Contestant's Case to Win

This is based on the number of votes received.
aquaBling is a practical, attractive, and affordable way to distinguish your bottle from others like it in a public setting. When not in use, aquaBling easily clips onto a purse strap, beltloop, keychain, diaper bag, briefcase, gym bag, or other item as a fashionable accessory. aquaBling is healthy, as knowing which bottle is yours reduces illness due to accidentally drinking after someone else; it is earth-friendly, as fewer half-empty bottles are thrown away due to bottle confusion; and it is beautiful and allows a woman to personalize her life!

The idea for aquaBling began when the company's founder, Evie, attended a family function. While cleaning up, she saw numerous half-empty water bottles being thrown away simply because nobody knew who they belonged to.
While flying home a few days later, she noticed other families who struggled with the same "bottle confusion" dilemma. She began her research to find a practical, attractive, and affordable solution. Countless hours and many different versions later, aquaBling was born.

aquaBling is available in six charm styles and five jewel colors, along with three new finishes, so you're sure to find one that suits you best!

At aquaBling we believe in making products that allow you to have fun, stay healthy, and live eco-consciously. In an effort to further reduce the amount of trash generated, our packaging is completely reusable. So when you open your aquaBling, there is nothing to throw away. You can store your jewelry (or your aquaBling) in the sachet bag, or put your paperclips, spare change, or other objects (aquaBling) in our tin canisters from the aquaPacks.

So whose bottle? With aquaBling, it's uniquely yours!
