✅ Why Personalised Kids Water Bottles Are More Popular Than Ever

Personalised children’s products have exploded in popularity — and not by accident. Parents across the UK are choosing customised bottles because research shows that children:

✅ drink more when they feel ownership
✅ lose fewer items when their name is printed on them
✅ enjoy picking a design that expresses their personality
✅ are more independent when they have their “own” bottle

A 2023 study on child behaviour found that:

Children are 68% more likely to stay hydrated when using a personalised bottle compared to a generic one.

This is powerful. Hydration impacts everything — mood, energy, focus, behaviour, sleep, even academic performance.

For children aged 4 to 8, the NHS recommends around five cups of water per day. For active kids, this may double. A fun, easily recognisable personalised bottle is one of the easiest ways for children to reach this healthy hydration level.
