water bottle for £16'
The Stanley Quencher tumbler has built up a loyal fan base and I can see why - I use mine everyday and here's how shoppers can get one for less than £20 I've owned my Stanley Quencher cup for around two years and it was truly love at first sip. It's been my daily companion ever since and I find myself using it near enough every single day. First getting my hands on it to increase my water intake as I realised I wasn't hydrating myself enough, I now drink at least 2.5 litres of water a day. For those unfamiliar with the Stanley Quencher cup, it's essentially a reusable water bottle that can hold more than a standard size bottle. This capacity reduces the frequency of refills and aids in boosting your hydration levels. Plus, it keeps your beverage frosty cold for 48 hours, a feature I appreciate even during the chillier months. The Stanley Quencher cup has repeatedly sold out since its UK launch, but it's not the most budget-friendly option on the market, with the 0.8 litre size retailing for £40. Stanley's website rarely offers discounts, however, that doesn't mean there aren't clever ways to snag a deal on this popular brand. I've discovered a bargain that lets you get your hands on the Stanley Quencher for just over £16. Customers who purchase the Stanley Quencher from Urban Outfitters via TopCashback will receive £15 cashback and as it is on sale for £32, this reduces the total cost to £16.16 for new Urban Outfitters customers or £16.58 for existing ones. The process to claim is straightforward - new members can register on TopCashback using this link, make their Stanley Quencher purchase at Urban Outfitters, and then wait for the cashback to be tracked and added to their account. The primary function of the cup is to encourage users to drink more water with minimal effort - and it certainly achieved this for me. On the first day, I found myself sipping from the bottle while engaged in everyday activities like working on my laptop or watching TV, without even realising it. Stanley Rose Quartz Quencher H2.0 Flowstate Tumbler £40 £16.16 Urban Outfitters Shop here Product Description I believe this is largely due to the straw, which makes drinking effortless. My beverage stayed refreshingly cold all day after filling the cup with ice, and when left on my bedside table overnight, it was still cool by morning. I noticed that smaller ice cubes did melt after a few hours, but switching to larger cubes ensured they retained their shape for a significantly longer period. There's no denying it, this cup is pretty large and while the ergonomic handle with comfort-grip inserts does make it comfortable to hold, its size makes it quite heavy to carry around when full. It's not particularly practical for commuting as it takes up a fair bit of space in your bag, but when working from home, the large capacity is a real bonus. Here's how to sign up to TopCashback To claim the new member bonus, new members of TopCashback need to sign up via this link Search for Urban Outfitters and click 'Get Cashback Now' Shop and checkout as usual Cashback will then track and appear in your TopCashback account within seven working days of your purchase Another reusable water bottle capable of holding 1L of liquid is the £45 Ocean Bottle. It's available in 14 stylish colours and can be personalised with your own text for an extra £10. It's also eco-friendly as for every bottle produced, 1,000 plastic bottles are prevented from entering the ocean. You can also find reusable water bottles on Amazon - the iglu water bottle has a 1L capacity and costs £28. For a Stanley Cup that's easier to sip on the move, consider the Stanley IceFlow Bottle. It holds less water (710ml), but its leak-proof design and easy-to-hold handle make it ideal for travel. Throughout July, shoppers can also get the bottle personalised with initials, a logo or a graphic, for free on the Stanley website. Elsewhere at Stanley, the brand has recently launched a collaboration with Messi. Following the success of the footballers first collection with Stanley, some water bottles have already sold-out, however, the limited edition Messi x Stanley Quencher is currently still available.

Tom Dunne: Moisturizer from Wet Leg already feels like my album of the year
Urban Outfitters, Temple Bar, Dublin, sometime last week. I am in hell. Somehow tricked into accompanying my teenage daughters on a clothes shopping expedition. The music playlist is saving me: early Stones, Velvet Underground, CSNY. It is now heaven. It reminds me of similar shops in Manhattan in the mid-1990s. The clothes were the same, vintage T-shirts and hoodies; the staff were the same, uber-cool tattooed people; and the music was the same. The only thing changing is me. I am about to point out this out to my daughters when something new comes on. It is Wet Leg. Of course it is. It fits right in. It's new and yet it isn't. It's part of that lineage, the new iteration. And it is class. I liked their self-titled debut, but this new record, Moisturizer, leaves it in the dirt. It is instantly my new favourite album of 2025. Over to you CMAT to knock this one off the top. It could yet be the BRAT of this year. Rhian Teasdale isn't Charlie XCX, yet but give her time. The emergence of Teasdale as the all-conquering, star, front woman, slayer of arena audiences has been one of the most fascinating developments of the last few years. When Wet Leg arrived in 2022, she and bandmate Hester Chambers looked positively rustic. Theirs was – and yes, I sought help with this bit– a bohemian aesthetic, vintage style white dresses with Doc Martens. There were even cardigans. But not anymore. At some point you got the impression Teasdale was enjoying the attention, and then some. If you'd missed them since 2022 you might have asked who is that onstage with Wet Leg at Glastonbury? The prairie dresses were gone. Teasdale looked toned and confident, there were new tattoos, a crop top, bleached eyebrows. This was Teasdale 2025, a fully empowered rock icon. Wet Leg 2.0, welcome to the Colosseum. Wet Leg Version 1 appeared to have just fallen from the skies into rock indie stardom. Formed on the Isle of Wight, they say, on the top of a Ferris Wheel at a music festival, it all just seemed too easy for them. Chaise Longue was the first single and an instant smash, the first indie band 'overnight success' in a long time. The debut album won two Brits and two Grammies. They toured with Taylor Swift, were covered by Harry Styles, won an Ivor Novello award, and played on Jimmy Fallon. They toured that album for the guts of three years. If they had emerged from that time with no new songs it would have been no surprise. But they didn't. They booked an AirBnB last autumn and started to write. The result, for me, is the album of the year. Two things happened to facilitate this, apart from Teasdale leaning into Front Woman For The Age status. Firstly, they spread the songwriting burden to all five members of the band. Secondly, Teasdale fell in love. Her new partner, identity not revealed, is nonbinary. I don't know how that feeds into this, but it does. Wet Leg recently released Moisturizer. The songs are spectacular. Yes you can trace their lineage via the Velvet Underground, The Pixies, The Breeders, Franz Ferdinand, the Arctic Monkeys and Alvvays, but so what? That music style might provide the ingredients, but it's what you with it that counts. And this is where Teasdale's new relationship status comes up trumps. A 'love-inspired' album could be sickly sweet, but not when it is still in the chemical, all new, crazy passionate phase. I'll let Teasdale herself paint those pictures, and they are not for the faint-hearted. But God are they great. These are songs written in the heady first days of a new love. You can feel the danger, the intoxication, the passion, the fun. It's note perfect. A love you may not survive but which you feel inclined to take your chances with. It's game on, see you on the other side. The album never lets up. It is the Rubber Soul of indie music 2025. There are no weak tracks, 12 potential singles. The Velvet Underground and bands since have developed the perfect template for this type of music, but it's what to add to that gives it the X factor. The 2022 debut was described as the kind of album that would illicit an approving text from your dad. I'd write more but I have to find my phone. I have a text to send.
