Built NY
I know you guys are going to think that I am crazy when you realize that this blog is all about one company. Yes, I decided to talk all about Built NY today. I really, really, super love the products that this company makes! Everything is made from neoprene – you know the wet suit material. Some people take their products to a whole new level by monogramming them too. I love that! Let me highlight a few for you.
- My favorite product that they make is the 20 ounce bottle tote. It holds those plastic Coke bottles that you pick up at the gas station. Genius! It insulates your beverage for up to 4 hours, contains a handy snap handle to hook your bottle to your purse, and comes in lots of hip colors. Put this on my most wanted list!!
- I actually own the 6-pack tote. My husband gave it to me for my birthday last year. I love it! It is so lightweight and easy to throw into the basket on my scooter and head up the street for beverages. Definitely a well used gift.
- I need this one. The Electric Pocket. They think of everything! This will hold your blackberry, ipod, cell phone or digital camera. It comes in 3 sizes and is fleece lined to protect your precious cargo. You can attach it to your belt, bag, backpack, etc. I think this will have to go on my list too.
- The charger bag. This little gem will hold all of your chargers and cords. A must for frequent travelers! It is fleece lined and has a zipper to keep your stuff safe.
- Look how cute the Hungry Tote is for tots on the go. It even has a special snap to hold keys or a pacifier. So soft…and machine washable too!
I could go on and on about the Built NY products. Take a look at the website…they really do have something for everyone. You can buy them online or at many stores in the area. Linens and Things, Sharper Image, Brookstone, Whole Foods, and many more.

I can verify, the six pack tote is DEFINATELY a well used gift! But knowing how Katy is about borrowing stuff, I think I’ll just have to buy one of my own.

Built NY stuff is a joke.. It is cheap wetsuit material that looks moderately cool and you will use exactly twice before you tire of lugging around some bulky bag to carry a bottle of water. Why do you need a fat neoprene sleeve to drink bottled water? Since when could we not simply hold the bottle in our hands?
It is expensive, poorly designed, knock off crap that I get for free when I open a new bank account or buy 20lbs of dog food at Pet Smart!

Wow, you really don’t like the stuff! I have some and love it. Why do I carry my water bottle in a neoprene sleeve? To keep it cold. I can tell you that I have used my 6-pack holder many, many, many times…it hasn’t fallen apart yet, and I still love it.
