Steel bottles have a reputation for looking plain. The Borosil Polka 500 ml Vacuum Insulated Flip-Top Bottle in black disagrees, with a polka dot print on a black body and a flip-top lid. Inside, it has copper-coated double-wall vacuum insulation and steel that Borosil describes as 100% food-grade and rust-proof, rated for up to 24 hours of hot or cold retention.
The mouth is wide enough for ice cubes and drip-free sipping, the body is condensation-free and cool to touch with hot drinks, and the cap is designed to double as a cup. The 500 ml size fits the side pocket of a backpack or a handbag. The finish is described as long-lasting and not prone to fading with use. Hand wash it. It comes with a 1-year warranty.

The print gives the bottle a playful look without brightness or clutter, and it suits people who like a bottle that shows some personality. It stands out on a desk or in a bag without looking childish.
The flip-top makes it quick to open and close with one hand, which is convenient when you are between classes, meetings or errands. It is designed to be leak-proof when closed.
The cap can be used as a small cup, so you can pour out a serving of tea or cold water without drinking straight from the bottle. It is useful for sharing with a friend or colleague.
The wide opening takes ice cubes and lets you drink without dribbling. The exterior does not sweat with cold drinks, so your bag stays dry.
Five hundred millilitres is a comfortable size for a handbag, a college bag or a car door pocket. It is easy to carry all day without adding much weight.
The polka dot print makes this a lighter, more personal gift than a plain steel flask, which suits bridesmaids' gifts, return gifts for younger guests, and presents for friends and cousins. For corporate gifting, it suits teams who like a bit of personality in their gifts, such as creative and marketing staff, and it works as an office-anniversary or festive present that is useful and not too formal.
Borosil rates it for up to 24 hours hot and cold. Pre-warming or pre-chilling the bottle and filling it fully improves results.
